Jumping Entries

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.

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. At this point it is vital to stress:

Teaching Points

• look forwards

• stress feet first entry

Benefits of an unaided jumping entry

• al lows the whole group to enter at the same time

• saves time

• is good fun

Butterfly

Butterfly is the most recent of the strokes and is second in relation to speed, to Front Crawl

Although the competitive Butterfly stroke is physically demanding, variations on the theme of Butterfly can be enjoyable activities that need not be too difficult. The potential to compete is developed gradually and learning the stroke should be fun. Babies often produce a dolphin type leg action without prompting.

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

Floating

Alphabet Floats

swimming lessons - floating 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.

Although clearly good fun for younger pupils, tutors often find that adults enjoy practicing this in their lessons as a means of relaxing.
