Park district will cost a lot less but I don’t have experience to say which is better besides that. We did Big Blue and loved it but my niece was her teacher so. ‍♀️

Swim School for sure. We have had good luck with Chicago Swim School in AH and Foss in Niles. Previously tried DP and MP Park Dist and was not impressed.

My kids are older, but I was very happy with the Lattof YMCA's swim lessons.
