[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think he just has to swim across the pool to get in. Doggy paddling is what I'm really looking for at this point. Yes the jr swim team is definitely mostly lessons.

We really [b]are only able to go to the pool once a week in winter[/b], but when the pools open in May we go daily. I just don't want him to miss out and have to sit with me all summer while the others swim. [/quote]

IMO/experience, if this is the case and you aren't able to prioritize this beyond 1x/wk for 30-60 minutes he's not going to progress to where you want him to be this summer.  There is no magic short-cut here - he needs more exposure than you have made time for.

2 years ago I was where you are, more or less, but we were doing group lessons year round because, like you I wanted to set them up to be able to participate in swim team.  Fast forward to 6 months ago and dc was good enough to make it on a club team as a 6yo and is now legal in all 4 strokes.  Mostly group lessons worked for us but we were going 2x a week and got a few private lessons just before they tried out for pre-team 2 summers ago(needed to make across 25m free and be comfortable in water over their head).

Realistically you need to adjust either your priorities or expectations here.
