The Ten Point Programme Point Mental Being able to respond1 Adjustment appropriately to a differentenvironment, situation or task.The learning of breath controlis an important aspect of thiswork. (IHA, 2000)One such example is adjustingto moving in water comparedto moving on the side of thepoolPoint Disengage- An ongoing process throughout2 ment the learning by which theswimmer becomes physicallyand mentally independent.(IHA, 2000)Point Transversal The ability to control any3 RotationControlrotation made about a fronto-axis. (IHA, 2000)transversal(formallyVerticalRotation)Point Sagittal The ability to control any4 RotationControlrotation made about a sagittotransversal(anterior/posterior)axis. (IHA, 2000)

Point Longitudinal The ability to control any5 RotationControl(formallyLateralRotation)Point6CombinedRotationControlrotation made about a sagittofrontal(longitudinal) axis. (IHA,2000)The ability to control anycombination of rotations. (IHA,2000)Point Upthrust Trusting the water will support7 you. Sometimes called ‘mentalinversion’ (because theswimmer must invert theirthinking and realise they willfloat and not sink). (IHA, 2000)Point Balance in Floating still and relaxed in the8 Stillness water. This is dependent onboth mental and physicalbalance control. Whenbalanced, other activities canbe performed more easily.Point Turbulent( IHA, 2000)A floating swimmer is moved9 Gliding through the water, by aninstructor, without any physicalcontact between them. Theswimmer has to controlunwanted rotations but makesno propulsive movement. (IHA,2000)Point Simple The development from simple10 Progressionpropulsive movements madeand Basicby the swimmer to a strokeSwimmingwhich may be individual toMovementeach swimmer.
