Preparing Your Toddler for Swim Lessons
Transitioning your toddler to independent swim lessons can be challenging, but with preparation and support, it can be a positive experience.
Tips to Ease the Transition
Visit the Facility: Schedule a tour or attend an Open Swim to familiarize your child with the environment.
Talk About It: Prepare your toddler by discussing swim lessons, packing their gear together, and explaining you'll watch from the viewing area.
Acknowledge Fears: Show empathy and remind them their teacher is there to keep them safe.
Create a Ritual: Establish a consistent goodbye routine like a special wave or hug.
Stick to Routine: Regular attendance helps your child adjust and feel comfortable.
