Introduction of Water
Most children, even adults who have never entered into the pool will usually be scared / anxious when going into it, the more so when ever traumatized by water.
For it should they get into shallow end first. Once accustomed, and his courage began to emerge, could begin to be invited to the pool who is a little deeper (Remember! Should he still could set foot to the floor of the pool without drowning, but always accompanied by you or the coach).
The next stage:
- Teach how to breathe in water, by the way:
o Tell him to breathe deeply
o Then tell him to put his head into the water
o Then breathed the breath through the nose when the head is still in the water
o Then raise your head above water as he opened his mouth to take a breath
o Do the above again and again until she got used and is not afraid to put his head into the water
o Use equipment like :swimwaysbabyspring
- Have jumped from the pool into the pool
It is intended to reduce fear of water. And can more enjoy and enjoy playing with water.
- Learning to float above the surface water bodies
o When you are not afraid of water (dare shove into the water long enough), then you can ask him to slowly float over the surface of the water body. By position, face and eyes facing the floor of the pool while holding his breath (do casual dg)
- Learning to glide over the surface of the water
After the body can float above the water, now we are into the next stage .. learn to glide, by the way:
o the position of the body floats on the surface of the water, then move your foot up and down like a man who is running (but between the thighs and legs straight, knees not bent)
Note
To learn floating, initially can be assisted by his friend to hold her hand when she tried to float his body with relaxing on the water and when you stand up again.
To learn to float and glide, which is most important is to eliminate the fear of the water first .. see steps above. Take time doing it definitely worked.
To learn to swim the most important is to eliminate the fear with water first.
The entire stage above should only need a little time.
After the body can float and glide across the surface of the water, it can start to learn the breaststroke or freestyle
Should learn to swim breaststroke or freestyle first? Usually coaches teach swimming breaststroke swimming first, because this style is the most rapidly controlled. But now it often enough that teaches freestyle first. The reason why freestyle taught first .. because by mastering the freestyle, then the other swimming styles will be more easily controlled. But to learn the style of his own free will require a longer time.
So it's up to you want to learn the breaststroke or freestyle first. If ya want to quickly learn breaststroke first. But if you have enough time and want more time to learn, yes learn freestyle directly.
Please note
Learning to swim any style, it begins with learning and practicing the footwork first.
Never despair in learning. Swim like we learn to walk, keep trying ... it'll work.
