"SUE NAMI'S SWIMMING JOURNEY" "TEACHING WATER AWARENESS and SWIMMING FUNDAMENTALS OUTSIDE OF THE WATER." is a PRE-K, how-to book, preswim class, designed for home school, daycare teachers and parents who want to start the water awareness conversation and prepare the children for their water experience. To build confidence around the water, what to do when their face gets wet, how to recover and even propel themselves BEFORE they even get in the water.
No pool required; however, bathtubs and buckets are welcome, making everyday a swim class day. Appropriate for children 15 months and older.
Sue Nami ventures on an educational journey to learn how her wildlife friends breathe, balance, streamline and move in the water. An adventure that discovers fun and funny animal facts, which helps Nami learn and teach the basic fundamentals and foundations of swimming. Nami will demonstrate swimming drills and encourage your child to practice with her, outside of the water.
I wrote "Sue Nami's Swimming Journey" Teaching Water Awareness and Swimming FUNdamentals Outside of the Water" as a new type of swim class, a pre-swim class. Due to the pandemic and physical distancing, too many children are not able to start regular swim class with trained swim instructors or coaches.
We can't risk children not getting swim lessons because of the pandemic or for many children and families who are located in geographic and climate challenged areas. There is no wrong time for getting children ready to understand the Fundamentals and foundations to swimming, even if it's Outside of the Water.
Sue Nami's journey and swim practice is a child's first introduction to water and their aquatic journey. A pre-swim class and a parent's guide to start the swim lesson conversation with their children, with emphasis on:
Chapter 1: proper breathing in the water with advise from Nami's wildlife friends.
Chapter 2: proper body position, streamline & balance. Train and learn to recover in the water with advise from Nami's wildlife friends.
Chapter 3: proper propulsion, how to move through the water, with kicking and strokes in a proper body position and to manipulate the water so you can find your streamline balance and recover, so you can take a breath. Nami's wildlife friends teach her valuable lessons.
