HOW I WORK

  1. Accomplishments:
    1. Former swimmers have moved on to Division I teams, and place in meets
    2. Former swimmers have been to Junior Olympics
    3. Former swimmers have been Division and League champions in the DC area
  2. Approach: Depends on the student, little little kids need to just be in the water, blowing bubbles and getting used to it without being afraid. Once they've moved on from there, it's time for basic stroke development...freestyle (front crawl) and breaststroke. Once they grow up a little more and become stronger, freestyle and breaststroke are improved, elementary backstroke and regular backstroke are taught, and we can begin to work on stamina. After the basics are mastered, strength and stroke development take on progressively more difficult workout sets and feedback is given.<br/><br/>Since adults have already mastered how the body moves, and can communicate far more effectively than 3 year olds, it's much easier to learn and move according to the pace of the student. Therefore, this is much less structured and works with where the student is to begin with, where they'd like to be and why they want to learn to swim.
  3. Ideal projects: -30 minute lessons for kids with no swimming experience<br/>-Hour long lessons for kids who know all four strokes and would like to develop them further<br/>-Hour and a half long workout sessions for competitive swimmers who want individual instruction and conditioning<br/>-30-45 minute lessons for adults who have no swimming experience<br/>-45 minute lessons for adults who would like to get better at swimming<br/>-Hour long workout sessions for adults who would like to use swimming as a way to get fit
