Abstract | A guide for teaching the retarded to swim begins with a general discussion of retardation, the need for individualization, and staff qualifications. Factors discussed in program organization and administration include community agencies, staff training, examples of records and forms, and first aid procedures. Suggested methods consider perceptual motor abilities, a multisensory approach, breaking down skills sequentially, transfer of training, motivation, awards, discipline, swimming readiness, orientation, entering the water, innovations, assistive devices, movement exploration, and circuit and interval training. Step-by-step procedures for mastering different floating and swimming positions are described and illustrated by sketches. A variety of water stunts and games are included as are recommendations for pool facilities. Behavior modification techniques are discussed and photographs are provided throughout. (RJ) |
