🏊‍♂️ In the Swimming Pool: Water Confidence & Safety

First safety skill

This essential water safety skill teaches children how to jump into the pool, turn underwater, swim back to the side, reach the wall, and climb out safely. It's a life-saving technique that helps kids develop confidence and independence in the water

Back floating

Back floating is an essential water safety skill that helps children stay calm and safe in the water. It teaches them how to relax, breathe, and trust the water’s support. This skill progresses from a safe hold to independent back floating.

Front floating

Front floating is one of the first steps in learning to swim. It helps children develop breath control, confidence, and balance in the water. This skill progresses from a secure hold to independent front floating in a big pool.

Independent swim

In this section, children will learn how to swim independently by mastering front floating, rolling onto their back, and controlling their breath. This technique not only helps them swim longer distances but also teaches an essential water safety skill—resting on their back when they need a break.
