Asctaconvention 2017 asctaCONVENTION 2017 26 APRIL - 4 MAY SOFITEL GOLD COAST ABSTRACT BANNER CurrentYOUR as SAMPLEof 5 December TEXT HERE 2016 AB B A An investment in your own education is one of the wisest investments you can ever make. With an event that is the envy of the aquatics industry and Swim Schools around the world, why wouldn’t you want to come to asctaCONVENTION 2017 on the Gold Coast in the lead up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games? Jay Johnston, General Manager ASCTA Development and the Convenor of asctaCONVENTION 2017 has continued his efforts on behalf of ASCTA and Swim Australia to deliver the best presenters, convention schedule, social events and activities for these events. Every year the team strive to go that bit further and this year is no exception. Free WiFi, live streaming, drones in the air, a revamped Convention App, free functions and lunches included all make a return. Added to this year’s mix will be tours of the Commonwealth Games facilities including a peek behind the scenes, and no doubt there will be a few surprises similar to last year when Borobi, the Commonwealth Games mascot turning up with 170 other people to our Awards dinner. Who knew that gum leaves were on the menu! We have worked extremely hard this year to secure high profile and well recognised key international presenters to the Gold Coast. Thanks must go to Swimming Australia for their financial assistance which is further evidence of their recognition of the significant contribution that Coaches, Teachers and Swim Schools make to the sport of swimming and the success of swimming clubs. Our high profile national Coaches and leaders in the Swim School sector will be in attendance throughout the event as they too value the lessons that the event provides. Many attendees say the event keeps them invigorated for a whole year with the ideas and strategies they gain. The opportunities abound to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances. The venue is on the tramline which enable attendees to easily move up and down the Gold Coast strip. High quality and low cost meal venues are plentiful and the revamped Jupiter’s Casino and the magnificent refurbished and expanded 5 star Pacific Fair shopping centre are only a short walk away. Jay and Swim Australia Executive Officer, Gary Toner have worked conjointly to develop a program for Swim Australia registered Swim Schools which is relevant and progressive in delivering content that challenges and expands the strong base of our industry. Of particular note is an expanded and updated presentation on the previous survey results presented last convention into trends and patterns in Swim Schools with over 100 Swim Schools participating in a significant research project providing imperial data on which to base targeted and effective marketing, focus attention and improve cost efficiencies within Swim Schools. Swimming and water safety Teachers will have the opportunity to listen to world-leading Teachers presenting on a range of topics, engage in many practical sessions and specialist niche group teaching streams which are the envy of Teachers around the world.

After two years of uncertainty, the council-owned cattle selling facility was saved from permanent closure after elected members backed a motion to keep the gates open conditional on the yards maintaining a yearly throughput of 8500. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, elected members resumed discussion on a motion by cattle producer and Councillor Moira Neagle to continue the operations of the facility until 2025, de- velop a management plan for the faculty and consider recurrent funding for capi- tal upgrades. But Penola-based Rick Paltridge - who has been a vocal opponent of continuing the saleyards - told the chamber he had spoken to “numerous people around the region” including stock agents, truck drivers, meat buyers and farmers who he claimed believed the saleyards should be closed down.

  • Environmental Effects and Considerations Senses
    Environmental Effects and Considerations The aquatic environment in which newborn, babies, toddlers and preschoolers play and learn may promote or inhibit their ongoing water familiarisation and aquatic skill development. In part, this will depend on many environmental factors which accumulatively determine whether the child has a positive or negative experience. This Unit of Study will reflect on these factors and discuss the various aspects of many of them. It must also be remembered that many of these factors also impact upon the child in their home environment; in aquatic play with caregivers at any location as well as more formal water familiarisation or swimming and water safety lessons. A safe, comfortable, non-threatening environment will promote positive outcomes and enhance learning as well as make good business sense for Swim School operators. Senses People primarily determine their like or dislike of their surroundings through sensory feedback. People primarily sense through the six exteroceptive (external) senses: 1. Sight 2. Sound 3. Smell 4. Taste 5. Touch/feel 6. Balance To a lesser extent people also receive feedback via interoceptive (internal) senses such as pain and the stretching of internal organs. These senses could play a role as a result of ingesting water and the stomach becoming distended. The third aspect of sensory feedback is proprioception which provides feedback solely on the status of the body internally. This is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other. The ears, eyes, muscles, ligaments and skin provide sensory information in order to guide your body enabling smooth movements, body balance, good posture, and automatically react to the immediate surrounds.
