The essential teaching video for coaches, learn-to-swim instructors, and parents.
Steve Haufler is widely recognized as one of the best stroke teachers in the world. In GO SWIM TEACHING PROGRESSIONS, Steve shares his secrets for taking swimmers from floating to whole-stroke swimming...in each of the four strokes.
Steve’s teaching progressions are amazingly simple and lead to fast
results. They are based on more than 30 years of observation of the
technique of world-class swimmers, and on Steve’s unique understanding
of how children and adults learn new skills.
Steve’s progressions have proven effective for thousands of swimmers --
from beginner to advanced, age-group to Masters. They REALLY
WORK...and can be incorporated IMMEDIATELY into any lesson plan.
This video presents a simple 5-step teaching progression for each
stroke -- butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. For each
stroke, you’ll learn Steve’s “bag of tricks” for teaching the correct
body position...kick...arm action...timing...and breathing. You’ll see
how these correct positions and motions look from multiple angles --
side, head-on, below, and rear -- and from above and below the
surface.
By watching Steve as he gives unrehearsed lessons to real swimmers, you’ll learn how to make effective use of:
• Visual Cues
• Verbal Cues (word pictures of how the swimmer should feel or
what he will look like when he’s doing something correctly)
• Guided Movements
• Visual and Positive Feedback
• Mantras (Steve’s simple and easy-to-remember phrases that can
be repeated in the swimmer’s mind to speed the learning process)
By watching Steve Haufler, you will come away with dozens of inventive
and creative ideas for teaching stroke technique. He will help you
become a more effective teacher and coach...guaranteed!
