Private versus Group Lessons

It is a common belief that children will progress faster if they are registered in a private lesson. Statistically, there is no evidence to support this. In fact, private lessons are not necessary for the majority of the population, unless you have the following considerations:
  1. A specific skill that your child is not progressing on which is forcing them to be held back in lessons.
  2. Any type of special need or requirement that prohibits your child from participating in a group environment.
We strive to give each child equal amount of attention in a group lesson—as well, a group environment promotes teamwork, offers encouragement and motivation, as well as enjoyable interaction with other children. Consider group lessons first! 

Swimmer Evaluation

Evaluation provides guidance on how swimmers can progress and what class level would provide the best environment for development. It is unusual for participants to progress through a level on the first try. Swimmers often spend a few sessions in a level before moving to the next one. A recommendation to repeat the same level should not be misinterpreted as a lack of improvement as this is seldom the case. For this reason, parents/guardians are encouraged to respect the recommendation of the aquatic staff.
