I've read some threads here recently asking about private swimming courses for children, but I was wondering if anyone knew of, or had any experience of, intensive personal swimming lessons for children?

Mine are nearly 5 and nearly 8, didn't do very well in group sessions, so we were looking for one-to-one (or I suppose two-to-one) one-week crash course.

They're fine with armbands on, it's just getting them past that stage and confident enough to swim without them.

Any ideas? Many thanks!
