Download or read book Luca Learns To Swim written by Barry Shrewsbury and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Parent Congratulations! Your child is ready to learn to swim. As a professional swim instructor, I can assure you it will be one of the most exciting adventures in his or her young life. Not only will your child learn practical swim skills, he or she will also develop a genuine love of the water, as well as a real respect for both its joys and potential dangers. This book's purpose is to be a companion to formal lessons. It is meant to help you and your child prepare for those lessons in several ways: - To dissolve some of the mystery involved in learning to how to swim - To outline the sequence of skills as they may be introduced, thereby enabling you to best aid your child in coping with any questions or concerns that may arise as new skills are introduced. - To allow you to be involved in your child's process from the beginning It was my intent to write a simple, fun and engaging story that parents and their children will want to read over and over again. During the many years I have been teaching children to swim, I have witnessed many amazing and magical experiences. Some of my more memorable and positive recollections involved children who came to me with strong fears and resistance to learning to swim. These children taught me to be more patient, flexible, adaptable, and creative, and they have inspired me to write this book. Happy Safe Swimming!!

Download or read book How I got fit by learning to swim written by Antonio Loglisci and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I wanted to write this book to give hope and motivation to those who think they should be doing sports, but for one reason or another they haven't successfully begun. In a practical and ironic style, I told how, from total inactivity, I succeeded in reaching competitive levels, staying highly motivated, even after the bitterest losses. Here's the reason why, in addition to my personal story, I wanted to insert a substantial analytical-motivational section, complete with examples, anecdotes and practical exercises. I like to say that finally a book has been written by a common swimming pool participant, who, for health reasons, found himself having to learn to swim as a grown up, facing the typical sports learning difficulties faced by adults. "How I got fit by learning to swim" is a varied book, funny and, most of all, useful.

Download or read book Ghosts By Daylight written by Janine di Giovanni and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-07-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN EVENING STANDARD, ECONOMIST AND DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR _______________ 'Gripping and brilliantly done' - The Times 'Unashamedly romantic, and combining quiet reflection with pacy narrative, di Giovanni looks at love with the same clear eye she brings to war' - Economist 'A vivid, heartfelt book that shows the extremes of life lived to the full' - Tatler _______________ A scorching memoir of love and loss from award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni Janine and Bruno first fell in love as young reporters in the besieged city of Sarajevo. Years later - after endless phone calls, much of what the French call malentendu, secret trysts in foreign cities, numerous break-ups, three miscarriages, countless stories of rebel armies and a dozen wars that had passed between them - they arrive in Paris one rainy January to begin a new life together. The remnants of their separate lives, now left behind, are tentatively unpacked into their shared apartment on the Right Bank: Bruno's heavy blanket from Ethiopia, a set of long feathered arrows from Brazil, an ash tray stolen from a hotel in Algeria, and Janine's flak-jacket and canvas boots, still full of sand from the Western Desert in Iraq. But having met in another lifetime - in another world - ordinary, civilian life doesn't come easily. War has become part of them: it had brought them together, and, though both are damaged by it, neither can quite leave it behind. And the difficult journey that follows, through their mix of joy and terror at becoming parents, Bruno's battle with post-traumatic stress and addiction, and Janine's determination to make France her home, leads to an understanding of the truth that people who deeply love each other cannot always live together. A searing, profoundly moving love letter, beautifully written, Ghosts by Daylight is a powerfully raw portrait of marriage and motherhood in the aftermath of war. _______________ 'Janine di Giovanni writes with unblinking courage about war, death, marriage, motherhood, loss, love, redemption, fear - indeed, about all the world's most pressing risks and dangers ... Her writing here (as ever in her remarkable career) is a great and important achievement' - Elizabeth Gilbert
