With respect to swimming and other skills — I swam on the swim team for many years & I really can appreciate Albert Ip’s comment. However, here’s the rub — if you use other parts of the brain & engage visualization, positive change can be made. Swim clinics are perfect examples — underwater cameras and playbacks — the swimmer can make a correlation between how the bad stroke looks (and feels) and thus how the good stroke looks (and feels).

Language acquisition is similar — for example, the Rosetta Stone series of interactive CDs — hearing oneself pronounce Swahili or Russian — as one listens to the correct pronunciation constitutes a more "full brain" approach. The key is to engage more than one kind of learning at a time… visual + auditory; visual + kinaesthetic…
etc.

interesting concepts!! i really appreciated your comments at E-Learning Queen.
