How long does it take to learn to swim?
Every child learns differently, and at their own pace. We've seen children new to swimming excel in just a couple of half-hour lessons. Others have a longer learning curve. Still others may learn certain skills with ease, but find other tasks more challenging.
How long it takes to learn any skill will depend to a certain extent on natural aptitude, and more importantly attitude. You get out of lessons what you put in, and practice makes perfect, particularly with swimming, as the body moves through water differently than it does on land.Previous swimming experience and a student's feelings towards water are also key - has the student had positive or negative experiences in water?
Do they enjoy themselves in the pool? Many beginners are cautious at first; some are actively fearful; others are confident but lack awareness of water safety. BritSwim teaches not only swimming skills, but water safety. It's our priority to get children familiar with water, safe in it, and loving the experience.
So, while the answer to this question could be "how long is a piece of string?", BritSwim lessons are all about moving children on at their own pace, improving them step by step while ensuring they are learning how to stay safe.
BritSwim will never give a guarantee on how many lessons a student may need, and the reason is simple: with swimming, you should never push beyond what a student - especially younger ones - is comfortable with. That just results in trauma and tension, and we want every child to leave each of their swimming classes with a smile.
