This session is starting to wind down and the skills are growing stronger with each lesson. Muscle memory is starting to take over. Students are learning how to incorporate their skills with playing. I could not be more proud of each of them! 🤗

Here’s to a happy weekend of rest for all of you out there, especially my littles who have worked so hard this week ☺️

09/24/2026

In just about 2 hours total of 1:1 instruction over the last few weeks, this sweet toddler has learned how to swim, turn onto her back to float/breathe and turn again to swim to safety.

In short, 10 minute lessons, we have slowly chipped away at each skill and now our focus will be moving towards full independence.

It doesn’t have to take months or years to learn how to be safe in the water (although we DO encourage regular practice and maintenance)

Happy Friday!

We are 1/2 way through our session and my students have already learned so much! From swimming, floating and rolling back into a float, they are all on their way to becoming aquatic problem solvers 🤗

Floating and crying

Our buoyancy changes with each breath that we take. When we exhale, our bodies sink more into the water and when we inhale, we rise back up. It’s important to remain calm in a float so we can regulate our breathing and buoyancy 😅

That being said, I think there is a benefit to littles who learn how to float while crying. Through careful observation., I’m able to allow the student to feel the impact that their cry has on their float and guide them as they engage with their environment to make appropriate corrections.

It’s pretty neat to watch a student learn how to regulate their cry to remain in a stable float. They figure out how to make enough noise to be heard (which is what we would want in an emergency) but not so much that they lose control of their ability to access air.

Did he ALWAYS feel this way about swim lessons? Nope!

There were some tears during his initial learning but he has come back several times over the last year and a half to continue learning and growing in his skills and now he LOVES it! 🤗

Stay the course and watch them thrive! 😅

When their head is lifted up during a swim, there’s a very good chance their legs are sinking. It takes too much strength to have an effective swim this way.

This is why proper breath control and putting their face in the water is one of the first skills we teach.

From there, we train them to look down while they swim to help keep their hips up, along with effective kicks.

After only two weeks of lessons (approx. 100 minutes of 1:1 instruction) this little guy has built a strong, short and reliable swim 🤗 Next week, we float!
