Much learning took place

I taught my last class of the summer this morning.  Thanks to Outdoors, Inc., for making these classes possible.

This was the most productive of the six classes I taught in terms of topics covered: in addition to all the stuff I listed in this post two weeks ago, we went much more in-depth on the forward stroke, and also covered sweep strokes and deep-water re-entry.

There are two reasons that we covered more ground today.  The first is that there were only two students, and so I spent less time with group management.  The second is that we finally had the sort of weather one expects in August in the Mid South, and the students (and I) were much more eager to get wet than in previous classes.
