Established SEEDCLUB Seed Association Original intention :

I have experienced all of these pains faced by children who swim, and I have also found the answers!

As a father who has accompanied my daughter on her swimming journey for over 9 years, I know all too well that every struggle a child faces is like a needle piercing a parent's heart.

The following scenarios are not things I imagined, but rather the detours I (and many Hong Kong parents) actually took.

The "poolside tug-of-war" that always unfolds

When it's finally time for class, the child uses all sorts of excuses to avoid it, even saying with tears in their eyes, "I don't want to go." Every time you go out, it's like a battle of wills, leaving you physically and mentally exhausted .

Every time you go out, you happily prepare your swimsuit and towel, but your child hugs his pillow and says, "My tummy hurts," or "I'm so tired today." You try everything from gentle persuasion to a combination of soft and hard tactics, but finally, in the MTR carriage, facing his red, tear-filled eyes and the stares of passersby, you can't help but scold him.

In that instant, you weren't filled with anger, but rather with deep guilt : "Am I pushing him for his own good, or am I just ruining our precious weekend?"

You begin to doubt whether insisting on him learning to swim is actually cultivating his perseverance or eroding your parent-child relationship. Looking at the wasted tuition fees and time, you feel frustrated and helpless.

Parental anxiety caused by stagnant progress

You watch as your classmates effortlessly breathe and swim to the other side, while your own child remains stagnant. The coach casually remarks, "He's just a bit slower," and your heart skips a beat...

You start comparing yourself to others without realizing it, and your heart is filled with anxiety : "Did I choose the wrong method? Or is my child really not good enough?" This worry about your child's potential and the pressure of fearing that he will fall behind others keeps you up at night.

At the poolside, you see other children swimming like little dolphins. One mother smiles and asks, "How long has your daughter been learning?" You awkwardly laugh and answer, while watching your own child still clinging to the float at the edge of the pool, afraid to let go.

After dropping your child off at home, you can't help but Google: "Why children learn to swim slowly." Your biggest worry isn't the progress, but whether your child's confidence will be eroded by repeated failures.

A coach's yell followed by a koala-like hug left him with a "childhood trauma."

The child turns pale and stiffens as soon as they get close to the water, or refuses to let go of your hand after being given slightly stern instructions by the instructor in the water. This is not just "fear," but a deep-seated terror .

Perhaps it was just because the child hesitated for a moment, that the coach shouted a urging from the other side of the pool. From that moment on, your child, like a koala, clung tightly to your leg with all their might, their lips trembling as they said, "Daddy, I don't want to swim anymore."

You look at this usually lively child, now filled with fear in his eyes. What you fear most is not that he won't learn today, but that the smell of chlorine in the pool and the coach's yelling will become negative memories he doesn't want to recall from his childhood .

What you fear most is that this unpleasant experience will plant a seed of fear in his heart, turning swimming, a sport that should be joyful, into a shadow he never wants to touch again .

Missing the "golden period" of 4 years old leads to paralysis of choice.

There are all sorts of swimming courses on the market, and the information is confusing. You spend a lot of time researching, but the more you look, the more confused you become.

You've joined several parent WhatsApp/Facebook groups. Some say that one-on-one private tutoring helps you learn faster, while others say that small group classes provide mutual support and motivation.

Swimming Club A emphasizes competition results, Swimming Club B emphasizes joyful learning, Swimming Club C is a pyramid scheme recruiting members...

Everyone says that 4-6 years old is the "golden period for early childhood education," and once missed, it can never be regained. You look at the various trial fees and course descriptions... You fear that wasting money due to your wrong choice is a minor issue compared to missing out on your child's irreversible "golden period of early childhood development" between the ages of 4 and 6. You know that a good start is crucial, but the fear of "one wrong step leading to another" makes you hesitate to make a decision, watching time slip away.

You don't need to take these detours again.

If any of the above points resonate with you, please believe that you are not alone. We will end your worries with "love and professionalism".

I have personally experienced each of these scenarios, which is why I made the decision to collaborate with Mr. Zhang Diyong, an Olympic-level coach widely recognized for his patience and compassion, and thus, I resolved to establish [the company/organization]. SEEDCLUB ( Seed Club )

Our purpose is to solve all of the above problems. We don't pursue quick results; we pursue planting "happy memories" and the confidence of "I can do it" in children's hearts.

This is a swimming introductory course co-created by experienced fathers and top coaches. We will use professionalism and empathy to ensure that your child falls in love with being in the water from day one.

This is not only about teaching swimming skills, but also about addressing parents' concerns at their source, providing children with a safe and joyful swimming experience through the right methods, and protecting their curiosity and enthusiasm for the world.
