When Do You Believe Your Child Has Learned Enough Skills to Finish Lessons?
​
This is a common question among parents: When has my child truly learned enough to complete their swimming lessons?
Many might think it's when their child can turn around and swim back to the edge, swim from point A to B, complete 100 metres, or master all four strokes.
But the reality is, there isn’t one definitive answer.
At TJ's Swim, we believe that a child has truly mastered swimming when they can swim 1 kilometre (1K) unassisted.
​
This milestone reflects not just the ability to perform various strokes but also the endurance, strength, and confidence needed to navigate the water safely.
Achieving this 1K goal means that your child has developed the critical skills to protect themselves in the water if ever needed.
​
Our ultimate goal for every child in our program is to reach this 1K milestone.
Here’s why:
-
Endurance and Confidence: Swimming 1K requires a high level of stamina, demonstrating that your child is not only comfortable but also confident in the water for an extended period.
-
Safety: The ability to swim 1K unassisted equips your child with the skills to handle unexpected situations in the water, significantly enhancing their safety.
-
Comprehensive Skill Set: Reaching this milestone means your child has likely mastered various strokes and techniques, giving them a well-rounded and robust swimming ability.
-
Lifelong Skill: Swimming is a vital, lifelong skill. Achieving this level of proficiency ensures that your child can swim confidently and safely throughout their life.
​
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to guide your child towards this goal gradually.
We start with our Tots classes, which build water confidence, and then progress through our Learn to Swim and Stroke Development programs. At every stage, we emphasize technique and the development of the skills necessary to eventually swim 1K unassisted.
​
We encourage parents to view swimming as more than just a recreational activity. It's a crucial life skill that offers safety, confidence, and joy.
By setting the 1K goal, we ensure that children don’t just learn to swim—they gain the ability to save themselves, making swimming lessons a powerful investment in their future.
​
At TJ's Swim, we’re dedicated to helping your child reach this significant milestone. Together, let’s equip them with the skills and confidence to swim 1K and beyond!
