Last week’s lesson with Parker didn’t go the way we wanted (and it was my fault).

I pushed him underwater before he was ready, and I realized I made a mistake.

As swim instructors, we’re always learning. The most important thing is recognizing when something doesn’t work, adjusting, and creating a better plan for the child in front of us.

In this lesson, we focus on rebuilding trust, creating a safe environment, and helping Parker go from scared and uncomfortable… to smiling, playing, and building confidence in the water. This is a great lesson for any swim instructor or parent working with a child who is nervous or afraid of swimming.
