What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
- Classes should never be larger than 4 students to 1 instructor
- Don’t pay for lessons that rely heavily on playtime or swimming with flotation devices.
- Make sure all classes have set goals, and that these goals are transparent to you
- Make sure your kids can progress individually at their own pace and are not held back by a group setting.
- Make sure the school teaches real survival skills: Kids need to learn how to react in case of an accident, when they have no flotation devices or googles at hand
