Tell the child that you know that they can do the things that the instructor is asking them to try. Parents are welcome to come to the pool prior to the first day of class, so the environment will be familiar. Be persistent and don\u2019t give up! Crying is usually toughest on the parent.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"My child does not seem to be learning and progressing in the lessons as quickly as some of the other children. Why is this?\" tab_id=\"faq2\"][vc_column_text]Children will progress at their own pace, and usually not at the pace of the parent or of other children in the class. Children sometimes reach developmental plateaus due to body type, a growth spurt, muscle development or the child\u2019s motivation to be in the class. Usually a little additional growth will solve the problem. We encourage both the parent and the child to be patient and to spend some time enjoying the skills that the child has already mastered.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Sometimes it seems like the instructor is playing a lot of silly games in the class. Why is this?\" tab_id=\"faq3\"][vc_column_text]Children learn through play and since the City of Pasadena has several pools with a depth of 1 foot it allows instructors to teach toddlers a number of skills playing games. Games and songs are used to reinforce skills taught to the children.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"How many instructors are there per student for group lessons?\" tab_id=\"faq4\"][vc_column_text css=\"\"]Blair High School Pool: 1 instructor per 6 students<br \/>\nHonorable John J.
