The 80/20 rule means spending roughly 80% of training at low intensity and 20% at high intensity.

• The 80% portion focuses on rhythm, stroke refinement, and steady breathing.
• The 20% portion pushes your heart rate up, building speed and power.
• Too much hard work leads to fatigue; too little slows progress.

Coaches apply this ratio across a training week or month, not every single session.

Remember: consistent low-intensity work builds the foundation; targeted intensity sharpens speed.

The average price for a swimming lesson in Barking is around £50/h.

This price can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability: complete beginner, returning swimmer, or stroke refinement
• The tutor's background, ASA certification level, and years of coaching
• The format you choose: one-off sessions, monthly plans, or crash courses
• Location of lessons: public facility, private hire, or outdoor setting

Block bookings can save money and help build momentum between sessions.

A first taster session is common, letting you assess the teaching style at no cost.

Most experts recommend starting formal lessons around age 3 to 4.

• These early classes are about splashing, floating, and building confidence.
• At this stage, children learn to kick, blow bubbles, and hold the pool edge.
• By age 5 or 6, many children swim a full width with a recognisable front crawl.

Signs of readiness include comfort in water, willingness to follow directions, and physical coordination.

The key message: early water exposure builds confidence, and formal instruction works best once coordination develops.
