This Friday is Career and Hobby Day at my son's school. Most likely I will be put in a kindergarten class to speak for 15 min on swimming as a hobby. I have to repeat this 6 times (for each class). There is a chance that my coach, Jeremy Linn, will also come and he and I will share the time. But, in case something comes up, I need to be prepared to do all 15 min. Any suggestions as to what to do? What to say to 6 year olds about swimming? I do have photos of me swimming while growing up. I'm not sure what else I will bring. Maybe a few pairs of old goggles (I have about 10) and they can all put them on.
Oh and the guidance counselor suggested I bring my parka, too. I guess the kids could try that on as well. And I'll have my gear bag with snorkel, fins, zoomers, kick board, etc.
Great ideas. Sadly, no food allowed in the classroom. I am trying to come up with something I can buy in bulk that is swimming related to give out, though.
I love the idea of getting them to stretch and go through the arm motions!
Looks like I'll have Jeremy there. At least as of this morning he's coming. I just hope he doesn't take a nap after practice and sleeps too long. hee-hee. Jeremy will have his medals and I'll bring mine as well. I have several from Nationals and State Games of Oregon that are really cool looking. And I think I have my first medal ever won from when I was 6 years old.
