Due to illness we had to take a long break in the online swimming course, do we have to start all over again? Will what has been learnt so far be completely forgotten?

In short, in our experience, children do not “unlearn” what they have learnt, usually just a little practice is missing. The muscles’ memory of movements is not forgotten – it is necessary to recall and practice what has been learnt before. That’s why it makes sense to start over. This way your child can regain confidence in what he/she has learnt, gets confidence and new motivation and so the course units will certainly be completed more quickly than the first time around.
