...do you sign up for back-to-back programs?
For instance, at my YMCA, you sign up for an 8 week program for $66 and try to get into the time slot you want - if you want to continue after that, you have to sign up for another 8 weeks for another $66 and hope you signed up early enough to get in the same slot.
I'm curious if people do swim classes all year round, or only for winter months, or do one session on and one session off, etc.

We do swim through the Y and maybe our program isnt as popular but we dont really have an issue getting into the same time slot each session. We've been doing the 9:30 class on saturday for almost a year now... we skipped one of the summer sessions (too many weekend trips planned) and the session over the christmas holidays (again to many plans on saturdays to make it worth while). My LO is 2 1/2 and this is her only activity

Our swim classes are through a swim school, it is year round. We don't sign up for a session, it is ongoing. We have to give them thirty days notice when we want to stop. I like year round because they don't lose any skills then.

We have done two swim lesson sessions, but not back to back. Usually after one session we decide that we don't want the commitment since our weekend schedules are a bit hectic. For the last few weeks we've just been going to open swim time which our Y offers on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

We've been to two different sessions but not back to back. Ours is the same way - you sign up for an 8 week program, and then you can sign up for the next 8 week program. Usually it's winter/fall (so you'd sign up for Sept-Nov and Jan-Mar at the same time) and then spring/summer. We did Sept-Nov this year but then decided to skip Jan-Mar because we wanted a break, to try something else, and sometimes in the winter session the water is really cold. We'll probably sign up for the April - June session.

We've been doing back to back sessions since last summer for my 3.5 year old. Im afraid if we stop for a while she'll lose some skills and I really want her to know how to swim before we stop. We live in Southern California. We don't have a pool but my parents have a hot tub and we go to the beach in the summers, so I want her to be comfortable and safe in the water.
