The best progress and retention of skills comes with practice. Most children should stay in some form of personalized programming over extended breaks from the pool. After your session, your instructor should inform you of what they think is best for your child. As the child grows, the amount of practice needed will DECREASE. If your child is under 4, they should be participating in something every 2-4 months.

Please feel free to utilize both instructor’s scheduling availability to suit your family’s needs.
