NP.   We never tried a group lesson.  Instead, we shelled out $$ for a private 1:1 at our private pool.   Fully disclosed ASD (Aspergers at the time).   From my view on the outdoor pool deck while the lesson went on pre-opening hours, things seemed safe and fine.  However, after the timeslot, instructor let me know that "it would be a waste" to take my $$ for further lessons since DS was not comfortable putting face under water, day 1 lesson.  They canceled rest of summer on us.   No offer to take things at DS's pace, etc.  They did not care that I didn't mind paying; I just wanted him to learn swim basics, this was not in an effort to make team.  Nope.  We were done.[/quote]
MoCo group lesson teachers are allowed to teach private lessons during the aquatic centers' off hours.  We had a very good teacher who specialized in hesitant swimmers.  She spent much of her time helping our child put their face under the water.  With the right teacher, a 1:1 lesson is almost always better than a group lesson.  [/quote]

We did this too.  They also have an adaptive program.  The group lessons are best when your kid is not hesitant and can go under and it’s more technique.  Also, doing the county summer swim daily is helpful vs weekly.  [/quote]
