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]

As a parent who does private lessons for baseball and swimming for rec leagues - my kid is not naturally athletic. The quality of coaching from parent volunteers and HS/college kids varies wildly and my kid doesn't just naturally pick up on ways to improve. He needs 1:1 instructions on how to move his body, what to work towards, and most importantly WHY he should be doing the different skills. For sports I have played, I help him. For sports I don’t know how to coach, I outsource. If I don’t, my kid just doesn’t get it and then gets frustrated and wants to quit. But then he is sad because his friends are all together doing an activity he is not. We can afford the time and money for a bit of extra help, so why not? [/quote]
