[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a high schooler. They never know their schedules in advance because they have pool managers making the schedule just a couple days in advance, they have school team coaches changing schedules all the time, and they have parents who schedule family activities without telling them.  The manager should have scheduled you with another person. But I have a feeling the manager is a teenager or a very young adult as well. [/quote]

This is op. She's not young. She has a teenage daughter. I will not be joining this pool or any outdoor pool again. Lesson learned. [/quote]

Outdoor private pools are more about swim team, socializing and summer family fun that structured lessons. If they have ok lessons, that’s a bonus. The best time to learn is in private lessons during the school year or at a county/public pool in the summer. It’s also really important to swim for fun with your child whenever possible.

Not saying this is you, OP, but I see parents at our pool every year who aggressively push their kids in lessons and badger their instructors about why they aren’t ready for swim team. They’re the parents who never get wet and bring their child for lessons and then take them home right after. It will take a long time to get results that way. If you’re not a strong swimmer yourself, Op, I know a lot of adults who became great swimmers through adult lessons and it helped their kids improve because they could swim together for fun.[/quote]
