I personally love before NOON....Why Early Bird Swim Classes are so super healthy before you go to work. For one after a nights sleep the body's muscles are relaxed...working the muscles first thing in the morning are equal to 3-5 X the workload as working out in the evening. So there a bigger bang for the effort,a more effective work-out. Your mental acuity will be boosted up so you will have a better work performance throughout the day.
We teach people at all levels with different goals. All classes are one hour long. After you Learn your new skills you will have a method to call upon instead of loosing control and panicking. Instructors must be fun, upbeat, and bring humor, and confidence to the situation and speak clearly and be optimistic.
Instructor must be careful to scale back and take baby steps.

using the bottom of the foot “ The plantar” to push downward in the water
using the top of the foot the dorsal to kick the water upward to the surface and kick from the hip. Not to break the skin of the water on each alternate kick-but to boil the water with the heal breajking the surface of the water.
