The festive season often disrupts routines, but it’s also a fantastic time to reinforce your child’s swimming skills in a fun, creative way. Even when SwimEasy lessons take a break, there are plenty of opportunities to keep swimming confidence alive at your local pool or during family outings. Maintaining water confidence during the holidays doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s all about making swimming a playful and enjoyable part of your family traditions.
Why not turn swimming into a festive adventure? Encourage your child to float on their back, imagining they’re a star on a Christmas tree, or blow bubbles in the water to mimic a winter snowstorm. If your child is learning to kick, have them pretend they’re powering Santa’s sleigh through the water. These playful activities not only help retain essential water skills but also create cherished memories that you’ll look back on fondly.
Swimming doesn’t have to stop during the holidays—in fact, the break from formal lessons can be a great time to explore new ways of building confidence in the water. Whether you’re visiting a local pool or playing in the bath at home, simple, imaginative games can make all the difference. Let the pool—or even the tub—become a magical space for fun and connection this festive season.
