[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In fact, you can just as easily and more economically instill a love of swimming in your child by doing group lessons at the Y, and following up with free lap swim.[/quote] I just did the math. For time in the water, swim team is cheaper than swim lessons at my pool. Your mileage may vary. Substituting rec swim for some lesson time would be cheaper but requires you have a child who enjoys doing laps and drills on her own. Much like throwing your child outside with a ball would be cheaper than joining a soccer team, but your child may not get as much out of it as he would if he belonged to a soccer team.[/quote] +1. There is no way my son, who loves swimming, would do an hour of laps and drills on his own. Snooze-fest. Part of a workout is hanging out with friends and the coach, and laughing and racing, etc.[/quote]
