[quote=Anonymous]I am also in Burke - with 3 kids and I want them all to learn to swim for safety reasons.  Do you join a summer pool?

When DC1 was 3.5, he attended preschool at the JCCNV and you could add on a weekly swimming class during the day (and the swim class, in fact, shortened his nap time).  He took to those classes, I think in part, due to the fact that I was not present.  Someone recently joked that he would have learned to knit if it would have delayed nap time ;)  Eventually he joined the swim team at our summer pool.

We have at times also dabbled in group swim lessons for DC1 and DC2 from time to time.  At some point, I felt like we were "over" group lessons and I moved DS2 to private lessons.  Then, through our summer pool eventually he did minis and is now also on the swim team.

I now have a 3 year old DD and I would like her to learn to swim.  I think to start, I am going to pay a lifeguard at the pool to give a 30 minute weekly private lesson this summer, then go from there.  Our summer pool also offers group lessons, but they are during the work day.  I don't have a great swimming background - but from time to time, I do get in the pool with her.  At her age, I think it is mostly about getting comfortable in the water.       [/quote]
