On the sec day of one star with St Anthony Convent 25July, I was reached club abt 0930, I was predicted that the girls will be reaching the club very early. Wat a Great Sch.
I was eating my breakfast, and sook lian was asked them to mark the attendance. After when all the coaches reached the club and got ready, we was bring our individual grp n kayak and personal equipment to the beach.
After me n chee keong grps unloaded all the kayak, me and chee keong grp was doing the warming up together. After our warm up chee keong was asking me to revising a little bit of the forward paddling technics and dry paddling pratice.
After our paddling praticing, Chee keong was do all the 1star Syllabus and i did the explanation. After the syllabus intro, we go rite away to rafted X rescue. after that we spilt grp again.
Then i ask the girl form up 3 grps, each grp bring a person to capsize and doing the rafted X rescue. Once finished the rescues it be done.
After the rafted X rescue, we put up all the kayak away frm water line, collecting out own paddle back to club and we proceed to lunch.
After our lunch, we collect our equipment cack to the beach, I and chee keong was split into 2 grps again. I was pull all girls ambak the kayak by 2 by 2 to teach them all the 1star syllabus and teach them how to master the technics. After all got the technic, i was bring them out to the sea forming raft and continue my syllabus like stern rudder and low recovery.
At the same time share with them how to form the raft effectivilly, At the same time i was giving them lot of reverse stroke. Finally the last 2 hrs all of them can formed raft already, Lucky my effect nver go into the drain.
Abt 3.50pm i was ask them to to beach up and join the darren and sook lian grp, then i do a little of the demo on 2star and 3 star stroke. But chee keong side having 2 student and he still trying his best to coach they are forward stroke. Its almost time le, so Chee keong has no choice need to defer the 2 student cert. Due to the 2 student cant control the kayak confidently.
Before the trory came back, i was ask the student each one take one paddle to continue the low recovery stroke w/o kayak. After a while the trory came to the shore, I was started to ask the student loading up all the kayaks and back to club.
When we reached the club, chee keong grps was started to washing the kayaks, and i was bring them to wash the paddle n vest 1st also putts back the store, after that I bring my grps to procceding to washing kayak. then debrief and ask them to go and 20mins of bathing.
Aftre 20 mins i was asking them to meet at open class rm, i and chee keong was giving a debrief . and presenting the cert. our course is end at 1800hrs. .
Chee keong was look very happy, i think he can see my coaching improve then previous. And he is the 1st one who looking for my next coming 1star courses. Hopefully i can work with him again too.
Conclusion of my 1st full girl 1star grps: Cute and friendly, movement a bit slow but its ok sec 1 only.
My Experience and solution: In future, if this happen try to make their are stroke profect 1st, before ask them going to water.
