Lifeguard Opportunities

Our kids should think about growing up and being a lifeguard in the years to come. Getting a lifeguard is a job of responsibility. All the dependable swimmers can get lifeguard jobs, unlike those who play other sports. The lifeguard shortage makes hiring conditions favorable. There are college scholarships for lifeguards too.

Water Polo

This video shows a lot of great exercises, but the video is a little old. Perhaps we can make some videos that are just as good or even better. Who can demonstrate? Who can hold the camera without it making the viewers sea sick?

Notes for Week 2, Lesson 7

Lesson: Assisting Self (ebook)   Lesson: Kick with other equipment, such as life jacket, PFD, water jug, ring bouey, weight, shoe, something that should not be wet (pretend it is your iPod),

Freestyle review:

32. Swim front crawl, hesitating recovery at arm pit, before entry. (Improves the high elbow position strengthens kick and assists a cleaner entry).   33. Catch-up front crawl used by some coaches to improve alignment and to lengthen stroke. Swimmer pushes off with both hands and arms extended, then pulls with right arm (or left), through the movement stopping on surface on contact with left hand (or right), which then operates as opposite hand did previously. Thus the swimmer continues. (Many coaches doubt the side-effect of this drill, which can cause a slide and glide type of stroke).

Umbrella and drivers

Face off plays, Sprinters to ball.

GOALIE Training begins in earnest. Arms of goalie go up, out of water, when the ball goes up. Solid kicking. Look at defenders. Talk to defense.
