Anyone that knows a three, four, or five year old child knows that meeting new people can be a difficult and stressful task. Most children are very uncomfortable when meeting new people and experiencing new things; so imagine the upset when a child has to experience swimming for the first time with a total stranger. Consistency with a swim instructor is a very important factor in your child’s success, not only in swimming but in many other areas in life. Having the same swim instructor can help you child form a bond and feel much more comfortable in the water. With most of the fear removed children can concentrate on learning and be most efficient in their lesson. This link talks about the importance of consistency in a child’s development.

Now that the new year (and the new swim season) is upon us Waterworks is doing its yearly round of hireing! when we hire new instructors we hire people who are dedicated and who want to last and be an important part of your child’s swim lesson experience. So look for some bright new faces in 2012 but don’t be alarmed because they will all be trained to the exact Waterworks On Wheels curriculum.
