Happy Swimmers started teaching at-home swim lessons in 1991 in Los Angeles, with 22 clients. Over the span of the last 19 years, our client list has grown to over 400 families served in many areas. Last year we provided private lifeguarded pool parties to clients in DC. This year marks our inaugural season expanding to do at-home swimming lessons to children for the Greater DC metro community.
As you may be guessing, for our program you need your own home pool, or access to a pool. A friend or community association pool is fine. We carry insurance for any pool we use.
Do we serve your area? If you’re in the DC suburbs in Maryland or Northern Virginia, the answer is yes.
Swim Lesson Tip:
JUMPS FROM THE SIDE: This is self explanatory. Done in the medium
depth of the pool. Reinforce “Toes on the edge” before jumping so the
child has good footing of the side. Reinforce the QUEING . Ready, one, two, three, jump! Allow the child to hold your hand(s) if requested, but progressively through the Swim Lesson visits, move to holding only one hand, then jumping with no hands, then increasing distance and adding the kicking to you.
This was one swimming lesson tip in a series sprinkled around our website. For the complete list, Visit our swim lesson tips and FAQ tab, and to get more tips and specials, follow us on Twitter.
