Top Tips for Parents


To help support the learning within our lessons, we have created some top tips for parents. Please have a look at the list below and try and add them into your routine when coming swimming!

Do’s

  • Congratulate and celebrate achievements no matter how big or small
  • Watch the lesson and be a part of your swimmers learning
  • Check appDot for details to help monitor progress and work on things at home
  • Encourage listening and ‘best behaviour’ to get the most out of the time with your tutor

Don’ts

  • Use bribes for a reason for the swimmer to do something, this usually does not end well
  • Refrain from getting involved with the lesson as this can be an additional distraction to your swimmer and others in the class
  • Refrain from requesting further details from the instructor personally, as our classes run on a tight ship and the tutor’s attention is required on the students in the class. For progress updates, please login to appDot
