Tips in Choosing a Swimming Coach or School

(photo source: familiesonline.co.uk )
There are many things to consider in finding the right swimming school for you. Based on my experiences as swim instructor, I created my own list of considerations. One of the important factors is convenience. It is  important because of the busy lifestyle of most clients nowadays. In terms of convenience, It involves the area where you live and the time of travel to the pool venue. Other factors to consider are the following:

1. Certification. This is related to the safety issue in the pool. Certified coaches are generally trained to handle first aid and water safety procedures. They can respond immediately to emergency situations.

2. Years of experience or Years of operation. A long running school has somehow established a good reputation in the swim coaching industry, however, you still need to check the current operation of the school to ensure if they had maintain the quality of instruction.

3. Location. This is related to the issue of convenience. Choose a school that is near your place to save time and effort, just make sure that the coach or the swim school offers a competitive lesson package.

4. Number of students. If you are a sociable person and preferred to learn in group, then, class
type is best for you on the other hand, you may also want to enroll in a one-on-one lesson package.

5. Actual coaching ability or teaching method. If you are not convinced about the teaching style or method, you can ask for a demo teaching or observe the on-going lesson.

6. Success and feedback of former students. One indication of a good coach or swim school is the word of mouth of the former students as well as their success in the field of swimming whether it is competitive or for fitness.
