... Entering the Water Teaching the non-swimmer to enter the water safely is an important starting point. This can be achieved through a variety of methods and must be appropriate to the needs of the individual. STEPPING DOWN THE LADDER Teaching Points • face the steps • hold with both hands • one step at a time Considerations • useful for the nervous • time consuming if done with large numbers SITTING ENTRY Teaching Points • both hands to one side • turn to face the wall • lower the body carefully Swimming Lessons Isle Of WightBack CrawlSome learners prefer Back Crawl because the face is clear of the water and breathing is easy. Back Crawl, with its continuous, alternating actions, is the most efficient backstroke and invariably used in backstroke competition. There are obvious similarities between Front Crawl and Back Crawl. These associations are useful when pupils are reminded of a skill or a part of a skill which is familiar to them. Body Position Key Points • supine, horizontal and streamlined • the head is pillowed in the water, ears just submerged • the head is kept still, eyes look upwards or slightly towards the feet • the chin may be tucked down slightly to help to keep the legs in the water • the hips must be close to the surface • the shoulders lean or roll into the stroke • there is a slight slope down from head to hips to keep the legs in the water • the legs tend to sway towards the pulling arm. This is kept to a minimum by an efficient leg action Leg Action The leg action helps to maintain the horizontal body position and balances the arm action. This minimises the tendency for the legs to sway from side to side. It may contribute some propulsion, Key Points • the continuous up and down alternating action is initiated at the hips • the legs work close together, big toes nearly brushing past each other • the legs are almost straight with the knees staying below the surface • the ankles are relaxed to allow the toes to point - (plantar flexed) and to in-toe naturally • the feet kick to the surface at the end of the upbeat without splashing Swimming Lessons Isle Of WightFloatingAlphabet Floats

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.
