M.M.
We currently go to Little Fishes Swim School, so I can give you the inside scoop. We joined b/c my daughter is 18M & is afraid to get her hair/face wet. While I know my daughter enjoys swimming more, I do think it's over priced. My child is the youngest & least experienced of the group but coach after coach have failed to give me any tips, helpful suggestions & basically tells us we're doing "a great job" eventhough all I do is model what the other parents are doing. My child still will not tolerate getting her face or hair wet, unless we're in swim class. Little Fishes is indoors & consists of an over sized hot tub (only 10 people allowed). The water is 97 degrees (which feels good) but the facility is dark & insanely humid (85% humidity). You feel like you're going to have a stroke upon entering & I cannot imagine what it's like in the summer. There is nothing they do that I feel I couldn't do at any pool. I'd try a community pool. That's what I plan on doing once our session is up. Or you could stop by & take a look. You'd know if it was right for you after 5 minutes of watching a class. The other parents in our class love the place but their kids also are easy going in the water, so they don't need any guidance.
