So DS (who will be 6 in August) had a year of swimming lessons in a 2-1 class. The other child was better than him but he did ok. I had to stop that as it was too expensive.
This year he's been in a small class - between 7 and 3 kids each week. He also had a week of 1-1 lessons in October. And he still can't swim. He seems to be regressing. I've complained about the lack of teaching continuity which is part of the problem but the other kids are getting on with it, progressing and moving on while he's going nowhere, literally.
It looks as though he doesn't kick hard enough so he sinks after one or two strokes.
He is comfortable in the water and enjoys the lessons but I can't keep spending without any progress.
What do I do? Get a private 1-1 teacher for another set of intensive sessions? Keep plugging away in the class? We've had plenty of swimming based holidays and he loves the splashing but is not making the leap.
