A testimonial from one of our swim parents! 💙
At Farnsworth Swim School, our goal is not just to help children pass levels, but to truly master each skill and build confidence in the water.
We always remind parents that it is completely normal for children to cry during the first couple of days of lessons. Every child adjusts at their own pace, and each has their own unique timeline.
This testimonial is a great example of how Farnsworth Swim School is here to support both parents and swimmers through those first few lessons and beyond. We are committed to encouraging every child while helping them become safe, confident, and successful swimmers. 🏊♀️✨

Optimal Age to Start Swim Lessons
Here at Farnsworth Swim School, we recommend that children begin their swim lessons as soon as possible! We teach students as young as 12 months old, and we have found that the earlier a student begins, the less fearful and more comfortable in the water they tend to become.
When children begin lessons at a very young age, they become naturally less fearful about the water.
Toddlers tend to be more upset about being away from their parents than worrying about the water, and this type of fear is much easier to overcome.
Once they have formed a bond of trust with their instructor, they are able to have fun and learn to love the water.

Optimal number of weeks for swimming lessons! - https://mailchi.mp/d259904c9e93/optimalweeksof-swim-lessons
We recommend that students attend lessons for at least 8 days. It is important that a student has at least 8 days of instruction because of the progression of our program, as well as the complexity of learning to swim and or for someone who wants to dramatically improve their strokes. Each day, new techniques and skills are taught and built upon. The more lessons a student receives, the more opportunities they have to progress.
