GET INTO THE POOL

If you have access to a pool then get into it and get wet… practice makes perfect.
The videos I prepared show a demonstration style skill for a number of skills. Note the exaggerated movements and breaking up the skill into small parts. Your student will only pick up part of your demonstration, hence the exaggerated demonstrations. I urge you to practice all your skills to this level, which is what we call demonstration style quality.
