teaching swimming

I'm actually teaching swim classes at the Y right now, and this book has been a great reference tool. I was pretty much thrown into the class as a floater the first couple of weeks and instructed to teach. The good thing about this book is that it breaks down the fundamentals and actually provides the Y's specific methods. I also purchased the Parent/Child Y instruction book which has been even more helpful.

how to....

I bought this book from eHow.com and using the combined efforts of the book, and eHow, I managed to teach my three girls all to swim on their own. I really recommend it.
