[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if the goal is being able to swim, a rec center will get them there too. If the goal is club swim, a rec center followed by stroke school will get them there. If the goal is summer swim, the pool will end up teaching them how to swim as long as the meet the minimum standard for 6 year olds. I'd sure there is some outcome where goldfish is better, but for the majority of people it's an unnecessary expense [/quote] I really disagree with this. Swimming is the one activity where I push and start them young. Swim team is too large to teach them. I’ve been happy with Swim Labs. [/quote] my kids are on a very large summer swim team. They did the toddler rec programs and joined the team when they were 6 and learned that way. They do club swim now [/quote] My kids would never have been able to meet the minimum standard to join without swim lessons. My 7 year old still can’t. I don’t think your advice applies to most/many kids. [/quote]
