I am adding a new swim lesson format to my lessons this summer. TKO will now be offering 2 Week Intensive lessons for the month of June. These classes will be Monday through Thursday for 2 weeks for a total of 8 lessons. The benefit to an intensive swim lesson session is that with the minimized down-time between lessons, your child will pick up the skills he or she is learning more quickly; the beginning of each lesson your child takes will be a review of the skills he or she accomplished in the previous lesson. With 4 to 7 days between many weekly or bi-weekly lessons, the review can be a slow process. By repeating the process on a daily basis, your child will have more muscle memory recall and accelerate more quickly.
For children who are afraid of the water, the daily immersion is a much quicker way to get past the swimming blues and begin the learning process. Often children who are scared use the days in between lessons to magnify their fears, remembering the scary parts and not thinking about the enjoyable parts. The shorter the amount of time between lessons, the less this happens with the little ones, and the more quickly they adapt to the swim lesson model and get over their fears.
There are two intensive sessions scheduled for this summer. The dates are:
Jun 6 - 16
and
June 20 - 30
These classes will be available every half hour from 9:30am - 1:30pm Monday - Thursday as private lessons.
Many swim schools offer the 2 week intensive lessons as part of their curriculum. I am happy to be introducing these to my repertoire and hopefully extending the number of students I can help achieve swimming milestones this summer. If you are interested in registering for the new intensive lessons, or for at-home private or semi-private lessons, you can check out the pricing on my website: TKO Swim
If intensives go well, there may be additional sessions added after St. Stephen's has their pool replastered in July.
