How to Choose the Best Swim School for Your Child

Choosing the best swim school for your child can be tough. With so many options, how do you make the right choice? 

Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here’s a simple guide to help you find the perfect swim school for your little swimmer.

Top-Notch Instructors

The first thing to check is the instructors. Are they experienced and qualified? A good swim teacher knows how to work with kids and make learning fun. They should have the right training and certifications. Make sure the instructors have experience teaching children of various ages and skill levels. 

At Terrey Hills Swim School, our instructors are not only skilled swimmers but also excellent teachers, ensuring your child is in good hands right from the start.

Personalised Attention

Class size matters a lot. Small class sizes mean more individual attention for your child. In larger classes, kids might not get the attention they need, and this can slow their progress. This way, each child gets plenty of one-on-one time with the instructor. 

Your child will learn faster and feel more comfortable, which means they have more fun too! Plus, with more individual attention, they can master swimming skills more quickly and confidently.

Comfort and Cleanliness

Take a look at the swim school’s facilities. Are the pools clean and well-maintained? Is the water temperature comfortable? Swimming in a cold or dirty pool isn’t fun for anyone. Good facilities can make a big difference in your child’s swimming experience. Look for heated pools, clean changing areas, and a welcoming environment. 

Safety First

Safety should be a top priority when choosing a swim school. Ask about the school’s safety policies and procedures. Do they have lifeguards on duty during lessons? Do they teach water safety as part of their curriculum? A good swim school will make sure your child knows how to stay safe in and around water. This includes learning how to float, tread water, and get to safety if needed. 

At Terrey Hills Swim School, we prioritise safety, ensuring all our students learn these crucial skills.

Flexible Learning Paths

Different swim schools have different program structures. Look for a school that offers a flexible and progressive program. This means your child can start at their own level and move up as they improve. A good program will have clear goals and milestones, keeping your child motivated and excited to learn more. It’s also helpful if the school offers classes at various times, so you can find a schedule that fits your family’s needs. At Terrey Hills Swim School, our Learn to Swim (LTS) program is designed to grow with your child, starting with the basics and moving on to more advanced skills.
