Swimming crash courses

[Janeyraemer]

My 5 year old son is building up good confidence in swimming and just starting to be able to swim a few strokes by himself. I was wondering whether it worth him attending one of the swimming crash courses that run in holidays to see if this would give him a boost. I'm not pushy about his swimming but if people have had experiences where they have had a tangible difference then I might consider.

My dc3 was struggling a bit / had plateaued when she was little, so I booked her in for 5 x lessons one Feb 1/2 term at the local baths. First day there was only her and one other and the other d didn't then turn up again, so she had 1:1 lessons for 5 days in a row. Made all the difference - she made SO much progress. (She's a lifeguard now ).

What a good story!

Yes my DC progress much quicker with intensive courses than weekly lessons. The trick is keeping the impetus up so it's not forgotten over the summer.
