[quote=Anonymous]All I can add is my DS’s first swim team experience. He was about 9 years old and his swim lesson instructor recommended swim team because lap swimming is necessary to become a good swimmer. This was at a summer YMCA and it was crowded - about 10 kids in each lane. With all those kids, you can only imagine the waves in the pool with all those churning arms. I watched my kid the entire time because I thought he was going to drown! Granted, there was a lifeguard, but there were a lot of bodies in the water. Maybe I am exaggerating, but it was a far cry from a 1:1 organized swim lesson. He was a limp noodle when he was done with his first practice. To the OP, maybe you could watch a practice to see if/when your child would be a good fit. Remember, this is supposed to be fun. Good luck.[/quote]
