[quote=Anonymous]We only had success doing it with swim lessons/mini swim team but the way they did it on his mini/developmental swim team was to basically practice streamline back and forth across the pool kicking, get that streamline down really well. Then from the streamline you add in the arm movement once you have that. Seemed to work well. It takes a lot of repetition though so I think can be a bit hard to do as a parent because they just don’t tolerate instruction like that from a parent for that long. But some kids might! What worked for us was getting a summer sitter at age 5 and doing the local swim team that has a “mini” team. It was basically lessons daily for 5 weeks for the cost of swim team (like $150). Still not easy for sure, I totally agree with you the lessons are a PAIN. For me this at least meant progress was quick instead of like weekly lessons all year which pains me [/quote]
