Everything you need to know before your first lesson.

A few things I always tell families

• Don't hold your breath. Everyone says "hold your breath!" — but real swimming means exhaling in the water. We'll learn a proper breathing pattern together.

• Kicks before arms. Most beginners shouldn't be using their arms yet — strong kicks come first.

• You're not kicking when you float. Floating is about staying still and letting the water hold you — a skill all its own.
