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 PembrokeshireBack CrawlSome learners prefer Back Crawl because the face is clear of the water and breathing is easy. Back Crawl, with its continuous, alternating actions, is the most efficient backstroke and invariably used in backstroke competition. There are obvious similarities between Front Crawl and Back Crawl. These associations are useful when pupils are reminded of a skill or a part of a skill which is familiar to them. Body Position Key Points • supine, horizontal and streamlined • the head is pillowed in the water, ears just submerged • the head is kept still, eyes look upwards or slightly towards the feet • the chin may be tucked down slightly to help to keep the legs in the water • the hips must be close to the surface • the shoulders lean or roll into the stroke • there is a slight slope down from head to hips to keep the legs in the water • the legs tend to sway towards the pulling arm. This is kept to a minimum by an efficient leg action Leg Action The leg action helps to maintain the horizontal body position and balances the arm action. This minimises the tendency for the legs to sway from side to side. It may contribute some propulsion, Key Points • the continuous up and down alternating action is initiated at the hips • the legs work close together, big toes nearly brushing past each other • the legs are almost straight with the knees staying below the surface • the ankles are relaxed to allow the toes to point - (plantar flexed) and to in-toe naturally • the feet kick to the surface at the end of the upbeat without splashing Swimming Lessons PembrokeshireFloatingVertical Float
As the name indicates, the body is upright. This float is for those who are confident and safe in deep water and who find horizontal floating difficult. The arms are outstretched sideways and the head tilted slightly back. In undisturbed water it is possible to experiment with the effects of breathing out and breathing in, in relation to how low or high the pupils float in the water. Key Points • vertical body position • head back slightly • arms outstretched sideways Swimming Lessons PembrokeshireAber Eiddy-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Axton Hill-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Berry Hill-Pembrokeshire (near Nevern) Black Tar-Pembrokeshire (near Neyland) Broad Haven-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Bryn henllan-Pembrokeshire (near Newport) Burton-Pembrokeshire (near Neyland) Caer Farchell-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Caldey Island-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) Canaston Bridge-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Carew Cheriton-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Carew Newton-Pembrokeshire (near Cosheston) Castle Morris-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Clarbeston Road-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Cold Blow-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Cresswell Quay-Pembrokeshire (near Martletwy) Cross Hands-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Cross Inn-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) Dinas-Pembrokeshire (near Newport) Dredgeman Hill-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Dreenhill-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) East Williamston-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) Felindre Farchog-Pembrokeshire (near Newport) Freshwater East-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Golden Hill-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Haroldston West-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Hayscastle Cross-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Henrys Moat -Pembrokeshire (near Newport) Lampeter Velfrey-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Little Haven-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Little Honeyborough-Pembrokeshire (near Neyland) Little Newcastle-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Llanddewi Velfrey-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Llanfair Nant Gwyn-Pembrokeshire (near Cardigan) Lower Freystrop-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Lydstep Haven-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) Maiden Wells-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Manorbier Newton-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Merlins Bridge-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Middle Mill-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Milford Haven-Pembrokeshire New Hedges-Pembrokeshire New Hedges-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) New Moat-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Nolton Haven-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Pelcomb Bridge-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Pelcomb Cross-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Pembroke Dock-Pembrokeshire (near Neyland) Pen y cwm-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Polson Bridge-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Pont Shan-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Portfield Gate-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Porthgain-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Princes Gate-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Rannoch Station-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Robeston Wathen-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Robeston West-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Sandy Haven-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Sardis (Saundersfoot)-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) Simpson Cross-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Square and Compass-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) St Brides-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) St Davids-Pembrokeshire St Dogmaels-Pembrokeshire St Dogmaels-Pembrokeshire (near Cardigan) St Florence-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby) St Ishmaels-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) St Nicholas-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) St Petrox-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) St Twynnells-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Stop and Call-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Thomas Chapel-Pembrokeshire (near Narberth) Tiers Cross-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Tref asser-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) Trefgarn Owen-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Treleddyd fawr-Pembrokeshire (near St Davids) Upper Thornton-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Walton East-Pembrokeshire (near Haverfordwest) Walton West-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Walwyns Castle-Pembrokeshire (near Milford Haven) Welsh Hook-Pembrokeshire (near Fishguard) West Williamston-Pembrokeshire (near Pembroke) Wiseman's Bridge-Pembrokeshire (near Tenby)
