    Description
    This course is an introduction to the discipline of Kinesiology through skills and techniques for the intermediate swimmer. The global and historical development of swimming as a fitness and competitive activity will be discussed. Intermediate stroke skills, springboard diving, turns, and water safety will be covered. The student will be expected to swim greater lengths with increased motor skills. American Red Cross stroke standards will be followed but adaptations will be allowed based on physical ability, age, strength, and gender. Students will review basic exercise physiology and nutrition appropriate to swimming.
