Description

This is the second of two courses that teach through the School of Fish swimming method. Course 2 takes the basic swimmer through the steps to mastering all strokes.

The School of Fish progression (Course 1&2) looks at the learning and teaching in its entirety from a non-swimmer with no water confidence right through to an efficient swimmer mastering all strokes. What sets this approach apart is that the swimming strokes are introduced at different levels and then built in conjunction with each other rather than separately. The School of fish method is extremely useful for any swimmer, teacher and parent wanting the 'whole picture' when it comes to swimming.

Who this course is for:

Parents, teachers and swimmers wanting to know how to learn and teach all the swim strokes and skills
