More tips

Don't eat or drink a lot directly before a swimming lesson as you may get stomach cramps or be sick.
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive before your lesson. This will allow you to be calm and not rushed. You can also go to the toilet beforehand if you need to.
Please be on time, this will help the teacher and other students.
NEVER get in the water unless your instructor says so.
DO NOT swim if you have had diarrhoea within the past 2 weeks.
