[quote=Anonymous]Seven is pretty young. Part of swimming is gross motor skills, a neurodevelopmental issue. At that age, it’s normal for kids to have a fairly broad range of coordination, strength, and endurance. The other issue is the quality of instruction at camps. Counselors are usually teens and young adults. They are selected for willingness, attitude, and desire to work for below minimum wage. (Camps are exempted from wage floors.) Counselors can have great hearts and provide the younger children with a lot of fun activities. However, they tend not to be trained in coaching or pedagogy. Their instruction isn’t always effective, or sometimes it’s just not the right fit for all kids.[/quote]
