[quote=Anonymous]Goldfish is good for introducing all four strokes but they will not help your kid become legal in them. After Pro 2 is Swim Force. The kids swim back and forth and the instructors do not stop them and correct their form when they are doing something wrong. There are too many kids for that. They just move them along. I watched my kid swim breaststroke while pulling his hands below his hips, butterfly with underwater recovery, etc. I am hoping summer swim will refine their technique and get them legal in at least one of these. Goldfish was good for building endurance, but they do not prioritize correct technique. Meanwhile kids are probably acquiring bad habits there that other coaches then have to try to break.[/quote]
