‘My first Swimming Lesson’ is an illustrated children’s book designed to introduce pre school children and their parents to swimming lessons.

​

It is a 'social story' familiarising children with a new experience and what they might discover at the pool and during their lesson.

​

It was developed as a joint project between our swimming school and a paediatric physiotherapist to meet the developmental needs of children beginning to swim.

​

Beautiful full page watercolour illustrations tell the story through pictures. We have one edition for each of our swim schools, so you will recognise your pool in the book! 

​

The swim school recommends reading this book to your child a number of times before lessons commence. The book can purchased at the swim school.

​

Or the swim school will loan the book for a short period to new pre school before their first lesson at no charge (if not returned within 2 weeks there will be a $10 charge).

​

Children who have read this book before starting lessons, adapt more easily to classes.
