LESSONS WILL BE HELD REGARDLESS OF WEATHER
Allow 10-15 minutes in the pool for one child. The actual water time will be determined by the coach to suit the individual needs of the child. Under no circumstances should you be concerned with the number of minutes, but rather the quality of the instruction and the end result.
Water Temperature is 92-94 Degrees Depending on Time of Year
Continuity is the key to success. Once started, attend all classes in succession. Be on time. There are no make-ups for voluntary absences. If possible, have the same person bring the child to class each day.

As with any area of education, practice is vital to the success of the new swimmer. While your swimmer will have all of the necessary skills and training, practice will reinforce the lessons and create a conditioned response. The rapid, conditioned response is what saves the child’s life.
Use the same drills that we used during the lesson.
Maintain credibility by having the child swim fixed distances.
Be in charge. The parent must dictate any activity that requires a mature and responsible decision.
Do not ask, tell. Use a calm, reassuring voice with lots of encouragement and smiles. But still tell. Often the child dislikes you for this but it does not negate your love, be consistent! He will thank you for it now and later.
Promote slow swimming. This keeps the new swimmer relaxed and focused as he builds confidence, comfort, and fundamental skills.
