A great example of why you'll hear me comment on a kick, their reach, a part of the process of your childs swimming, and never on their current ability as a swimmer.

This video is from a basketball coach, that i found on a dyslexic support page, but transfers to all elements of growing children as a coach, parent, aunt or friend of a child. It's a good one, watch it.

For over a decade Carol Dweck and her team studied the effects of praise on students. This study involved a series of experiments on over 400 5th graders fro...

Remember Deepar, the nanny learning to swim so she could keep the children she minds safe around the pool. This is Deepar after 6 classes. She was a complete non swimmer before we started.

The "climbing ladder position" is drowning. This is why we teach your children to take a quick breath and put their eyes back down and keep kicking...

Summer Swim Intensive Program.

There are three programs on offer, all programs are four days and run Monday to Thursday, with the Friday as a spare day should a class be cancelled for storms etc.

ISC: 29 – 2 July (1st week of the school holidays) Suitable for beginners to Bluebottles.

ISC: 13 – 16 July (3rd week of the school holidays) Suitable for beginners to Bluebottles

St Andrews Green Valley Campus. 20 – 23 July. (4th week of the school holidays) Suitable for all levels.

The fee for a four day program is 1800 baht per swimmer.

The Swim Intensive Programs are a fantastic way to boost your swimming a level or two. My three children will be doing all three programs as it is a wonderful way to really correct and improve their technique, feel, balance, timing and performance in the water. Attending just one of the four day programs will give your child/children a wonderful boost usually equivalent to what they would learn in an 8 week, once a week, swim term.

Classes are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and start on the half hour. 30 minute classes are limited to 4 swimmers. 45 minute classes are limited to 6 children. One hour classes are limited to 8 children. Children are placed with swimmers of the same swimming level (not necessarily same age). All efforts are made to ensure siblings are in classes that run back to back, however this is not always possible. Note swimmers currently swimming this term have already been offered the opportunity to book in first, but currently no classes are booked out.

I’d like to concentrate classes between 9.00am and 1.30pm. The 12.30pmand 1pm slots at ISC (the first two camps) are reserved for swimmers who have attended the ISC In School Summer Holiday Program and would also like to take part in the Intensive Swim Program.

I am often in the pool for a whole day, and as the mother of 3 very busy children, I may take a day or two to respond to messages, but rest assured that all messages are time stamped and they will be responded to in the order in which they are received.

All programs are coached exclusively by Coach Karen Brent, in salt water chlorination system pools which are healthier for the skin, eyes and body than conventional chlorine systems.

Due to many requests private swim classes are available at 1000 baht for 30 minutes or 1800 per hour. I do not normally recommend private classes for children as they respond much better in a small class of similar aged children, however private classes do work very well for adults and teens.

Note: Sometimes special needs children need a smaller group or a class on their own; these children are charged the same fee as group classes regardless of any impact on group sizes. This has always been the case. Difficult children are always welcome and all necessary accommodations will be made to ensure a positive outcome.

Usual teacher discount rates are available. We love and respect teachers!

ALL the parents of children i train are supportive, wonderful people who just want to provide their children with the best opportunities possible. Thanks for being great. It's so much nicer working in a supportive happy environment. Again, thanks for being awesome.

Truth.

Tip of the day: If your child can swim 100 metres butterfly, without stopping, these are probably safe. If not please please please don't let your child swim in a mermaid suit. Kick is 70 - 88% of your swim acceleration, don't tie up your kids legs and send them swimming (unless they're not your favourite one...)
