I pay £10 per half hour. My DC move up one sublevel per term and there are 12 sublevels to get through in the scheme they are doing.
I was just adding up how much I've sent so far and how much more there is to go given the rate of progress.
£10 per half hour lesson, 10 lessons per term, 12 terms = £1200 (yikes!) per child
For me that's expensive, but the teacher is good so this isn't a complaint against the teacher. I am just surprised at how much it all adds up to.
The swimming teacher was explaining to me that the Amateur Swimming Association encourages all four strokes to be taught simultaneously because parents were stopping the lessons once their children could do one or two strokes. So basically there isn't an option of paying for breast stroke to be taught and then deciding if you want to pay for front crawl or butterfly next.
