I've been teaching swimming for over 30 years and I built Swim Teach so that I can share all my knowledge, wisdom and experience from the thousands of swimming lessons I have had the pleasure of teaching. Take a look back through my previous newsletters and see what you missed.
Teach Your Child To Swim Through Games and Play
It is finally here. As a parent teaching your child to swim, I have a brand new book that is a absolute must-have.
Hi, Mark here. I hope all is well with you.
My exciting new book is here! 'Teach Your Child To Swim Through Games and Play' uses games to teach swimming. Use the power of play to teach basic swimming skills to your children. Teaching them to swim could not be easier!
Using games and play to teach your child how to swim will not only open their mind to imagination and engagement, but it will help to distract them from the fears and anxieties often associated with the new sensations of being in the water and the expectations that come with learning how to swim.
Discover 60 games that use little or no equipment and that cover all of the essential basics of learning to swim, including breathing, floating, submerging, gliding, kicking and pulling. Explore games and activities that teach them all. Click here for more details, or click the button below.
| Take me to your new book! |
Download my book and unlock your child's swimming potential.
Happy swimming!
Cheers
Mark

Your weekly insight, one mini story, one practical step to try today and one question to consider - all in a five minute read. Hey, Mark here. Hope you've had a good week. This week, we are keeping lessons fresh! Lessons get stale when the teacher repeats the same drill in the same way. The problem usually isn’t the drill. It’s the lack of variation around it. One insight Good swimming teaching is rarely about inventing completely new content every week. It’s about taking a sound exercise and...
Hi there, Mark here. Teaching adults isn’t like teaching children. Adults carry fear, assumptions, pride, embarrassment - and often a lifetime of avoiding water.
