Essential swimming skills in a practical environment

The objective of this CPD is to equip swimming teachers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to teach essential swimming skills in a structured and effective manner. Learners will gain an understanding of key skills, including entries and exits, movement and propulsion, coordination and balance, submersion and aquatic breathing, flotation, rotation, streamlining, and sculling. The CPD will explore methods for teaching and reinforcing these fundamental skills, with a focus on practical application in the pool environment. Teachers will learn how to use demonstrations, progressive practices, and feedback to help swimmers build a solid technical foundation. By the end of the session, teachers will be able to confidently deliver lessons that promote the development of these essential swimming skills, enhancing overall water competency and performance.
