These lessons assume that you will have three to five learners.
It is best to limit your group to six as a maximum; five is fine, but four is
even better. The difficulty in teaching just one child is that he becomes too
self-conscious, and that the one-to-one ratio provides too concentrated a
situation for a very young beginner; besides, who can go under the bridge (while
playing London Bridge) when there are only the two of you? If you take on a
group of four children, you are often faced with the problem of what to do when
one child is a kind of "natural," and finds all of this easy and progresses
rapidly, while the others are still refusing to get their faces in the water or
their feet off the bottom. This child serves an important function to the rest
of the group, because he shows that what you ask and demonstrate can be done by
one of them. Once the rest of the group is afloat, one or more may not only
catch up with the speedy one but may even outdo him when breathing techniques or
the back stroke are introduced. Be glad for the speedy ones; work patiently with the
slower ones.
