Why Is Correct Head Rotation So Important For Kids When Comes To Breathing On The Side

When rotating to breathe, your head should turn with the rest of your shoulders, rather than over-rotating. Head and body rotation should take place along the long axis, or imaginary line running through the swimmer's body from head to toe. You need only rotate your head enough to get your mouth out of the water enough to take in air.......

There`s Always A Challenge......

Not every kid is the same. I have to figure out what motivates them, what scares them, and tailor every lesson to meet their needs.
