Description

These are some of the questions that people always ask us.

  • Why do we need to start swimming lessons at such an early age?
  • What is the best age for them to start swimming lessons?
  • How is this supposed to work if babies can’t understand instructions?
  • Does this help babies in their swimming education or it is just a fun time in the water?

Well, first of all, water is a wonderful environment for babies as they were created in very similar conditions. Babies also have limited movements on land due to a weak and developing muscular system; however, they can move freely in the water, which will speed their growing process.

It is also very important to understand that play is the best way for babies to learn; they love wandering around and discovering their surroundings with tasting, touching and playing. It is true that they don't understand most of the verbal instructions. However, they respond to conditioning and in these classes, we educate parents about how to make this happen.

After many years of experience, we can now agree that children who start their swimming education with babies and toddlers swimming backgrounds perform much better than those who are new to swimming. Swimmers with this background tend to have magnificent water familiarisation, buoyancy, and mobility skills. This means they enjoy swimming lessons much more than others with no background.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
