Book excerpt: Swimming Ideas' latest training workbook for new and veteran swimming instructors and coaches.Teaching swimming lessons and running a swim team can be difficult. There are so many variables and things to consider when you're teaching. You might have ten children in the water, or five adults. Knowing how to communicate, which skills to work on, and how to follow an effective incremental progression is hard. Swimming Ideas is here to help.I've trained hundreds of new staff how to swim, and have compiled a long list of skills, terms, and techniques to make swimming instruction more effective in a new teacher's hands. Want to teach your 16-year-old novice how to teach a swim lesson so you aren't cringing and biting your nails as you watch? Give them this book, and use the general lesson plans in the back. Not sure how you describe the nuance and importance of using command language in your classes? Use this training workbook and discuss how to be a better communicator. Did you just hire a swim instructor that has never taught a lesson before and doesn't even know what a front glide is? Maybe they've never heard of streamline. Give them a copy of this training workbook and they'll learn the 15 essential swim skills and how to teach them. From language, scripts, pictures, and guides, this training guide has it all.

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
