FAQ’s
Q – How long will it take my child to learn to swim?
A – We all learn at a different speed, the most important thing is not to push your child and that your child enjoys the learning process, it is also important to remember that some children will have had different experiences in the water, some will be more confident these children will usually progress quicker than the less confident children, the key is not to give up, until they can swim.
