The start of something extraordinary

Floating

 

Ball floats are a fun way to teach your swimmers about floating and buoyancy.

Swimmers hold knees to their chest, look at the bottom of the pool and float in a ball.

Add challenge by blowing bubbles vs holding breath, pair your swimmers and have a game of basketball (one person is a ball and the other person bounces them gently).

Or try rocking and rolling the ball, or even rolling the ball over in a tumble turn.
