Had my first experience with the skill circuit today and all I can say is wow, can I have my dive training-wheels back? There were 4 of us in the water with the course director, and 2 of us were getting out first taste of demoing skills instead of just doing them. We weren't being graded but did get feedback on what to pay attention to and suggestions on how to practice them. For the moment, it feels kind of weird to take a fluid skill and break it back down to add in exaggeration and "focus on this" explanations. I guess I'll just have to look at the skill itself and demoing the skill as 2 separate skills.
Any advice is welcome. For the next couple of weeks, I think I'll be running through it in my head and going through the motions any time I can't practice it in water.
