ADULT CLASS
TAKE THE PLUNGE WITH A SPLASH OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Swimming classes can offer numerous benefits for adults, including:
- Improved physical health: Swimming is an excellent form of low-impact exercise that can help adults build endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as improve cardiovascular health.
- Reduced stress: Swimming can have a calming effect on the mind and body, which can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
- Joint pain relief: Swimming can be an excellent option for adults with joint pain or other physical limitations, as the buoyancy of the water can reduce pressure on joints.
- Social connections: Swimming classes can provide an opportunity for adults to meet new people and make social connections, which can be especially valuable for those who may be feeling isolated or looking to expand their social network.
- Lifesaving skills: Learning to swim can be a lifesaving skill that can help adults stay safe in and around water, whether they are swimming recreationally or in emergency situations.
- Improved mental health: Swimming has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health, including reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Overall, swimming classes can offer adults a fun and rewarding way to improve their physical and mental health, gain confidence and social connections, and acquire valuable lifesaving skills.
What will I learn in adult class?
1. We teach water entry by jumping into the pool safely
2. Gradually, students progress to gliding in from a sitting position at the poolside at counts of 3, 5, and 7, which helps them to develop buoyancy.
Once they are comfortable with water entry, we move on to teach:
1. Students to independently hold Starfish Float for 5 counts
2. Students to independently hold Mushroom Float for 10 counts
3. Students to independently backfloat for 10 counts
4. Master rocket to back float technique
These are fundamental skills that every swimmer should master in order to progress to more advanced techniques, and we help students to learn these techniques step-by-step. By practising these techniques, students can build their confidence and develop a strong foundation for more advanced swimming skills.
At Sailfish Swim Academy, we teach basic freestyle
1. By first focusing on proper body position and kicking technique with a rocket kick for 10 counts.
2. Then, we teach the 4 hand pulls of the freestyle stroke and incorporate sidekicks to help develop the full stroke.
Once students are comfortable with these techniques, our goal is to have our students complete 2 laps of basic freestyle.
For advanced freestyle,
1. We build upon the basics by teaching alternate arm strokes for 10 meters, focusing on side-to-side rotation for better efficiency and speed.
2. We then teach the freestyle catch technique, where the hand enters the water and pulls back in a scooping motion to generate more power.
3. Finally, we emphasize the freestyle glide for 10 meters to help our students maintain momentum and speed.
These techniques will help students swim faster and with greater efficiency in the water.
1. We start teaching the basic backstroke by emphasizing proper body positioning – ears fully submerged with their chip up, tummy up, back straight, and toes pointed.
2. We instruct our students to breathe every 5 counts while performing hand pulls with their shoulders touching their ears.
Our experienced coaches will guide the students through each step, ensuring they are comfortable with the basics before progressing to advanced backstroke techniques.
For advanced backstroke,
1. We teach students the S-hand pull and rotation techniques to maximize swimming efficiency.
2. We introduce alternate hand pulls to further improve form and speed.
For basic breaststroke,
1. We emphasize proper technique for the breaststroke kick, including the W-shape bent, kick, close and glide, followed by breaststroke pull with correct hand timing.
2. We also focus on developing good arm and leg coordination, to ensure proper execution of the stroke.
As students progress to advanced breaststroke,
1. We teach them to incorporate a full glide after every kick, with their body in an up high position while breathing.
2. Additionally, we work towards students being able to glide every stroke for 4 laps, which requires a high level of stamina, endurance, and mastery of the breaststroke technique.
Our experienced coaches provide personalized attention and feedback to help students improve their technique and achieve their goals.
For basic butterfly,
1. We begin with the caterpillar exercise, which involves emulating a wave-like motion with the body five times.
2. Next is the cocoon exercise, where the hands are brought forward and the chest is pushed downwards to emulate a wave-like motion. Once the basic techniques are mastered,
3. We teach the butterfly stroke with proper hand pulls.
For advanced butterfly, we focus on synchronizing the arms and legs to achieve the stroke momentum.
1. Students will be able to swim six laps of butterfly with momentum stroke and alternate their breathing to improve their endurance and technique.
Our experienced coaches are dedicated to ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and guidance throughout the learning process.
