[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son did Norman Swim last year from Sept-May. He went every Sunday for 1 hour. He really improved his endurance and was swimming many 25 meter laps at the end. He also liked being with the same group of kids, and lessons were fun — swim, kick, swim, play, practice diving, jump off diving board. My issue was that his strokes are really bad and not enough attention was paid by younger teen/college coaches to improving his stroke technique. [/quote]
My issue with Norman was that there was very little instruction.  My kids didn't seem to learn anything and, for both kids, their strokes got worse.  It was time in the pool, but not much else.

Does anyone know if Swim Farm offers more instruction?[/quote]

Swim Farm does offer privates. That may be your best bet. There’s only so much stroke mechanic work any coach can do with lanes full of swimmers.[/quote]
I think that's a pretty weak excuse.  My kids learned lots in group lessons through the county program and lots in summer swim where a coach worked with a group of 5-6 kids.  It's just lazy to call it a developmental program and not to offer instruction.[/quote]
