[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is at the youth advanced level I would recommend a program like Fins. My kid did both Fins and the county program before they started swimming club and Fins was by far the better of the 2.[/quote]

Hmm, thanks.  Can you say more about the differences between what they do in FINS vs the county advanced lessons?

(FINS looks more logistically challenging for us but we might be able to swing it... but the beginner "Seahorses" level seems a little below her skills so I don't know if it would be challenging enough, but she's definitely not ready for the next level/intermediate because she doesn't know all 4 strokes.)[/quote]

DP but I have a seahorse at Fins. They have the seahorse group in two lanes separated by ability. One group spends more time on kickboards, the other does a lot of lap swimming. IMO they're not great about teaching the strokes. They just have the kids kind of wing it across the pool for the strokes they don't know. (Butterfly, breaststroke.) They also spend what feels like a disproportionate amount of time on freestyle but they don't really make corrections. It's ok but there must be a better program?[/quote]
