Teaching Adults to Swim: Using the Flash Aquatic Swim Technique--The Perfect Guide for Swim Instructors

Brian Fagan

In the United States, more than half of adults either cannot swim or do not possess all the basic swimming skills. Teaching Adults to Swim provides swim instructors with lesson plans, tips, and advice that will help their adult swim students to overcome their fear of the water and learn to swim. Using his Flash Aquatic Swim Technique, swim coach Brian "Flash" Fagan provides detailed instruction for the swim instructor to use when teaching adults to swim. With comprehensive lesson plans, instructors are guided on how to teach the four main swim strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. This book is the instructor's guide to troubleshooting fear of the water or correcting poor swimming skills. There are even chapters on workouts to build stamina and swim equipment so that the student can easily transition from beginner to intermediate swimmer. By using Brian's teaching method, instructors can quickly put their students at ease in the water. Their students will be swimming the length of the pool, treading water, and even jumping into the deep end with confidence.
