Within the class there will be a considerable variation in
the amount of confidence displayed by the swimmer.

• The swimmers goals;
• Individual progress. Each swimmer needs to progress
at their own rate;

• Individual attention. All swimmers will expect to be given
personal attention;
• All adults must feel a sense of achievement; and
• Positive encouragement and positive feedback is needed.
