How often should my child swim?
There’s no single answer—each child is different! However, regular swimming is key to progress. Once a week: Great for maintaining skills and enjoying social interactions while learning. Twice or more per week: Ideal for improving technique, building fitness, and developing stronger strokes, starts, and turns. More frequent sessions accelerate progress, boost confidence, and foster discipline and teamwork. Join Us Now!
