Following in his big brother’s footsteps, my younger son was so excited to start swimming at British Swim School in Germantown. While he has always loved playing in the water, at almost 7 years old he did not know any proper strokes or treading techniques. I was eager to have him learn important safety skills and he was happy to have fun in the pool.
It was recommended to start him as a Minnow (which was a level below where I thought he should begin) so he could build up his confidence. And after just 2 weeks, he moved up and was so proud of himself. He was motivated to take on the stroke techniques of the more advanced level with the knowledge of their proven water survival techniques. Eight months later he is now a proficient swimmer in Shark 2, which is the final level of stroke development, and his confidence and progress have both skyrocketed!
Each swim lesson offers a small group environment (maximum of 4 kids) so there is plenty of individual attention to practice and refine skills, as well as feedback for the parent at the end of each session. Not only are the staff knowledgeable and well-trained, but they are also great with kids and make swimming enjoyable. My son and I are so grateful for the valuable safety lessons that he learned and for the fun and encouraging atmosphere that he continues to look forward to each week!
