[quote=Anonymous]DS is 8. He has done 2 years of group lessons and he still can't swim. He is still doing group lesson 45 min/week plus starts taking private 1:1 instruction 30 min/week. The instructor says he floats pretty well, bad at kicking, and back stroke is not that bad. She also mentions that he has a lot to work on breathing and others.

Adding private lesson, we hope that increases his chance to learn how to swim & possibly join a swim team or pre swim team one day for summertime only just for experiences if he can ever make it. He loves pool time. His summer camp has pool time daily but he just plays in it. We try to go to pool once a week but he just plays in the pool. He is comfortable at 3.5 ft water depth (but not 4 ft) because he is 53 inches tall. We are not there yet, but can someone share what possible summer pre swim or swim teams option can we look into in montgomery county once he makes enough progress? Are those like summer camps that anyone can sign up or need to be auditioned/invited? Any tips for his swim progress is welcomed as well, thanks. [/quote]
