Parents of Newmarket/Aurora: what do you wish was better about baby/toddler swim lessons?
I’m a parent in the area doing some research before potentially getting certified as a swim instructor.
I’m not selling anything and don’t have a program yet—just trying to understand what local parents actually want from swim lessons for babies and young kids (roughly 4 months to 4 years old).
If you’ve done parent-and-tot or toddler swim classes, I’d really appreciate your honest input:
What did you like most about the experience?
What frustrated you or felt “missing”?
How easy was it to get a spot / schedule classes?
Did you feel your child was actually progressing?
What would an “ideal” swim class look like for your family?
Even short answers are helpful.
Thanks in advance—this is just research to understand if there’s a gap in local programs and what matters most to parents.
If you’ve had both public (town) and private lessons, I’d especially love to hear how they compared.
