To master my breathing when performing the front crawl

# data[].attributes.body
I would describe myself as a very poor swimmer with little confidence in the water
I have very limited experience in the water, but am familiar with some of the basics

# data[].attributes.body
I would describe myself as being at Level 4; Above Average. Whereby I can perform the technique properly a lot of the time

# data[].attributes.body
Read document before entering the pool

Breathe underwater in an upright stationary position

Apply this to the 50 metre end of term assessment without stopping

# data[].attributes.body
I identified most with the third category; Average. Whereby I was able to somewhat perform the proper technique.

# data[].attributes.body
Considering my lack of confidence in the water, I still managed to meet the requirements of the majority of the checklist.

# data[].attributes.body
I succeeded in ticking all the boxes associated with the leg movement during the front crawl

# data[].attributes.body
The category I identified most with was that of Above Average. I could perform the techniques properly a lot of the time

# data[].attributes.body
I did not succeed in ticking all of the boxes until my third assessment, but am happy with my overall progress.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always struggled with my breathing and feel as though it has restricted me in partaking in certain activities outside of this module

# data[].attributes.body
This was very easily identified as my biggest weakness and one that was in need of the most attention

# data[].attributes.body
I identified most with Category 2; Below Average. I attempted to demonstrate, but did not show the proper technique.

# data[].attributes.body
Thankfully, I do not have a fear of water, but I do have a fear of jumping in as my breathing technique is very poor and I cannot thread water whatsoever.

# data[].attributes.body
The rhythm of my strokes is uneven, but can be easily fixed once my breathing technique improves over the six week period.

# data[].attributes.body
I will research what steps I can take to improve my breathing techniques over the course of the six weeks.
E.g. videos, infographs ,task cards

# data[].attributes.body
I will increase the difficulty of the tasks I set myself each week to aid me in reaching my final goal.
I hope to incorporate some fun activities to maintain my interest in my ambition.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to designate more hours to independent swimming, as one hour weekly would not be sufficient.
I am going to ask for assistance if I feel the need to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
My personal goal is very important to me, as not being able to swim means that I become nervous around water, especially water I cannot stand in.
When going swimming, no matter the context of a swimming pool, lake or sea, I know that I will not be able to participate. I hope to overcome this by Week 6.

# data[].attributes.body
I want and will complete my goal by Week 6 if I adhere to what I have planned for myself. I believe it is an attainable goal as I already am competent and confident in other areas of the front crawl.
