Download or read book Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming written by Monica Lepore and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming solves this problem by offering differentiated instruction for every participant in your class or program, based on each participant’s aquatic developmental level. Through this illustrated book, you will be able to • use an assessment tool to evaluate the initial skill level of every participant, • place each participant in the appropriate level, and • teach skills through fun activities and monitor each participant’s skill acquisition along the way. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming will help you accommodate nearly all of your participants’ abilities. With the six-level tool you will be able to assess initial aquatic performance levels for children with and without disabilities and provide appropriate activities to help participants develop their skills. The book is presented in two parts. Part I offers teaching strategies to help you maximize the aquatic experience for swimmers with and without disabilities. It also guides you in selecting the assessment and activity level so that you can provide a fun and successful experience for all swimmers. Part II lays out six distinct levels, from developing and building on initial skills to learning and refining specific strokes. Some skills are introduced early on and then repeated in a more difficult form at a later level. The final level focuses on longer-distance swimming, flip turns, competitive swimming, and prerequisite skills for lifeguard training. These six levels, along with the assessment instruments, accommodate most participants’ abilities. You’ll find the assessment instruments and activities very easy to use. Even those who have not been trained as instructors or teachers can implement the activities regardless of the swimmers’ levels. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming can help all participants take part in safe, fun aquatic activities that will improve their health-related fitness and well-being.

Download or read book You Can Swim But Can You Teach It written by Maud Robertson Ramsay Nomiyama and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dynamic teaching book shows the difference between swimming coaches and swimming teachers. You Can Swim, but Can You Teach It? helps swimmers to teach complete beginners how to swim. It starts from how to enter the pool and takes the student through each step necessary until he can float. Then the different methods of swimming are studied. The book was written after the author was consulted by a mother whose child had failed to learn how to swim, despite having many swimming lessons and the mother was about to give up. "I taught the seven-year-old lad and within two years had taught him to swim every stroke including the butterfly. At that time, I vowed to write the book, but it never materialized until the need to teach young members of staff how to teach swimming arose." About the Author Maud Robertson Ramsay Nomiyama is a teacher. She grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, travelled the world for three years, married a Japanese man, and now lives in Osaka, Japan. "I wrote but did not publish a book on afternoon tea, a series of books on penmanship, a book for teaching bagpipes, and a book for young students of English as a foreign language. I have written and am now publishing a book for teachers of English as a foreign language. I am now writing a book on bullying and a book on the power of the bagpipes. I intend to write a book on how to teach skiing." Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/MaudRobertsonRamsayNomiyama
Download or read book Fluid Minds written by Marcia Davis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-12 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for anyone hoping to understand the fundamentals of learning how to swim, explore other available options and gain a different perspective into the art of teaching others how to swim. Whether you are an instructor hoping to find alternative ways to teach, or parents wishing to work with their own child in the water, this book lays out methods, techniques and lesson ideas anyone can use. Focused on an animal behaviorist's understanding of shaping and training, this book bridges the gap between classic Skinnerian behaviorism and individual cognitive tendencies of young children as they learn to swim. Tried and tested methodologies of positive reinforcement, support devices and operant conditioning techniques are explored and provide an easy to follow guide covering babies to adults learning to swim. These techniques, when applied properly, provide amazing results. Proven effective at Angelfish Swim School for nearly two decades, Marcia's unique methods can be used with any skill level of swimmer from one year up to adult, offering a different way to think about how we learn in the water. Marcia addresses the pros and cons of the 3 common types of learn to swim lessons - infant survival courses, traditional group swim classes, and private one-on-one lessons. She offers an alternative to the mainstream options available, including the benefits and methods of teaching your own child the basics of swimming while demystifying the process for her readers. Oscar, her learn-to-swim device, is integral in her operant conditioning methodology - just like training wheels helping kids learn to swim. By slowly reducing a child's dependence on flotation as motor skills and confidence increase, her methods along with Oscar - Your Swim Buddy, are a perfect combination for a young swimmer's success.
