[quote=Anonymous]My 5 yr old passed the patch test a few weeks ago, he did a few private lessons to get him sort of doing freestyle. He made a lot of improvement earlier in the summer with two weeks of daily lessons (couldn’t swim at start of summer), he doesn’t like to listen to us but loves the high school/college kid instructors haha.

We aren’t doing any lessons this fall term to get used to kinder, but maybe will do a weekly lesson in spring.

Doing pre team/minis in summer would be a logistical hassle but it seems like mini = 7-8 weeks of daily swim lessons would probably help him a lot given that he does well with some structured instruction and then just being told to practice besides someone other than us. Would they teach some stroke development?

Other option is to take it easy next summer with maybe private lessons a few times a week and do minis or regular team in summer 2025. I don’t know if he will get into it enough to want to do club (though he does really like it) or winter later, but it’d be great from him to get good instruction/stroke development early on so he can enjoy swimming as an adult regardless.[/quote]
