Swimming Lessons by George Batten

The school year is over. It is a good time to do swim lessons. I have been a swim coach and a learn to swim instructor for 45 years. I get a majority of my students floating in the water, sculling and able to swim 25 yards within the 2 - 5 lessons time frame. The age group 2 - 5 years is an exception because there can be extreme levels of fear of the water and little awareness of what their arms and legs are doing.

I also do adult swim lessons. I did group adult swim lessons at the University of Houston to class sizes of 10 - 20 people. I would have the entire class able to swim the length of the pool in 2 weeks.

My wife and I move to Waco the end of May 2022 to be close to the grandkids.

I charge $50 per half an hour and work mainly out of private pools.

I did swim lesson in the Greater Houston and Galveston Area. To travel some distance I would like to have 3 - 4 lessons at one pool. Two summers ago, a Kingwood family lined up 10 - 15 learn to swim children every Saturday for 6 week period of time.

Eliminate distractions while supervising children around water. Leave your phone in the car, be attentive while talking to friends, and stay alert. It only takes a few seconds to lose your child around the water and less than a minute for a drowning to occur. Be diligent and know where your kids are at all times when around water!

Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child's life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near the water.

I had some of those breakthrough moments this morning. Two brothers, the oldest did three strokes and breath with his arms coming out of the water and over the water, the whole length of the pool. The youngest (3yrs.) swam on his back the width of the pool and kept his head back in the water. It was an enjoyable and happy morning at the pool. Way to go, Ashdin and Kamron!
