On Saturday, June 21st, three competitive swimmers and volunteers from AYLUS Pearland—Yurong Qiu, Yushan Qiu, and Jordana Zhao — taught swimming lessons to community kids. This is the 6th lesson in a 3-week-long series.
Yurong, Yushan, and Jordana played a stacking kickboard race game with Darren, Tyler, Jasper, Lawrence, and Emma. Jordana worked on breathing during freestyle and kicking with straight legs with Tyler and Lawrence. Yurong and Yushan worked with Darren, Jasper, and Emma on their backstroke arms and streamline kick. Yurong taught them how to breathe when swimming butterfly and streamline underwater kicks. The last 10 minutes of class, they played kicking rock-paper-scissors and Marco Polo.
This lesson was very efficient; everyone was either learning something new or improving their technique and skill. All the children had a lot of fun playing the games; they enjoyed being around one another and became comfortable with the coaches and the swimmers around them.
Volunteers:
6/21/2025 (1.5 hour): Yurong Qiu, Yushan Qiu, Jordana Zhao
Parent on duty (1.5 hour): Hongmei Ruan (Yurong/Yushan) and Lingling Zhang (Jordana Zhao)
