Here are some practical tips to help you and your child make the most of their holiday swimming lessons.
Ensure your child is ready for the swimming holiday programme with swimwear, goggles, a towel, a water bottle, and spare clothes. Label items to avoid mix-ups and let them enjoy the day to the fullest.
Introduce your child to water at home to build confidence for holiday swimming lessons. Simple activities like floating, blowing bubbles, or basic kicking can help them feel at ease and ready for success.
Discussing what to expect can alleviate any first-day jitters, especially for children new to swimming lessons. Highlight friendly instructors, fun activities, and the chance to make new friends to turn nervousness into excitement.
Swimming is a full-body activity, and staying hydrated is a must. Remind your child to drink water before and after each session. Pair this with healthy snacks to keep their energy levels up, ensuring they’re ready to dive into each swimming class with enthusiasm.
Help your child set small, achievable goals for their swimming lessons, like mastering a new stroke or improving their floating. This keeps them motivated and gives them a sense of accomplishment as they progress.
By taking these steps, you can help your child fully enjoy and benefit from their time at Aqua Artist’s swimming holiday programme. We trust this will make a difference!
