It depends on how much effort you put in to each Competent Swimming lesson and if you practice what you have learnt outside of Competent Swimming. However many people who take lessons learn how to swim with foundational technique after 5 weekly lessons.
Absolutely. Tell your teacher you would like to learn a specific stroke or skill (i.e. Treading Water) and they will run through specific exercises to help you learn this.
