  • Swim-Lesson-Plans-By-Intheswim-Blog.Pdf
    This article is written for parents who wish to teach their children how to swim – in their own pool. We encourage you to study more how to teach swimming to your children, by also visiting our Recommended Resources listed after the conclusion of this article. Swim Lesson Planning & Preparation Teaching kids how to swim requires only a few instruments, first and foremost being a swimming pool. Teaching your child how to swim could be more fun in groups. As you make your annual / seasonal swim lesson plans, spread the word to other parents who may like to join- in. For Swim Students: 1. Swimsuit. Take them shopping for their new swimsuit each year, and instruct them never to go swimming without wearing a swimsuit. Teach that swimming in clothes and shoes is unsafe. 2. Sunscreen. Protect their skin while they are in the pool or on the pool deck. A tight fitting swim shirt or large hat can also be used to protect the skin from too much sun. 3. Kickboard. For use when learning simple strokes and for kicking exercises, a foam kickboard (not inflatable) can be used in multiple ways during a swim lesson. 4. Swim Diaper. For those not yet potty trained, a swim diaper, worn over a regular diaper. 5. Good Health. Delay the lesson if your child has an illness or needs a nap. 6. Towel. And dry clothing to change into after the lesson is over. For Swim Teachers: 1. Swimming Pool. Learning to swim in lakes, streams and oceans can be unsafe, due to deep mud, currents and riptides.

  • Emmi-Sofia Kangas the USE of PERFORMANCE ENHANCING
    1 Emmi-Sofia Kangas THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING SWIMWEAR DURING AQUA THERAPY FOR CEREBRAL PALSY – A CASE STUDY Degree Programme in Physiotherapy 2016 2 THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING SWIMWEAR DURING AQUA THERAPY FOR CEREBRAL PALSY – A CASE STUDY Kangas, Emmi-Sofia Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulu, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Physiotherapy November 2016 Supervisor: Törne, Mari Number of pages: 51 Appendices: 3 Keywords: Cerebral Palsy, Aqua Therapy, Performance enhancing swimwear ____________________________________________________________________ The purpose of the thesis was to study the effects of the use of performance enhancing swimwear on a client with Cerebral Palsy (CP). This was done by interviewing a client with Spastic Diplegic CP who uses performance enhancing swimwear during aqua therapy sessions with her physiotherapist. For additional insight about the use of the swimwear the physiotherapist was also interviewed. CP is the most common motor disability in childhood, primarily affecting motor control and movement coordination. The severity of disabilities vary from mild to moderate and severe, meaning the mildest cases can be ambulant and the most severe in a wheelchair unable to maneuver themselves. The more severe and moderate cases often possess movement restrictions when functioning on land. Even the milder cases can have movement impairments, but perhaps only affecting one limb. Regardless of severity, these impairments have the ability to significantly impact quality of life. Most often individuals with CP require some form of assistive aids, whether they are for movement, functionality, or activities of daily living (ADL). The movement restrictions affect the overall development and quality of life of the child. When moving in water many of the restrictions that are present on land are removed.
