SIP 041: Underwater First

2016/03/21

Level 1 and Parent Tot. Our primary focus is going underwater. When you can go underwater then you can do everything. The only thing you can do without going underwater is supported activities (being physically held up at surface) and backstroke. One must learn how to go underwater. They should learn how to react when submerging, how to hold breath, blow bubbles, and not to panic when not able to breathe underwater. We do that by repeatedly giving opportunities to go underwater to the

Can you teach level 2 and level 3 in the same class? What about 1 and 2? We go into some in-depth discussion on what each level requirements are, and how you can integrate them into one class. Is it ideal? Why even have levels in the first place? Example of last class taught: level 2/3 and how I taught the class to each individual. The beauty of short and long distance skill work, and why the short distance cheat sheet is a framework of success. General Short distance framework: 3 x

http://www.swimmingscience.net/2012/02/external-vs-internal-focus-for-optimal.html Swimingscience.net posted an article about External and internal focus for optimal learning. Basically: external focus is better. Using golf, darts, and balancing a board, researchers have shown that when you focus your attention on doing SOMETHING to something, you get better results. This applies to swimming lessons because it gives us an insight into how we frame our language to get the best

Locked doors, headaches, and intellectual need | Affording Play http://flip.it/9Moov Mathematics, and how to teach both old and new math, and how to program. The concept of the "locked door, and the key." I have a door that is locked. How do I get through it? You use a key. How do you respond when you are presented with another locked door the next time? You search for the key. We want to teach our swimmers to have the keys to their success :) Introduce a "problem" and then offer a

You can find the website post about this game here: http://swimminglessonsideas.com/2015/06/02/swimming-game-100-point-swim/ We played this game about 10 times in the last few months. I have played it with swimming lessons with more advanced abilities and with our developmental swim team. For our pre-competitive group, who have mostly been swimming on the team for more than 1 year, it was an excellent great game. I found there to be a high level of engagement, reception to improved quality and

Coach I work with talking about job history, philosophy of coaching Fixed mindset, change mindset Work hard and you will fail Coach's role: games? No. Respect. Yelling doesn't earn it. Don't be feared. Expectation of hard work and care. Clarify and reword what head coach doesn’t address or explain well. What makes a good swimmer?

SIP 033: What do you think of "side glide?"

Swimming Ideas Podast ·

2015/10/12

Side Glide: What are the benefits? Are there even good examples of side glide that effectively teach freestyle breathing? If you can do a streamline, do that first, then roll over on your side, put your top hand on your hip, and stack your hips. Rotate your hips and your shoulder to lean on your side. Breathe, and then put your face in the water and do it again. The idea, is that you rotate your body to breathe which later on in swimming is generally the goal: connect your hips and your

SIP 031: Does sidestroke deserve to "go away?"

Swimming Ideas Podast ·

2015/09/09

I can think of three reasons to use sidestroke: Use in lifesaving. Survival swim. A teaching tool to illustrate what NOT to do when teaching breaststroke kick. When you teach swimming lessons we want to make an effort to teach swimming strokes that our participants are going to use. Sidestroke is an archaic swim stroke that is often glossed over and ignored today. We only mention sidestroke two different times. 1. During lifeguard classes when we are reviewing how to rescue someone without a
