How to Choose the Right Swim School for You and Your Family
Selecting a swimming school for your children can be an important decision as it can have a significant impact on their safety, confidence and overall skill level in the water. As a parent, you want to make sure that your child is in a safe, supportive and engaging environment that promotes their growth and development. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are our top tips to finding the perfect swimming school for you and your family.
Qualified and Experienced Instructors
The quality of the instructors is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting a swimming school. Look for a school that employs qualified and experienced instructors who have received professional training in swimming instruction and safety. These instructors should also have a passion for teaching and a commitment to helping children learn and grow.
All SwimWorld’s instructors are either Swim Australia or AustSwim certified, giving you peace of mind that you will be taught by educated and experienced teachers.
Safety-Focused Curriculum
It’s important to select a swimming school that places a strong emphasis on safety. Look for a school that uses a safety-focused curriculum and provides a safe and secure environment for children to learn and grow.
Once per term, SwimWorld runs a water safety week, focusing on “real-life” drills to ensure children are taught to use their water safety skills in different scenarios.
Small Class Sizes
Small class sizes are important for ensuring that children receive individual attention and support from their instructors. Look for a swimming school that limits the number of students in each class to ensure that your child receives the attention they need to learn and grow. Here at SwimWorld, we have a maximum of 6 children in each class, allowing our instructors to give the care and attention each child needs to build their swimming skills.
Positive and Encouraging Environment
A positive and encouraging environment can have a significant impact on your child’s experience and success in swimming lessons. Look for a swimming school that creates a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where children feel comfortable and confident. This can include regular feedback, recognition and rewards for achievement, and opportunities for children to work together and collaborate. Our instructors regularly provide feedback to our swimmer’s families during and after lessons to help with the child’s progress and continue encouragement at home!
Convenient Location and Availability
Convenient location and availability are important factors to consider when selecting a swimming school. Look for a school that is located near your home or workplace and offers classes at times that are convenient for you and your family. Additionally, look for a school that offers flexible scheduling options, such as make-up classes, to accommodate your busy schedule.
Selecting a swimming school for your children is an important decision that can have a significant impact on their safety, confidence, and overall skill level in the water. By taking the time to research and compare your options, you can find a swimming school that is the right fit for your child and your family.
