[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7yo DD has been going to the same camp for four years. They swim 2x a day, one instructional swim and one fun swim. She still hasn't passed her deep water test. They have to swim freestyle to the middle of the lake, tread water for one minute, and swim freestyle back. This isn't easy, obviously - I don't know if I could do it but at the same time, she's had all of this swimming instruction plus other swim time on family vacations - is this camp not teaching her in the most effective manner or is this typical? And no, she isn't the only one who hasn't passed the test but other friends started passing it last summer and she is no where close to being able to tread water for 1min.[/quote] I am sure that when she was three and four it wasn’t real “instructional swim” - more like “get comfortable in water.” I would expect her to pass next year.
