Swim Lessons By Abbey

Evaluate the skill level of each new student. Discuss with parents what their expectations are for swim lessons. Establish how long and what days we will have lessons. Talk to the student and establish what they want out of lessons.

I have always had a love for teaching and for swimming. About two years ago one of my fellow competitive swimmers suggested I teach swim lessons for the city. I took her suggestion and just fell in love with teaching swim lessons. I love to see students progress and overcome their fears in swimming. 

I have worked with students all over the map from 6-month-olds getting their first taste of swimming all the way to a sweet 49-year-old woman who wanted to conquer her fear of the water. I have also worked with all age groups and skill levels in between such as competitive swimmers wanting to work on their technique. 

Always look for someone who can teach you the survival strokes who knows what they are doing. But also look for someone with competitive experience so you can learn to do more than just the doggie paddle. Also of course look for someone who has a love for what they do.

What do they want to learn from taking lessons? Are they willing to commit to learning and accomplishing their goals?
