Ways to Support your Swimmer between lessons

Make Bath Time Count

Let kids splash, pour water over their heads, and blow bubbles

Gently encourage putting their face in the water to build comfort

Practice Breathing

Try blowing bubbles in a bowl of water or the bathtub.

Count 1, 2, 3 and have them take a big breath in

Do Dryland Practice

Practice arm movements for scoops

Do flutter kicks lying on a couch or the floor

Try simple balance games or kids' yoga for better floating skills

Watch and Learn Together

Watch short swim demonstration videos online, or clips from recent Olympics

Talk about what they're learning in lessons to reinforce key ideas

Talk about the pool in a positive manner

Celebrate Small Wins

Praise progress like "going underwater" or "great kicks today"

Help kids set small goals they can feel proud of achieving

Stay Consistent

Regular lessons with home practice will lead to faster progress and more confidence

Tip: Even 10–15 minutes of water play or skill-building a few times a week can keep your swimmer progressing happily and safely.
