What to expect from a kids' swim class for school-age kids

For school-age children (5 to 12), programs split by ability as much as by age, and this is the band with the widest choice: recreational classes, leagues with games, competitive tracks and multi-week camps. After-school and weekend slots dominate; weekday daytime programs in this band are mostly school-break camps.
