Pool and lesson time

This is what we train on

Water habits remain an important part and we practice a lot bubble, float, jump and move in different directions in the water. We also start kicking on our back and stomach, as well as practicing the arms in the backcrawl. To be safe in deep water, we train bubbling, jumping and gliding in back and stomach positions in a deep pool.

Objectives

Rotate from back to stomach positions, without putting your feet on the bottom
Swim 10 meters backcrawl in shallow water
Be safe in deep water (be able to bubble, jump and glide into the edge on back and stomach position)
