First Stroke Aquatics’ Post

New project about to start… A new journey in which I am about to train a puppy to become an operational workingdog.

I'm pleased to say most of you got this one right! 👏 The correct answer is C: £250k ✅ However, for an odd 30-40% of you - let me explain the trap you may have fallen into 👀👇 ➡️ You missed the fact it was a niece and NOT a direct descendant (child or grandchild). In this case, the RNRB would not apply here ❌ This just goes to show the importance of reading the question thoroughly before diving into your answer! 🤔 Making these small tweaks in your strategy before exam day is essential, so let me know... What topics do you want to be quizzed on next? 💻

Submersions is always a hot topic in the swim world - times are changing and the old style of cueing and adult-led gliding under the water is understood not to be child-led and is fast becoming obsolete….but what do you do to evolve your current practices without causing confusion for you swimmers, the parents and your teaching team?? Come along to an Aqua Education Academy ‘Trauma Free Submersion’ day, that’s what you do 🙌 We look at: • The history and psychology of submersions • Conditioning and Cueing • Chemical Responses and Memory • Reflexes and child development • Facial sensitivity • Evolving current practices • Introducing child-led exercises from day 1 …and lots of conversation and discussion in between. Submersion practices need to change on an industry and world wide level…🌈💙

It's Meet Day!! (Okay, maybe you don't have a meet today but let's imagine it's meet day for fun) You are running the show and you have a million things going on. There are always those parents (they may be new to swim meets) and it feels like they are asking you a thousand questions at the wrong time. Feel's pretty overwhelming right? These new families are a part of your program's success! It is time to bring these new parents into the fold. We want to do this in a way that doesn't burden you. We have created a Parent Spectator Checklist for you to tee up the basics for what your parents should be doing, when they should be doing them, and how to do them! Grab your FREE copy today and make sure every swim parent feels like an integral part of the day! Download here: https://lnkd.in/gJ-w_U7P

Diving into homeschooling, we weave history into every lesson, seeing education through the unfolding story of human evolution. My blog is a personal account of how we're nurturing not just academically enriched minds, but empathetic hearts and curious souls. #HomeschoolingJourney https://wix.to/939eu59

The power of outdoor education, the joy of being at one with nature. We must look at how we continue to try and “contain”children in classrooms and give them more access to the outside for learning. Being outdoors resets our nervous systems and regulates our emotions. Let’s get outdoors more, let’s open our children’s eyes and get them learning outside with curiosity and joy. https://lnkd.in/ebDaf263

Understand Horses presents a webinar with social scientist Tamzin Furtado PhD on the human challenges and coping strategies of keeping your horse on an imperfect livery yard (boarding barn/stables). Life at livery – it’s not always perfect! There are two things people mainly struggle with at livery; needing to compromise on the choices you would ideally make for your horse, and dealing with the pressures of other people. Based on the results of several years of research by human behaviour researcher Tamzin Furtado, this webinar will explore how we can manage both situations. This webinar is suitable for people who keep their horses at livery, as well as livery yard managers themselves. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eZqKqBQH #horses #liveryyards
