[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nvsl B meet is Monday night. Swimmers need coach’s approve to swim in a certain stoke, if it’s not legal during time trial. I would get private lesson to help child get one stroke legal each summer, so he/she won’t lost confidence. [/quote]

Do not, for the love of god, just sign your kid up for private lessons if the goal is simply to get your child legal to swim in B meets.  Waste of money.

If s/he mentions frustration with a stroke, you could ask the child if s/he would like some extra practice with the coach and go from there.

No coach is going to give extra practice to a specific child struggling in strokes, outside group practice time. Mine couldn’t get a certain stroke legal after summer swim and even entire year of club swim. But private lesson did.[/quote]

Our team offers clinics.  They are invite only and run for 20 to 30 minutes and it is 2-3 kids.  They run them when the pool is not open and probably work with 12-15 kids each week on strokes in this very small group setting.  They encourage private lessons as well.  I reached out to the team rep and she spoke to several of the coaches and came up with a game plan for my swimmer last year.  It took a clinic and one private lesson and it all clicked.

Our team tries and get all kids that are not legal in their strokes to learn one new stroke during the summer.  They track it.  [/quote]
