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, this may become counter-productive.

Don’t be over ambitious towards your child’s progress. Allow them to gradually develop and to improve at their own pace. There is no shortcut in learning to swim. Practice makes perfect. Every child needs regular lessons and training, never try to hurry! Your child will learn much more in short regular visits than in the occasional long one. A child’s attention span is extremely short. The younger the child, the shorter the attentions span. Young children concentration span is about twenty minutes.

If your child no longer seems to enjoy the water, don’t give up! Continue your regular lessons. Do not 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

Don’t compare your child with others. Everyone has different learning abilities.

If your child cries during the lesson, it doesn’t mean that your child is not ready for swimming lessons. Your child may be adjusting to the separation from mom and dad and getting accustomed to the new surroundings, or just having a bad day. Give your child some time and let him develop his confidence. 

If your child accidentally swallows water during the lesson. Don’t worry; this is a learning process
