I had no idea so many people wanted to work on their roll. Way to go! We needed three more of me to go around. I discovered that 8 boats in a pool is similar to 30 kids in a classroom.
Nine people all wanting to work on rolls!
Awesome!
First we practiced popping off the spray deck for a wet exit, then I helped the new folks increase their comfort and confidence while upside down. Mitchell, Josh, Dan and Stephen all helped with hip snaps, then we started working the paddle into action.
Every student progresses at a different pace when they are learning to roll, so after about 15 minutes, everyone was at a different place in their learning. Oh my!
Learning complex motor skills doesn't happen instantly, because training muscles and complex new movements takes time. Have you ever tried to learn to play an instrument?
I think this youngster was at his first pool session getting his first rolling lesson and he did great.
I can't wait for our next pool session!
