The Art of Swimming Skill Development: Master One Skill at a Time with Col Jones Swim Tempe

Col Jones Swim Tempe • January 15, 2024

Col Jones Swim Tempe, a community institution serving the Inner West Sydney area, has been dedicated to more than just swimming lessons for over 50 years. Our passion and commitment to delivering the highest-quality swimming education and water safety training go beyond technique, as we strive to foster an environment where children feel empowered, confident, and fully supported in their growth. One of the guiding principles of our swimming instruction involves focusing on the development of one skill at a time, ensuring a solid foundation upon which your child can build their swimming abilities.

In this article, we will delve into the importance of concentrating on one skill at a time, highlighting the benefits of this approach and demonstrating how it is seamlessly integrated into Col Jones Swim Tempe's teaching philosophy. Join us as we unravel the secrets to swimming skill development success and discover the techniques employed by our dedicated instructors that can unlock your child's full potential in the pool.

Solid Foundation: Building Confidence and Competency

The process of learning to swim involves mastering a range of essential skills, such as breath control, body positioning, and various swimming strokes. By focusing on one skill at a time, our instructors at Col Jones Swim Tempe can ensure that your child acquires a solid foundation upon which they can confidently build their swimming abilities. Our heated pools, including the Small Beginner Pool, Teaching Improver pool, and the 25-metre Lap pool, provide the perfect environment for your child to learn and progressively develop their swimming skills.

A study from the University of Southern Queensland revealed that focusing on one skill at a time contributes to better performance and learning outcomes. By providing focused instruction and ample practice for each skill individually, we can help your child acquire a thorough understanding and competency in every aspect of swimming.

One Skill at a Time: Creating Tailored Learning Experiences

At Col Jones Swim Tempe, we understand that every child is unique, learns at their own pace, and has different needs when it comes to learning to swim. By concentrating on one skill at a time, our qualified instructors can craft personalised learning experiences for each child's individual requirements and abilities.

This tailored approach allows our instructors to identify your child's strengths and areas of improvement, enabling them to provide specific guidance and feedback. Through this process, we ensure that your child's learning journey is not only efficient and effective but also enjoyable and engaging.

Reduced Overwhelm: Promoting a Sense of Achievement

Swimming encompasses a myriad of interconnected skills, and attempting to learn multiple skills simultaneously can easily overwhelm and discourage young swimmers. By adopting a one-skill-at-a-time approach, we can substantially reduce the potential for feelings of frustration, apprehension, and confusion during the learning process.

As your child focuses on and gradually masters individual skills, their efforts are rewarded with a concrete sense of achievement, thereby fostering increased motivation and self-confidence. This positive feedback loop is invaluable to maintaining your child's interest and enthusiasm for swimming, creating a lifelong love for the sport.

Streamlined Progression: Seamless Transition between Skill Levels

Our one-skill-at-a-time philosophy facilitates seamless progression through various skill levels in our swimming programs. By ensuring that each skill is thoroughly learned and practiced, we lay the groundwork for smooth transitions between basic, intermediate, and advanced swimming techniques.

The School Learn to Swim and Water Safety Program at Col Jones Swim Tempe includes 45-minute to 1-hour lessons, as well as intensive programs that run for 6 to 8 days. These programs provide students with ample opportunity to develop essential swimming skills and water safety awareness. By focusing on individual skills, we ensure that all children in Sydney have access to high-quality swimming education, regardless of their background or experience.

Environmentally Conscious Facility for a Sustainable Future

As a community institution, Col Jones Swim Tempe not only promotes exceptional swimming education but also demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our facility operates with environmental concerns in mind, adopting practices such as recycling paper hand towels, restricting water use, recycling water in toilets, and utilising energy-efficient heat pumps to lower emissions.
