No they don’t. I lived in 3 big cities in the us. No one has instructional swim. How can you make statements about the whole us?

I find that bungalow colony day camps give swim instruction- usually twice a week. I don’t know many city day camps that give as often or even at all. Some of the large ones, maybe

I’ll revise to say IME.
When she was 6 she had instructional swim 3x a week.
At 7 she had instructional swim 5x a week.
As I said in my circles this is the Norm (in other camps that my fiends send their kids to)

I’ve never seen a camp that has a pool not have instructional swim. Why don’t they offer instructional swim?

Usually because too many kids, no space in the pool to do it and not enough staff to split into groups.

I've sent to many many daycamps in Lakewood and ONE had instructional swim for one year then stopped.
Pretty much everyone I know sends their kids to private lessons.
I guess swimming lessons in camp is a regional thing.
......as for the counselors keeping an eye on the kids in the pool......If the even "officially" are supposed to, I am not relying on that for any added safety! The reality is your counselors are schmoozing w eachother and the lifeguards are watching the pool.

She promised to stay in the shallow part but I had not a good feeling about it and said no. Now she's having a major meltdown about how "everyone" else lets their children go, even if they don't know how to swim.
So, do you let your non-swimming dc go to a pool with friends and their parents? We're in Israel, but I posted it here for a wider range of opinions. |
If the friends mom is going, I would call the mom and ask her what she thinks, tell her my daughter doesn’t know how to swim, will you watch her and make sure she is in the shallow? Ask her?
But as a mom we are allowed to say no when we feel something isn’t safe for our child, it’s our job.
