Why is it taking a long time for my child to “level up”?

Categories: CHILD SWIM LESSONS FAQS, GROUP SWIM LESSONS FAQS

For each level that Premier Swim Academy offers, there are a few key skills that the instructor will focus on. It is very important that each of the skills is mastered before students move on to the next level in order to follow the specially designed curriculum. It is common for younger students (3 to 5 years old) to spend more time on the 2nd and 3rd level skills where kicking correctly is crucial. The same is true for older students (5 to 8 years old) to spend more time at advanced levels where a great deal of coordination is required to master skills. Feel free to ask your instructor questions about how you can practice at home to help your student master the required skills to level up!
