You Can Swim, But Can You Teach It?

This dynamic teaching book shows the difference between swimming coaches and swimming teachers. You Can Swim, but Can You Teach It? helps swimmers to teach complete beginners how to swim. It starts from how to enter the pool and takes the student through each step necessary until he can float. Then the different methods of swimming are studied. The book was written after the author was consulted by a mother whose child had failed to learn how to swim, despite having many swimming lessons and the mother was about to give up. "I taught the seven-year-old lad and within two years had taught him to swim every stroke including the butterfly. At that time, I vowed to write the book, but it never materialized until the need to teach young members of staff how to teach swimming arose."
