My kids take complimentary classes at the Goldfish Swim School to learn and tell you about Swimming Progress Report Week

 “Your son did an amazing job today!”

The swim instructor smiled as my son climbed out of the pool and gave me a wet hug, 

“He still has to work on his rollovers, but otherwise, he is doing great!”

He handed me a big rectangular card,

“Here is your progress report card!”

I glanced at the blue card with an orange goldfish on it, and I pushed my son wrapped in a towel toward the shower,

“See you next week!“

A week later I found the Report Cart in my bag while looking for a phone charger and took a close look at it

My son loves water! He first became a student of the Goldfish Swim School when he was six months old. Four years later, trips to the Goldfish is still a highlight of his week.

How about swimming progress?

My four-year-old boy loves swimming as much as he loves goofing around in the water. He usually is the youngest in his class yet more fearless at trying new swimming skills.

The Swimming Progress Report Week takes place every twelve weeks. This is the week when swim coaches review every student’s progress and create progress report cards. Next week they will hand them out to the parents.

What does your report card say?

As you can imagine, the progress report card tells you more about your child’s progress in the class. It’s a great time to talk to your swimmer about his most and least favorite things to do in the water. Challenging.

For example, Butterfly and Breaststroke and the toughest to master for the kids. If this is what your kiddo has to work on, consider practicing at home. Check out this fun tutorial below.

Graduation Ribbon

The best progress report card is the one that comes with a ribbon. The ribbon taped to the card makes me do a happy dance as it means, time to move onto the next level!

Right now my son is mastering rollovers before he can graduate to the Glider 2 level.

Is this the only time my child can advance to the new level?

Yes! I recently learned that I don’t have to wait for the progress report week to get a graduation ribbon. Parents know best! If you feel that your child is ready to graduate onto the next level, talk to the reception desk. You can ask for skill evaluation if you think that your child might be ready for a more challenging class.

Do you have a Goldfish Swim School near you? Stop by and ask them for a tour, come for a family swim or get a free trial class! It is a fun way to introduce your child or daughter to a fantastic world of swimming.
