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

• the legs work almost within body depth. This creates the least resistance to forward motion

Floating

Vertical 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.

• vertical body position

• head back slightly

• arms outstretched sideways
