[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW and I are both off on the summer. My DW also used to be a swim instructor ( any and me type lessons) at a local rec center. From the time our DS was going on a year old we were at the community pool almost every day throughout the summer. Actually, at that time my DW was working summers so I took him. Anyhow, we couldn’t keep him out of the water and by the time he was three he was swimming the length of the pool. We kept him out of swim team because the community team where we lived was quite competitive and high pressure. When he was 8 we moved and he joined the team at our local swim club.  [/quote]

How is this helpful in any way? Should OP suddenly get remarried so she also has a DW who used to be a swim instructor?[/quote]

Sorry. I answered one of the questions:  How did your kid learn to swim/prepare to be on swim team? [/quote]

New poster: you did.  But it was clear the OP was seeking useful tips on how to get her kid swimming better, not just chit chatting about any realm of possibility ways to teach a kid to swim.

It’s like: I owe a lot of back taxes. I need ideas how to pay it off. What worked for you?

Answer: My mom’s cousin worked at the IRS and helped get us out of the debt by finding a loophole that only applies to us.

Right. I get it.

My advice is talk to the coaches and see if any of them do private lessons at your pool. Coaches at ours seem to be doing 1:1 lessons a lot. 
How old is your child, OP?
