That having been said, even the most experienced swim teacher who has had a student for multiple years may invariably run into a plateau of sorts. It might not even be noticeable. It could be that one thing holding them back from their next ribbon....like diving or climbing out of the pool.
Enter the substitute.
Students can learn more from a variety of teaching personalities |
Our staff can help make a substitute something to celebrate! |
On more than one occasion, I've come back from a day off and found that my students learned something new from their substitute! It's not unusual that they suddenly break through a barrier with a substitute because perhaps the student/teacher relationship had gotten stuck in a rut, or perhaps another teachers perspective simply saw something I'd been missing.
So, when you learn that your child has a substitute at swim class...celebrate! I guarantee they will learn something new.
