November 2024: Short Distance Training

When will my kid learn to swim? Why are they only swimming short distances? My kid never gets a chance to swim a full length of the pool. How will they get better if they’re always stopping short?

I love these questions because they illustrate an opportunity to educate parents on how swim lessons work.

We want your child to swim. We would LOVE for your swimmer to do a full length with excellent technique instead of struggling and learning bad habits that we’ll have to retrain or overcome later.
