[quote=Anonymous]Both private swim instructor & group swim instructor mention to me that DS's kick is bad. His lower body is sinking and it is wrong to bend his knee while kicking. He has mild low muscle tone with weak core. How could I as a parent help to improve his kicking form? DS tells me that that his legs are weak. Anything that I could do? Swimming and soccer are his favorite sports even though he is not good at both. The private swim instructor is trying to change his kicking form over next 2 months (is that a waste of money?) , but it is difficult for him to change out of his habit or maybe his physical limitation. He is seeing weekly OT therapist for other reason. I don't think therapist can help. I am wondering if he should do squat at home to strength his lower body? He is 9. [/quote]
