Swimming Guidance, the Modules, their purpose .... post 10

As each Module appears the tutorial might lag behind a little. The knowledge and guidance you need will be shared in as simple a way that I can, especially for you. The skills of each and every Module is inter-linked. As we learn each basic skill, progressions will follow. Each basic skill is an integral part of each part or complete swimming stroke or drown proofing technique. Trust that as you learn each skill there is great value in it. Our objective is to feel, to understand what we learn. Our bodies will develop, strengthen for movement in the water

The first Module merely an introduction for you to experience the wonder of ability learned through stimulation, repeated practices, guidance in a kind yet firm way. 'Listening' was the key. Thereafter, each Module shows a basic skill, progressions, attention on safety at all times. Each and every skill seen so far is necessary for each of us regardless of age or ability/inability

Orientation in any body of water is necessary for a little one or any beginner on entry into an unfamiliar environment. Our skill of 'conscious thinking' decides for us where and how and when to feel comfortable in water. If we try to climb into a swimming pool with our eyes closed our 'senses' will scream with 'fear'. We realise the value of 'conscious thought'. We will learn well, always move back to 'what and where we know'. Allow that each of us has a different way of understanding and learning, in our own time

A later Module will show us how orientation is used as a goal for achievement ....
