[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I have always spent a ton of time with my kids in the water. However, we are playing in the water. My kids never wanted to work on strokes and breathing, etc. with me. That's great for comfort in the water and bonding, but not for actually learning water safety and how to effectively swim strokes.

We did small group swim lessons at lifetime and big blue. We tried one class at the fairfax county rec center and it was horrible. The class was huge, they had floaties on kids in the shallow end, and the water was so cold my small kid hated it. When my oldest was older we tried one of those butterfly and breaststroke clinic and the instructor failed to show up twice and the actually class was very poorly run. I think it's the same for most rec center classes--some instructors are really great and the kids make progress. Others are poorly run and are just too big to let the instructors work well with all the kids. I now have one club year round swimmer and one who will likely be ready for swim team this summer (he's 4/5 but can swim the 25m). [/quote]
