hydro

hi again,
this would be my final post and i thougth i would post it earlier since rural prac has provided me with alot of brand new experience to share. I have never run a hydro class before until this prac (despite requesting over and over again in the city) but never had the opportunity to do so. I believe many of you would have tonnes of experience at it and can definitely provide me with strategies to handle hydro classes as well as any land based exercises. My main problem with running these classes is that I tend to get stuck with ideas during these classes and unsure what other exercise to do next even though I did plan earlier and had it all set up in my mind but all these ideas tend to disappear then. I ran my first land based exercise with notes written in a small piece of paper and that got me through alright however I thought this would be inpractical when you are in the water. Just wondering how does everyone do it and I will really appreciate it if any advice/ideas I can have.
Thankyou so much for reading all my posts and all the comments you have given and good luck with PCR

Hey robin,
I guess this kind of confidence will come with experience, but in the mean time did you consider taking a paper prompt in a clear display sheet? If you put two of these over the paper (one upside down) it generally stops the water getting in too much, at least long enough to last the class without getting soggy!

Hey Robin,
dani's idea works, i used to do it for individual swimming training, just leave it on the edge and go have a glance if u get stuck! a tip i picked up during hydro is that its ok to repeat some exercises... which in my head was wrong, but now if i have a brain freeze i just go back to something we've done while i rack my brain for something new... and stretches are a great time waster!!
