Book excerpt: An Oprah Editor's Pick and NPR Best Book of the Year From the author of the award-winning and word-of-mouth sensation Our Endless Numbered Days comes an exhilarating literary mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final page. Ingrid Coleman writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, but instead of giving them to him, she hides them in the thousands of books he has collected over the years. When Ingrid has written her final letter she disappears from a Dorset beach, leaving behind her beautiful but dilapidated house by the sea, her husband, and her two daughters, Flora and Nan. Twelve years later, Gil thinks he sees Ingrid from a bookshop window, but he’s getting older and this unlikely sighting is chalked up to senility. Flora, who has never believed her mother drowned, returns home to care for her father and to try to finally discover what happened to Ingrid. But what Flora doesn’t realize is that the answers to her questions are hidden in the books that surround her. Scandalous and whip-smart, Swimming Lessons holds the Coleman family up to the light, exposing the mysterious truths of a passionate and troubled marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swimming is a widely popular sport and activity with great health-related fitness benefits. Yet, a significant percentage of children are unable to swim with any degree of skill—meaning not only are they missing out on health benefits, but they also are at risk when in water. Part of that risk comes from receiving either no instruction or no differentiated instruction. Children receiving swimming lessons are commonly grouped by age or grade, and many lack the basic skills required for their age levels. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming solves this problem by offering differentiated instruction for every participant in your class or program, based on each participant’s aquatic developmental level. Through this illustrated book, you will be able to • use an assessment tool to evaluate the initial skill level of every participant, • place each participant in the appropriate level, and • teach skills through fun activities and monitor each participant’s skill acquisition along the way. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming will help you accommodate nearly all of your participants’ abilities. With the six-level tool you will be able to assess initial aquatic performance levels for children with and without disabilities and provide appropriate activities to help participants develop their skills. The book is presented in two parts. Part I offers teaching strategies to help you maximize the aquatic experience for swimmers with and without disabilities. It also guides you in selecting the assessment and activity level so that you can provide a fun and successful experience for all swimmers. Part II lays out six distinct levels, from developing and building on initial skills to learning and refining specific strokes. Some skills are introduced early on and then repeated in a more difficult form at a later level. The final level focuses on longer-distance swimming, flip turns, competitive swimming, and prerequisite skills for lifeguard training. These six levels, along with the assessment instruments, accommodate most participants’ abilities. You’ll find the assessment instruments and activities very easy to use. Even those who have not been trained as instructors or teachers can implement the activities regardless of the swimmers’ levels. Assessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming can help all participants take part in safe, fun aquatic activities that will improve their health-related fitness and well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated October of 2019, this is Swimming Ideas' latest training workbook for new and veteran swimming instructors and coaches. In this latest edition, you'll see an all-new format focusing on pictures and key points. There are discussion items to talk about with peers in a group training session, or one-on-one if reviewing with a manager. We learn through visual references and this book is full of custom-drawn illustrations and pictures directly addressing the most important skills in swimming. Teaching swimming lessons and running a swim team can be difficult. There are so many variables and things to consider. Getting new staff and veteran instructors all on the same page can be a struggle. Run your swim program using this book for every member of your staff to teach a standard range of skills and speak the same words. You might have ten children in the water or five adults. Knowing how to communicate, which skills to work on, and how to follow an effective incremental progression is hard. Swimming Ideas is here to help. I've trained hundreds of new staff on how to teach swimming, and have compiled a long list of skills, terms, and techniques to make swimming instruction more effective in a new teacher's hands. Want to teach your 16-year-old novice how to teach a swim lesson so you aren't cringing and biting your nails as you watch? Give them this book to review the discussion items together, and evaluate their understanding with four included worksheets. Not sure how you describe the nuance and importance of using command language in your classes? Use this training workbook and discuss how to be a better communicator. Did you just hire a swim instructor that has never taught a lesson before and doesn't even know what a front glide is? Maybe they've never heard of streamline. Give them a copy of this training workbook and they'll learn the 15 essential swim skills and how to teach them. From language, scripts, pictures, and guides, this training guide has it all.
