... Regaining the standing positionIt is essential that non-swimmers being introduced to the water, are taught how to regain the standing position very early in their swimming development. This will help to develop confidence and is also an important safety skill. Initially this should be introduced using buoyancy aids or floats. From the prone position Practice • push and glide to the wall (with float) Teaching Points • lift head • tuck up knees • allow the feet to go to the bottom • stand up Practice • push and glide to the wall (without a float) Teaching Points • pull downwards and backwards with both arms • both feet down together Practice • push and glide away from the wall (without float) Teaching Points • relax - do not hurry • allow the legs to move towards the bottom of the pool Swimming Lessons DerbyTeaching Treading WaterPractice • in shoulder depth water, a float under each arm, try out different leg actions. Teaching Point • put as little pressure as possible on the floats. Practice • with one float held with both hands, practise chosen leg actions Teaching Points • continuous movement of the legs • tip head slightly back if needed Practice • in water where the swimmers are out of their depth, hold the rail (side) at arms length, hold a float in the other hand, and practise chosen leg actions Teaching Point • gentle, unhurried leg action Practice • at the side, hold the rail as before but scull with the other arm. Practise chosen leg action Teaching Point • scull well below the surface Before going on to treading water entirely independently, it is useful to practise floating skills. This underlines the fact that little effort and energy need be used in order to stay afloat when treading water. Swimming Lessons DerbyFloatingSupine 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 DerbyALLESTREE ALVASTON ASHBOURNE BARROW-UPON-TRENT BELPER BRADLEY BRAILSFORD CASTLE DONINGTON CHADDESDEN CHADDESDEN SIDINGS CHADDESDON CHELLASTON DISEWORTH DRAYCOTT ETWALL FINDERN HATTON HILTON HOPE VALLEY KEGWORTH KINGS NEWTON LANGLEY LITTLEOVER LOCKINGTON MACKWORTH MELBOURNE MICKLEOVER MILTON MORLEY NORMANTON QUARNDON RISLEY ROWDITCH SANDIACRE SHARDLOW SOUTH WINGFIELD SPONDON STANTON-BY-BRIDGE SWADLINCOTE SWARKESTONE WESTON UNDERWOOD WILLINGTON
