INTRODUCTION. ALMOST FORGOTTEN TERMS AND NOTIONS

GROWN-UPS AND SWIMMING

            In a traditional way, swimming instructors believe that a grown-up learns more difficult (or not at all) to swim… in general, the grown-up exaggerates and “considers” the fear a major obstacle; but fear is quite necessary, all the people have fears and also the author of this book – fear gives the chance to fight it, to understand it…

            The truth which results from the practice is that the grown-ups, especially women, can easily learn; boys have a less disposition to be “directed” and it is more difficult to instruct them.

            This remark is observed even from early childhood – girls learn easier – boys more difficult …

Why would the grown-ups learn to swim easier?

I.          the grown-up is a conscious and capable being so, it is easier for the grown-ups to concentrate upon an exercise; they can understand, memorize, practice while thinking. Children do all these only with a sense of conservation associated with the sense of water, almost in an unconscious way.

II.         the grown-up, by its mostly exaggerated fear, is careful – most of the children are imprudent…; to rationalize – if the fear exists unconditionally and it is imminent, lets use it in order to awake the curiosity to know “something” new”; the grown-up can do this under these circumstances:

- if it is asked to have a GREAT will to learns (1),

- if it is clear – only by it’s own powers (2), and

- the instructor shouldn’t let him “believe” that by working superficially “something will come up”, “just because”… (3).

III.        the grown-up must always practice, repeat and without “hope” the simplified algorithm of swimming teaching.
