To swim with a child, where can you find a swimming school?
Swimming schools are organized in swimming halls and in summer also on the beaches. Them
organized by, for example, municipal sports activities, swimming clubs and other associations, as well as private companies.
On the Suh.fi website you can find a list of safe and
from approved swimming schools.
When choosing a swimming school, it is good to consider the following things:
Familiarizing yourself with the swimming pool - Before the start of the swimming school, it is good to visit
getting to know the swimming hall beforehand. It's good to do this a few at a time
once. The depth of the pool, the noises of the water, the splashing of the water and other people
can be exciting the first few times. When the place is already familiar, it doesn't
in itself excites the swimmer and he can concentrate on teaching at the swimming school while the swimming hall
is already familiar as a place.
Correct assessment of the child's skills - When choosing the right swimming school group for the child, it is good
to assess the child's skills, prefer to be placed in a teaching group of the right level
to find. Swimming schools have built-in requirements for those arriving in groups,
with the help of which the starting level of the entire group can be brought as close as possible to each other.
This contributes to the implementation of the group's curriculum and thereby to everyone
the student's development with the group. Check out the definition of different swimming skills from the suh.fi guide to choosing a swimming school.
