Why are so many swim lessons ineffective? Often, instructors are taught swimming skills but not teaching skills. In this 60-second clip, the instructor uses: ✔️ Demonstration ✔️ Check for understanding ✔️ Learning cues ✔️ Start signals ✔️ Specific feedback ✔️ Maximum practice time These teaching strategies help children learn faster and more effectively. Learn them all in the Swim Lessons University Foundations of Teaching course. 🎓 Just $50 SwimLessonsUniversity.com #SwimInstructor #LearnToSwim #Aquatics

Water safety shouldn't be an occasional lesson—it should be part of every swim lesson. In this short PSA, I demonstrate one way we incorporate water safety into the Swim Lessons University program. Every lesson is an opportunity to build safer habits. 💦🏊 #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #LearnToSwim

Are your students struggling to learn the Breaststroke and Butterfly? Make no mistake about it—Breaststroke and Butterfly are two of the most challenging strokes for children to master. Why is Breaststroke so difficult? One reason is the inherent complexity of the stroke itself, which is beyond an instructor's control. The second reason, however, is completely controllable. While many swim instructors know how to swim Breaststroke, successfully teaching it requires specialized teaching techniques, proven progressions, and effective drills that dramatically improve student success. Why is Butterfly so challenging? Like Breaststroke, Butterfly is a highly complex stroke. Swimmers must coordinate the timing of the breath, kick, arm entry, head position, and shoulder movement during recovery. Teaching these components effectively requires a developmentally appropriate approach and a clear progression that helps students master each skill step by step. Become a More Effective Stroke Instructor Upon successful completion of this video course, you'll add a powerful set of teaching tools, strategies, and developmentally sound methods to your instructional toolbox. You'll learn proven techniques for teaching both Breaststroke and Butterfly more effectively, helping your students achieve success faster and with less frustration. Included in Our Enhanced eLearning Platform ✅ 1 Detailed Lesson Plan PDF ✅ 12 Video Chapters ✅ 1 Certification Exam ✅ Course Certificate (upon passing the exam) ✅ Accessible on Computer, Tablet, or Mobile Device We've combined several of our most popular products into one comprehensive certification course that provides everything you need to begin teaching Breaststroke and Butterfly immediately. Previously sold separately for $95.00, this newly packaged course is available for just $50.00—a savings of $45.00! Enroll today and take your stroke instruction to the next level.
