I hope my days are right. My clock is all mixed up. Day 5 included instruction in butterfly and breastroke for me and Georgina. I felt better than ever in fly! Couldn't believe the difference in how the focal point drills let to a smoother, efficient and graceful stroke. Got lots of kudos for how it looked, and was encouraged to enter 100 & 200 yd fly races in swim meets. I have hope that may actually happen! I gave private lessons to advanced and beginning swimmers, as well as observed Terry giving them to a long-time student.
Saturday was an "Easy Freestlye Workshop." It lasts 6 hours and takes someone through the process to developing an efficient stroke. We were assistant instructors, providing a significant amount of teaching, along with the supervision of senior coaches. It was so rewarding to see the students get it, and leave with the tools and enthusiasm to pursue their passion for swimming. Things clicked for me, also, so my confidence is high in serving as an effective TI instructor.
My first private lesson is already scheduled for next Saturday in Raleigh, and I will be assisting in a weekend workshop at the end of the month. Word.
