INTRODUCCIÓ

•Els programes d’activitats aquàtiques, especialment les escoles de natació, contemplen objectius diferents depenent de les entitats on estan enquadrades.
•Conseqüentment, un centre d’ensenyament focalitzarà finalitats formatives i educatives, complementant el programa curricular d’educació física; a nivell municipal, es tendirà envers una finalitat utilitària i formativa i en el marc d’un club o associació esportiva es dirigirà l’aprenentatge i entrenament envers una finalitat competitiva.
•From the Municipal Sports Area of L'Ametlla de Mar, an integrative and holistic methodology is proposed, optimizing the objectives and contents in the different evolutionary stages with an epicenter on training and educational values through utilitarian connotations, of learning and technical improvement, of improving the physical condition and the values of the competition, respecting at all times the principles of individuality and progression.
•The proposed methodology pursues as a final goal the achievement of the motor and technical skills to develop comfortably in the water, dominate the aquatic environment and promote the highest knowledge and technical mastery of swimming styles, conèixer i experimentar les alternatives i disciplines esportives que ofereix, adquirir els principis bàsics per a l’auto-prescripció de l’entrenament atenent la pròpia condició física i tècnica i, transversalment, promote educational and social values in all its stages and contents.
TRAINING AQUATIC ACTIVITIES

Stages Swimming School
We distinguish three general training stages:
STAGE 1: Adaptation and mastery of the aquatic environment.
STAGE 2: Learning of the natative styles technique.
STAGE 3: Perfectly of the technic of swimming styles, initiation to water games and sports and initiation to sports swimming.
•This general classification makes it possible to structure the objectives respecting the developmental state of the child from its initiation, in the first stage, where aspects of a more affective nature and the need for adaptation and mastery of one's body in the aquatic environment predominate; to achieve, in the second stage, una major eficàcia i economia en els desplaçaments i girs dins l’aigua a partir de millorar les coordinacions i els estils natatoris; i de donar a conèixer i experimentar la natació esportiva i les diferents disciplines esportives que ofereix el medi aquàtic, en una tercera etapa.
STAGE 1: ADAPTACIÓ I DOMINI DEL MEDI AQUÀTIC

OBJECTIU GENERAL
•Aconseguir la resolució de potencials limitacions afectives (pors) i assolir seguretat i autonomia per a una òptima adaptació al medi aquàtic respectant en tot moment el principi d’individualitat.
CONTINGUTS GENERALS
Habilitats d’adaptació al medi aquàtic:
•Familiarització
•Respiració
•Flotació
•Propulsió / Desplaçaments
•Entrades / Salts
Habilitats de domini del medi aquàtic:
•Girs
•Equilibris / imbalances
•Coordinacions
STAGE 2: LEARNING OF THE TECHNIQUE OF NATATO STYLES

The 4 swimming styles:
•A cradle of crawl
•back
•breaststroke
•Papallona
Each style offers advantages and disadvantages regarding movement in the aquatic environment and coordination complexities for learning to which each student adapts according to their predisposition or affinity, physical condition or other individual factors that must be identified and respected.
Taking into account the coordinative complexity of the different swimming styles, the following progression in their teaching is proposed:
1r.- Crawl, 2n.- back, 3r.- Breaststroke and 4th- Papallona.
TARGETS
•The main objective of this stage is the technical learning of the following swimming styles:
•A cradle of crawl
•back
Promote the acquisition of sports habits that move away from habits that are harmful to health and complement the growing number of sedentary habits
contents / Seqüència metodològica:
A trets generals ens servirem d’aquesta progressió per als diferents estils:
•Consecució d’una òptima posició corporal.
•Acció propulsiva de cames de forma aïllada.
•Acció de cames de forma aïllada en coordinació amb la respiració (frontal, lateral).
•Acció propulsiva de cames coordinada amb la propulsió d’un braç (punt mort, continu).
•Acció de cames en coordinació amb la respiració (frontal, lateral) amb la propulsió d’un braç (punt mort, continu). •Coordinació global de cames i braços de l’estil natatori.
Totes les accions contemplaran una progressió assistida de material auxiliar fins la seva realització de forma lliure.
STAGE 3: PERFECCIONAMENT DE LA TÈCNICA D’ESTILS NATATORIS, INITIATION TO WATER GAMES AND SPORTS AND INITIATION TO SPORTS SWIMMING

TARGETS
•The main objective of this stage is the technical learning of the following swimming styles:
•breaststroke
•Papallona
•Perfection of natural styles technique.
• Exits and turns.
•Initiation to water games and sports
• Initiation to sports swimming
