Teaching Swimming Workbook: Blue
Turn that frown upside-down! Boldly be BLUE!
Forgive the cheesy play on words and that tired euphemism about being sad. Do you know something I’m NOT sad about? I bet you can guess.
Teaching Swimming!
I spend my free time creating trainings and documenting what works well with teaching swimming. From the beginner swim instructor’s struggle to play games and finally let go of their facade (you gotta play to play) to the Developmental Swim Coach that is too focused on “grinding out yardage,” I see opportunity.
The BLUE section of the Teaching Swimming workbook (and the Essential Swim Skill section of the online course) is sometimes called the “info dump” or the “learning” section. I like to call it the reference and guide section where you see what the essential swim skills are to take a beginner to competitive competence.
Check out the latest new topic (page) in the BETTER SWIMMING; Fun and Effective Instruction online course where you’ll see a detailed breakdown of what this section of the workbook includes, and discover options to download the entire PDF or a preview section with membership!
Don’t sleep on this informative post.
