Top Swimming Lessons related questions

For certain types of tasks, you may need to enquire as to what specialist licenses may be required to undertake your task as this can vary. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant swimming lessons licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

The time for each lesson and the time you need to complete the service varies. Depending on how fast you master the lessons, the frequency and duration of each session, the entire class can take a few weeks to a few months. Each session can take as little as 15 minutes to at most an hour. Practising outside your lessons under supervision can shorten the time to complete the service. 

Yes! If you run a business like a swimming school, you can hire Taskers to boost your staff. Make a post on our platform with all the essential details. Include the type of lessons you want a Tasker to teach and their desired level of experience. Potential Taskers will reply with a free quote, and then you can negotiate rates and schedules from there. Take note; you can hire Taskers to provide other lessons apart from swimming.

Yes. Make a post on Airtasker with the necessary details. Include your location, the age of your little learner, schedule and budget.

You’ll find that only the most experienced, non-judgmental, patient and friendly swimming instructors are available on Airtasker, all willing to help. 

Top Baby Swimming Lessons related questions

The equipment you should provide includes your baby’s bathing suit and their favourite toys to make them feel at ease and love the water. Some instructors may ask one or both parents to help in a session, so you may have to suit up! An ideal setup would mean having a pool or inflatable pool large enough to have your home lessons. You can schedule sessions with your instructor at a nearby facility if you don’t have a pool.

That depends on your baby’s age, as well as the frequency and duration of their sessions. Assuming that your baby has weekly half-hour sessions, babies aged 6 to 18 months can learn to swim after a year or a year-and-a-half. Children at the age of 1 and a half to 3 years old can learn to swim in a year. Meanwhile, 3-year-olds and up can learn in as little as 6 months. 

Yes, you can hire Taskers to pitch in if your swimming lessons business needs more instructors. Make sure to post a job on our platform with crucial details like the job description, experience level you want in a Tasker, location, and schedule for lessons. Potential Taskers will reply with a free quote, and you can discuss rates and other details about the job after you’ve hired them. Don’t forget; youcan employ Taskers for teaching different skills

While newborn babies can go directly into the water from birth, they shouldn’t stay in water for long. The bodies of very young babies can’t regulate their body temperature, and they risk getting an infection from the water. It’s safer for babies to learn how to swim and stay in a swimming pool when they’re at least six months old. 

Yes!! All you have to do is make a post on Airtasker. You’ll then get matched with potential Taskers close to you. Be sure to include your exact location, schedule and budget in your post. You can expect queries to your post in a few minutes, and interested Taskers will give you a free quote for their services.

You may be hard-pressed to find swimming lessons for babies under six months. Any younger than that, a baby is very vulnerable to getting infections from a swimming pool, especially those open for public use. Chlorine takes time to kill bacteria, and your baby’s immune system isn’t as strong as that of an adult. Your 3-month-old baby’s body is also inefficient in regulating their body temperature, so they can quickly feel cold in unheated pools.    

Suggested reads about Swimming Lessons

What do swimming lessons include?

Swimming lessons include all the tasks necessary for your swimming instructor to teach you, your children, and even your babies to swim safely and with confidence. These are private swimming lessons where your hired instructor can introduce first-timer swimmers of any age to water in a safe manner and ensure that the class begins on a positive note. 

They can give lessons in the shallow end of a pool to help beginners find their buoyancy, develop their confidence and get them accustomed to staying in the water. After they develop these skills, they can learn the basics. These can include proper breathing, proper arm strokes and kicking. Swimming instructors can adjust to a student’s level, from absolute beginners to more advanced swimmers.   

Baby swimming lessons 

Yes, swimming instructors can teach your baby to swim! Note that your baby must be at least 6 months old to take swimming lessons. Babies at this age tolerate colder water better and have better motor skills. Your swimming instructor can teach your baby alone, but they may ask for at least one parent to take part. 

The presence of mum or dad is essential to make sure your baby feels safe and comfortable during the lesson. The swim instructor can help your baby learn to love and enjoy the water, teach them how to float and gradually teach them how to kick and move about in the water.  

Kids swimming lessons

Your hired instructor can start your kids’ lessons by teaching your kids how to breathe underwater and how to float. These one-to-one swimming lessons can help toddlers and pre-teens enjoy the water and avoid developing a fear of it. Your swimming instructor can teach them basic swimming strokes after they’ve mastered floating and proper breathing. 

Adult swimming lessons

Swimming instructors can also teach adult students to swim. If the adult student is a beginner and has aquaphobia, some instructors can lead them to overcome their fear of water. For adult learners that are more comfortable in the water, the instructor can teach them how to float on their own or help improve their technique. They can also teach adult students essential breathing and floating, then proceed to learn swimming strokes and strategies to move through the water. 

Lessons for advanced swimmers

Some swimming instructors can teach advanced swimmers to improve if necessary. If an advanced student is a competitive swimmer, the swim instructor can test their ability by timing their laps. They can see how they can help them improve their lap times and recommend the necessary measures. This can include setting a diet and training regimen, then testing to measure improvement. This process can continue until the advanced swimmer attains their goals. Once you’ve mastered swimming, why not learn to conquer deeper waters?
