Описание:

Have you ever started out with the intention of swimming laps to get fit but given up when it turns out to be much harder than you thought? Or do you find yourself gasping for breath after swimming a mere 50 metres? Or have you just always wanted to be a better swimmer?
If you have then Adults Guide To Better Swimming is just for you Created specifically for novice, recreational swimmers it focuses on the basics with simple, easy to understand language and helpful illustrations.
Adults Guide To Better Swimming starts with the core foundations of swimming:

The Basics of Technique (efficient kicking, stroke correction)
Analysing your stroke and detecting weaknesses
Fitness Building (in manageable stages) including NINE complete training programs at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Although Adults Guide To Better Swimming focuses mainly on Freestyle, it also covers the basics of backstroke and breaststroke.
Other topics covered include:
An equipment guide
The best time(s) to swim
Helpful drills
Ocean and open water swimming
Perfect For Beginners
Adults Guide To Better Swimming is aimed at beginner or self taught swimmers. You will need to be able to submerge confidently and perform a basic freestyle only. It is not designed for experienced swimmers or those seeking comprehensive stroke correction.

Don't sit on the sidelines any longer Let Adults Guide To Better Swimming guide you on the journey to becoming a fit, proficient lap swimmer.
A step by step journey that will help you face your fears and move beyond them.
Are you an adult who has always wanted to learn to swim but are simply too scared to try? Are you tired of sitting on the sidelines or the sand while your friends and family enjoy the pool or the ocean? Or have you just decided that NOW is the time to finally learn to swim so you can cross it off your Bucket List? If so, Learning to Swim When You're Scared is just the book to help you Created specifically for adults who want to swim but lack the confidence to do so it focuses on the steps you need to undertake with simple, positive language and helpful illustrations.
If you're looking for a short cut or the previously unpublished "secrets" to becoming a proficient swimmer then keep looking. Learning To Swim When You're Scared doesn't make unrealistic promises or offer a guarantee of success. Rather it gives you the tools you need to make it happen.
There are many reasons why people are afraid of learning to swim - some are simple and some are complex. But that doesn't matter. You can conquer your fear and move beyond it as long as you are prepared to roll your sleeves up and have a go.
Learning to swim as an adult isn't "easy" - if it was you would have done it already, right? That's not to say it's difficult either, you just need the right information to help you. Learning To Swim When You're Scared will not have you swimming laps in a magically short time frame, rather it's function is to prepare you for formal lessons by getting you confident with submerging, floating and kicking.
Learning To Swim When You're Scared starts with some preparation:
Pinpointing why you're scared
Coming to terms with previous negative experiences
Some simple at home "baby steps" to get the ball rolling
The importance of a support person
It then moves on the nitty gritty - getting in the pool and your head under the water. Full submersion is the key to becoming a swimmer and it is a skill that can take time to learn. This book will guide you each step of the way. Once you can go under the water confidently it then moves onto other basic water skills inclduing:
Getting your feet off the bottom
Learning to float on the front and back
The correct way to kick
While seemingly simple these core skills will set you on the path to becoming a proficient swimmer. Spending time and effort on them right at the beginning will pay huge dividends down the track.
Everybody can learn to swim
Any lover of swimming and the water will tell you there is nothing quite like it. You don't have to continue being a non-swimmer just because you always have been. It doesn't matter how old you are, if you are overweight or if you have tried and failed before. If you are willing to put in the work you can do it.
Don't sit on the sidelines any longer Come on in the water is great.

Описание: Inspired by true events, One Hen tells the story of Kojo, a boy from Ghana who turns a small loan into a thriving farm and a livelihood for many. After his father died, Kojo had to quit school to help his mother collect firewood to sell at the market. When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen. A year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Soon Kojo's farm grows to become the largest in the region. Kojo's story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo's, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana, and one of the largest in west Africa. Kwabena also started a trust that gives out small loans to people who cannot get a loan from a bank. One Hen shows what happens when a little help makes a big difference. The final pages of One Hen explain the microloan system and include a list of relevant organizations for children to explore. One Hen is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.
