In brief
What you will learn
- •Water comfort comes before choreography.
- •Readiness includes surfacing and stopping.
- •Equipment fit must be checked in person.
Control before creativity
A learner should enter, float, surface, orient to the wall and follow instructions reliably without the tail in the same pool.
Use a coached first fitting
Tail size, monofin stiffness and foot-pocket fit change the task.
- Share any fear or previous injury.
- Learn the stop signal.
- Keep the first sequence short and repeatable.
