Swimming Lessons?

Post by bcrglobal »

Little Global Jr. (3) is now starting to enjoy the pool, and get adventurous. It's time for him to get some formal training in swimming and basic water survival. Anybody got tips or suggestions? Would like to hire a professional to work with him (English or Thai) but would also be willing to do it myself if I had the right materials (Teaching outline, etc.)

So how about it, any swim teachers known about? Any training materials anybody could recommend?

Any help/advice much appreciated.

I've often seen the (Thai) instructor at Sport Villa giving one on one lessons at Sport Villa. He seems very proficient.

Hi,
I am a qualified swimming teacher, and I am in the process of starting a company so I can teach swimming, to all ages babies to adults,...I want to focus on one on one private lessons as that is what gets the mosts results,...What do you think peole in Hua Hin are willing to pay for a good teacher like myself?

The guy at sport villa is excellent, watched him for a month in November last year when he was teaching all abilities and ages, very patient and you could see the progress been made by non swimmers.

He seemed to teach mostly at weekend and evenings but I would put this down to school hours.

During the daytime he had a lot of time on his hands so im sure he would be able to teach pre school kids one to one during the day.
