FAQ

Why do families choose Dolfin Swim School over other facilities?

Dolfin Swim School is a family owned business with the owner intricately involved in every aspect of the business. It is not a big corporate business where you will be just another number. We know our families because we are working together as a team to instill the love of water and the necessary skill acquisition together. Our staff, from our office manager to the Instructors, are passionate about giving each swimmer and his/her family the personalized attention you would want and come to expect. Our Dolfin Swim School progression of skills is developmentally appropriate and effectively taught to each swimmer so that they can learn the strokes right the first time and grow to be proficient swimmers for a lifetime.

How can a parent help their swimmers learn their skills?

Dolfin Swim School is committed to personally giving homework to each swimmer every class to practice either in the bathtub, on the floor, or in front of a mirror. If the parent, swimmer, and Instructor all work together as a team to lay down the muscle memory necessary for skill acquisition, the swimmer will advance into higher levels faster.

What do I do if my swimmer cries during class?

First, when you register for one of our swimming classes, start talking to your swimmer about how much fun you and your family will have playing together at the beach, the pool, or going to the lake when the weather is warmer. Just starting that positive verbage and excitement BEFORE coming to class will excite your swimmer and start him out on a path of less resistance. While changing your swimmer, continue that same “Oh boy, this will be so much fun!!” attitude. When class starts, hand your swimmer to the Instructor and turn to leave with a smile.

Ignore your swimmer if he cries and don’t make eye contact with him. If he cries a lot, sneak away so he can’t see you. Return at the end of class with a lot of praise and positive verbage.

We can give our parents a pdf about “How to Help the Resistant Swimmer”. Ask for that if your swimmer is crying incessantly.

What can I expect from a session of swim lessons?

Dolfin Swim School wants your swimmers to SHINE! We have been able to train up our swimmers into a new level of swimming each session or two, depending on the age of your swimmer and their beginning comfort level in the water.

Dolfin Swim School teaches a very technical skill set, though. Therefore, we will not pass a swimmer’s skill until he masters that skill repetitively and with confidence. We strive to have championship swimmers by the time they are in our upper levels of swimming. Many of our swimmers go on to compete on our summer league swim team- the Dallas Dolfins. They have a blast and win many ribbons!!
