Lessons at your pool
How a lesson goes
A lesson is thirty minutes in your pool. A session is six lessons.
- 01
Step 1: Arrive and set up
The instructor arrives a few minutes early, closes the gate behind them and says hello to your swimmer and to the adult on the deck.
- 02
Step 2: Warm up in the shallow end
Walking in by the steps, blowing bubbles at the wall and getting used to the water for the day.
- 03
Step 3: Practice one thing
Floating, kicking, breathing or a stroke, depending on the level, with the instructor in the water beside your swimmer.
- 04
Step 4: Finish with the adult
The last minutes are a game. Then the instructor tells you what the lesson covered and what comes next.
In the water
Who is in the water, and who is on the deck
An instructor is in the water beside your swimmer for the whole lesson. A parent or another adult stays on the deck where the swimmer can see them, with phones put away from the edge.
Lessons are no substitute for adult supervision, at your pool or any other.
