Swimming underwater

Having a child put their face in the water is an important step in swim lessons that will help a little swimmer progress into a strong independent swimmer.

This can be a scary process for the parent watching closely as their child is experiencing swim lessons for the first time. However, it is an essential step in preparing the swim student for learning how to swim and when done correctly by professional instructors, your child will think it’s fun.

Here are some of the steps and skills that an instructor may use to prepare a child for their face to go under water.

These are some of the common techniques that our instructors use to help get a young swimmer get use to water near the face. These steps are extremely important in the process because it helps the child prepare for the bigger steps like going under water and holding their breath.

Sunsational Swim School believes in a caring approach to teaching swim lessons and bases all instruction around developing trust with the swim student. This means that a swim student will never be surprised or tricked into doing any skill or drill. This method can set a young swimmer back and even cause them or increase their fear of the water.
