How to Teach Someone to Swim
Teaching others to swim can be very rewarding. A good swimming teacher should be knowledgeable about How to Teach Someone to Swim, the risks, be confident and calm. Do not rush the student into the water. Allow them to learn at their own pace, slowly acclimating to the pool. Only begin additional steps once they are comfortable with the water.
All students are different, and there is not an approach or technique that is universally required to swim successfully. Increase the student's confidence, but don't encourage recklessness.
