Swim Lessons for 4 Year Old

My son started at Aqua Kids in Keller about 11 weeks ago. 11 weeks ago he would not even put his face in the water (he is 3). Last night he went to swim lessons and he swam all the way across the pool by himself. I almost passed out! He also floated on his back last night, unassisted. He use to HATE to be put on his back. I can not reccomend this place enough!! This is the 3rd place I have tried swim lessons and the ONLY place that has worked. Good luck!

My son is 4, almost 5 and he took swim lessons right before his 4th birthday last year at the YMCA. He LOVED IT!. He was terrified of the water and would choke the tar out of me and now he'll hold on to the side of the pool and go all the way around with no problem. At the Ymca, it's only two weeks long but like I said, in just those two weeks... he learned so much! They meet twice a week and it's only 75 dollars for the 2 weeks. I'm signing my son back up tomorrow for this summer. You should check there, especially since there is ymca's in almost every area in DFW.

We've used KISD natatorium for my daughter's swim lessons since she was 2 and are very happy with the results. She's 3 1/2 and will be in the 5-6 year old level one class this summer. They're prices are reasonable and the instructors and staff are wonderful. Their summer schedule is online but they are almost full for the summer. Good luck!

The YMCA is the way to go. My girls go to the one in Lewisville/FM. It meets for two weeks, 30-45 inutes per session, Monday-Thursday, no Friday session. They went last year and did great. My one daughter was 5 and they moved her up the first day and my other was 3 and did great. I like that they don't have me in the water with them because to me that defeats the purpose. They are taking lessons again this year the first session the beginning of June. It is proabably about $75/session. I have a friend that is taking her child to the Winkids pool in FM and paying almost $200 for one day a week for 10 weeks. To me I think it is better to concentrate and have them learn then to spread it over the whole summer...jmop.
Good Luck!

They have life jackets at Wal Mart and one of my kids learned by getting the confidence with that. He would jump off the dive and swim around then soon he was throwing the jacket in and swimming to it then he did not need the jacket. I took lessons with my children when they were 6 ms and at 2 and half. The more exposure the more then learn. I take the little ones with floaties or jackets. YMCA is a good source for lessons and membership allows you all to go. I had my grandddaughter in one summer and after that she swims like a fish. G. W

We're starting Aqua Kids this week! My DD is 4 and from the looks of it, they have specific goals for the kids. Their site is www.aquakids.com. I'll let you know how it goes!
