[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to Kids First Swim School in Sterling.
We went there for like 2 yrs off and on, starting at age 5. My kid is VERY ADHD. It was okay. A lot of money, private lessons.

This summer, my kid was determined to go down this slide at Volcano Island waterpark and it said "Warning must be good swimmer." He went down it a couple of times. The life guard had to come over a few times and tell him, "buddy, you have to be a good swimmer to come down this slide." (He was just as tall as the water, so he wasn't going to drown) He would come back with his sad face. So, we practiced almost everyday, having him jump off the 5ft deep water and swimming to the edge.

Then he wanted to jump off the diving board at our local pool into 8 ft water. He did it. He swam to the edge.

At first, he looked like a little shrimp kicking his feet and arms and just going in a circle. lol. But then he figured it out. Anyhoo, my point is, motivation of being able to do these particular activities plus EVERYDAY practice is what really helped.

I wonder if there are private lessons that are taught everyday for 1/2 hr? [/quote]
