Students need to completely understand what exactly will give you a float or sinking result

Learn WHY certain moves are a struggle and the quick fixes.  Too often, the focus is on an actual stroke or teaching an exact new motor movement. 

This is especially true with children told to"scoop the water" or other very general examples.  

Kids and adults can easily grasp the goal and physics of what's to be accomplished.  

 

Motor learning happens rapidly; usually just three to five attempts. 

Why allow swimmers to try repeated fearful, sometimes fruitless efforts? 

Habits picked up during these initial toubled attempts need to be corrected later.

 

The cost for swim lessons can be signifigant  

When kids progress steadily, they enjoy the lessons and show off to the rest of thier group.

  Our simple concepts of swim are learned alonside and ahead of pool lessons. 

This is also a great framework to most rapidly teach yourself how to swim.
