How well does practice "on land" or "in the air" map to the same movement under water, with water resistance?
- cirgue 9y agoNot especially well. It's kind of helpful to understand conceptually what's going on, but ultimately the physical sense on land is completely different, and the student will still think almost entirely in visual terms unless they're already accustomed to taking coaching and have uncommonly good body awareness. Most of the time it's faster to just start the student off underwater and begin the process of learning that mapping between movement and touch without the visual part.
