[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got so much more out of 1 on 1 lessons with an amazing instructor (who also coaches special olympics)  than a class. [/quote]

I know but the classes really are good. And they build team community. Plus they’re basically included with the pool membership. I’m really hesitant to pay extra for this.[/quote]

Why did you ask for advice if every time an experienced parent gives it to you, you just repeat endlessly "but this class is AMAZING and it's FREE?"[/quote]

Because I did not ask “should we do group or 1:1 lessons?” I asked how hard to push, bribe, or give consequences. We’ve done lessons and have seen many lessons over the years and these group classes, offered every day for 45 mins, are fantastic.

I’m not asking about 1:1. I’m asking what to do with my son. Push him? Let him sit with me? Completely bribe?[/quote]

None of the above.  You cannot physically force him to remain in the pool and participate in swim class.  Get over your ridiculous obsession with how GREAT and FREE the class is which your child will not participate in at age 4.5 and either stop whining “bit class is freeeeeeee” and pay for private now or wait until he’s older.

Next question?[/quote]
