Southern Ireland / Republic of Ireland
We know that making the decision to book swimming lessons is very difficult for some. For that reason we always make sure you have ample opportunity to talk with us first. We are so confident that even the most fearful will enjoy Learning to Swim With Us with us that we promise that if you find you don't want to continue after your first private swimming lesson, then all it will cost you is your time and travelling. We know that first step towards booking swimming lessons is all important. For that reason we always make sure you have ample opportunity to talk with us first. Please note that this website is Gay's at Swim With Us. Irene and Steve each have their own websites and we work as individuals. I will be quite happy to help you find the right place for your lessons. Irene has a lovely private pool for your individual use. Steve teaches in public pools and can also offer private swimming lessons. He was also trained as a Total Immersion Coach. Whoever you choose for your residential swimming lessons, you can be assured of a first class service for your one-to-one lessons, with your instructor in the water with you.
... Movement in the WaterChildren should be encouraged to move freely at the earliest opportunity. Some may require the support of artificial aids or the assistance of a helper in the water. The availability of this type of support should be removed as soon as safety and confidence permit. Practices • walk holding the rail/side • walk alongside the rail/side without touching Teaching Points • slide feet along the bottom • move slowly • aim for shoulders below the surface Developments • walk anywhere around the pool • walk changing speed • walk changing direction including sideways and backwards • walk in geometrical shapes/patterns • jumping, hopping, skipping As the pupils gain in confidence they should be allowed to experiment with a variety of movement patterns and games. Swimming Lessons IrelandFront CrawlFront Crawl is the fastest of the four competitive strokes. The body position is almost flat and the constant propulsion from the alternating arm and leg actions make it a very efficient stroke. Body Position Key Points • flat with a slight slope down to the hips. The head is neither buried nor lifted. The waterline is between the eyebrows and natural hairline • eyes look forwards and downwards • the slight slope down to the hips keeps the kick in the water • shoulders roll into the stroke to utilise the strong chest muscles and to generate a strong propulsive force • slight head adjustments change the position of the legs. If the head is lifted the legs will drop and vice-versa, like a see-saw • the legs work almost within body depth. This creates the least resistance to forward motion Swimming Lessons IrelandFloatingProne Float
This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position. Key Points • take a breath • lean forward to face down position • lift the legs • make a star shape • relax • keep the head down Swimming Lessons IrelandAbbeydorney, Abbeyfeale, Abbeyleix, Abbeylara, Abbeyshrule, Achill Sound, Aclare, Adare, Aghaboe, Aghabullogue, Aughagower, Aughleam, Allihies, Ardara, Ardee, Ardmore, Ardrahan, Arklow, Arvagh, Ashbourne, Askeaton, Athea, Athenry, Athlacca, Athleague, Athlone, Athy, Augher, Aughrim, Avoca Bagenalstown, Bailieborough, Balbriggan, Ballaghaderreen, Ballaghmore, Ballickmoyler, Ballina, Ballinacarrigy, Ballinagh, Ballinakill, Ballinamore, Ballinasloe, Ballincollig, Ballindine, Ballineen,Ballingarry, Ballingooly, Ballinhassig, Ballinrobe, Ballintubber, Ballon, Ballybofey, Ballybrophy, Ballybunion, Ballycastle, Ballycotton, Ballydehob, Ballydesmond, Ballyfin, Ballygarvan, Ballyhale, Ballyhaunis, Ballyheigue, Ballyjamesduff, Ballylickey, Ballylynan, Ballymahon, Ballymakeera, Ballymascanlon, Ballymoe, Ballymote, Ballynahinch, Ballyragget, Ballyshannon, Ballyvourney, Baltimore, Baltinglass, Banagher, Bandon, Bangor Erris, Bantry, Barleycove, Bayside, Bellavary, Bellderrig, Belmullet, Belturbet, Bennetsbridge, Birr, Blacklion, Blackrock, Blanchardstown, Blarney, Blessington, Borris, Borris-in-Ossory, Borrisokane, Boyle, Bray,Brookfield, Bruff, Buncrana, Bundoran, Bunmahon, Burtonport, Butlersbridge, Buttevant Cadamstown, Caherdaniel, Cahersiveen, Cahir, Callan, Cappamore, Carlingford, Carlow, Carnaross, Carndonagh, Carra, Carrickmacross, Carrick-on-Shannon, Carrick-on-Suir, Carrigadrohid, Carrigaholt, Carrigaline, Carrigallen, Carrowteige, Cashel, Castlebar, Castlebellingham, Castleblayney, Castlecomer, Castleconnell, Castlehill, Castleisland, Castleknock, Castlemartyr, Castlepollard, Castlerea, Castletownbere, Castletownshend, Cavan, Celbridge, Charlestown, Charleville, Clane, Clara, Clarecastle, Claremorris, Clifden, Clogher, Clogherhead, Clonakilty, Clonbur, Clondalkin, Clonenagh, Clones, Clonmacnoise, Clonmany, Clonmel, Clonskeagh, Clontarf, Cloone, Cloughjordan, Cloyne, Coachford, Cobh, Collon, Cong, Coolmine, Coolock, Cootehill, Cordangan, Cork, Courtmacsherry, Courtown, Cratloe, Cregganbaun, Crookhaven, Croom, Cross, Crosshaven, Crossmolina, Curracloe Daingean, Dalkey, Delvin, Derrybeg, Dingle, Donabate, Donaghmore, Donegal, Doneraile, Doolin, Doon, Douglas, Downings, Dowra, Drogheda, Dromahane, Dromiskin, Dromod, Dromoland, Drumcondra, Drumshanbo, Dublin, Dún Laoghaire, Dunboyne, Dundalk, Dundrum (Dublin), Dundrum (Tipperary), Dunfanaghy, Dungarvan, Dungloe, Dunlavin, Dunmanway, Dunmore, Dunmore East, Dunshaughlin, Durrow, Easky, Edenderry, Edgeworthstown, Emo, Emyvale, Ennis, Enniscorthy, Enniskean,Enniskerry, Ennistimon, Eyeries Ferbane, Ferns, Fethard, Fintown, Foxford, Foxhall, Foxrock, Foynes, Freshford, Furbo, Fenagh Galway, Garryspillane, Glandore, Glangevlin, Glanmire, Glengarriff, Glengevlin, Glenties,Gleneshane, Glin, Glounthaune, Golden Falls, Goleen, Gorey, Gort, Gougane Barra, Gowran, Graiguenamanagh, Granard, Greencastle, Greenore, Greystones, Gweedore Halfway, Harold's Cross, Headford, Hollymount, Hospital, Howth Inagh, Inishcrone, Inistioge, Inniscarra Jenkinstown (Kilkenny), Jenkinstown (Louth), Julianstown Kanturk, Keel, Kells, Kenmare, Keshcarrigan, Kilbeggan, Kilcock, Kilcoole, Kilcormac, Kilcorney, Kildare, Kilflynn, Kilkee, Kilkelly, Kilkenny, Kilkieran, Kill (Kildare), Kilkerrin, Kill (Waterford), Killadysert, Killala, Killaloe, Killarney, Killenaule, Killeshandra, Killiney, Killorglin, Killucan, Killumney, Killybegs, Kilmacthomas, Kilmaine, Kilmallock, Kilmore West, Kilmore Quay, Kilmuckridge, Kilpedder, Kilrush, Kiltamagh, Kingscourt, Kinnegad, Kinnitty, Kinnity, Kinsale, Kinvara, Knightstown, Knock, Knockanure, Knockcroghery, Knocktopher Lahinch, Lanesborough, Laytown, Leap, Lecanvey, Leigh, Leitrim Village, Leixlip, Letterkenny, Lifford, Limerick, Liscannor, Lisdoonvarna, Lismore, Lisronagh, Lissycasey, Listowel, Littleton, Longford, Loughrea, Lucan Macroom, Malahide, Mallow, Manorhamilton, Mansfieldtown, Marshalstown, Maynooth, Mayo, Meelick, Midleton, Milford, Millstreet, Miltown Malbay, Milltown Galway, Mitchelstown, Moate, Mohill, Monaghan, Monamolin, Monasterevin, Monkstown (Cork), Monkstown (Dublin), Mountmellick, Mountrath, Mountshannon, Moville, Moycarkey, Moycullen, Moylough, Moynalty, Moyne, Moyvane, Muff, Muine Bheag, Mulhuddart, Mullinavat, Mullingar, Mulrany, Murrintown, Murrisk, Muskerry Naas, Navan, Neale, Nenagh, New Ross, Newbridge, Newcastle West, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Newport, Newtowncunningham, Newtownmountkennedy, Nobber.
