The benefits of frequency in learning to swim
Have you ever gone on vacation and watched with astonishment as your child grew in confidence and ability in the water? On day one your child was sitting on the stairs and by day four diving for toys in the deep end… The difference between your child’s first day at the pool and last was measurable. Ever wonder why that is?
The answer is simple – frequency. When learning new skills novice swimmers need frequency.
When your child spends even just a few consecutive days splashing around in the pool, not only are they building confidence, they are building muscle memory. Muscle memory is an important component in swimming. In the pool the difference between “think” and “react” can mean the difference between sink and swim. When your child builds muscle memory in the pool, skills that your swimmer once spent time processing become automatic, and swimming becomes easy!
At Long Island Swim School our instructors are committed to giving your child the feedback they need to succeed in learning new skills at every lesson. More frequent lessons mean more feedback and more opportunities to practice skills improving muscle memory. Our goal is to get your child swimming correctly without even having to think about it!
This winter send your swimmer to front of the lane with more frequent practice… Add a second day of lessons at Long Island Swim School!
