This illustrated book offers complete step-by-step instructions for both parents and swim instructors. Techniques range from introducing babies to the water to teaching older children all major strokes and diving.
The book is unique because it tells how to calm children's fears. It is easy for children to feel threatened in a new, unfamiliar environment by fears of safety or failure. The book's techniques help children build positive, empowered attitudes about the water, swimming and themselves.
The author, Berna Bennett, has been teaching swimming for over 25 years and has taught over 2,000 children. "Over the years, I developed techniques that produced positive results," said Bennett. "I learned through trial and error, constantly trying out new ideas and learning from my students."
When originally published in 1997, "A Gentle Approach to Teaching Children to Swim" sold out its printing, with purchases from across the United States and internationally.
The 75-page book has been captured as a 430-kb PDF document, or "e-book." Payment can be made with a major credit card through PayPal. The book is made available for rapid download typically within minutes of payment.
