First three pics are me. I have a butterfly haircut with long curtain bangs, but I’ve always thought my bangs were just a bit too long.
I was thinking about doing shorter curtain bangs like from pic 4 or 5. But I can’t decide between that and the super voluminous 70s blowout hairstyle in pics 6 and 7.
I have softer features and a broader face from some angles- any hairstyle advice is appreciated!
I (21F) have been teaching since 2020, so this is my sixth year.
I started at a swim school then after two years I switched to private swim teaching at my community pool, which was rejuvenating - having the responsibility of personally talking to parents, making my own swim schedule/hrs/lesson rates. I liked the freedom of being able to decide my own lesson plan, create my own games for the students, only teach private lessons, etc.
I only private swim teach during the summer from June-Aug. But this summer, it’s just hard to stay motivated?
I try to ask the kids small talk questions (do anything fun today/how’s that summer camp going) but they don’t seem interested and are just bored of class, even though I have a system set up for them to dive for rings after doing ‘X amount of swims’.
I don’t know if I’m getting worse at explaining techniques to my students but a lot of them get confused now and they never did that the past few years.
I get internally annoyed when I explain exactly what mistake they’re making (ex. Swimmer windmilling arms) but they don’t correct it-especially students who never did windmills the past few weeks but randomly decided to start doing them this class.
I used to pride myself on always staying engaged and empathetic and the kids loving me. And well, I still am empathetic and understanding when I’m teaching, but I feel like I just want things to be more straightforward and for them to improve faster (ironic cuz they seem to not be improving as fast).
Anyone else experience this same thing? I only swim teach a few months each year so I don’t know if burnout makes sense or if I’m just getting in my head 😅
Hey all, I (21F) have a 13y/o student who’s been taking lessons from me for several summers.
She can swim freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. However, she can only tread for 13 seconds even though we’ve been practicing it every lesson last summer.
She has a tall and lanky build which I suspect may be making it more difficult for her to tread. Also, she’s had a bad swimming experience where she was scared of drowning- and she seems more jerky/stiff while treading despite our drills which isolate arms/legs with noodles, and trying to relax while treading.
At my swim school, we only learned how to teach the kiddie version of treading (stomp feet and move arms), and not the eggbeater version.
I don’t know any drills for eggbeater-nor do I know the best way to break down the movements step-by-step to the student.
Any advice would be helpful!! I forgot how I learned eggbeater treading back when I was a kid 🥲
