March 2019: Core Strength, Core Values, Butterfly

We're hanging out with our furry friends today.  We'll find homes for cute puppies, stretch out like cats, and track our progress with dog bones.  The 4 legged swimmer above is from Seth Casteel's book "Underwater Dogs-Kids Edition".  Pure awesomeness.  His "Underwater Babies" photos encourage families to get kids into swim lessons early.  I like it!
Are your kids dying to climb with Pete the Cat?  
​Sign up for a trial climbing or drop in yoga class!
Schedule
Climb
Climbers will be building core strength and learning about conditioning.  Each class will cover age/level appropriate skills.  Class time will be split between top rope, bouldering, and floor exercises. ​
  • Identifying & using Pinch holds
  • Recognizing & climbing on Vertical walls
  • Identifying your Core
  • Climbing with a "Jelly Belly" vs "Tight Core"
  • Core Strengthening exercises 
  • Choosing Body Positions that push the hips into the wall
  • Perseverance
Yoga
  • Core Virtues Overview including: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship
  • Bendy Puppy Sequence
  • Sitting tall & strong
  • Core Strengthening Poses: boat, side plank, cobra, four-limbed staff, camel, chair, crescent lunge
Swim
Getting our wiggles out in the pool.  We'll be strengthening the core and playing with the wave-like movement of butterfly.  Some of the stigma of the "most difficult" stroke can be removed when introduced at a young age!!  Fins will be used to increase momentum. 


All students will work on age/level appropriate skills.  Some of the things we will learn in order of difficulty are:
  • Beginning dolphin kick (Wiggles)
  • Assisted Dolphin Dives
  • Butterfly Kick with streamlining
  • Treading with dolphin kick
  • Butterfly Arms
  • Full Butterfly Stroke with breathing
  • Butterfly Drills and Technique improvement
  • Incorporating the dolphin kick into Starts & Turns
