Swim club breakdown & comparison

I decided to just type everything instead of uploading a picture because typed words are easier to read

Swim club & special swim club:

• Parties after initial meeting (if wanted)

• At neighborhood pool

• They never meet at the same time

• Signing up is mandatory but highly encouraged

• No resident is ever turned away

• For residents only

• Always free for residents

• Someone can leave anytime without a fee and rejoin anytime

• Sauna and steam room time

• Hydration and snack breaks

• “Free play”

• The comfort of littles is the instructor’s #1 priority

• Less “Learning”

Swim club:

• Most flexible dress code

• Jumping in from diving board

• Water slide (maybe)

• Club members can learn most cool stuff from each other

Actual swim lessons & Swim club:

• Jumping in

• Some time in deep end

Actual swim lessons (based on my memory and research):

• Jumping in from edge

• Mostly learning

• Most structured

• Mostly in shallow end

• Being mandatory or not varies by country

• Rarely free

All:

• Session lasts 30 min-1 hour

• “Instructors” who work to build trust

• Pool games

• No open swim during any of them
