Summer Swimming Tips
Backyard swimming pools are beginning to warm up.  Parents may start to consider "taking a break" from their child's weekly swim lesson.  Summer is an important time to remain consistent with your child's lesson schedule.

Swim lessons teach children valuable lifesaving skills. At the Gold Medal Swim School it starts with water relaxation.  A relaxed swimmer, will make the right "survival choices" and learn faster, even in very stressful situations.  This sounds simple, but after 50 years in swimming we know this step can not be overlooked.  Once relaxed, we teach a turn around back to the wall sequence, back floating and air regulation.  Keep it simple and basic...the fundamentals of swimming are universal and applicable from infancy to Olympic Champion.

Relaxation and water exploration enables kids to develop their cognitive and motor skills. Swimming lessons will provide them with all the skills needed to survive in water.
