Angelfish Are you a swim instructor or aquatics professional having trouble teaching a child with sensory, motor, or anxiety issues how to swim?
For many children, teaching swim strokes simply isn’t enough.
Before you can teach the child, you need to reach the child. And to do that, you need to understand how a child experiences the water.
We all had to feel comfortable and in control on our feet before we could learn to walk. Likewise, every child has to feel comfortable and in control in the water before he or she can learn to swim. But kids with sensory, motor, and/or anxiety issues find comfort and control hard to come by.
The Swim Whisperers® DVD + Study Guide will show you how to overcome the obstacles that prevent children with issues like these from being safe, confident, and independent swimmers.
Order Swim Whisperers in June July, and receive a printed copy of the Study Guide at no extra cost. This guide covers all of the concepts presented on the DVD, breaking swimming obstacles down into 14 key areas …
- Safety concerns
- Water properties as they relate to the sensory system
- “I can’t touch that!”
- Making a child go under water successfully
- “What did I say?”
- “How do I control my body?”
- “I’m not going on my back!”
- Seeking sensory input
- Petrified to let go of the side
- Engagement and interaction
