How to swim & how to dive
5. A swimming teacher needs the patience of a saint
It sometimes helps to take the learner's hand and give them more time. It
often makes sense to simply continue practicing next time. However, the
intervals between swimming lessons should not be too long, as regular ‒
preferably daily ‒ training is needed to make progress. The swimming
teacher should ensure that the challenge is appropriate. They should
include breaks and variety during the swimming lesson if the learner needs
to gather new strength or still needs some time for the next step. Both
phases ‒ effort and relaxation ‒ are equally important.
A common mistake:
Most parents are so delighted that their child finally feels like learning to
swim that they overdo the time spent in the water. Give them space to
really look forward to their next swimming lesson and start by celebrating
the small achievements.
