Kid 1
Swimmer: Jacob Piatek
Previous Level: Sunfish
Core Plan:
• Jacob is very comfortable in the water. He is able to do basic front crawl. My
focus for Jacob is his back float, he tend to sink a lot, so I would like to get
him to grasp all the back skill.
Swimmer: Owen Watson
Previous Level: Level 1
Core Plan:
• Owen attempted level 1 many times at public swimming. The reason why he is
still in level 1 is because he is afraid to put his face in the water. My focus
with him is going to be different from Jacob. I’m going to attempt different
practices with him to have him feel comfortable with face in water until full
submerged.
