Safety awareness
It is important that children practice a wide range of activities that differ from the regular routine of lessons. Kids are all individuals and what some find easy, others find hard. But just as important as swimming well is being able to identify what is dangerous and what is safer. For example we have seen lots of kids who can swim freestyle yet are unable to climb out of a pool. Parents need to challenge and educate children about how to be safe and back this up with practicing a variety of safety skills.
4 steps to becoming safer:
1. Climbing out
2. finding safety (changing direction)
3. Front and back transitions
4. Deep water recovery
