I felt working full time and completing this course at your own pace was a critical decision of why I chose this course. The course allowed me to learn at the pace I needed to complete it. The course had appropriate assignments and allowed me to learn a great deal of safety guidelines and how to write a program and run a practice. Great course!

I am very thankful I took this course. To start, I didn't know a large amount of information about swimming prior to this course. Throughout the assignments, I found a vast amount of information and activities that I plan on implementing into my lesson plans for this year's swimming unit. I feel prepared to step into a coaching role, swimming instructor, or Aquatics Maintenace role confidently. The most valuable lesson I would say is Safety. Regardless of your role in swimming, safety is always most important.

My experience with class was great because I learned more than I thought I would. I had minimal knowledge of the art and sport of swimming and to coach it I would have been somewhat clueless without this class. I learned so much regarding safety, technique, and training of swimming. I grew a deeper appreciation for the sport and am happy I chose this course to learn further.

I feel like I have a better understanding in the sport of swimming in much greater depth. The most valuable lesson I have learned from this course was the coach interview and observation assignments. Talking with a swim coach and watching a swim practice felt extremely applicable to my future teaching career in physical education.

While many other graduate school classes feel like busy work, this one seemed to have assignments that were meant to guide the student to a greater degree of understanding and/or reflection on the topics covered.
