Beginner training plan
Your first lessonCongratulations on taking the first step in improving your swimming skills! Swimming is more than exercise or recreation; it’s an essential lifesaving skill.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete training for your first triathlon or a brave individual overcoming a lifelong fear of water, we’ll use our first lesson to assess your baseline skills in the water and establish a plan of action to help you reach your aquatic goals. I will first assess your ability to safely maneuver in the water - this will involve gentle breathing, floating, and movement exercises. From there we’ll launch into your customized lesson plan!
Lesson 2-3For those who are brand new to the water world, our focus will be on building water safety skills. These include being able to safely breathe in an aquatic environment, floating with minimal assistance, and moving to safety without touching the pool floor.
For intermediate to advanced swimmers, we’ll focus on improving your swimming technique. This will involve refining your kick, body position, arm placement, and side breathing with a variety of athletic drills designed to help you focus on specific aspects of your swimming technique.
What you need to bringStudents should come prepared with their own bathing suits and towels. Goggles, caps, and nose/ear plugs are optional.
What I can bringKickboards, pull bouys, pool noodles will all be available at the pool.
