Swim with Carlin at Virgin Active Kloof

Coaching your child is based on trust and friendship. It is very important to build these relationships both with the child and the parent.
This may take time depending on your child's personality. I always approach with caution, as these steps are most important.
Creating a peaceful, yet fun environment where your child feels comfortable to go to the next level with their swim coach.

Songs are always a BIG part of my teaching method. Specially when it comes to the younger children.
My 'Pancake' song has been a great hit.
The beginning of floating on your back when your child is tired in the water and flipping over onto your tummy to continue swimming.

Most swim coaches use this Monkey Monkey song while teaching.
Once your child starts swim lessons, they learn that the wall is their best friend in the water.

For the younger children, it is always important to start with water safety. Making sure that they know that the WALL is their best friend when they are in the water.
As their confidence grows, going under and jumping in is all part of preparing them for the feel of water, if there is ever an event of them falling in.

Kicking, gliding and beginner strokes are all different stages of swimming, but extremely important.
We start planting the seed at a very young age to build understanding of how our bodies work and move in water.

Beginner strokes is always such a fun stage to start.
By this point your child is often confident in the water and confident in their ability.
It's such a great achievement and it should always be rewarded.
