This is very common with a lot of children, so please do not feel as though you have done something wrong. If your child/ren is scared and crying, please do not stop your lessons (as hard as it might be to see your precious little one upset). All of our teachers are highly qualified and experienced, and are trained in how to deal with children that are scared of the water.

Steps that you can take to try help the process:

– Please arrive early for your lesson so that your child/ren can settle before the class.

– Try to arrive at Aqua Marine Aquatics Academy with your costume already on.

– Be POSITIVE, tell your child that they are going for swimming lessons and encourage them that everything will be OK, and that they will be safe (please do not bride them into coming to swimming lessons).

Please hand your child over to the teacher, and then sit outside at the coffee area to observe. If your child/ren cannot immediately see/run to you, then they are less inclined to just “hop out”.
