I actually like swimming
now the swimming class ended, today I've swum a few times without standing up
in fact, I didn't even stand up once, and had almost no trouble breating in freestyle
maybe it's because it's the last swimming class, or because there were less than 10 people in the pool, which equals less pressure
youtube videos are better than (swimming) classes​
there were only 5 swimming classes this semester, I'm starting to regret that I didn't practice more during the first few classes
but it's okay, I learned a lot during the only 5 classes through again, a youtube video
you don't need to kick​
this is my first time knowing you can swim smoother with more endurance, by not kicking that hard like how the taiwanese teachers taught us
by not trying to kick, messing up the whole body movement, consuming more energy, I can focus more on my arms and breathing
then finally learn to kick when I really wanna get fast, while already knowing how to pull with my arms and how to breath smoothly
teaching ways matter​
it's insane how me, as a logical and rational person (I for sure am, right?), didn't think of it this way until I've seen someone do it
wasting all my classes trying to hide in the corner trying to do everything at once, and refusing to try because I didn't think I will succeed
that means the ways of teaching matter
it would clearly be more effective if they tried the modern ways of teaching, teachers should question themselves first, since they hold half of the responsibility of education
is this really what the taiwanese education wants?
anyways, I shall start worrying about the basketball classes...
