Bump on this thread. Any update on instructors for summer 2017. I have 3 children and am wondering if private lessons would help them progress faster than the city lesson we've done the last few years.
I believe the city Water Safety Instructors and most 'private' instructors have all been certified by the American Red Cross, therefore should be teaching a similar curriculum. The difference between the two will be seen if you have a 1on1 instructor that can progress your child faster through the levels.
I know the Castlegate II Aquatic Center is advertising private and semi-private lessons (you don't have to be a Castlegate II member to take lessons).
Castlegate II Aquatic Swim LessonsEdited to add: I'm a parent of 3 children, all who took swim lessons through the City of College Station during the summer. My oldest will be starting his second summer as a Water Safety Instructor next month. My middle child will be starting her 3rd summer as a WSI Aide next month as well. My youngest, after completion of all the Red Cross levels a couple years ago, joined the city swim team at 10 yrs old and was well prepared to compete.
