Teaching is interesting! Musings of a New Swimming Coach
In recent years, swimming has become a very popular course to take. I was a competitive swimmer until my high school days and have competed in the Olympic trials. I am currently using this experience to teach the joy of swimming to people, from children to the elderly, as a part-time instructor. I would like to describe this experience.
When I look at the children who come to my lessons, I see that each of them has different athletic skills, understandings, and personalities. Also, when I first started teaching, I found that some of my students couldn¨t follow my techniques when I taught them. So then, I broke down my swimming skills I had honed from a beginner's perspective and analyzed what I could not do when I was a beginner. As a result, I realized that even if I gave everyone the same instructions, not everyone would be able to swim well. In order to teach people the techniques, I needed to know what they did not understand and how to give them approaches and hints to attain the desired swimming techniques using different methods.
So, I changed my approach to my students and tried to teach the 'joy of swimming'. When we become frustrated trying to learn techniques, we focus on what we can't do. At such times, it is the emotion of fun that reignites our motivation. When I tried to teach struggling students to improve their techniques through playful and fun exercises, they became more focused and determined during the lessons, and I began to see signs of improvement in their techniques.
From these experiences, I have found a key principle: ^Teaching is to understand techniques from multiple perspectives and to convey the joy of developing them ̄.
