Please provide enough practice for our children to adapt well to swimming lessons and feel motivated.
It can be challenging to maintain the smooth operation of a program with only one practice session per week
Following the TRA Learn to Swim practice plan is recommended to make sufficient progress.

5 - 7 years old: More than 2 times a week
8 - 9 years old: More 2-3 times a week
11+ years old: More 3-4 times a week
Don’t lose sight of your Long-term Athlete Development plan in exchange for short-term success for young swimmers.
