Not a how-to manual,
By
This review is from: The Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program Manual (YMCA Swim Lessons) (Paperback)
This manual is a textbook for aquatic instructors. It assumes they have participated in the YMCA aquatic training and certification program and will use this manual to tailor classes to meet their student's needs. Part I is an overview of the Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program. Part II is devoted to the Parent/Child Program and discusses parent involvement, how to work with the children, skill development and lesson planning. Part III is devoted to the Preschool Program and discusses lesson planing, how to teach character development and specific skill development for the Pike and Eel levels and Ray and Starfish levels. The Appendix lists aquatic program guidelines for children under the age of three and gives activities, games and songs that will make the learning fun.I bought the Parent/Child and Preschool Manual because I knew that the YMCA had a successful Aquatic Program and I wanted to use their method to teach my son to swim at home. I was expecting a how-to manual or at least an outline of exercises that would teach swimming fundamentals but I found neither. For this reason I rate this book 1 star. Its target audience would more than likely rate it more favorably.

Wonderful..,

This review is from: The Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program Manual (YMCA Swim Lessons) (Paperback)
I am a swim instructor for the YMCA and there is no better swimming instruction program on the planet. We are the leading swim instruction program in the USA and I am so glad to be part of this industry. This book better equips me to teach preschoolers and their parents how to learn the basics of swimming. If your looking for a how to book, it will not fulfill that need. Place your child in swim lessons at a Y to recieve the full benefits of this program.
