Family members who do not take a bath every week are often very enthusiastic
Can I come along sometime?' they ask. And who are you to refuse that? There is nothing wrong with generously giving up your place to someone else every now and then and even getting a good hour for yourself as a gift. However? Moreover, the swimming with Lifeguard Recertification lesson – if you are there – suddenly seems to be going much better. Win win!
You're not doing this for nothing
Really, such a swimming certificate does not remove all dangers. But the fact that your child will soon be water-free and can manage quite well in the water (both head below and head above) is worth a lot. That you don't have to splash in the water for every fart, but you can watch them play nicely from the side. Really, that diploma has countless advantages!
It can be very nice with the other parents
You are all in the same boat and have children of the same age. If you don't feel like going zen for a while, you can also have a chat with your neighbor. There is also a good chance that you will still be sitting next to each other in the coming year, if your children are a bit equal.
That incredibly proud feeling when your child can go on to the next bath
For real. When May was allowed to go to swimming lessons for the first time, she started in the water-free pool. Within half a lesson she seemed to have mastered everything – but well, you sit on the side as a layman and don't know whether the teacher sees it that way. But sure enough, suddenly the line went up and the lifeguard consulted with that of the next bath whether she could participate in bath 1. A lesson that takes an average of six weeks, completed within twenty minutes. And Ro and me? We had a (slightly smug) smile from ear to ear that wouldn't go away for the rest of the day.
Swimming lessons are a good reason to go swimming more often yourself
Well, you got to love it. For example, I like swimming laps, but hanging around a bit aimlessly in the pool is a bit less. Still, those swimming lessons are a good reason to take your bathing suit out of the dust again. Maybe you can practice for the backstroke right away and your kids will love to show them what they can do now.
Swimming lessons are a great reason to eat easily
Are you usually responsible for cooking? After swimming lessons it is very nice to:
- To ask if your husband cooks something
- Get some fries on the way
Something very easy to eat, such as oven buns with frankfurters, poffertjes from a bag or pasta with spinach (if you still want to make something healthy) with Lifeguard Certification USA.
Disadvantages of the swimming lesson
The entire process from swimming lessons to swimming diploma is painfully slow
I'm not sure how it used to be, but instinctively you were done fairly quickly with diploma A. B took longer, of course, but it was more manageable as parents because of those interim milestones. I think. Now you spend an average of more than a year waiting at the edge of the swimming pool or in the canteen. Every week your child bravely plows through the swimming water and every week you hope for the liberating message that they can continue to the next bath. With five baths in one to one and a half years, you can imagine that unfortunately you only have few jubilant moments.
Swimming pools are hot
In some pools they keep the parents out (for understandable reasons, by the way), but with us you can sit on the side every week. That is somewhere really nice, as you can read above, but at the same time also stuffy. Logical, because you don't want your angel to shiver from the cold if he or she has to stand on the edge in a wet bathing suit. But it can be useful to only wear a camisole. Even if the icicles hang outside from the gutter.
You sit in an uncomfortable chair
Just like your child has to make swimming kilometers week in and week out for over a year, so you sit week in and week out on an uncomfortable plastic garden chair along the edge. That's pretty good, the first few minutes. But after 45 minutes you are grateful that you can get up again!
