[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid learned at the Montgomery County indoor pool in Rockville. He was learning to swim, not getting stroke or turn lessons or anything like that, so it may not have been obvious that was happening, though.[/quote]

That's what I do but it's a fight.  When my daughter was six months old, I had some of those swim aids on her, not for life saving.  "WHISLE!!! NO NON-COAST-GUARD APPROVED whatevers., use the ones on the rack", Me: Looking at the rack of life preservers, "But she is under thirty five pounds there are no coast guard approved life preservers for kids under thirty five pounds."  Lifeguard: "I DON'T CARE.  DON'T USE THE EDUCATIONAL SWIM AIDS. Pay for a class"  The pool staff are quite antagonistic towards anyone teaching their children at any of the public pools, especially the private instructors but also the lifeguards.

I reported them to the Red Cross.  We really need to defund these places.

We joined a local pool, low and behold they provide the swim aids thick pool noodles, those barbell shaped floaties and what not, what a difference had my second kid swimming in no time.[/quote]
