[quote=Anonymous]For new 8 and unders at our pool they have to demonstrate at least a basic proficiency in both free and back. Not necessarily pretty, but at least legal and comfortable getting across the pool. Kids who aren't ready are referred to the summer swim lesson program. We have a mini or pre-team that is mostly 5-6yr olds. They work on strengthening those strokes with the goal of swimming in the last B meet of the year, but again they are starting with kids who have basic swim skills. Kids will improve over the summer just by being in the water every day but kids who want to gain solid proficiency in the harder strokes take lessons on the side. There are too many kids and the season is too short to expect a swim team to be a lessons program.[/quote]
