[quote=Anonymous]Our DC took a water safety class. One of the requirements was to be able to swim the width of the pool. DC had had professional swimming lessons and used proper technique, as did one other student. The other kids made it, but by “motorboating” with their heads out of the water and sort of a cross between breast stroke and freestyle. The advantage of good technique was very apparent. So I’m with the camp that says to learn the strokes and form from somebody who knows how to teach them, but I also agree that nothing substitutes for pool time once the foundation is laid. [/quote]
