Teaching the Foundations of Swimming

This MiniLab is designed for:

✓ Learn-to-Swim instructors
✓ Swimming teachers and coaches working with developing swimmers
✓ Coaches wanting stronger progressions before formal stroke mechanics
✓ Coaches looking for practical tools they can use in the pool environment
✓ Coaches completing relevant professional development / CPD

By the end of this MiniLab, you will have explored how to:

• Build buoyancy, balance, body position and streamline before stroke development
• Develop breath control and confidence in the water
• Build feel for the water through sculling and purposeful movement
• Develop propulsion before rushing into formal stroke mechanics
• Create positive early aquatic experiences
• Build clearer progression pathways for developing swimmers
• Support longer-term participation across aquatic disciplines
