"Water is a magical medium It brings to my awaren

"Water is a magical medium It brings to my awareness subtleties that I would not notice out of the water.
The relationship between my head neck back affects my performance in the water more than any other singular factor. When I am able to let go and really free my neck in the water everything feels incredibly light and easy in my body and I feel a sense of calm and stillness which enables me to really be in the moment so that I can see and feel what to do with my pupils. When I am able to free my own neck, I stop trying to fix them, or get them to do the right thing and instead start to explore moving from the realms of the known to the unknown.
And this is where true freedom exists." Steven Shaw

~Key differences in teaching children:
Children’s basic ability to control their bodies is generally much better than the average adult. Take an activity like squatting most 4 years old can squat relatively easily where as most adults will struggle.

They are more used to learning and are generally better at following instructions that relate to their bodies. Where as many adults that come for lessons over the age of fifty haven’t learned any kinaesthetic skill since they learned to drive a car.

Children require less explanation they simply need to be told and shown what to do where as adults often perform better when they understand why they are required to perform a particular action and how it is likely to benefit. In other words, children tend to possess a greater degree of trust

Young children tend to have better posture and move more freely than most adults. They also have less physical tension and a better range of motion.

Another huge advantage children have over adults is that they don’t have so many habitual movement patterns. So unlike adults have less unlearning to do.
Children, on the other hand, have shorter attention spans and therefore the teaching needs to at a faster pace and more fun.

~Providing a good start in terms of swimming is vital.

For if a child can establish a positive relationship with the water and healthy stroke patterns from a young age they are set up with a health ability than can serve themm well for the rest of their life.
