... Jumping EntriesPrior to teaching a jumping entry it is important to give consideration to the depth of water in relation to size of the pupil (hard impact with the pool floor can result in injury). It is important to teach the pupil how to land safely, i.e., bending the knees to absorb the force. WITH HELPER ON THE SIDE • helper secured and holding pupil's hand Teaching Points • toes over the edge • bend knees on landing Considerations • suitable for those with confidence • pupils must normally be able to stand in the water • not suitable in very shallow water WITH HELPER IN THE WATER • helper reaches towards the child Considerations • helper must be confident in the water • helper should be an adult UNAIDED Once the pupil can jump confidently to a helper in the water the next step is to jump unaided. At this point it is vital to stress: Teaching Points • look forwards • stress feet first entry Benefits of an unaided jumping entry • al lows the whole group to enter at the same time • saves time • is good fun Swimming Lessons ConwyBreaststrokeBreaststroke is the oldest and slowest of the four competitive strokes. It is the slowest because it is the least streamlined. There are several styles which can be developed as the skill level increases. Breaststroke is a popular recreational stroke because:- (i) Breathing is easy (ii) Swimmers can see where they are going (iii) A rest may be taken in the glide position Body Position Key Points • the body should be as horizontal as stroke movements allow. This means that there is a greater slope down to the seat than in other strokes in order to keep the leg action in the water • good floaters find it easy to achieve a stable, almost horizontal position. Poor floaters usually need to lift and lower the head every stroke cycle • ASA Law states that the shoulders must be horizontal. This helps to avoid uneven leg actions Swimming Lessons ConwyFloatingSupine 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 ConwyBetws y coed-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Betws yn Rhos-Conwy County Borough (near Abergele) Bryn y maen-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Capel Curig-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Capel Garmon-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Cefn Berain-Conwy County Borough (near Bodelwyddan) Cefn brith-Conwy County Borough (near Llangwm) Colwyn Bay-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Conwy-Conwy County Borough Cwm Penmachno-Conwy County Borough (near Bala) Glan Conwy-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Kinmel Bay-Conwy County Borough (near Rhyl) Llandrillo yn Rhos-Conwy County Borough (near Llandudno) Llandudno Junction-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Llanelian-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Llanfair Talhaiarn-Conwy County Borough (near Abergele) Llanfairtalhaiarn-Conwy County Borough (near Abergele) Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr-Conwy County Borough (near Bala) Llansanffraid Glan Conwy-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Melin y Coed-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Nant y Glyn-Conwy County Borough (near St Asaph) Nant y pandy-Conwy County Borough (near Beaumaris) Nant Y Rhiw-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Old Colwyn-Conwy County Borough (near Abergele) Pandy Tudur-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Penrhyn Bay-Conwy County Borough (near Llandudno) Pentre Bont-Conwy County Borough (near Criccieth) Pentre Du-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Pentre llyn cymmer-Conwy County Borough (near Ruthin) Pentre tafarn y fedw-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Pentre'r Felin-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Pont Cyfyng-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Pont Pen y benglog-Conwy County Borough (near Beaumaris) Pont y pant-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Rhos on Sea-Conwy County Borough (near Llandudno) Rhyd y foel-Conwy County Borough (near Abergele) Rowen-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) St George-Conwy County Borough (near Bodelwyddan) Tal y cafn-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Tanyfron-Conwy County Borough (near Bodelwyddan) Ty nant-Conwy County Borough (near Bala) Tyn y groes-Conwy County Borough (near Conwy) Ysbyty Ifan-Conwy County Borough (near Bala)
