[quote=Anonymous]Swim leasons, especially Level 1, often focus on safety things - how to pull yourself up out of the pool, how to doggie paddle to the side, how to float. I have an 8 yr old who is legal in all 4 strokes who cannot float or tread water for a decent amount of time - these are two different skill sets. My kids both took weekly lessons - County group lessons, county private lessons, weekly small group at Goldfish, private with a lifeguard at our pool. The thing that finally clicked was daily small group lessons for 30 min, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks straight. The lessons were focused on stroke development and working towards swimming 25m of freestyle and 25m of backstroke. No floating or silly games - just swimming. [/quote]
