Who Benefits from an Online Swimming Course?
Online swimming courses are particularly useful for:
- Preschool and early elementary age children (ages 3 to 8)
- Swim instruction beginners
- Small children with separation anxiety or limited communication skills
- Anxious learners with an aversion to water, particularly following a traumatic incident
- People precluded from traditional swim school lessons due to inconvenient locations or lesson times
"I would recommend the Preschool-Elementary Swimming online tutorial program for beginner swimmers as well as anyone who is thinking about teaching beginning swimming."
