... 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 Isle Of ManTeaching 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 Isle Of ManFloatingVertical Float
As the name indicates, the body is upright. This float is for those who are confident and safe in deep water and who find horizontal floating difficult. The arms are outstretched sideways and the head tilted slightly back. In undisturbed water it is possible to experiment with the effects of breathing out and breathing in, in relation to how low or high the pupils float in the water. Key Points • vertical body position • head back slightly • arms outstretched sideways Swimming Lessons Isle Of ManCronk y Voddy-Isle of Man (near Douglas) Glen Auldyn-Isle of Man (near Andreas) Glen Maye-Isle of Man (near Castletown) Glen Mona-Isle of Man (near Laxey) Glen Vine-Isle of Man (near Douglas) Jurby East-Isle of Man (near Andreas) Kirk Michael-Isle of Man (near Laxey) Lower Foxdale-Isle of Man (near Douglas) Old Laxey-Isle of Man (near Laxey) Port Erin-Isle of Man (near Castletown) Port Soderick-Isle of Man (near Douglas) Port St Mary-Isle of Man (near Castletown) St John's-Isle of Man (near Douglas) St Jude's-Isle of Man (near Andreas) St Marks-Isle of Man (near Castletown) The Bungalow-Isle of Man (near Laxey) The Cronk-Isle of Man (near Andreas) The Lhen-Isle of Man (near Andreas) Union Mills-Isle of Man (near Douglas)
