[quote=Anonymous]I don't mean laps, but at what age could your child float independently and maybe swim the width of a 4-lane pool? And what did you do to help them get there? Group lessons/private lessons? How may days a week? For how long? For context, DD started with twice a week semi-private swim lessons last summer at out neighborhood pool (she was almost 3yo.) I am not sure that the lessons were that helpful, but we stuck with them. In the the fall, we enrolled her in once-a-week group lessons (there is only one other child in her class, so it's basically semi-private). She definitely learned useful skills there, like getting in an out of the pool, but as far as I can tell, she is nowhere close to swimming. She is 3.5 now and I am just wondering what my expectations should be. My parents have a pool, which is why we are so focused on swimming. TYIA[/quote]
