[quote=Anonymous]We've been very happy with the swim lessons my DS has been doing at our local pool. The classes are taught by active lifeguards, and overall they have been GREAT. They've even been helping teach him outside of class time, should the situation allow if we're just at the pool regularly.

My only concern is that the program requires ALL children 4 and under, regardless of whether or not they are potty trained, to wear a swim diaper. We didn't find out about this requirement until after the second day of classes (it wasn't brought up at first).

My son has been trained for well over a year, and hasn't had any kind of an incident in or around a pool that I can remember, ever. Even when he was a younger toddler.

I'm not asking that my son get special treatment, I realize it's a rule that applies to everyone equally. But am I wrong in thinking that it's a bit stupid to not consider PT status with the 'older' kids in enforcing this rule..?

My son is actually closer to being FIVE now (in late August), and it feels utterly bizzare to be buying him the largest size of swim diapers when they're completely unnessecary.
