[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our pre-team info says kids must "be able to swim unassisted the length of the pool with alternating arm stroke" and it makes the point that the team "is NOT a replacement for swim lessons." I'd venture to guess that your son needs a little more swim instruction before pre-team is a good fit. But the yelling at the kids--regardless of their level!--seems over-the-top for summer pre-team. Ours is much more low-key and celebratory of the kids' successes.[/quote] OP again. Our preteam requirements were swimming across half the pool without touching the bottom. No focus on strokes. Your requirements make more sense to me. He is also taking private lessons. I don't know what I thought preteam would be like....this just isn't it. Oh well. Lesson learned. [/quote]
