[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Five daily lessons will be more progress than five weeks of once a week lessons. But five daily lessons won’t make non swimmers into swimmers. [/quote]

Clustered lessons are the way to go, especially if you can't do swim lessons in the winter. And if you can get in plenty of pool time between lesson clusters, even better.

It's a big confidence builder, too. While a kid isn't going to go from non-swimmer to swimmer in 5 days, there are a bunch of skills they can accumulate in 5 days and gaining them all together like that makes them more excited and confident about swimmers.

Just make sure you are always reinforcing proper water safety so that confidence doesn't lead to taking risks. You still need to be right next to them and watching them while swimming for quite some time to come. We are on year 3 of swim lessons and I'm only just starting to contemplate letting DD swim while I watch from the deck, instead of need an adult actually in the pool with her. For the first year, not only was I in the pool with her, but always within an arms reach.[/quote]
