Book Description
Swimming Ideas' latest training workbook for new and veteran swimming instructors and coaches.Teaching swimming lessons and running a swim team can be difficult. There are so many variables and things to consider when you're teaching. You might have ten children in the water, or five adults. Knowing how to communicate, which skills to work on, and how to follow an effective incremental progression is hard. Swimming Ideas is here to help.I've trained hundreds of new staff how to swim, and have compiled a long list of skills, terms, and techniques to make swimming instruction more effective in a new teacher's hands. Want to teach your 16-year-old novice how to teach a swim lesson so you aren't cringing and biting your nails as you watch? Give them this book, and use the general lesson plans in the back. Not sure how you describe the nuance and importance of using command language in your classes? Use this training workbook and discuss how to be a better communicator. Did you just hire a swim instructor that has never taught a lesson before and doesn't even know what a front glide is? Maybe they've never heard of streamline. Give them a copy of this training workbook and they'll learn the 15 essential swim skills and how to teach them. From language, scripts, pictures, and guides, this training guide has it all.

Book Description
Swimming is a widely popular sport and activity with great health-related fitness benefits. Yet, a significant percentage of children are unable to swim with any degree of skill—meaning not only are they missing out on health benefits, but they also are at risk when in water. Part of that risk comes from receiving either no instruction or no differentiated instruction. Children receiving swimming lessons are commonly grouped by age or grade, and many lack the basic skills required for their age levels.

Languages : en
Pages : 227

Book Description
Learning how to swim can be a frustrating experience sometimes, especially for an adult. Kick with your legs, pull with your arms, breathe in, and breathe out and do it all at the right time. Before you know it you’ve got a hundred and one things to think about and do all at the same time or in the right sequence. The Swimming Strokes Book is designed to break each stroke down into its component parts, those parts being body position, legs, arms, breathing and timing and coordination. An exercise or series of exercises are then assigned to that part along with relevant teaching points and technique tips, to help focus only on that stroke part. Although it is not the same as having a swimming teacher with you to correct you, this book perfectly compliments lessons or helps to enhance your practice time in the pool. The 82 exercises form reference sections for each swimming stroke, complete with technique tips, teaching points and common mistakes for each individual exercise. Clear, concise and easy-to-follow.
