KNES 1B

About this course

The course is an introduction to Kinesiology through the development of skills and techniques for the beginning swimmer. Global and historical development of swimming as a fitness and competitive activity will be discussed. Beginning stroke skills, survival methods, diving from the side of the pool, and deep-water swimming will be covered. American Red Cross stroke standards will be followed but adaptations will be allowed based on physical ability, age, strength, and gender. Students will review basic exercise physiology and nutrition appropriate to swimming.
