[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be really surprised if your child was actually swimming in an Olympic sized pool.  They are not that common/ not usually configured that way.   In my experience if a kid has the technique but isn’t making it across it’s a fear issue.  What causes her to stop?   Does she stand up?   Try swimming in deeper water so she can’t. (Swim right beside her so you can catch if needed).  [/quote]

It's the MLK indoor pool (with the divider in so they don't actually go the whole length, but I was eyeballing it as 1/3 the length of the entire pool if the divider wasn't there)... I thought it was Olympic size but might be wrong?

And to the PP mentioning stroke & turn, I thought they needed to be able to swim the 25 meters first in order to qualify for that?  At least for the Montgomery County one I think they do.

Thanks all!  [/quote]

You are too late for the county stroke and turn. The clinic started last October. 25m is supposedly the requirement. The truth is they take anyone. They don’t seem to turn anyone away. You could try other stroke clinics. [/quote]
