6/14-6/27/15: Safety

Some of the skills we will learn in order of difficulty are:

• Following directions and taking turns
  
• Swimming without goggles
• Falling into the pool (expected/unexpected)
  
• Swimming back to the steps/wall
  
• Remaining in back float even when face gets splashed
  
• Recovering from a sinking back float
• Treading Water
• Finding back float rests in open water
  
• Swimming long distances even when tired

Practicing Falling Off of the Wall

Kids will perform skills to earn coins and "shop" for fun games.  We will keep the atmosphere light as we practice more difficult safety skills.

Swim
Swimmers will be focusing on safety techniques in a controlled environment.  This will look different for each level, but every student will do at least one swim without goggles.  Since some of these skills are scary or difficult, we will include extra time for fun games.

Climb
Climbers will be practicing safety skills.  Everyone will learn age/level appropriate skills. The majority of each class will be spent bouldering.  

Some of the skills we will work on are:

• Climbing gym Rules
• Climbing Etiquette
• Be Aware games
• Down climbing
• Gymnastic Falling technique
• Spotting for bouldering
• Choosing appropriate Grades
• Recognizing a proper Figure 8 Knot
• Toprope Partner Check

Yoga
We are continuing Thich Nhat Hanh's Pebble Meditation and kids will bring home their own bag of pebbles for home practice at the end of the series.
