The Advantages of Using Swimming Videos
2
Why video? Swimming Videos whether theyre on
tape or DVD, streaming video or on-demand can
reach beginners with a wide range of learning
styles and skill levels. There are virtually an
endless amount of ways to take advantage of the
power of video in order to create motivating, fun
and inclusive learning experiences. However,
watching a freestyle swimming video or underwater
swimming video can also be a passive experience
and so effective teaching and learning methods
should be used, thus turning it into a
springboard for pure learning action and
interaction. Before deciding to use swimming
videos for teaching or learning purposes, it is
very important to watch all the material to be
learned beforehand, just in case there are any
unnecessary or unrelated parts. Looking through
lesson plans or programs from other institutions,
for ideas on how a swimming video has been used
objectively to demonstrate specific strokes and
techniques, can also be very helpful.

If you are planning to use swimming videos, be
sure that they are effective and, at least,
sufficient. Let each medium do what it is
intended to do. Swimming videos introduce
concepts, hone techniques and motivates
beginners. The Internet, on the other hand,
provides instant reflection, extension, and
follow-up. Its ideal to use video with small
groups. Learning alone or with a small group is a
perfect way for learners with similar needs to
share an unforgettable experience and then work
on follow-up drills together. Try not going over
10 learners per video screen for optimal
learning. Videos offer convenient, self-paced
learning, like catching up on a missed or
difficult lesson or studying at ones own pace.
However, you may need coaching on how to
integrate printed media with a video program.
Some learners may not feel comfortable about
working or practicing on their own. Swimming
videos are most effective in a lighted
environment. Viewing in a darkened room leads to
snoozing and inattention. To begin your swimming
program, preview the video so youll have an idea
which parts you want to concentrate on later, as
you go further. Always practice the skills youve
learned with follow-up activities, like those
advised.

The learner is the key to effective and practical
use of video in any setting. One should learn how
to take in new concepts, review and reinforce a
skill, or return-demonstrate a technique. Its
very important to decide how youre going to use
the material and know how it will help you.
Identify your needs to be worked on and
incorporate them with the objectives of your
program. Always plan ahead for effective use.
Beginners will need to understand what they
should be working on when they watch the swimming
video. Make sure you are prepared. Swimming
videos usually present a great deal of
information in both skill and complexity. A good
video lesson will typically be broken into two or
three manageable segments to be covered one at a
time, using several times of the day for review
and reinforcement activities. For more info
