Nottelmann also emphasised that beginners should master basic movements, find rhythm, enjoy water and have fun before proceeding to higher level of training and progress in the sport.
The clinic was divided in two parts: the first one focused on basic training and learning how to swim; the second was designed for rules and officiating. Most of the participants for this last part were parents and coaches who normally help as officials for local competitions.
Participants had an opportunity to go through FINA rules of the game, watch videos and example of both legal and illegal practices during competitions. Practical sessions also took place.
