... 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. 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 Swimming Lessons WalesBreaststrokeBreaststroke is the oldest and slowest of the four competitive strokes. It is the slowest because it is the least streamlined. There are several styles which can be developed as the skill level increases. Breaststroke is a popular recreational stroke because:- (i) Breathing is easy (ii) Swimmers can see where they are going (iii) A rest may be taken in the glide position Body Position Key Points • the body should be as horizontal as stroke movements allow. This means that there is a greater slope down to the seat than in other strokes in order to keep the leg action in the water • good floaters find it easy to achieve a stable, almost horizontal position. Poor floaters usually need to lift and lower the head every stroke cycle • ASA Law states that the shoulders must be horizontal. This helps to avoid uneven leg actions Swimming Lessons WalesFloatingProne Float
This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position. Key Points • take a breath • lean forward to face down position • lift the legs • make a star shape • relax • keep the head down Swimming Lessons WalesAberaeron, Aberdare, Abergavenny, Abergele, Abertillery, Aberystwyth, Amlwch, AmmanfordBala, Bangor, Bargoed, Barmouth, Barry, Beaumaris, Bethesda, Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Blaenavon, Brecon, Bridgend, Briton Ferry, Brynmawr, Buckley, Builth Wells, Burry Port Caernarfon, Caerphilly, Caldicot, Cardiff, Cardigan, Carmarthen, Chepstow, Chirk, Colwyn Bay, Connah's Quay, Conwy, Corwen, Cowbridge, Criccieth, Crickhowell, Cwmbran Denbigh, Dolgellau Ebbw Vale Ffestiniog, Fishguard, Flint Glanamman, Glynneath, Gorseinon Harlech, Haverfordwest, Hawarden, Hay-on-Wye, Holyhead, Holywell Kidwelly, Knighton Lampeter, Laugharne, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Llandrindod Wells, Llandudno, Llanelli, Llanfairfechan, Llanfyllin, Llangefni, Llangollen, Llanidloes, Llanrwst, Llantrisant, Llantwit Major, Llanwrtyd Wells, Loughor Machynlleth, Maerdy, Maesteg, Menai Bridge, Merthyr Tydfil, Milford Haven, Mold, Monmouth, Montgomery, Mostyn Narberth, Neath, Newborough, Newcastle Emlyn, Newport, Newport, Pembrokeshire, New Quay, Newtown, Neyland Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Penarth, Pencoed, Penmaenmawr, Pontardawe, Pontypridd, Porth, Porthcawl, Porthmadog, Port Talbot, Prestatyn, Presteigne, Pwllheli Queensferry Rhayader, Rhuddlan, Rhyl, Ruthin, Risca St Asaph, St Clears, St David's, Saltney, Shotton, Swansea Talgarth, Tenby, Tonypandy, Tredegar, Tregaron, Treorchy, Tywyn Usk Welshpool, Whitland, Wrexham Ystradgynlais
