Milton Nelms will have two presentations at WADC Learn to Swim and two at Competitive Swimming. This is the titel of the presentations at Learn to Swim:
#1 The “Creating” Paradigm and the “Elimination” Paradigm
How do these two paradigms relate to Learn to Swim?
This presentation makes the case that competitive swimming styles have an outsized influence on how learn to swim programs are designed. One of these influences would be the value of creating power as a way to make swimming faster. A second approach, rarely seen in competitive swimming, is to value the elimination of drag as a way to swim faster. These paradigms will be compared, with the case being made that the elimination paradigm should be used in learn to swim. Samples of exercises within each paradigm will be shown.
#2 Float to Survive, Float to Thrive
How a new paradigm in drowning prevention, the Float to Live campaign in Britain and the Float to Survive campaign in Australia, can be used in Learn to Swim.
These survival based campaigns for drowning prevention have a focus on duration, where a swimmer in trouble gets more time before their energy reserves are used up. An old concept in swimming, floating, is redefined and then used as the basis for gaining time in the water to save swimmers from drowning. This presentation describes how this same principle could be used as a basis for learn to swim, beginning with the very first immersions, regardless of age.
