We send them to school for 6 hours per day to learn as this is what is required so the understanding of how a child learns is there, we just need to transfer this into our expectations of learning to swim.īelow are some of our Hot Tips on how to help your pre schoolers progression.

In a term of swimming lesson (if you make it to every lesson) your child has had a full 5 hours to practice these skills over a three month period. 30 minutes per week is great! It is better than nothing but the more you can practice the quicker this progression will be. Putting your child’s swim lesson time into perspective with something like teaching them to walk 30 minutes a week is not a lot of time to practice, If you only allowed your child to practice their walking for 30 minutes a week you can understand that it would take them a while to build the muscle, movement and co-ordination to do this. As with everything in your child’s life (and your own) a quick progression to mastering skills comes from practice.
