[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After first full year of club swim. Kids who are only swimming in the summer are unlikely to make that leap, though there are exceptions.[/quote]

This and other comments on the benefits of a 9-month club swimming. What will distinguish different clubs is their approach/process to developing a swimmer across all 4 strokes, turns, starts, and endurance with consistency. Be skeptical of club programs that offer a 3-month option; flexibility/pricing sounds great but don't expect your swimmer to have the same level of progression if any at all.[/quote]

Totally agree with this. Too much flexibility in schedules makes for inconsistency in practices and coaching. My kids progressed a lot with a consistent schedule and good coaching.

l also agree with the above poster on technique. Which comes down to both good coaching and a kid who is teachable- willing to listen and make changes to form. I have seen kids who get away with bad technique simply because they are physically bigger, but eventually size evens out and the kids will poor technique fall off. [/quote]
