| 1. SAFETY.
There is no such thing as being water safe. Swim lessons
should never replace constant adult supervision. We believe
that swim lessons are one component to keeping your child “water
safer.”
2. FUN! Having fun is crucial
to a child’s learning process because it keeps them
open to creative ideas and new experiences. This is why Silver
Bear makes fun the main ingredient in all of our lessons.
3. STRUCTURE. We organize our
lessons by skill and age. Once we assess a student’s
ability we assign them to a Bear Level (Baby Bears, Teddy
Bears, Panda Bears, Koala Bears, Polar Bears, Black Bears
and Silver Bears).
4. MOVEMENT. Children are gross
motor creatures and constant movement helps them learn more
readily and stay engaged. Our students keep moving all lesson
long which is good for their physical fitness and keeps them
focused and excited.
5. DRILLING. You will find
lots of repetition through the use of drills in our lessons.
Children respond best to sequential patterns because they
know what to expect – therefore they spend energy on
learning, not wondering what will happen next. |
