[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goldfish is actually a really good base if your kid completes all the levels. My 6 year old just finished pro 2 and as a result is legal in all 4 strokes. Swim team on top of that develops endurance.[/quote] Agree with this — Goldfish gave my kid a good base that helped with the first stages of winter swim.[/quote] I think goldfish really depends on the location and instructor. We've had a lot of young kids come to our team after "being on the swim team at goldfish" and they are not competent swimmers. OP- I definitely agree with getting some lessons this summer. Most of the coaches do them on the side, depending on the pool. Then most clubs have year round stroke mechanic programs if you just want to hone in on skills and only swim 1 day a week. After that most clubs have 2 day/week programs. [/quote]
