Children’s Swim Lessons
Happy Swimmers Swim School specializes in home swim lessons for children. Our swim teachers have at least 3 years experience teaching swim lessons and many have a background in working with children in other professions. We give lessons for ages 6 months and up, although the majority of our beginning swimmer little ones are between the ages of 2 and 6.
Frequency of Lessons
Private swim lessons will yield the quickest learning, and going more frequently during the week is better than longer gaps. We suggest twice a week minimum, although three times a week is preferred.
For 2 to 3 year olds, a 30 minute lesson works well. For 4 year olds and up, 45 minutes is usually best, unless the child is more fearful, then we suggest to begin at 30 minute swim lessons.
Multiple Children Learning in the Same Lesson (Group Swim Lessons)
For multiple children, two same age children can share a lesson with the same instructor and split the cost. Both for safety and best learning, we do not take over two children at a time with one instructor.
Parent and Me Swim Lessons
If a child is younger than 2 years old, mom or dad can be in the water too if needed, and the instructor will teach through the parent. Before 2 years old, kids are just learning how to be comfortable in the water, body positioning, and structure of lessons. They do not have the motor skills yet to learn to swim.
We do not believe in “drown-proofing” your child. This tactic is not beneficial to overall pool development. More times than not kids become terrified of water when they do these lessons. You cannot drown-proof a child. Anyone, anywhere can drown for a number of reasons, which is why you must ALWAYS watch your children closely while they are in and around the pool.
Note: If floaties or life preservers have been used, please discontinue as soon as possible before lessons begin. More info on floaties can be found under the “About Us” tab at top, then select: swimming tips page. The more educated you get, the more you’ll do the right things to help when your child starts swim lessons. Our site isn’t just buying swim lessons. It’s here to help you learn too!
