... Jumping EntriesPrior 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. WITH HELPER ON THE SIDE • helper secured and holding pupil's hand Teaching Points • toes over the edge • bend knees on landing Considerations • suitable for those with confidence • pupils must normally be able to stand in the water • not suitable in very shallow water WITH HELPER IN THE WATER • helper reaches towards the child Considerations • helper must be confident in the water • helper should be an adult UNAIDED Once the pupil can jump confidently to a helper in the water the next step is to jump unaided.

Body Position Key Points • prone, face down with the crown of the head leading • horizontal with an undulating, wave-like movement from head to toe • shoulders are kept level Swimming Lessons MerseysideFloatingSupine 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 MerseysideAigburth Ainsdale Aintree Allerton Anfield Barnston Bebington Belle Vale Bidston Billinge Birkenhead Blundellsands Bold Heath Bootle Bowring Park Brighton le Sands Brimstage Broadgreen Bromborough Caldy Chadwick Green Childwall Churchtown Clock Face Clubmoor Crank Cronton Crossens Croxteth Dentons Green Dingle Dovecot Earlestown Eastham Eccleston Ecclestone Park Edge Hill Fairfield Fazakerley Formby Frankby Freshfield Garston Gateacre Gayton Grange Grassendale Park Greasby Halewood Halewood Haydock Heswall Higher Bebington Hightown Hoylake Hunt's Cross Huyton Ince Blundell Irby Kensington Kirkby Kirkdale Knotty Ash Knowsley Litherland Liverpool Low Hill Lunt Lydiate Maghull Marshside Melling Meols Moreton Moss Bank Mossley Hill Netherley New Brighton New Ferry Newton le Willows Norris Green Old Roan Old Swan Orrell Park Page Moss Parr Pensby Port Sunlight Prenton Prescot Princes Park Raby Rainford Rainhill Roby Rock Ferry Sandfield Park Saughall Massie Seacombe Seaforth Sefton Sefton Park Simonswood Southport Speke Spital St Helens Stanley Stockbridge Village Stoneycroft Storeton Sutton Sutton Leach Sutton Manor Tarbock Tarbock Green Thatto Heath The Burrows Thingwall Thornton Thornton Hough Thurstaston Toxteth Tranmere Tuebrook Upton Wallasey Walton Waterloo Wavertree West Derby West Kirby Whiston
