1
Today we are at Florida Swim School to spend the day with a swim instructor.
2
Hi Ms. Margo, we are very excited to be here
3
and to meet you and we want to learn all about being a swim instructor.
4
How do you start your day?
5
When I first get here, I clock in and I check my schedule, and I'm going to write out who I have for the day, and then I'm going to go and check the pool,
6
chemicals, and pick out some toys for teaching the lessons, hang up the towels, and we'll get in the pool and start teaching.
7
Do you keep your list on your clipboard?
8
I do, and I have clipboards for you guys, too.
9
This is what you are going to be doing today.
10
So as a swim instructor, you need to have a list of things that you're going to be doing for the day.
11
Why did you become a swim instructor?
12
I was a lifeguard, and I really always enjoyed swimming and working with kids,
13
so it was a natural next step for me to get into teaching swim lessons.
14
What do you teach in swim lessons?
15
Well, I teach basic swim skills.
16
We're going to learn how to jump in the pool and get back to the wall.
17
We're going to learn back floating.
18
We're going to learn how to roll over onto our back so we can take a breath.
19
And we're going to learn treading water.
20
Are you ready to get started?
21
Yes!
22
Yes!
23
I'm ready to get started too.
24
Where do we go?
25
We're going to go get changed so we can get in the pool.
26
You ready?
27
Yes!
28
Yay!
29
Miss Margo, what tools do we use to teach people to swim?
30
So we use all of these different tools, depending on what age they are and what skills we want to practice.
31
They look like toys to me.
32
They are lots of toys.
33
Why do you use toys?
34
So we use them to make the lesson more fun and, you know, distract the kids if they're upset and just encourage them to do their swim skills to make the class,
35
you know, more fun and interesting for them.
36
Great.
37
What tools are we going to use today?
38
Well today, the first thing we're going to use is a noodle to learn treading water
39
and to practice reach and throw, don't go.
40
So Brooklyn, can you hold that?
41
Thank you.
42
The next tool we're going to use are our dive toys.
43
We're going to put them at the bottom of the pool
44
so we look down at them and then we'll roll over to float.
45
So Hayley, here you go.
46
And the next thing we're going to use are our kick boards.
47
And we're going to use these to hold onto when we float and also to practice some kicking.
48
So Sheridan, can you hold those?
49
And the last thing we'll use are hula hoops.
50
We're going to put it in the water
51
so we can jump away from the wall into the hoop and we'll swim back to the wall.
52
So Miss Penny, here you go.
53
Thank you.
54
Wow, what do we do first?
55
First, we're going to take a shower.
56
Take a shower?
57
Why do we take a shower before we go in the pool?
58
We're going to take a shower so
59
that we can get any dirt off of us so we keep the pool nice and clean.
60
That makes sense.
61
Are you ready to take a shower?
62
Yes!
63
Alright, showers first.
64
Let's go!
65
Miss Margo, before we go in the water, what are the first things children learn when they're going to take a swimming lesson for the first time?
66
So if it's our first day, we're going to take it slow and introduce them to the water and introduce them to the instructor as well.
67
So one of the fun ways we get them comfortable in the water
68
and to learn their breath control is to use a boat and pour water over their head.
69
So Brooklyn, when I say, I'm going to say one, two, three, ready, go, and I'm going to pour the water on top of your head.
70
So I want you to look up so that it trickles down your face.
71
And you're gonna close your eyes and blow bubbles going...
72
Good job.
73
You ready?
74
Yeah.
75
Go!
76
Good job.
77
She did a great job.
78
Perfect.
79
So that's one of the first things we'll do to get them comfortable with their head and face being wet, and that's how they're gonna learn their breath control.
80
So we don't want to submerge on the first day just to get them acclimated to the water first.
81
What is the next thing we do?
82
Practicing our back floats.
83
practice our rolling over so they can take a breath.
84
And then we're gonna do our jumping into the pool, into the hula hoop, and then swimming back to the wall.
85
What was the pool noodle for?
86
So for the with the pool noodle we're gonna practice our treading water.
87
So you're gonna hold the noodle and kick your legs like a bicycle
88
and then we'll take the noodle away and use our hands.
89
That sounds great.
90
So the very last thing we're gonna do is practice reach or throw don't go.
91
So this is a water safety skill.
92
What do swim instructors teach us?
93
How to swim.
94
That's right they teach us how to swim.
95
It's important because there's a lot of standing water and
96
if we know how to swim and we know how to protect other people
97
that might be having trouble we're gonna be okay.
98
You ready to start learning?
99
Yeah!
100
Let's get in the pool.
101
I'm sorry.
102
Today we're going to start with back float.
103
So you're going to lay on your back, you're going to look up at the sky and look at our fishies.
104
And you're going to put your arms and legs out to be a big starfish on your back.
105
We're going to practice rolling over.
106
So we'll put the dive toys at the bottom of the pool.
107
So you're going to look down at them blowing bubbles.
108
And then I'm going to say, one, two, three, roll over.
109
And you'll roll over and then do the starfish float again on your back.
110
The third thing we're going to practice is jumping into the hula hoop and go swim back to the wall.
111
With the pool noodle, we're gonna practice our treading water.
112
So you're gonna hold the noodle and kick your legs like a bicycle, and then we'll take away the noodle and add our arms so we can tread water.
113
The very last thing we're gonna do is practice reach or throw, don't go.
114
So this is a water safety skill.
115
So we're gonna grab something like a noodle, you're gonna lay on your tummy, reach it out.
116
The person in the pool is going to grab it, and the person with the noodle laying down is going to pull you in to safety.
117
So this way they learn not to go into the pool to save somebody
118
so that they don't get into trouble themselves getting pushed down.
119
So you always want to grab something and lay on the pool deck so that you don't get pulled in.
120
Thank you, Miss Marco.
121
We had a great day learning how to be a swim instructor.
122
Thank you for coming.
123
It was great.
124
Bye!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
