That was what I was worried about. It is close to us. However, the kids I saw that swim there just seemed like they should have better technique for year round swimmers.

Most kids on year round team don't have great stroke in less they are in private lessons. Most of the coaches are just ok, at best, and stand on the side telling the kids fix this with out showing, so none really catch on and are just doing endurance. If you want good technique, supplement with private lessons.

not for all programs. Most clubs have option from 2 days/week to 5 days per week. The more days the more $. Obviously if you sign up for a 4 day a week program and only go twice a week then yes, you are wasting a lot of money. But most clubs offer 2 days week.

Can you tell me which clubs offer 2-day a week programs? The ones I checked with only offer 3-4 days at this age.

Any recommendations for where to look for good private lessons to improve technique?
