Swimming is certainly a skill-driven sport and the efficiency of your stroke is the key to success - Mummy remembers this from all her swimming days, both in the pool and teaching. Joshua is certainly being taught the correct technique and has from the beginning so hopefully it is laying the foundations for future swimming success and enjoyment. His teacher told him tonight that the only way for him to swim faster is to increase his efficiency in the water by improving his technique - think this instruction was a little lost on a 7 year old!
However, we have progressed from freestyle and backstroke to now learning the kicking technique for breaststroke and the kick and arm movements for butterfly - very challenging !
Beautiful backstroke - Josh simply glides through the water and his arms are brilliant
Learning the breastroke kick - not sure what his left foot is doing ?!?!?
As for butterfly, well let's call this work in progress !
