F.A.Q.'s and about Pete

General Information Concerning Swimming Lessons

LESSONS HELD REGARDLESS OF WEATHER

Q:
What if my child cries and says that he/she does not want to swim?

A:
Do not ask your child to make that type of choice. You, the parent or guardian, know what is best for the child. You do not ask if they want to go to school or to the doctor. Similarly, swimming is a life skill, and a very necessary one.

Please note:

  • Lessons are ten days
    Week 1 is Monday - Friday
    Week 2 is Monday - Friday
  • The end product is a safe swimmer for the rest of his or her life. 
  • Allow 20 minutes for your lesson, although Pete determines when a particular session is over.
  • Continuity is a key to success. It is helpful if the student is brought to the class by the same person each day, although if that is not possible the end result will be the same: A SWIMMER.
  • A swimsuit and a towel are required for the student and the bringer. NO goggles or floatation devices.
  • Depending on several factors such as age and compliance, your child may or may not cry initially. Generally, the older the student, the less likely they will respond with vocal MANIPULATION in the form of crying.
  • Your child will learn to swim within ten lessons. Some learn faster than others and some swim better than others. Most will be swimming in 3 or 4 days and some the first or second lesson. DO NOT compare your child’s ability in any area of education, least of all swimming.
  • Payment is made online with a Mastercard or a Visa credit or debit card. Enrollment requires $190 payment and on the first day of class the remaining $ 190 payment is charged.
    A swimmer is the GUARANTEED result.
  • Photographs and video are permitted.

 

About Me

I have spent most of his time coaching both boys and girls programs in gymnastics and working with students from 18 months old to adults. I am dedicated to teaching children the life skill of swimming. I serve the L.A. , Orange and Riverside counties, bringing all my experience from over 20 years of working with children. I believe this method is the most effective and valuable swim program available and is worthy of my greatest efforts to provide this life skill to as many children and their parents as possible.
