  1. Swimming

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI will have students demonstrate their level of comfortability in the water, whether that is just being in the water to their shoulders or putting their head underwater.
Lesson 2-3I will have students practice pushing off the wall, and doing various skills underwater as comfortable
Lesson 4-10I will teach students arm and leg motions for freestyle and have them practice them separately with support from me and a kick board as necessary and eventually have students put the skills together, still with support from me and potentially the kick board.
Lesson 11+Students will continue to practice freestyle with progressively less assistance and will progress to practicing various entries and dives if students are comfortable.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonI will have students demonstrate each of their strokes to get an idea of where they’re at and discuss with student their goals for swimming and which strokes they want to focus on.
Lesson 2-3I will have students practice their breathing technique and practice changing their breathing pattern and will also practice underwaters in a complete swim set format.

Swimming with Cole W.New to TeachMe.To
Lesson 4-10
I will work with students on their turns and body position for each stroke and will potentially work on dives and starts as well in a complete swim set format.
Lesson 11+I will have students run some speed work or distance work sets based on student goals and will add and tighten intervals as necessary.

Youth players
Working with kidsI make sure to meet the kids where they are in terms of comfort level with swimming and with support from me.

Working with teenagersI often provide slightly more advanced lessons or sets based on comfort level, and provide less direct support to help students have more of a feeling of doing it on their own.

What you need to bringStudents need to bring a pair of goggles that fits them, a towel, and any additional flotation devices they need to feel comfortable in the water.

What I can bringI can bring a kick board and extra goggles

About your swimming instructor

I have been swimming since I was 9 years old, and have loved it as soon as I jumped in the pool. I also taught swim lessons at my community pool for three years before moving into coaching swim for the year-round swim team that practiced at my Community College where I was attending at the time. I have worked with all different levels of swimmers as well as many different age groups. I am enthusiastic and patient, and understand the importance of working with my swimmers to set their goals.
