Where do I start.... My DD's started swimming lessons age 3 and 4 at the local pool. We went there for a year where they made zero progress. We moved them to a private club for a further 2 years where they seemed to progress. Moving to stage 4 which I was happy with. The swimming club closed and we Have just started at a new club a few weeks ago. At the first lesson I was told they shouldnt be in stage 4 and need to be in stage 2!! So I have spent what feels like weeks of my life and what must be thousands of pounds and they have moved up 1 whole stage!! I could cry... it seems the ild club have been artificially progressing them so I would keep forking out. I am livid! I struggled to find the money to pay the fees in the first place.
So after a few lessons at the new club where I can actually watch the lessons I can see they are being shown and they just cannot move their bodies correctly. My youngest is now getting better than my eldest who I suspect may have mild dyspraxia.
I have had enough!!!
Today I let thek swim after their lesson and one of the teachers spent half an hour of her own time helping dd1 it was amazing to watch. This may be just what she needs. So I have asked about 2-2-1 lessons with this lovely lady for both my daughters at a cost of £300 for 10 weeks. Works out at £15 each for half an hour just them and teacher. Does anyone have any experience of these lessons. Please give me some hope this will finally work.
