Prior 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.

• helper secured and holding pupil's hand

• toes over the edge

• bend knees on landing

• suitable for those with confidence

• pupils must normally be able to stand in the water

• not suitable in very shallow water

• helper reaches towards the child

• helper must be confident in the water

• helper should be an adult

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:

• look forwards

• stress feet first entry

• al lows the whole group to enter at the same time

• saves time

• is good fun

• shoulders are kept level

The objective is to float in the shape of whatever letter is called out by the teacher. Some letters can be formed by individual pupils, others are more easily produced by pairs and sometimes threes. Group work can enable words to be spelt.

Although clearly good fun for younger pupils, tutors often find that adults enjoy practicing this in their lessons as a means of relaxing.
