As we have started the year together as Bixby swimmers, we are (re)learning the fundamentals of getting ready, using the lanes and clock correctly, what a “set” is, and how to function as a community taking care of ourselves, each other, and Bixby Beach. This involves lots of modeling, practice, and repetition.
Now that we are starting to get the routines down, we will do a combination of stroke/kick/breathe development time and game play or free swim, which focuses on sportsmanship. I truly enjoy teaching your children in my classroom of water!
