Yet, a significant percentage of children are unable to swim with any degree of skill—meaning not only are they missing out on health benefits, but they also are at risk when in water. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Part of that risk comes from receiving either no instruction or no differentiated instruction. Children receiving swimming lessons are commonly grouped by age or grade, and many lack the basic skills required for their age levels. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming\u003c\/i\u003e solves this problem by offering differentiated instruction for every participant in your class or program, based on each participant’s aquatic developmental level. Through this illustrated book, you will be able to \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • use an assessment tool to evaluate the initial skill level of every participant, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • place each participant in the appropriate level, and \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • teach skills through fun activities and monitor each participant’s skill acquisition along the way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming \u003c\/i\u003ewill help you accommodate nearly all of your participants’ abilities. With the six-level tool you will be able to assess initial aquatic performance levels for children with and without disabilities and provide appropriate activities to help participants develop their skills. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The book is presented in two parts. Part I offers teaching strategies to help you maximize the aquatic experience for swimmers with and without disabilities. It also guides you in selecting the assessment and activity level so that you can provide a fun and successful experience for all swimmers. Part II lays out six distinct levels, from developing and building on initial skills to learning and refining specific strokes. Some skills are introduced early on and then repeated in a more difficult form at a later level. The final level focuses on longer-distance swimming, flip turns, competitive swimming, and prerequisite skills for lifeguard training. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These six levels, along with the assessment instruments, accommodate most participants’ abilities. You’ll find the assessment instruments and activities very easy to use. Even those who have not been trained as instructors or teachers can implement the activities regardless of the swimmers’ levels. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessments and Activities for Teaching Swimming \u003c\/i\u003ecan help all participants take part in safe, fun aquatic activities that will improve their health-related fitness and well-being. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabDescription--\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-tableofcontents\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I.
