Swim Instructor Training: Rotation Method and Discussion
Set up your lane
1st person starts in the lane’s corner.
Everyone else lines up along the lane line.
#1 pushes off, does their activity, then moves over. Returns to the back of the line.
#2 can begin with the person ahead of them crosses the black line to the other side of the lane.
You can do anything when you return. Stay out of the way.
Set up your lane review.
First person goes in the right hand side of the lane. Everyone else lines up along the opposite side of the lane, near lane line. When the first person takes their turn, wait until they cross the center line, then second person takes their turn. Keep going until everyone has done their activity.
What are some benefits to the rotation method?
Is it okauy to not give feedback when a participant returns to the class location?
Can two participants go to the instructor at the same time? Cna you think of a safe way to accomplish this?
