[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if the goal is being able to swim, a rec center will get them there too. If the goal is club swim, a rec center followed by stroke school will get them there. If the goal is summer swim, the pool will end up teaching them how to swim as long as the meet the minimum standard for 6 year olds. I'd sure there is some outcome where goldfish is better, but for the majority of people it's an unnecessary expense [/quote]
I really disagree with this. Swimming is the one activity where I push and start them young. Swim team is too large to teach them. 
I’ve been happy with Swim Labs. [/quote]

my kids are on a very large summer swim team. They did the toddler rec programs and joined the team when they were 6 and learned that way. They do club swim now [/quote]
My kids would never have been able to meet the minimum standard to join without swim lessons. My 7 year old still can’t. I don’t think your advice applies to most/many kids. [/quote]

our minimum is an unassisted 25 meter swim. A rec center will get a 6 year old to that point. We're a large NVSL team in division 2 [/quote]
I can tell you’re the same poster because you don’t use capital letters. Just because your child was able to, it doesn’t mean ALL children will be able to. I posted swim lessons were essential for MY CHILD and that is my opinion. Please stop telling me otherwise. I don’t care what division your team was. I have an older child who swam JOs AFTER she took swim lessons.  I am not an inexperienced swim parent. Many toddlers and young children are fearful of the water. [/quote]
