Why Private Swimming Lessons!

You’ve tried group lessons, but are starting to look elsewhere because your child is not improving the way you would like. 

This blog post was written to help you understand what private swimming lessons have to offer, so keep reading. 

Private swimming lessons are a great way to ensure a successful learn to swim experience. Looking for a private swim teacher is very easy to do. However, finding a good, passionate one who really knows how to teach kids is a story for another day.

Another reason private swimming lessons are a great investment for your child is they get individualized attention. Everyone learns differently and catering to their specific needs will increase their success in learning how to swim.

You will know exactly what you are going to get from the private swim instructor. Outlining a plan before lessons will give you a good idea of what to expect once the lessons are over. This eliminates the ‘let’s try it out and see what happens’ mentality.

You know your child best and can explain to their private swim teacher any areas of improvement. If your child has taken group lessons or even private swimming lessons before you see what skills they have fallen behind on or anything you would like to correct. 

Relationships are everything. Finding a great private swim coach who not only knows what they are doing AND your family likes them is a recipe for success! Every person who claims to be a swim instructor may not possess the skills to teach children effectively. Once you identify someone you can trust and can see improvement with, is someone you should hold on to. You never know what other swim services you may need from them later on in life.

Children love to play! They have energy for days on end when it comes to anything that is not school or chores. Placing children in one on one sessions will allow them to focus more on the task at hand because they have fewer distractions. Now we’re not going to say all distractions because they’re kids. They find a way to make a game out of any and everything!

We know you would love this reason, quicker learning time. Since your child is in a one on one session, the instructor can give them 100% of their attention. Lesson plans can be altered to fit your child’s needs.

Last but not least, scheduling is more flexible. Working with a private swimming instructor will allow you to schedule lessons around your family’s busy schedule without missing a class.

With all of these positives, comes pricing. Private lessons are usually priced per lesson and can vary from instructor to instructor. Always remember, you get what you pay for.
