The Power of Bubbles Did you know that introducing young babies and children to the practice of blowing bubbles in the pool in their early swim classes makes a massive difference in their ability to become independent swimmers? Incorporating bubbles into their swim routine early on helps children develop the essential breathing and buoyancy skills for swimming. It builds their confidence and provides opportunities for experimentation and exploration on their own terms. This helps them feel comfortable in the water and sets the stage for later swimming skills, such as developing streamlined body positions essential for independent swimming. One small step always leads to the more significant steps - the more advanced skills needed for all swim strokes. We should always appreciate the Power of Bubbles in our swim classes. Bubbles are a gateway to success. #swimminglessons #traumfreesubmersions #childdevelopment #swimmngteacher #upskilling

📣 Revolutionizing swimming education: Why #kids shouldn’t start learning in Olympic-Sized pools!!! As someone passionate about teaching #swimming, I’m always surprised to see so many places starting children’s swimming lessons in semi-Olympic or Olympic-sized pools. ❌ It’s like taking kids to play soccer on a World Cup field for their very first practice! ❌ ✅ Learning to swim should be a progressive and safe journey, where every step builds confidence and self-control in the water. 🏊♀️ ✅ At BEABA INTERNATIONAL, we firmly believe that swimming education should be adapted to meet the needs of each beginner swimmer. An Olympic pool is perfect for skilled #swimmers and #athletes, but it’s far from ideal for children or beginners. In these large pools, children often lose their footing and sense of space, leading to fear and panic—a method that’s outdated and ineffective for building true water confidence. ❌ ✅ Our approach relies on an innovative environment: adjustable-depth pools that allow us to set the depth according to each student’s level and comfort. This gradual approach helps swimmers transition from a #terrestrial body to an #aquatic body across three learning depths, adjusted to their pace. This smooth progression helps them establish a genuine trust in the water and develop solid swimming skills. ✅ Learning to swim is far more than simply acquiring techniques; it’s a process that requires time, patience, and most importantly, a safe, personalized environment. That’s why we prioritize small groups and close supervision to ensure quality learning. ✅ For the #safety and #wellbeing of children, let’s stop plunging them into Olympic-sized pools and instead choose tailored spaces that promote their progress and enjoyment in the #water. #swimmingeducation #drownprevention #BEABAmethod #learntoswim #safetyfirst #personalizedlearning #waterconfidence #progressiveswimming #childdevelopment #innovativelearning #swimskills #aquaticsafety

From Non-Swimmers to a Competitive Swimmer in the Family! 🏅🌊 Neither my husband nor I knew how to swim, which is why we prioritized swimming lessons for our son early on.
