Students splashed their way through the first week of Summer camp with skills, style and speed. Each lesson had a skill focus supported by a game, and then lessons would usually end with them improving individual skills. Our first lesson was all about getting to know one another, learning what each swimmer could and couldn't do, how to enter & exit the water safely, how long we could or couldn't float, and how far and fast we could propel our bodies through the water. The second class had students focusing on submerging their bodies, whether just their face or their entire bodies 2 meters down. We jumped, dove and torpedoed our bodies underwater trying to pick up an item from the floor with our hands and feet, or aiming for an underwater hoop. By Wednesday we were on a role, and students worked on propulsion, specifically how to flutter kick. Some could move themselves across a lane (2.5m) repeatedly, some moved themselves 100m, but all improved. Our final lesson of the week focused on the important survival skill of treading water, how to use our air capacity and hands to keep our heads above water without using our feet. Some students kept afloat for 20min without ever needing help, others could float for 20 seconds for their first time. It was a great week in the water!
夏令营首周,学生们在游泳技巧、风格与速度上尽情探索。每堂课均紧扣核心技能,穿插趣味游戏,最终以个人技艺的飞跃作为完美落幕。首课,我们共筑友谊桥梁,深入探索每位泳者的能力图谱——安全入水出水的要领、浮力极限的探索、以及水下动力学的初体验,每一项都让学生对自身能力有了全新认知。周二(第二节课上),学生们已经开始勇敢挑战自我,从面颊轻触水面到全身潜入两米深蓝的怀抱,每一次下潜都是勇气与自信的增长。水下世界成为他们的舞台,跳跃、俯冲间尽显灵动,模拟发射“鱼雷”、精准捕捉水下目标,手脚并用间,乐趣与技能并蓄。周三,角色扮演为课堂添彩,学生们化身为水中勇士,专注研习推进力之精髓,特别是那震撼人心的飞踢技巧。无论是小道上的反复磨砺,还是百米征途的勇敢尝试,每位学生都在自己的赛道上书写着进步的篇章。最后一节课聚焦于“踩水”这项生存艺术,学生们学会利用有限的空气与双手的力量,在不借助双脚的情况下,让头部悠然浮于水面之上。有人轻松驾驭,享受无拘无束的20分钟漂浮时光;有人虽初尝胜果,但那20秒的漂浮瞬间,已足以铭记于心。这一周,水上活动不仅是一场场视觉盛宴,更是学生们勇气、智慧与成长的璀璨绽放!
