But how do they help?

I see a lot of text. People don’t read.

The Streamline Visual Skill Sheet is part of the free download. It is an excellent tool to print on indestructible paper and then use in the water without fear of it dissolving or tearing.

We use the Streamline skill sheet for all of our Level 2, 3, 4, and Developmental swim teams. Coaches and swim instructors use the sheet to remind themselves on the 3 steps to a good streamline and swimmers use the visual images and language as a reference between attempts.

You can see what a streamline is and then the three steps to doing one well in a matter of seconds! Now you can teach a complex, crucial, fundamental swimming skill without worrying about how you’re going to teach it on your own.

Our swim lesson plans and visual skill sheets are designed to use images and predictable formulas to remove the mental barriers involved in creating your own documents and training. We want you and your swimmers to learn quickly, well, and with a focus on fun!

I see a lot of text.

• At first, we need to detail the exact steps to do each activity.
• As mastery and familiarity grows the reliance on the description decreases
• Instructors will eventually look at the title and know what to do.

Yes! There is text. It is condensed and concise directed exactly what the instructor needs to know in varying degrees. Let’s break down these lesson plans and give you a look at the different pieces inside each “box.”
