... Underwater PracticesSubmerging the face in the water is crucial to the development of prone swimming strokes and skills. It is essential, therefore that the skill is developed at the earliest opportunity. Many games can be adapted to include submerging opportunities. The activities are as varied as the teacher's imagination. The following are few examples:- • washing the face • pouring water over the head e.g., sponges, watering cans • blowing bubbles • humming and singing under water • bobbing up and down • touching the floor with different body parts • picking up objects from the bottom of the pool • passing through hoops • talking to a partner • pulling faces under water Swimming Lessons Greater ManchesterFront 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 Greater ManchesterFloatingProne Float
This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position. Key Points • take a breath • lean forward to face down position • lift the legs • make a star shape • relax • keep the head down Swimming Lessons Greater ManchesterAbram Adswood Affetside Ainsworth Alt Altrincham Ardwick Ashton in Makerfield Ashton Under Lyne Ashton upon Mersey Aspull Aspull Common Astley Bridge Astley Green Atherton Audenshaw Austerlands Balderstone Bamford Bardsley Barrow Bridge Barton upon Irwell Besses over the Barn Bickershaw Birch Black Lane Blackford Bridge Blackley Blackrod Boar's Head Bolton Boothstown Bottom o' th' Moor Bowdon Bradley Fold Bradshaw Bramhall Bredbury Breightmet Broadbottom Broadheath Bromley Cross Brooklands Broughton Bryn Bryn Gates Burnage Burnden Burnedge Bury Cadishead Calderbrook Caldermoor Carr Carrbrook Carrington Castleton Catley Lane Head Chadderton Chadderton Fold Chapel Field Charlestown Cheesden Cheetham Hil Chequerbent Chesham Chew Moor Chorlton Cum Hardy Clifton Clough Compstall Cooper Turning Copley Crimble Crofts Bank Crompton Fold Crooke Crumpsall Cutgate Daisy Hill Darcy Lever Daubhill Davenport Davenport Green Davyhulme Deane Dearnley Delph Denshaw Denton Didsbury Diggle Dimple Dobcross Dover Droylsden Droylsden Dukinfield Dunham Massey Dunham Town Dunham Woodhouses Dunscar Durn Eagley Eccles Edge Fold Edgeley Egerton Elton Failsworth Fallowfield Far Moor Farnworth Firgrove Fishpool Flixton Four Gates Gathurst Gatley Gee Cross Godley Golborne Goose Green Gorton Grains Bar Grasscroft Great Howarth Greenfield Greenheys Greenmount Grotton Guide Haigh Hale Halebarns Halliwell Harpurhey Harrop Dale Harwood Harwood Lee Hattersley Haughton Green Hawk Green Hawkshaw Hazel Grove Hazelhurst Heald Green Heap Bridge Heath Charnock Heatley Heaton Heaton Chapel Heaton Mersey Heaton Moor Heaton Norris Heaviley Heavily Heyheads Heyrod Heyside Heywood Higginshaw High Lane Higher Irlam Hindley Hindley Green Holcombe Holcombe Brook Hollinfare Hollingworth Hollins Hooley Bridge Hopwood Horrocks Fold Horwich Howe Bridge Hulme Hulton Lane Ends Hurst Hurstead Hyde Ince Irlam Kearsley Kings Moss Kitt Green Lane Head Langley Lees Leigh Levenshulme Limefield Little Hulton Little Lever Littleborough Longshaw Common Longsight Lostock Lostock Hall Fold Lostock Junction Low Common Lower Bredbury Lower Green Lower Irlam Lower Place Lowton Lowton Common Lowton St Mary's Luzley Lydgate Lydgate - Saddleworth Manchester Marple Marple Bridge Marsh Green Marylebone Matley Mellor Middleton Miles Platting Mill Brow Millbrook Milnrow Montcliffe Monton Moorside Moses Gate Mossbrow Mossley Moston Mottram New Bury New Delph New Houses New Springs Newhey Newton Heath Newtown Norden Northenden Offerton Old Trafford Oldham Openshaw Orrell Orrell Post Outwood Gate Over Hulton Park Bridge Partington Patricroft Pemberton Pendlebury Pennington Green Pitses Plank Lane Platt Bridge Prestolee Prestwich Radcliffe Rainsough Rakewood Ramsbottom Red Lumb Red Rock Reddish Redvales Rhodes Ringley Rochdale Roe Cross Roe Green Romiley Royton Rusholme Sale Salford Salford Quays Scholes Scot Lane End Scouthead Sedgley Park Shaw Shawclough Shevington Shevington Moor Shevington Vale Shore Sinderland Green Slackcote Slattocks Smallbridge Smithy Green Smithybridge South Reddish Springhead Stalybridge Stand Standish Standish Lower Ground Starling Stepping Hill Stockport Stretford Strines Strinesdale Stubshaw Cross Sudden Summit - Rochdale Summit - Royton Swinton Syke Tamer Lane End Thurston Clough Timperley Top of Hebers Toppings Tottington Town Lane Trafford Park Turton Tyldesley Unsworth Upholland Uppermill Urmston Walkden Walmersley Walshaw Warburton Wardle Wardley Water's Nook Weaste Werneth Low West Timperley Westhoughton Whalley Range Whitefield Wigan Windlehurst Wingates Winstanley Withington Wolstenholme Woodford Woodhouses Woodley Woolfold Worsley Worsley Mesnes
