... Movement in the WaterChildren should be encouraged to move freely at the earliest opportunity. Some may require the support of artificial aids or the assistance of a helper in the water. The availability of this type of support should be removed as soon as safety and confidence permit. Practices • walk holding the rail/side • walk alongside the rail/side without touching Teaching Points • slide feet along the bottom • move slowly • aim for shoulders below the surface Developments • walk anywhere around the pool • walk changing speed • walk changing direction including sideways and backwards • walk in geometrical shapes/patterns • jumping, hopping, skipping As the pupils gain in confidence they should be allowed to experiment with a variety of movement patterns and games. Swimming Lessons ClevelandFront CrawlFront Crawl is the fastest of the four competitive strokes. The body position is almost flat and the constant propulsion from the alternating arm and leg actions make it a very efficient stroke. Body Position Key Points • flat with a slight slope down to the hips. The head is neither buried nor lifted. The waterline is between the eyebrows and natural hairline • eyes look forwards and downwards • the slight slope down to the hips keeps the kick in the water • shoulders roll into the stroke to utilise the strong chest muscles and to generate a strong propulsive force • slight head adjustments change the position of the legs. If the head is lifted the legs will drop and vice-versa, like a see-saw • the legs work almost within body depth. This creates the least resistance to forward motion Swimming Lessons ClevelandFloatingSupine Float
Being on the back means that breathing is easy. The position is ideally that taken up in a supine push and glide from which the skill may be practised. It can also be achieved from the standing position by lowering the shoulders to the surface and gently lying back in the water. If the legs tend to sink, it can be helpful to allow them to relax and bend. Try gently extending the arms beyond the head to a star position. These adjustments redistribute the weight and may succeed in enabling horizontal flotation. Key Points • relax and pillow the head back in the water • take a breath • shoulders down, lie back gently • lift the feet • gently extend the arms • maintain a star shape Swimming Lessons ClevelandAcklam Aislaby Billingham Boosbeck Boulby Brierton Brotton Carlin How Carlton Coatham Coulby Newham Cowpen Bewley Dalton Piercy Dormanstown Dunsdale Eaglescliffe Easington East Hartburn Egglescliffe Elton Elwick Eston Gerrick Grangetown Graythorp Greatham Grindon Guisborough Hart Hart Village Hartlepool Haverton Hill Hemlington High Leven High Throston Hilton Hutton Lowcross Ingleby Barwick Kilton Kirkleatham Kirklevington Lackenby Lazenby Lingdale Linthorpe Liverton Liverton Mines Loftus Long Newton Longnewton Maltby Margrove Park Marske by the Sea Marton in Cleveland Middlesbrough Middleton Middleton-on-Leven Moorsholm New Marske New Skelton Newton Bewley Newton under Roseberry Normanby North Ormesby North Skelton Norton Nunthorpe Old Lackenby Ormesby Overdene Pinchinthorpe Port Clarence Preston on Tees Redcar Redmarshall Rosedale Roseworth Saltburn by the Sea Seaton Carew Skelton in Cleveland Skinningrove Slapewath South Bank Stainton Stanghow Stillington Stockton on Tees Street Houses Teesport The Headland Thornaby Thornton Thorpe Thewles Tocketts Upleatham Urlay Nook Warrenby Whinny Hill Whitton Wilton Wolviston
