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.

Underwater Practices

Submerging the face in the water is crucial to the development of prone swimming strokes and skills. It is essential, therefore that the skill is developed at the earliest opportunity. Many games can be adapted to include submerging opportunities. The activities are as varied as the teacher's imagination.

The following are few examples:-

• washing the face

• pouring water over the head e.g., sponges, watering cans

• blowing bubbles

• humming and singing under water

• bobbing up and down

• touching the floor with different body parts

• picking up objects from the bottom of the pool

• passing through hoops

• talking to a partner

• pulling faces under water

Front Crawl

Front 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

Floating

Prone Float

swimming lessons - floating

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
