Product Description
This "AUSTSWIM" text provides guidelines for swimming instructors and parents of infants and toddlers. Aquatic education experts describe children's motor, cognitive and emotional development during six stages from newborn to preschool. Instructors are coached on how to structure lessons and activities based on the stages of development. The text also addresses controversial issues concerning water safety and submersion of infants and toddlers, as well as the role that adults play in early aquatic experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative about what to expect!, 13 Jan 2001
Running a Swimming School in the UK I was very interested in how the Australians approach swimming for 'litle ones'. The book makes clear age definitions giving teachers an exact picture of what to expect from children at different stages in their development. There is plenty of information on Health and Safety issues in a clear format that can be used by any teaching organisation. Parents are included in every aspect of the teaching and parent/teacher communication is encouraged. The book has clear and precise lesson plans to follow for each age band with a checklist from the programes.
