Understanding Nerve Pain. Pain is supposed to be a warning. When your hand gets too close to a stove, the nerves send a pain signal to the brain -- and you pull back before you burn yourself. But if you have nerve damage, that system isn't working. Damaged nerves may send false signals -- and you feel real pain, often without a cause.
The kids that are the most fun to work with are the ones that like a challenge. Challenge them to swim from the wall to the ladder, and if their feet touch the ground, they have to start over. After theyâve done that, have them try again, except a little bit further.
Age of the Child. The age of the child determines how quickly you can teach a child to swim. Because a child's motor skills, or what the child is capable of in terms of their development, will play a critical role in the student's progress. How quickly a child learns any sport skill is limited by their motor skill development.
