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.

Book excerpt: Teach Yourself Or Your Child To Swim At Home Without A Pool is designed to help parents and grandparents and adults who never learned how to swim well more water safety and swimming skills. In rural and low income urban and suburban areas where there is no pool or quality instructors, this book shows how you can easily start learning how to swim at home without a pool. A kitchen sink, dressing mirror, mattress, and a bathtub are used to overcome fears and anxiety to become familiar with all the necessary swimming skills. Then you can easily transfer those same skills to the shallow end of a lake or pool where you can stand up wearing goggles to see the bottom and your arm strokes. Most parents spend time teaching their kids backyard sports skills they transfer to the playing field or court. This is no different and another way for parents to get more out of swim lessons. The problem is that most instructors are young and inexperienced and are not competitive swimmers to know the correct visual, verbal, or kinesthetic feeling cues I use to get faster longer-lasting results. Even if you think you know how to swim, this book will help you learn to be more efficient for your health and safety. You can easily swim laps in a pool into your 80's and 90's without the wear and tear on your joints running and other sports bring. This book is ideal for Active Lifestyles, parents, grandparents, beginners, non-swimmers, instructors, and competitive Masters, Senior Olympians, Triathletes, and Age-Group Swimmers.

Book excerpt: A very warm welcome to 'Butterfly Competitive Swimming Drills'.About this publicationThis publication provides coaches, teachers and swimmers with a series of tried and tested competitive butterfly drills. These can be easily incorporated and adapted into your training or teaching programmes, whether you coach or teach, rookies or national swimmers.Delivering fresh stimuli to your training programmeCompetitive swimming can be a gruelling sport, requiring swimmers to undertake many hours of repetitive training each week, in pursuit of excellence. Developing a training or teaching programme that delivers the technical and physical demands of our sport, while at the same time adding variety to your sessions can be an ongoing process. This can be both difficult and time-consuming to achieve. Swimming programmes without fresh stimuli are in real danger of demotivating both swimmers, coaches and teachers alike. Over the past twenty-five plus years as a head coach, coach and teacher, I have managed to collate a portfolio of competitive butterfly drills. I have used these to develop many young competitive butterfly swimmers to county, regional/state and national levels, the best of which are published here.Focusing on the stroke's key technical techniques This publication focuses on the stroke's key technical techniques. Each has its dedicated chapter, breaking down the stroke into its key constituent parts, to help both the coach, teacher and the swimmer develop and maintain a great butterfly stroke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Swim Speed Secrets, 4-time Olympian, gold medalist, and triathlon world champion Sheila Taormina reveals the swim technique used by the world’s fastest swimmers. Over the course of 4 Olympic Games and throughout her career as a world champion triathlete, Taormina refined her exceptional technique as a student of the sport, studying the world’s best swimmers using underwater photographs and video analysis. From Johnny Weissmuller to Michael Phelps, the world’s fastest swimmers share two common elements: high stroke rate and a high-elbow underwater pull. Many swimmers and triathletes neglect the underwater pull, distracted by stroke count or perfecting less critical details like body position, streamlining, and roll. Swim Speed Secrets focuses on producing power—the most crucial element of swimming—to help triathletes and swimmers overhaul their swim stroke and find the speed that’s been eluding them. With a commonsense approach that comes from decades of practice and years of hands-on coaching experience, Taormina shows swimmers how to transition to faster swimming. Swim Speed Secrets includes: The best drills to cultivate a more sensitive feel for the water Dryland and strength building exercises to develop arm position and upper body musculature Crisp photos of Olympic swimmers and variations in their high-elbow underwater pull Clear descriptions of the key moments of the underwater pull Tips that helped her perform at a world-class level for two decades Sheila Taormina’s Swim Speed Secrets brings the focus back where it belongs—to a powerful underwater stroke. With this approach, triathletes and swimmers can stop swimming for survival and break through to new levels of speed and confidence in the water.

Download or read book The Effect of Two Teaching Methods on the Stroke Efficiency of Beginner Swimmers written by Suzi Wilkins and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The study was designed to determine the effect of two teaching methods on the stroke efficiency of freestyle and backstroke for beginner swimmers. The swimmers (= 53) were matched for age and ability before being randomly assigned to either the American Red Cross (1992b) or the Boomer method (Boomer, 1999) teaching method. The stroke efficiency of the swimmers; including stroke rate (SR), velocity (V), and stroke length (SL) were measured prior to, during, and at the completion of the 7-week teaching program. The beginner swimmers were instructed twice a week for 60 min each session. The ARC group had a significantly (2 .05) lower SR at the pretest in freestyle; they took fewer strokes to swim 25 yd compared to the Boomer group at the mid- and posttests. The SR means for backstroke were not significantly (E .05) different for the pretest, yet the ARC group took fewer strokes to swim the 25yd by the mid- and posttests. The SL for both teaching groups increased from the pretest to the midtest for freestyle and backstroke, but no change was noted from the mid- to the posttests. V did not vary across the three testing More practice days are needed to allow meaningful differences between the teaching methods to emerge.

Download or read book Master the Art of Swimming written by Steven Shaw and published by Collins & Brown. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swimming improves your flexibility, tones your body and can help to boost your self-esteem and produce a sense of well being. It is the nation's most popular sporting activity with 11.9 million people swimming regularly. However, most people don't know how to swim properly. This book is based on a 35-year voyage of discovery into the art of swimming. Steven Shaw's method takes the Alexander Technique into the swimming pool – focusing on releasing tension from the head, neck and back. Steven has evolved a unique way of breaking down strokes into a series of therapeutic movements, which can be practised individually or with a partner, in a pool or on dry land. These provide the building blocks, which combine to make it possible for anyone to recraft their own strokes in a way that promote good body use and avoid injuries. Instead of performing physical actions in an automatic way, you begin to learn body awareness. This way of swimming not only feels freer and more open, it is graceful and has a sense of flow, often absent from the way many people swim. Shaw looks at the most popular strokes – front crawl, back stroke, breast stroke and butterfly – focusing on maximum efficiency and minimum strain.
