[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fastest way is probably to take lessons once a week or so and then practice whatever you learned daily with them on your own. You need the repetition. [/quote] Agree on this. We haven't been very consistent about taking our daughter to family swim to help her practice, but I've noticed that in the crowded group lessons my daughter only gets 5-10 minutes of actual swimming time (except for the one time nobody else enrolled and she ended up with private lessons for a couple months--that was awesome!). We have other priorities that are higher for us than swimming, so while we want her to develop water safety skills and learn enough so that she could lap swim in the future for exercise, we've just invested our time in other skills. What I wouldn't do for a 30-hour day so we could do it all! If swimming was our family hobby we'd definitely be taking her a lot more frequently.[/quote]
