Our credentials for swim lessons
The founders of Uswim have been in the business of training swimming teachers for over 30 years. The Uswim program has been constantly improved and refined over this period. What we have today is a swim program which we know works for everyone. Tens of thousands of babies, children and adults have learnt to thrive in water using these techniques.
At Uswim we educate both students and teachers on a daily basis which is why we can pass on our knowledge to you with the utmost confidence.
Benefits of teaching your own children
Formal swimming lessons are a great way to get children confident in the water. However they do not suit everyone in today’s society.
Here are a few examples;
- Shift workers or people whose schedule changes.
- Those people who cannot afford expensive weekly lessons.
- Those people who are not living close enough to quality lessons.
- Parents or carers who simply would like to teach their children when it suits them.
- Those people who have had a bad experience with swim schools.
Our philosophy on learning
All useful educational programs break the learning process down into small, attainable steps. For example, for a child to dog paddle, they must first be comfortable placing their eyes in the water. For a child to swim 20 metres, they must first be able to breath efficiently. Students thrive in programs where the goals are achievable and their confidence builds gradually. One achieved skill is usually all it takes to provide the motivation to perform the next. It is up to the teacher to make the student aware of the goal or skill and communicate how it will be mastered.
Uswim has found that results are best when the learning environment is positive, enjoyable and challenging. Children respond best when boundaries are set, rules are clear and effort is rewarded with encouragement.
