(1) The Swimtravel PH scientific swimming and teaching method, based from and certified in Europe, but has been continuously developed here in the Philippines, is designed as such that
our coaches won’t be needing to be in
the pool with their students to teach
them how to swim.
We steer away from the traditional, sometimes outdated, forms of teaching.
We want our students to move independently and realize that they can
float effortlessly without relying to any floaters!
(2) Our coaches will be able to guide, teach, and give the proper feedback if they see their students’ every movement, from their heads to their toes.
That is the VERY REASON why our coaches are positioned in a place where it is
elevated – above the pool.
This is contrary to the old-fashioned belief that the coaches must be in the pool with their students in order to guide them more properly. Being in the pool with the students, especially while handling group classes, are more vulnerable to blind spots. The coaches won’t be able to see and correct the student’s movement efficiently while in the pool.
(3) Another reason is that it is for every student’s safety. If the coaches are in an elevated position, they would be able to see all corners of the deep pool, thus will be able to see everything that is happening within the pool. Like we have said, there are no blind spots. Rest assured, all our coaches underwent extensive training in the deep pool and are very capable of saving you. Our coaches are Philippine National Athletes and competitive swimmers. 🇵🇭
(4) We trained our coaches to know how to clearly and effectively communicate their swimming instructions and techniques to their students. They don’t simply just give out instructions and ask their students to blindly follow or just copy their movements, but they make sure that the students understand why each and every movement is important. Poor communication skills ruin the overall quality of teaching.
However if the student is having difficulty, rest assured that when the need arises to actually dip in the pool, our coaches would be willing and happy to do so. ✌🏼
