About hearing and listening .... post 19

We hear sounds with our ears. We listen by paying attention to the sounds we hear with our ears

Listening is the most difficult skill to develop. We can learn to do so with our senses. That which is said to us also has a voice tone, reflects our emotions, intentions. What and how it is said creates a communication with another causing a reaction according to what is heard and understood

When teaching or learning an instruction is heard, listened to, motivates thinking, processes the action in our imagination, we attempt to practice the skill. In water, mostly, we cannot watch our actions or stroking. We do not know how good our technique is. We copy the very well demonstrated actions and strokes. In water good technique feels good

The successful achievement of the swimming skills we get to master through teaching and learning need a quiet, warm, water environment where we can hear audible succinct instruction which guides us towards achieving swimming skills. The direct eye contact of the teacher, such a valuable tool to develop 'observational skills', the overall effect and reaction to instruction ....

Swimming Guidance Introduction Module reflects the achievement of consistently, repetitively using the various skills mentioned in this and previous blog posts. Watch each 'little person' carefully. Our attention of each other is sure, courteous. 

We love and like each other ....
