What Does an Online Swim Lesson Look Like?
Have you been searching for the perfect swim lessons for your little one? We know, there are hundreds of options to choose from to give your baby an amazing first experience in the water, it’s hard to know where to start! At watermellow, we believe it’s never too early to start growing a lasting love for the water, and here’s how we do it.
Our one-on-one online baby swim lessons are designed to foster a deep love and appreciation for water. We understand the importance of parent and caregiver involvement in their child's swim journey, and that's why we encourage active participation throughout the process.
Personalized Attention
At watermellow, we prioritize individualized instruction. Our swim lessons are conducted online, in a one-on-one setting, ensuring that your baby or toddler (ages 3 weeks to 36 months) receives dedicated attention and guidance from our experienced swimming instructors. With this personalized approach, we can adapt our teaching methods to match each child's unique abilities, strengths, and comfort level in the water.
Our Program
When it comes to our curriculum, we've carefully crafted it with a focus on nurturing and developing your baby's unique abilities and strengths. Our lessons last for 20 minutes and take place over Zoom, starting right in the comfort of your own bathtub. It's a safe and cozy environment to introduce your little one to the wonders of water.
To get the most out of your experience, we recommend scheduling bathtub lessons every two weeks, or if you’re hopping into a pool, weekly lessons would be ideal. Consistency is key in fully engaging in your learning journey with us.
Here's a helpful tip: consider using Bluetooth speakers during the lessons. They can come in handy if your baby gets a little fussy and you don't want to miss any important instructions. Our instructors will also provide guidance on additional circuits you can practice before the next session, so you can continue the progress outside of the lessons.
Rest assured, we keep track of your baby's progress. Each session is documented, ensuring that all of our instructors are aware of your little one's development with us. It's all about working together to make the most of this incredible swimming journey!
Skill Progression
We believe in nurturing your baby or toddler's swim abilities at their own pace. During our swim lessons, your little one will embark on a skill progression tailored to their unique needs and abilities.
Here are some of the skills we focus on:
Breath control and submersion: Helping your child feel comfortable holding their breath and submerging underwater.
Floats and glides: Teaching techniques to achieve a relaxed and balanced float, as well as gliding through the water.
Kicks and paddles: Developing strong kicking and paddling movements to propel themselves through the water.
Diving and recovery: Introducing basic diving skills and the ability to recover to the surface safely.
Swim strokes: Building upon foundational skills to introduce various swim strokes, helping your child become a confident swimmer.
Throughout the lessons, our experienced instructors provide positive reinforcement and praise, fostering a supportive and motivating environment for your child. We celebrate every milestone and achievement, nurturing their confidence and love for the water along the way.
