Underwater Practices

Submerging 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

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 - floatingThe 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.
