2. Get the pool ready

To ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, it is important to get the pool ready before the swimming lessons begin.

This includes checking the water quality and chemical levels, cleaning the pool, and making sure the pool is well-maintained and safe for swimming. It is also important to make sure the pool is equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, such as life jackets, rescue floats, and a first aid kit.

3. Get the Right Swimwear and Kit

Once you have the pool ready and the right equipment, the next step is to get the right swimwear. Swimmers need to choose something comfortable to wear that will not interfere with the swimming techniques.

We normally advise our swimmers (depending if they are boys or girls) on which type of swimwear to purchase. Ideally, they should look for swimwear that is designed for swimming, as this will provide them with more flexibility and range of motion in the water.

We encourage people to buy swimwear from famous swimming brands like Speedo or Arena or TYR, considering they have better material’s resistance to chlorine and other pool chemicals . Pool Chemicals do affect how swimsuit ages over time. Swimwears should fit comfortablly and allow easy movement in the water.

4.Familiarise yourself with local laws and regulations

Check the rules and follow all the regulations to the letter. Depending on where you live, if the pool that you are using in part of your house, you may not need be obtain any permit to have swimming lessons at home. But, if you live a residential development and the pool is shared between a few homes, you need to check the rules and regulations of your own pool and if you can have lessons.

Don’t live anything to chance. Ensure your home pool complies with all safety regulations and standards.

Some local authorities may also have additional restrictions on the number of people allowed to swim at any one time, as well as other rules about the use of home pools. Make sure you are aware of these regulations and follow them to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Your guiding principle should be; better you and your students are safe – even if it means incurring an extra cost – than being sorry.

5. Lesson Durations

Planning the swimming sessions for your children in a way they have enough time to rest between lessons and other activities that they do.

We advise you to ensure your children well-rested before the start of their lessons to get the most out of their lessons.

Most children can do lessons between 30 to 60 minutes but, anything more then 1 hour will not be efficient as swimming is tiring.
