So Goldfish is NOT it.  Looking for a program my 7 year old could start now to be prepared for a summer league.[/quote]

I don't understand--is this for your neighborhood/recreation association team?
You DC will get taught the additional things they need to know learn how to swim better on the summer league team, which is recreational anyway. I thougth most pools/clubs stratify kids based on ability anyway.

This is like getting doing private basketball, baseball or soccer training for a rec league.  SMH. This area is crazy. :roll: [/quote]
I don’t disagree that this area is crazy, but the quality of summer swim instruction varies greatly. Our summer league team is very large, and the kids get very little actual instruction, largely because of the sheer number of kids and varying levels of proficiency. There is 1 head coach (who at our pool did very little but kind of hang out and occasionally chase her toddler around), and there are some new HS grads and some of the HS aged kids doing most of the instruction. Is it fun for the kids, absolutely, is your kid going to learn how to be technically sound, not so much. [/quote]

What's your endgame for a kid who is 7 years old?[/quote]
I’m the PP you’re responding to but I don’t have a 7 year old. I was responding to someone who was under the impression that you would learn everything you need to know to swim better during summer swim, and I was just pointing out that I would not use summer swim as somewhere your kid will learn to swim properly.
