I do feel it is a matter of quality vs. quantity with group lessons. Thanks for the feedback, Valerie! I do feel it is a matter of quality vs. quantity with group lessons.

I wish I had read it before signing my child up for group lessons many years ago. They were no help at all because he was the type of child who didn't demand attention, so consequently he tended to stay back and watch while other, more outgoing kids practiced and received useful correction from the instructor. At the end of the session, he tested poorly and was told he needed to repeat the class instead of progressing to more advanced swimming skills. This was terrible for his ego. I then signed him up for individual lessons and he thrived and now swims like a fish! Very helpful article. I wish I had read it before signing my child up for group lessons many years ago.

I have always worked out, run, weights, step class etc and I would say in fairly decent shape... Just started two weeks ago training for the tri swim. I am attending a 8 weeks class, now I am a good swimmer but laps is another story....my breathing technique is horrible so, horrible I have a heating pad on my right side of my next right now! A: I have been favoring my right side to breath and I am positive I am picking my head up to high when trying to catch a breath, I have been doing two and then breath sometimes three and then breathing....something is wrong.... I also swam 800 meters Tuesday and think for my neck was too much..... Advice, help, anything is appreciated! Hello, my name is Karen and I am 37 training for my first sprint triathlon!

It kept me in shape and I actually started enjoying it and I still do it to this day. I get a great workout and it is easy on the knees and hips. I would recommend it to anybody wanted to stay in shape. I started doing water aerobics when I had a stress fracture in my leg.
