Various sources of information were gathered and

businesses that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers

and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Somerville area a vibrant and

vital place to live.

The Somerville Small Business Excellence Awards was established to reward the best of small

businesses in Somerville. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade

groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups. Our

mission is to award the small business community’s contributions to the U.S. economy.


HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS TO LOVE LESSONS

If your child is feeling nervous about swim lessons—or they just plain aren’t

liking them, you may feel frustrated, but don’t despair, there are ways to help

and encourage your child to love swim lessons!

1. Talk to your child about lessons and swimming before and after:

Do some problem solving to see what’s making them not want to get in

the water. Are they afraid? Do they think the water is too cold? Or do they

just not like being away from mom or dad? The more you talk about why

your child is feeling that way, the better the instructors and you can talk

about how to handle it.

2. Don’t minimize fear:

Like with anything, you should not

pretend that a fear does not exist

(if that is the reason) and invalidate

your child’s feelings. You can work on (and through) fears with

patience and consistency, but if they are not recognized, it can only

make things worse!

3. Don’t overdramatize or draw attention to your child’s worries:

Although you should take any fear seriously, overreacting can fuel it.

The way you act and phrase things can really make a difference in building confidence, like saying “Sarah is

still working on putting her face in the water” instead of “Sarah is terrified of going under the water.”

4. Praise and encourage your child when they try to overcome the fear:

Express confidence that they will they will eventually succeed.

Positive reinforcement will help encourage behaviors. The happier and

more positive experience that they have, the more they will want to

come back.

5. Practice with your child:

Spending time with your child in the water and have them show you

everything they have learned can be a fun way to positively frame

swim lessons. This can also be time to work on silly fun times in the

water (if there is any fear). Working and practicing skills that are difficult

can make progress faster.

6. Be consistent with lessons and make it a habit:

The more consistent lessons are, the more progress your child will

make and the more they will become accustomed to the rhythm of lessons (and the water as well)! You can’t

expect a child to overcome fear or become an expert swimmer from one lesson (or 1 session), so if you want

them to make progress, commit to swim lessons.

7. Have a long view and be realistic:

Producing results and swimming progress takes time and every child is different. You cannot gauge your

child’s progress on that of other kids. Every small step in minimizing fear and progressing skills is a win, and

should be celebrated!

If your child is prone to the shivers even in our heated

small pool then a smart investment may be a warmer

option to a swimsuit. Thermal shirts or wetsuits can be

worn with bathing suit to increase coverage and body

heat. Trust us, a quality neoprene wetsuit can make a

world of difference. However, before buying one, there

are a few things you should look for when you’re in the

market for a wet suit or thermal shirt.

Thickness: Wetsuits for children come in

thicknesses of anywhere from 2mm to 6.5mm.

Higher thicknesses give more warmth but reduces

mobility, making swimming (especially in a lesson

setting) much more difficult. The sweet spot for

pools and beaches is around 2-3mm. However, if

you’re going in water with temperatures around or

below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, 3-4mm thick is also

acceptable.

Type: There are three primary varieties: full suits,

farmer johns, and shorties. Shorty suits are ideal for

young swimmers, as they combine core warmth

with higher mobility. Full-length suits, which have

full arms and legs, are probably excessive for

average settings, while farmer johns (full legs and

no arms) are great for those who don’t want the

feeling of constricting sleeves or who are prone to

rashes.

Quality: Although it may be hard to judge the overall

quality, a good rule of thumb is to ensure the

material is neoprene and check the seams. If they

are well-constructed with solid thread, have no

frays, and are relatively thin (to avoid

uncomfortable chafing) then the suit will probably

be a good choice.

Fit: To have a thermal shirt or suit be effective, it is

important that it fits snugly. If it is too loose it will

not only be ineffective at keeping your child warm,

but it will also make it harder to swim. If it is too

tight, it will also restrict movement. To make sure, it

helps to go with your child to a store to test one out

or when shopping online be sure to purchase from a

retailer that allows for easy returns/exchanges.

For parents who are concerned about their children’s warmth but don’t

want to keep purchasing additional wetsuits with every growth spurt.

Adjustable shoulder straps allow for growth and ensure a snug fit. (https://
