Ok my Dd has some very minor developmental delays, basically some are from sensory issues and some are reflexes which her body did not grow out of.
IE: There is reflex that when baby moves it's arm it's head moves. My DD has not grown out of that and is now 7. she has been diagnosed with this (Although I forgot what it's called b/c we never did the therapy follow up b/c it was outrageously expensive ) It is very slight. I can see it and if I point it out to others they can see it but it is not really a huge problem in her life until now.
The town pool requires a deep water test for kids to go down slides and off diving boards. My DD can pass the test in almost every way. She can swim freestyle to the ladder, she can tread water for the one minute and she can backstroke, However when she she backstrokes b/c her body wiggles with the arm going over her head she can't stay in a straight line.
They will not pass her b/c she veers off.
At the end of the summer last year she DID pass but she also veered off so much she went across the pool doing the backstroke. so they let her pass seeing that she could swim.
The rules however are that if you pass at the end of the summer you have to retake the test in the beginning of the year. I don't really know why but from watching who passed at the end last year and who passed at the beginning this year I can say , they let way more kids pass at the end of the year.
so anyway, do you think it would be wrong to tell manager about DD's delay and see if they could overlook the veering off?
This is not for lane swimming. It is only to enjoy the diving board and slides . The kids land in the tank and swim to the ladder. There's no racing and they keep it to one kid at a time.
My DD can swim to the bottom of the Y pool just fine to collect the rings so I KNOW she is strong swimming. She just can't go straight.
