How Frequently Should My Child Swim with A Sea Love Swim Instructor?
Frequency is key when honing in on a new skill. This is why we recommend twice a week or more for children learning how to swim. We also focus on water safety and teach our swimmers the Sea Love Swim safety sequence of being able to fall into the pool and swim back to the wall.
Why Are Sea Love Swim Lessons private swim lessons?
We teach private swimming lessons because we can customize our lessons toward each individual swimmer, provide in-depth feedback to our swimmers and their family as well as offer flexibility with scheduling.
How Do I Book Lessons For More Than One Child?
We offer Multiple Swimmer Lessons for families with more than one child. With this option you can book a Sea Love Swim Instructor to come teach lessons and they will divide the lesson time between the swimmer count selected for that Multiple Swimmer Lesson. Read More About Multiple Swimmer Lessons.
