With accurate knowledge and intervention strategies, physical educators, coaches and wellness professionals can help eliminate these feelings of fear. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss ways educators can reflect upon their current curriculum and instructional practices to best meet the needs of students with who are afraid in water. |
