Before we move on to kicking .... post 35

We have created from the shared wisdom read in previous 'blog posts' a water environment which is ideal to teach/learn in for both the Teacher and the pupil

We have established a relationship based on values, etiquette, good manners and mutual respect

Orientation within our water environment, confidence in the various basic swimming skills, their progressions, the strength of our body from the constantly practised skills, the love, the joy of submerging in water, being able to be underwater without fear or panic, and, the valuable life skills we have learned now give us opportunity to move on to an advanced swimming skill .... kicking

We have earned many yummy suckers/lollipops for all the little goals we have reached because we have also developed a challenging spirit of adventure
Motivation .... the sucker/lollipop reward system .... bribing .... post 34

 

As we move on to kicking these skills become even more valuable ....
