Hackettstown, NJ
You’ve signed your child up for swimming classes. You bought all the gear. Now, is there anything else you need to do to help him or her make the most of the experience? As Mt. Arlington, NJ’s trusted choice for swimming classes, British Swim School North New Jersey has a few tips for you:
Arrive on time and with all the essentials. If you’re constantly running late, or your child doesn’t have everything needed for their lesson, then it’s going to impact what they get out of it. Aim to arrive a few minutes earlier than their swimming class start time, so neither one of you feels rushed. Also, before you leave home, make sure the swim bag has everything your child needs for a productive swim lesson.
Use the bathroom before class. When one child has to use the bathroom during swim class, suddenly every child has to. This can take up a huge chunk of time in a lesson that’s only around 30 minutes long, especially when it comes to getting wet bathing suits on and off. Not only that, but it breaks the focus of the students. That’s why it’s always helpful for parents to have their child go to the bathroom before they get into the pool.
Consider year-round classes. You might have enrolled your son or daughter in one swimming class in our Mt. Arlington location. But if you want them to become proficient swimmers as quickly as possible, year-round classes are best. The more frequently your child is in the water, repeating drills and activities, the faster they’ll gain new skills and master them.
Discuss water safety at home. At our Mt. Arlington-area swim school, we focus on water safety and survival skills in all of our swimming classes, even for the littlest swimmers. At home, or when you’re swimming together as a family, it’s important to reinforce these rules, so they become second nature to your child. This includes never swimming alone, jumping into the pool feet first, and not running on the pool deck.
