My swimming coach never jumps in the pool?
I ve been going to this swimming class for a few weeks but the coach never jumped in the water but teaches by standing outside the pool and observing . He has been a good teacher but shouldnt he jump in and show us how to do it?
Answers:
As a swimmer with over 10 years of experience, I can tell you that I only had one coach come into the pool with us and that was to demonstrate flip turns when I was learning at an early age. I've swam for coaches at all levels and not once did they come into the pool. The reason for this is to be able to observe you and your fellow swim team members while you perform your strokes. You don't exactly see coaches in other sports getting directly into the playing field right? Same thing. They're mainly there to observe and teach.
You should take it as a compliment that your coach has enough faith in you to not have to show you inside of the pool.
maybe he cant swim
trust me he knows what he's doing. Its way easier for him to see you and other swimmers and for you to see his arm movements
Push him in.
If he jumps, he is not the coach. He will watch how you are swiming and guide you in proper direction
tell hime he can't swim, he'll jump in to prove it
Coaches and water don't mix! Try hiring a submarine!
no he has to watch everone there to make sure no accidents happen then he should jump in life guard.
Once you have your technique going, it only needs mastering. From above the water, we can see what angle your arms are entering the water and your push/pull stages may be out.
Lots of other stuff that we get paid to know.
Plus, do you know how many people pee in the pool??
Not necessarily, I've seen plenty of diving and swimming teachers never even touch water.
maybe he cant jump!
no, he doesn't need to, you don't need to see him swim.
maybe you should let him demonstrate how it's done. maybe he's afraid of water or something but try to perswade him in the pool.
Sometimes they just don't! My swim coach qualified for the olymmpics, but she still teaches by standing on the side of the pool and demonstrating in the air. To be perfectly honest, i've seen people teach in the water, and it's actually much harder to grasp, because they have to move so quickly! If you're having troubles with a stroke, see if you can watch a class member while they're doing a lap, so you can figure it out.
well he could be afraid of water or he cant swim but who knows and u should ask him and say hey coach y dont u show us how to do it and if u already asked then well he has to not like to swim or something.see ya later
Nope. If he wants someone to demonstrate, he'll ask one of the students to do whatever the move or drill is and the rest can observe. He's doing his job up on the deck where he can observe what you are doing, make corrections, give instructions, and time laps.
If you check out the olympic athletes, their coaches aren't into show and tell. That's a very amateurish move for a coach to make. What they need is the experience to recognize what the athlete is doing and the ability to analyse his or her moves and tell them how to perform more efficiently.
Your coach is doing a great job.
He is NOT supposed to be in the water while there are students in the water. He can get into a heap of trouble. Why? Because while he's on the deck he can see all of the heads of the swimmers. If he's in the water while others are in different parts of the pool, he can't see if someone goes under or is having difficulties (drowning). If that happens, he's in for more trouble than you can imagine!
The only time an instructor will be in the water is if he's giving a class and every single person is in the shallow end and there's a diving line with buoy between the deep and shallow end.
Don't laugh, this is the truth (I taught swimming and lifesaving for 27/28 years). Whenever I got in to demonstrate a skill, I asked everyone to get on the deck. And they had to wait until I got out before I would let anyone in the water.
BELIEVE me, he knows what he's saying, or he wouldn't be there.
your coach is perfectly fine. most coaches don't swim with you. they like to be able to watch everyone from the pool deck. normally, if they see someone who has good technique, they would ask them to demonstrate.
It's much easier for him to see what you are doing from the poolside than in the water. Also, if he is th eonly coach there, he will have to stay on the poolside to act as a lifeguard in case of emergency - he might not be able to see everyone in the class from in the pool.
Go with Ray Michael on this one - it's a nailed on five star answer. And that's coming from a former coaching assistant.
He knows what he's doing. Most (good) coaches do that. It's easier for them to tell you what to do, then to watch you do it from the pool deck then to get in and show you. Besides, getting in and showing is for swimming lessons. If you are on the team you should be good enough to at least know how to do it in your mind. If we need help with someone my coach usually just gets someone on the team who is really good at it to come and show us.
My coach is a former uga swimmer and he never jmps in the pool he pulls us out whenever we're doing something wrong and shows us how to do it right. He's better than the coach i had that did jump in the water.
