[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6-7 for my older two, who suffered through years of group swim lessons at the Y.

Under 4 for my youngest, when we wised up and started with a private teacher. Wish I could have turned back the clock with my older two and gone private. The difference is amazing--with swimming, such small adjustments can make a huge difference in how efficient a stroke is. [/quote]

Can you explain more why the private lessons made a huge difference? Some of these group lessons are not that crowded. Right now, my 4 year old is in a group lesson with 3 others. Sorry, I have been wondering if we should go private. [/quote]

DP.  For some kids, private lessons are better because the instructor can focus on the child and the child can have one-on-one attention and learn a lot in a short period of time.  Other kids learn better by being in a group and following along.  Private swim lessons can be very beneficial but not all kids are able to benefit from them if they do better in a group lesson.  And kids can certainly learn a lot in a group lessons or a session of group lessons.  [/quote]
