[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I live in North Potomac area. I don't know if there are any pre team in our area, please let me know if there are any. My kid is 7 year old, and he has taken group swimming lessons for almost 1.5 years, and he still cannot pass the level 1. He goes to summer camps for 2 years that involves daily swim/pool time for 2 years as well. I can't swim, so I don't know what is wrong with him, maybe he is scared of water going into his eyes, noses and ears. He wears googles. [/quote]

While it could be anxiety holding him back, the fact that he has gotten into the pool repeatedly over the years makes me suspect there’s more to it. My son has motor planning deficits. We tried swimming for many years and he simply couldn’t pick it up in group lessons. We finally used a private instructor at the Rockville Swim Center who was very patient and very hands on. We spent years and had to adjust our expectations, but eventually he swam. He never developed a perfect stroke but it was good enough. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name. [/quote]
