... 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 SussexBack 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 SussexFloatingSupine 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 SussexAdversane Albourne Alciston E Aldingbourne Aldwick Alfriston E Amberley Angmering Ansty Apuldram Ardingly Arlington Arundel Ashington Ashurst Ashurstwood Balcombe Balls Cross Balls Green Barcombe Barcombe Cross Barlavington Barnham Barns Green W Battle Beckley Beddingham Bedham Bepton Berwick BexhiIl Billingshurst Bilsham Birchgrove Birdham Bishopstone Blackboys Blackstone Bodiam Bodle Street Green Bognor Regis Bolney Botolphs Boxgrove Bramber Brede Brightling Brighton Broad Oak Broad Street Broadbridge Broadford Bridge Broadland Row Broadoak Broadwater Bucks Green Burgess Hill Burpham Burwash Burwash Common Burwash Weald Bury Buxted Byworth Cade Street Camber Catsfield Chailey Chalvington Charlton Chelwood Gate Chichester ChiddingIy Chilgrove Chithurst Church Norton Clapham ClayhiIl Cliff End Climping Coates Cock Marling Cocking Cocking Causeway CodmoreHiII Coldean Coldwaltham Coleman's Hatch Colgate Colworth Compton Coneyhurst Common Cooden Coolham Copsale Copthorne Cousley Wood Cowbeech Cowfold Crabtree Crawley Crawley Down Cross in Hand Crowborough Cuckfield Danehill Dell Quay Denton Dial Green Didling Donnington Duncton Durrington Earnley Eartham Easebourne East Ashling East Blatchington East Dean East Grinstead East Guldeford East Hoathly East Lavant East Marden East Preston East Wittering Eastergate Edburton Elsted Emsworth Etchingham Ewhurst Fairlight Fairwarp Falmer Faygate Felpham Fernhurst Ferring Findon Five Ash Down Five Ashes Five Oaks Flansham Fletching Folkington Fontwell Ford Forest Row Framfield Friston Fulking Funtington Glynde Goring-by-Sea Graffham Greatham Guestling Green Guestling Thorn Gun Hill Hadlow Down Hailsham Halland Halnaker Hambrook Hampden Park Hamsey Handcross Hangleton HartfieId Hassocks Haywards Heath Hellingly Henfield Henley Henley's Down Heyshott Hickstead High Hurstwood High Salvington Highbrook Highleigh Hollingbury Hooe Hooe Common Horam Horsebridge Horsham Horsted Keynes Houghton Houghton Green Hunston Hurst Green Icklesham Iden Ifield Iford Iping Itchingfield Jevington Keymer Kingsfold Kingsley Green Kingston by Sea Kingston near Lewes Kirdford Lambs Green Lancing Langney Laughton Lewes Lickfold Lindfield Litlington Littlehampton Lodsworth Lower Beeding Lower Willingdon Lowfield Heath Loxwood Lurgashall Lye Green Lyminster Magham Down Manning's Heath Maplehurst Maresfield Mark Cross Mayfield Merston Mid Lavant Middleton on Sea Midhurst Mile Oak Millcorner Minsted Monk's Gate Moulsecoomb Mountfield Muddles Green Neathfield Netherfield New Town Newhaven Newick Ninfield North Bersted North Common North End North Mundham North Stoke Northchapel Northiam Norton Norton Nutbourne Nutbourne Nuthurst NutIey Nyetimber Nyton Offham Offham Old Shoreham Old Town Ore Oving Ovingdean Oxley's Green Pagham Pangdean Partridge Green Patcham Patching Peacehaven Pease Pottage Peasmarsh Pett Petworth Pevensey Piddinghoe Piltdown Plaistow Playden Plumpton Plumpton Green Polegate Poling Poling Corner Ponts Green Portslade Portslade-by-Sea Punnett's Town Pyecombe Ratton Village Redford Ridgewood Ringmer Rinsted Ripe River Robsrtsbridge Rodmell Roffey Rose Green Rose Lands Rotherfield Runcton Rusper Rustington Rye Rye Foreign Saddlescombe Salehurst Saltdean Scayne's HiII Seaford Selham Selmeston Selsey Shipley Shipton Green Shoreham-by-Sea Shripney Sidlesham Sidley Singleton Slauham Slindon Slinfold Somerley Sompting South Ambersham South Bersted South Mundham South Stoke Southbourne Southease Southwater Southwick Sparrows Green Splayne's Green St Anthony's Hill St Leonards Stanmer Staple Cross Staplefield Stedham Stonegate Stopham Storrington Stoughton Streat Street End Strettington Summersdale Sutton Sutton Sweethaws Swiftsden Tangmere Tarring Neville Telscombe Thakeham Three Bridges Three Cups Corner Three Leg Cross Three Oaks Ticehurst Tidebrook Tilgate Tillington Tinsley Green Tortington Tote HiII Town Littleworth Treyford Turner's Hill Twelve Oaks Twineham Uckfield Udimore Upper Dicker Upper Hartfield Upper Norwood Upper Wellingham Upperton Upwaltham Vine's Cross Wadhurst Walberton Waldron Wannock Warnham Warningcamp Warninglid Wartling Washington Waterbeach Watersfield Wepham West Ashling West Blatchington West Chiltington West Dean West Firle West Grinstead West Hoathly West Itchenor West Lavington West Marden West Preston West Stoke West Town West Wittering West Worthing Westbourne Westdean Westergate Westham Westhampnett Westmeston Whatlington Whiligh Whitesmith Wick Willingdon Wilmington Winchelsea Windmill Hill Wineham Wisborough Green Wiston Withdean Witherenden Hill Withyham Wivelsfield Wivelsfield Green Woodend Woodgate Woodingdean Woodmancote Woodmancote Woodmansgreen Wood's Corner Wood's Green Woolbeding Worlds End Worth Worthing Yapton
