[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old will be new to winter swim this year. We have an opportunity to join a team with great coaches for the young ones but I worry the water is too cold for my kid based on how they have acted on semi-cold days this summer. I don’t want swim practice to become something they dread.

Alternatively we could join a team that practices at a pool with warmer water and supplement with occasional private lessons if it seems that stroke instruction is lacking. Can private lessons compensate for the coaching possibly not being as great? And how does one arrange private lessons? If I know someone who does private lessons can I have them just meet us [b]at a rec center or gym[/b] where we are members to do it? I want to make sure we could actually do private lessons if needed before choosing this alternative.[/quote]

I'll defer to others on the other pieces of your question, but on this check first about the requirements of the facility.  We are in Arlington and only coaches who work through the county, pay for insurance and so on can give private lessons in the county-owned facilities.  Before you choose this route, ask the management of your local rec center or gym what their rules are.[/quote]
