I have seen the hand-roll in the "Grace Under Pressure" video. It is a C-to-C roll but I am not sure what you mean by a two-handed C-to-C. Is this different from what is in the "Grace Under Pressure" video (if you have seen the video)? Are you teaching in a pool? In a pool I was not bothered with trying and missing rolls. When I was being taught in salt-water I liked it a lot better when the instructors did things in real small steps such that I never spent much time flailing away under water. Does the hand-roll first method result in more initial "failures" than the "holding hand-supporting paddle at 90 deg -guide paddle sweep" progression that many instructors use? Are you using some kind of progression in teaching the hand roll? Mark J.
