[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should sign up for summer swim. I think you’ll be surprised how fast your kid improves once they’re in the pool every day with a team.

Also, keep in mind that swim coaches know this. The kid has to be able to swim the stroke beforehand, but they build up endurance incredibly fast once swim team starts.

The requirement is kids have to be able to swim one 25 meter lap in 60 seconds. This is very very slow.

They divide up the kids based on ability so there’s a fast lane, medium and slow. Just sign up[/quote]

I agree with this. You’d be surprised how much other swimmer can motivate your child to complete their laps. And once your child does it 1-2x, they know they can do it every time. Sign him/her up and be amazed by the growth![/quote]

We definitely want to sign her up, just want to make sure they don't turn her away because she can't quite make it across the pool yet!  (We're planning to do it at one of the county pools, like Long Branch or Glenmont, so there's no pre-team or anything like that.)

Thanks for all the advice.  I think we will sign her up for the Youth 4 county group lessons-- hopefully that will be enough to get her there, if not we'll maybe try some family pool trips later in the spring and get her practicing that way.  [/quote]
