How can teaching methods be improved and anxiety levels reduced in children learning to swim?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


I am Helena Buckoke, an MSc Integrated Product Design student at Brunel University, Uxbridge.


I am conducting a research study for my dissertation, and am looking for parents/guardians or swimming instructors aged 18+ years that are linked to primary aged children (4-11 years) learning to swim.


If this is you, I would love to interview you! I will be asking a couple questions in order to gain perceptions of current and potential methods used to teach children to swim to help me to understand and define various needs and desires to implement into a design solution.


If you are able to spare a max of 30 mins for a phone call for me to ask a couple of questions over the next few weeks, please let me know! I would be hugely grateful!


All information will be used for academic purpose only - I have attached the terms and conditions on this post if you wish to have a look.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day. 
    • Didn't engage him in conversation but I think he was just 'collecting' for a 'charity' - without ID or anything else. Something to do with rehabilitation. They don't seem to bother with dusters. Which is probably a blessing.
