Swim Lessons in Boston: 5 Benefits of Parent-Assisted Classes

At British Swim School Greater Boston, our swim lessons start with parent-assisted classes. These classes are open to children as young as 3 months old, providing a perfect setting for kids to develop early water safety skills.

Wondering what makes parent-assisted classes so valuable? Here are five key benefits to these kinds of swim lessons.

Why Parent-Assisted Swim Lessons in Boston?

1. Water Acclimation. Water safety starts when children become acclimated to water. This process is easier for children in parent-assisted classes. With a parent nearby, children can more easily overcome their fears when first introduced to water. At the same time, children learn that time in the water requires a parent’s presence.

2. Building Independence. Over time, swim lessons provide children with water independence—the ability to swim and enjoy water safely on their own. At British Swim School Greater Boston, our Tadpole, Swimboree, Seahorse, and Starfish classes allow young swimmers to start with parent-assisted lessons and gradually develop a sense of independence.

3. Parent-Child Water Safety. While swim classes offer important benefits to young children, it’s even more important that parents understand ins and outs of water safety. Parent-assisted classes allow moms and dads to develop these skills in tandem with children. This way, you can safely enjoy time at the pool with your child between lessons, and you can learn what it takes to become a Water Watcher.

4. Bonding Experience. At British Swim School Greater Boston, our parent-assisted classes offer a perfect chance for parents to bond with their children. These classes include plenty of songs, splashing, games, and exploration helping children discover the joy of swimming. In our parent-assisted classes, parents and children can share in this experience together.

5. Fun in the Pool. With all the other great reasons to enroll your child in parent-assisted swim lessons, it’s easy to forget how much fun children have in these classes! At British Swim School Greater Boston, water safety comes with a big dose of wonder, laughter, and excitement—and that fun only increases when parents get to take part!
