Even when you re not in the water, you play an essential role in the Red Cross Swim Preschool Program. Your enthusiasm and encouragement can make your child s swim lessons a fun and rewarding experience. Here s how you can help: Understand that the physical abilities of children vary greatly, resulting in development at different rates. Avoid putting pressure on achievement; encourage your child to enjoy swim lessons and take pride in personal success. Praise your child for his or her effort and recognize newly acquired skills. Success tips for your pre-schooler: Bring a healthy snack and drink for your child. Kids are often hungry and tired after a lesson. If your child misses a lesson, talk with the Instructor. The Instructor may suggest skills to work on during a family swim. Put a light, close-fitting t-shirt on your child if you think he or she may become cold during the half-hour class. 7
