We did Tollefson when our kids got older and needed a more rigorous program. They also allow flexibility to increase to more than one day per week. Good luck!


How do the competitive teams compare for these sites?

Everything I'm looking at shows 3 practices minimum a week.

I don’t think any team is 2 days/week at that age.

I second tollefson stroke and turn.

Minimum is 2 days but most kids swim more. And, its very hard to get into.

Fins or Tollefson stroke and endurance (not team).

The Y has a team that only practices 2x/week. It’s not a very strong team/coaches, but it was a fine enough transition from summer swim to year round.

The coaches "want" him swimming year round? What does that even mean? What does your child want?
