Get more out of swim lessons, for your child or yourself. In this round table discussion, longtime coach Shelly Rawding breaks down what “swimming” really means, how to build comfort and confidence in the water, and simple things you can do at home to support success.
This course will cover a variety of topics, some of these are listed below:
What is the drowning reflex, and how you can use this information to help identify swimming readiness.
What is swimming anyway?
How to breath correctly while swimming.
What a proper bodyline looks like when swimming.
Things you can do at home to help your swimmer have a better swim lesson experience.
Our language about swimming, and how it influences our swimmers reactions in the water.
Types of swimsuits, goggles, caps, accessories… what lasts and what doesn’t. What to use when.
