Swimming Activity Descriptions to Ensure You Are Registering in the Correct Level, Review the Following Activity Descriptions
Swimming Activity Descriptions To ensure you are registering in the correct level, review the following activity descriptions. Customer safety and comfort are our primary concern. Should there be an issue with the potential safety or comfort of your child in our program, we may be required to make adjustments to your registration. In the event that a customer is unable to attend a class(es), the Town regrets that make-up class (es) will not be offered. Parent & Tot 4 months - Especially for children aged 4 months to 3+ years and their caregivers. Based on the principle ―Within Arms 3 years Reach‖, the Parent & Tot levels focus on close playful interaction and shared fun between child, caregiver and water. Activities and progressions are based on child development and caregivers learn what it takes to make Water Smart® choices. Preschool programs give children a head start on learning to swim and are geared to help them develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water. Progressions work to ensure 3-5 year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun developing a foun- dation of water skills. Water Smart education is incorporated into all Preschool levels. Preschool 1 3-5 years These preschoolers learn to get in and out of the water safely. They'll learn to move safely in shallow water and use a lifejacket to be comfortable with their floats and glides. Preschool 2 3-5 years These youngsters will explore the water learning to submerge and exhale underwater. Buoyant aids are used to help them discover rollovers, glides and flutter kicks.

Di Paola: Assessment of Swimming and Survival Skills Abstract Assessment of swimming and survival skills is a crucial part of any swimming and lifesaving programme. Unfortunately, quite often, it is also the weakest part of the programme itself. Inadequate skills assessment and verification might lead to ineffective skills acquisition and development, to a false sense of safety and over confidence in the water that can be extremely dangerous. Assessor experience and observation skills, assessment methodology, and criteria are all closely inter-linked and their interaction will somehow determine the assessment outcomes.

Swimming Study Guide
SWIMMING STUDY GUIDE History: The English are thought to be the first to develop competition swimming, which began in London in 1837. The most popular stroke was breaststroke. In 1896 swimming was first seen in the Olympic games as a men’s event. It wasn’t until 1912 that it became an event for women. FRONT CRAWL The front crawl is the fastest and one of the most efficient strokes. It is one of the four competitive strokes. Body Position: The swimmer is in a prone horizontal position with the body flat on the surface of the water. The head and body are aligned with the water line approximately at the middle of the forehead. The arms and legs are extended. Arm Action: (catch, grab, pull, push, lift and throw) The arms provide most of the propulsive force. The hand goes into the water thumb down, fingertips first, with the palm facing down and out diagonally. The elbow is higher than the hand. The hand enters in front of the shoulder, not crossing the center of the body, thumb aligned with the shoulder. The arm is not quite fully extended as it enters the water. The arm then pulls outward, downward and back forming an inverted S pattern. Throughout the pull the elbow should be higher than the hand. On recovery the arm comes out of the water pinkie first and comes from back to front in a rounded, relaxed movement. The arm should be kept close to the water. Leg Action: The flutter kick is used, which is an alternating up and down action of the legs.
