Parents play an
important role in children's swimming experience. While children are striving
hard to learn how to swim, parents should know how to help their children.
1. Do not expect
your child to be able to swim soon after they are introduced to the water. It
depends on individual learning ability. As a parent, you should focus on the
long-term goal and avoid putting pressure on achievement and expecting quick
results, as this may become counter-productive.
2. Don't be over
ambitious about your child's progress. Allow them to gradually develop and
improve at his or her own pace. There is no shortcut in learning to swim.
Practice makes perfect. Every children needs regular lessons and training, so
don't hurry them! Your child will learn much more in short and frequent regular
visits than in the occasional long one.
3. If your child no
longer seems to enjoy the water, don't give up! Continue your regular lessons
but don't waste all the earlier good work. It is a good idea to just hang
around and watch as the others carry on, rather than skipping lessons.
4. Don't compare
your child with others. Everyone has different learning ability.
5. If your child
accidentally slips into the water and swallows water during the lesson, don't
worry, as this is a learning process. Praise them for trying. Children need to
be encouraged. By doing this, children will enjoy and have fun.
6. If your child
cries during the lesson, it doesn't mean that your child is not ready for
swimming lessons. You child may be adjusting to the separation from Mum and
Dad, getting accustomed to the new surroundings, or just having a bad day. Give
your child some time and let him or her develop confidence. Very soon he or she
will be able to enjoy this wonderful experience in a totally relaxed
environment with us.
