BETTER BREASTSTROKEHORST MIEHE
Easy for you, tricky for some! Paired arms, paired legs, what’s difficult about that?
Effectively teaching breaststroke incorporates understanding the mechanics of the stroke.
Teaching with thorough knowledge and understanding of the stroke provides opportunity for students to experience the joy in effective movement of this unique stroke.
Most teachers know the movements for breaststroke but many never grasp the mechanics of why it works. Join Horst as he breaks breaststroke down into understandable and teachable components.
HITTING THE INTERVALS SONYA ROBINSON
The perfect setting to experience High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is the combination of water resistance, buoyancy and turbulence.
HITT session popularity is expanding as participants of all ages, ability and fitness get involved. Do you know what the hype is all about?
Sonya’s interactive theory session explains this water workout that alternates high intensity activity with low intensity recovery periods.
Think outside the box and expand participant experience, plan innovative and challenging sessions for your aqua and squad classes and keep all engaged. This session is a HITT.

SESSION 3 2:15PM – 3:00PM
SUCCESSFUL BUTTERFLYHORST MIEHE
It’s no surprise that many teachers find teaching butterfly difficult; it does have several peculiar features. The body must execute a wave-like undulation which ends in a dolphin kick, and the arms must recover above water simultaneously; and all with the right timing!
Successful butterfly starts with an ability to break the stroke down into teachable elements.
Join Horst as he examines each component of the stroke and guides you to slowly combine them back together for a fresh outlook on teaching successful butterfly.

OLDER ADULTSALAN PEARCE
I’m old and getting older every day, my joints ache, my hair is fading, I’m losing muscle tone and my memory is fading…..BUT wait, there’s life left in me yet!
My brain still works and it can improve, my body still moves so let’s work with that and see what we can change.
Inspiration abounds in this session that will have you re-thinking the ageing process – no longer a negative but a life stage that’s full of discovery and challenge.

MANAGING A SUCCESSFUL SWIMMING & WATER SAFETY SCHOOL NICK COX
Why do some small businesses flourish while others fail?
The aquatics industry abounds with passionate people who believe strongly in the importance and benefit of aquatic education. Passionate people naturally look to progress their careers by either managing a program or potentially owning a swimming and water safety school. There are many examples of this transition working well, but there are also many pitfalls.
Explore the steps that result in working ‘on’ rather than ‘in’ the business, with fundamental business principle essentials including:
– Strategy – Structure– Staff – Skills– Systems – Shared Values

MORNING TEA 11:00AM – 11:30AM
SESSION 2 11:30AM – 12:30PM
IT’S EASY - INCORPORATE WATER SAFETY INTO EVERY LESSON JUDY TIPPING & MICHAL FLETCHER
Water safety education starts at the point of enrolment.
A concerning industry trend assumes customers have some background knowledge in personal safety and/or confidence in water.
Exploring previous aquatic experience or fears disappears in a flurry of forms, terms, conditions and payment as the enrolment process proceeds.
Judy and Michal provide take away information to discover who class students are and how to empower staff teams to confidently incorporate essential water safety knowledge, skill and understanding into every activity of every lesson.
FAT BURNING, STRENGTH AND MOBILITY ALL IN THE ONE PACKAGEANNETTE CHATTERTON
Participate in a shallow water class that combines routines, drills, tabata and muscle conditioning suitable for seniors.
Follow the WETS system to understand a class structure that is fun, balanced and somewhat challenging.
Learn the science behind fat burning, the physiology of ageing and the importance of muscle balance and flexibility in preventing injuries.
Understand exercise options to adjust intensity for the not so active aqua participant, and how to ramp it up for the die-hard seniors.
TOP TIPS FOR BREASTSTROKE & BUTTERFLY TECHNIQUEHORST MIEHE
You’ve soaked up the theory and had all those nagging questions answered; now it’s time to give it a try and experience efficient breaststroke and butterfly for yourself.
This session presents a set of progressive teaching practices and solutions to persistent errors.
Hop in the pool to understand and appreciate the mechanics of breaststroke and butterfly.

Maori is the national language of New Zealand and its use and learning is on the rise! Don’t get left behind, give Te Reo Maori a go, Kia kaha!
Join Te Amo and Whanau (family) for an interactive session to learn basic Te Reo Maori to include in your swimming and water safety programme.
Te Amo will talk you through a few ways to promote Te Reo in your classes while also highlighting a few cultural ‘dos and don’ts’.
WHAT IS ‘FUN’? KARLA McCAUGHAN
It’s true, ‘fun’ can have a different meaning for everyone, however, when the AUSTSWIM Teacher of Infant and Preschool Aquatics course includes learning, as an act of discovery, trial and error, then the outcome is usually triumph and success. No-one said the purposeful journey of learning has to be boring, so let’s have some fun. You never know, you might get to enjoy it!
Join Karla as she steps you through the essence of marrying fun and enjoyment to produce educational outcomes that are a journey everyone wants to take. We will revisit program delivery, redefine learning outcomes and highlight the importance of teaching “hesitation and supervision”. So, free your inhibitions and re-experience fun for a while - you never know where this learning may lead.
GAMES – FUN AND EDUCATIONALNICOLE FIELD
Okay, we know ‘games’ are not for everyone, but enjoyment is; learning is great when it’s fun! Join Nicole in weaving some magic for engaging and entertaining learning with fun focused elements that aid confidence building, encourage problem solving and enhance social skills.
Build your teaching knowledge and impact on your understanding of ‘learning’ as this session presents thematic concepts and steps for effective group teaching.
Be prepared, this session is interactive - designed to motivate teachers to enjoy and have a bit of fun!
SESSION 4 2:15PM – 3:15PM

Learn how to explore and embrace differences to achieve some amazing learning outcomes for both you and the students. Modifying and adjusting your existing bag of tricks can be exciting and challenging - Maria gets to the point.

MANAGING A SUCCESSFUL SWIMMING & WATER SAFETY SCHOOL NICK COX
Why do some small businesses flourish while others fail?
The aquatics industry abounds with passionate people who believe strongly in the importance and benefit of aquatic education. Passionate people naturally look to progress their careers by either managing a program or potentially owning a swimming and water safety school. There are many examples of this transition working well, but there are also many pitfalls.
Explore the steps that result in working ‘on’ rather than ‘in’ the business, with fundamental business principle essentials including:
– Strategy – Structure– Staff – Skills– Systems – Shared Values

SESSION 2 11:30AM – 12:30PM
IT’S EASY - INCORPORATE WATER SAFETY INTO EVERY LESSON JUDY TIPPING & MICHAL FLETCHER
Water safety education starts at the point of enrolment.
A concerning industry trend assumes customers have some background knowledge in personal safety and/or confidence in water.
Exploring previous aquatic experience or fears disappears in a flurry of forms, terms, conditions and payment as the enrolment process proceeds.
Judy and Michal provide take away information to discover who class students are and how to empower staff teams to confidently incorporate essential water safety knowledge, skill and understanding into every activity of every lesson.

Understand exercise options to adjust intensity for the not so active aqua participant, and how to ramp it up for the die-hard seniors.
TOP TIPS FOR BREASTSTROKE & BUTTERFLY TECHNIQUEHORST MIEHE

WHAT IS ‘FUN’? KARLA McCAUGHAN
It’s true, ‘fun’ can have a different meaning for everyone, however, when the AUSTSWIM Teacher of Infant and Preschool Aquatics course includes learning, as an act of discovery, trial and error, then the outcome is usually triumph and success. No-one said the purposeful journey of learning has to be boring, so let’s have some fun. You never know, you might get to enjoy it!
Join Karla as she steps you through the essence of marrying fun and enjoyment to produce educational outcomes that are a journey everyone wants to take. We will revisit program delivery, redefine learning outcomes and highlight the importance of teaching “hesitation and supervision”.

SESSION 2 1:30PM – 2:15PM
BETTER BREASTSTROKEHORST MIEHE
Easy for you, tricky for some! Paired arms, paired legs, what’s difficult about that?
Effectively teaching breaststroke incorporates understanding the mechanics of the stroke.
Teaching with thorough knowledge and understanding of the stroke provides opportunity for students to experience the joy in effective movement of this unique stroke.
Most teachers know the movements for breaststroke but many never grasp the mechanics of why it works. Join Horst as he breaks breaststroke down into understandable and teachable components.
HITTING THE INTERVALS SONYA ROBINSON
The perfect setting to experience High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is the combination of water resistance, buoyancy and turbulence.
HITT session popularity is expanding as participants of all ages, ability and fitness get involved. Do you know what the hype is all about?
Sonya’s interactive theory session explains this water workout that alternates high intensity activity with low intensity recovery periods.
Think outside the box and expand participant experience, plan innovative and challenging sessions for your aqua and squad classes and keep all engaged. This session is a HITT.

SUCCESSFUL BUTTERFLYHORST MIEHE
It’s no surprise that many teachers find teaching butterfly difficult; it does have several peculiar features. The body must execute a wave-like undulation which ends in a dolphin kick, and the arms must recover above water simultaneously; and all with the right timing!
Successful butterfly starts with an ability to break the stroke down into teachable elements.
Join Horst as he examines each component of the stroke and guides you to slowly combine them back together for a fresh outlook on teaching successful butterfly.

OLDER ADULTSALAN PEARCE
I’m old and getting older every day, my joints ache, my hair is fading, I’m losing muscle tone and my memory is fading…..BUT wait, there’s life left in me yet!
My brain still works and it can improve, my body still moves so let’s work with that and see what we can change.
Inspiration abounds in this session that will have you re-thinking the ageing process – no longer a negative but a life stage that’s full of discovery and challenge.
