Book excerpt: Teach Yourself Or Your Child To Swim At Home Without A Pool is designed to help parents and grandparents and adults who never learned how to swim well more water safety and swimming skills. In rural and low income urban and suburban areas where there is no pool or quality instructors, this book shows how you can easily start learning how to swim at home without a pool. A kitchen sink, dressing mirror, mattress, and a bathtub are used to overcome fears and anxiety to become familiar with all the necessary swimming skills. Then you can easily transfer those same skills to the shallow end of a lake or pool where you can stand up wearing goggles to see the bottom and your arm strokes. Most parents spend time teaching their kids backyard sports skills they transfer to the playing field or court. This is no different and another way for parents to get more out of swim lessons. The problem is that most instructors are young and inexperienced and are not competitive swimmers to know the correct visual, verbal, or kinesthetic feeling cues I use to get faster longer-lasting results. Even if you think you know how to swim, this book will help you learn to be more efficient for your health and safety. You can easily swim laps in a pool into your 80's and 90's without the wear and tear on your joints running and other sports bring. This book is ideal for Active Lifestyles, parents, grandparents, beginners, non-swimmers, instructors, and competitive Masters, Senior Olympians, Triathletes, and Age-Group Swimmers.
