[quote=Anonymous]I'd also be wondering about the productivity of the coaching relationship that OP's DC is in.  It may be that the coach doesn't communicate the changes needed in a way that DC can understand and implement, or that DC is the kind of learner who has trouble taking corrections on board right away, or even that DC forgets what is being changed when they go off to club practice and just sinks back into the same habits.

Is the coach giving DC one or two clear 'deliverables' to work on each week in club swim and then show off again at the start of the next lesson?  Can DC summarize in conversation what the coach is aiming at and how DC tries to accomplish those things?  Does the coach feel that DC is continuing to make the same mistakes over and over again?  Does DC's lane coach at club swim know what DC is working on in stroke lessons and reinforce?

If DC is a receptive student with good verbal and muscle memory and is still not making progress, I would really try to find a different (private) coach.  Getting legal in a given swim stroke shouldn't become a vast, intimidating barrier. [/quote]
