Fill a clear water bottle with water so that it sinks and have two teams of children all trying to find it. This is a great way to work on submersion, breathe control, floating, gliding and kicking – a game for all levels!
Problem; swimmers pulls right under tummy when swimming breaststroke. Solution; lie swimmers on poolside and practice breaststroke arms against the wall.
Toys in the bath are great for eye tracking, eye hand co-ordination and developing fine motor skills.
Game: Kick of War. Swimmers hold either side of a kick board, then they put their face in the water and kick as hard as they can against their partner. The winner is the person who moved forward the most distance. This is a great game to improve kick speed and efficiency.
Need some ideas to help your kids float better on their backs? Using words like hips up, ears in the water and chin up are all helpful terms to use to help the kids understand what they need to do with their bodies. Adding a little bit of propulsion with a little bit of sculling with their hands or little kicks with their feet will help too.
Remind your swimmers to look at the bottom of the pool for correct body position. Try front floating in an X position, then a Y, then an I. Now we are in a streamline position!
Can you put the yellow ball in the yellow bucket? A great activity for children to develop their language skills and learn colours alongside improving confidence in the water and crossing midlines too.
Tying a noddle in a knot makes great 'handlebars' and is a good progression from having the noodle under the arms. It encourages independence from the noodle while still giving support. It also enables swimmers to feel the water and how to balance in it.
Use an underwater camera in your lesson. The swimmers go under and take each others picture of their funny face – great for submersion and breathe control.
Use magnetic letters as sinking toys, if they don't sink as fast as you like - stick some blutack on them. You can use colours, have team relays, spell words – there are so many options whilst learning activities such as submersion and breathe control. They are also a great bit of equipment to use on a forehead in back work.
Cut a duck or animal from an ice cream lid and cut some sponges/noodles into flower/circle shapes. Make a small slit in your sponge/noodle and glue your duck into it (water proof glue works best). As the sponge absorbs the water the ducks begin to submerge. The aim of the game is to collect the ducks before they sink.

Teaching floating and regaining feet in shallow water gets amazing results. Use of the ramp or ‘beach’ at a pool, and slowly getting deeper gives children the confidence to try as they can touch the bottom with their hands.
DECEMBER "FAST AND FURIOUS" CLUB NIGHT DETAILS ARE NOW HOT OFF THE PRESS!!
Using two boards to teach floating and regaining feet gives the swimmer plenty of support and the ability to progressively reduce their own hold on the boards. This works for both front and back floats.
Standing up and looking down onto baby when teaching back floats ensures parent and child retain eye contact.
Balance a bottle of water on forehead while performing backstroke. This helps to keep the head still and inline with the spine whilst performing the whole stroke. Start off with kicking to get a feel for balance then add in streamline arms. When ready add in the stroke!
Encourage eyes open under water with or without goggles - swim teacher can paint each finger and toe nail a different bright colour and ask the child to go under the water and touch the relevant finger or toe of a colour. That way, the swim teacher knows he/she is opening their eyes!
Hoops can be used in a variety of different ways for different skills. Try placing it on top of the water and encourage beginners to lean forward and blow bubbles in it. Or older swimmers can swim under water and surface in the middle of it and jump out of it horizontally (helps with Butterfly undulation). Or with supervision, children can jump into it from standing on the poolside. All these exercises help with confidence, co-ordination, vestibular and proprioception.
Roll the dice, now find the right animal. How you get there is up to you, blow bubbles, walking, kicking, freestyle or backstroke.
Looking for a new idea for a floating mat? What about a rainbow/noodle tunnel? From crawling, to sliding and playing peek-a-boo, your swimmers will love it.
Encourage beginner swimmers to press the water from entry to exit building a feel for the water. Then encourage big straight arms by using "from thigh to sky" which works on gross motor skills. You can work on this when standing, walking, walking with eyes in and continue when you add the stroke to the automatic kick.
For faster and more efficient turns use your core not your hands. First, get a noodle, stand in the shallow and grab the noodle at both ends. Take a breath ready to breathe out through your nose. Push off the bottom of the pool, and flip inside the noodle. Keep hold of the noodle and try not to press down with your hands. After your flip, stand straight up and try it again. Try and do it quicker and faster each time.
Having trouble teaching breathing? Why not use the wall to help support the swimmers arm so they can gain a feel for their breathing position before trying to move down the pool.
Here's a good drill for breathing practice. Slow down swimmers breathing to let them focus on the breath with one arm rotation at a time. Count to six and roll to breathe with one arm circle. Breathing can be done on the same side or can alternate.
A great game to play to build confidence in the water is Salmon Says. Salmon Says run around, Salmon Says wash your face, Salmon Says get your ears wet, Salmon Says blow some bubbles.
Truck and trailer is a great game to play with your more advanced swimmers. Get swimmers to concentrate on their arms and legs while experiencing drag and resistance.
Humming – This will help prevent water from going up your nose as you submerge! Simply close your mouth, start humming and slowly sink beneath the water. Bubbles will come out of your nose! Great fun for the children to try. They are always surprised when they do this for the first time. If bubbles are coming down your nose, water cannot go up so it’s a great little tool for beginners who are scared of water going up their noses.
We all know that safety at the pool starts before you enter the water. Kres from South Otago Kindergarten Association knows that children are very visual so has designed cue cards with pictures to support the language & actions used around the pool. The cards really work with children and the parents are also on board with reinforcing these water safety messages.
Looking for ways to build your child's water confidence whilst singing a song? Wheels on the bus is a great way to get your child moving through the water, jumping up and down, blowing some bubbles and splashing.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the water in the bath. Try filling cups with water and using them as little shower buckets. Try wetting different parts of the body, talking about them as you go along. Talk about the cups being full or empty, heavy or light and ask what colours they are. These are all great ways to support body recognition and language development while enjoying bath time.
Will it float or will it sink? Kids love learning about water and how it works. Explore what floats and what sinks and why. Who can make a boat to sail in the water? Whose sailed the best? Why? What kind of resources can be used to make these boats? Encourage your kids to think about why things float and sink - and then transfer this information into their swimming activities too.
Peer teaching can be a handy tool to use when you have many students in your class. This way the children are able to practice more often and reinforce their own learning by having a turn as the “teacher”. Be sure to reinforce the key teaching points of your activity before they set off.
Getting into and out of the water safely is a really important skill to master. Consider how you can get into and out of your water environment safely. There may not always be stairs or a sloping ramp available. Take the time to look for safe entry and exit points and remember that these may change from time to time especially with changes in the weather etc.
Have you ever tried to be a yo-yo in the pool? It is done in partners (each have a turn being the “yo-yo”) and is used to help understand how air inhaled with breath-holding helps you float and exhaled helps you sink. Each partner holds breath at first and is gently pushed under the water – they will “bob” back up to the surface and the action is repeated – like a “yo-yo”.
Not keen on filling the bath for some fun time in the water? Use a bucket! Remember whether bathing your baby in a bucket, bath or shower 100% supervision is required.
Try teaching arm circles while your students are standing. You can talk about what you are seeing plus correct and reinforce while your swimmers are practicing the skill.
Encourage playtime with your children in the shower - place a non-slip mat on the floor of the shower remove the shower head and allow your child to experience the joy of water splashing, trickling, dripping over them. Extra towels on the floor to absorb any excess water will prevent any slips. Ensure 100% supervision at bath and shower time.
Freestyle breathing position in pairs encourages keeping the head on the side and eyes looking across the water (helps eliminate over rolling onto the back). Remember to swap sides to practice bi-lateral breathing on the way back.
Write letters on materials that sink or float and get swimmers to find the pieces to create words and put them on the edge on the pool once they have created a word.
To assist less confident children with prone floating, position their arms on a kick board in the corner of the pool. They feel more in control of the small space around them.
Noodle train! A great way to explore the pool as a group, good for water confidence too and so much fun. For an extra you can tow the kids around the pool.
Encourage water confidence and making water play fun by having an outside shower.
Spend time in the water and encourage fun play and bonding. Use a waterproof mirror or underwater camera to encourage children to open eyes and look down when preforming a starfish float.
These drills are meant to help more advanced swimmers feel their kick. Flutter kick on your side - use a kick board or similar in the lead hand and look at pool side with shoulder and hip on top of the water. Kick with fins. Kick across pool with head up. If your swimmer can do this and keep their mouth above water for breathing, they know they have a very strong kick.
Remember to wear your life jacket whenever you go fishing whether it is from the bank of the river, from the wharf or on the rocks.
Treading water is a great skill to learn and should be taught if you have access to deep water. You never know this skill can come in handy if your swimmers decide to give water polo a go!
Teaching your swimmers about pool depths and where they can safely swim is a great way to help build their confidence in the water. Encourage your children to investigate the different pool depths they may experience both at school and in their local community. Have them measure pool depths on the walls so they can stand against them and see where the water level will reach. This will be an excellent maths activity for the classroom too!
Teaching your kids about being safe in, on and around the water is really important. It is important to also remember that this can be done in ways other than just spending time in the water. Have you considered sitting down with your kids and getting them to draw pictures reflecting their water safety ideas? This would be a great activity to do over the school holidays or the weekend. Our environment changes all the time with heavy rain and stormy weather so being aware of these things could make a big difference to your safety.
Remember to practice what you preach! It is very important to wear a life jacket when recreating in, on or around water. The best way for children to learn this is by you modelling the behaviour.
Swimming in clothes can be a valuable lesson for all swimmers to take part in. Start on land with two big buckets of water - one filled with clothes and the other filled with togs. Get the kids to feel the weight of the clothes and the togs by pulling them from the water. Which ones are heavier? Discuss how this transfers to the pool/river/beach etc. Encourage your children to always swim in correct swimwear.
Small children don’t always instinctively know how to blow bubbles. We can end up with lots of coughing and spluttering if we try to teach pre-schoolers to blow bubbles in water if they have not already mastered the skills of blowing out on cue. Playing with bubbles in the sink and blowing bubbles through the ring are great ways to encourage pre-schoolers to blow as opposed to suck. Dishwashing liquid and water make for hours of fun. Blowing bubbles can be an inside game over the sink. Language like big and small, soft and hard, fat checks, skinny checks can also be used.
Try teaching streamline out of the pool. Standing straight with feet and legs together, arms are at full stretch above your head and behind your ears. It can be easier to make corrections and if your swimmers stand in front of a mirror they can see what they look like.
Spending time in the water with your child is a great way to bond with your child. Holding them, talking to them about the water and playing with them will help them to see the water positively, have lots of fun and it's a great way to get fit too!
If you want to wear goggles in an open water race put your goggles on before you put your cap on, they will stay put and not fall off. The start of a race is very crowded and hectic and it is easy for someone to knock your goggles off.
Have you tried doing a stationary scull to assist a static float? Or experimenting with different shapes? This photo shows a star shape and the group then tried rotating one way then the other, while maintaining a streamlined position as an extra challenge. This practice helps to understand the importance of sculling – tilt the hand to push the water in one direction and the body moves in the opposite direction (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).

A cheap water toy for the sink, bath or pool. Make holes in the bottom of a water bottle that has a valve to open and close it. Fill the water bottle and replace the lid with the valve closed. When lifted out of the water the bottle won’t let water out of the holes. When the valve is opened the water will sprinkle out the holes like a shower (Water tightness will depend on the number and size of the holes).
Experiment with everyday pieces of equipment as floatation devices – equipment such as balls, buckets chilly bins may one day save your life. Also great to introduce into everyday lessons for use with kicking for something different.
Self reflection is a really important part of everything we do. Reflecting helps us to identify what has worked well for us in our swimming classes and what we can try to do differently. When you have new staff training as buddy teachers, encourage them to keep a journal of what they are learning in the pool. Get them to note down what they are enjoying and any questions they have. This can be a great way to support their learning and enables them to critically reflect on their learning experiences. It also helps managers to identify future learning needs for each individual person.

Crossing centre lines and moving both sides of the body are imperative for successful swimming. Catching bubbles is an excellent way to work on crossing centre lines and hand eye co ordination. Challenge your swimmers to catch bubbles with certain parts of their bodies, pop them between their fingers or catch them gently without making any pop! Bubbles could be used as a game at the end of a class or as an activity to break up a skill set. You could even use them to teach beginner swimmers to blow their air out as they blow their own bubbles through a bubble wand.
Encouraging your children to go under the water by creeping under a hoop into a group of toys can be a fun way to get them engaged. "Who can go under the hoop and pop up into the toys? Who can grab a blue ball and then creep back under the hoop to escape?" It is also a great way to teach your swimmers about spatial awareness and how they have to move their bodies to fit under the hoop without touching it.

Learning to somersault in the water is important for learning to tumble turn. Stand in the shallow end of the pool with a noodle. Grab the noodle at both ends with both hands, take a big breath and get ready to exhale water through your nose. Push off the bottom of the pool and do a somersault inside the noodle, try to go straight over and hold onto the noodle at all times, then stand up. Each time try to go a little faster.
Learning to somersault in the water is important for learning to tumble turn. Try using the lane rope to encourage your swimmers to form a tight turn - get your swimmers to stand with their tummy against the lane rope and then tumble turn all the way around the lane rope and land where they started. The lane rope can be a great point of reference to help them picture how to move their bodies and achieve a nice tight turn
To encourage your swimmers to finish swimming with both hands on the wall, try placing suction toys onto the wall for your swimmers to touch at the end of each length. This will encourage best practice from a young age and will motivate your swimmers to swim a full length right to end each time they are swimming.

Try explaining that superhero’s have to keep their arm floating in order to fly through the skies, just like swimmers need to keep their lead arm high to move through the water most effectively. This is a great way to encourage imagination and creativity in your classes!

What helps you to float? Try floating with a variety of different aids to see what helps you to float. Doing this in the water makes it easier to float and you use less energy. This is an important survival skill everyone can practice.
Hearing and seeing the instructions are really important for learning. This can be really difficult in a noisy pool environment and even more so in an outdoor pool. Get down low so your swimmers can hear you and remember to do correct demonstrations.

Golden Bay Swimming Club are ready to help more people in their community this summer after five of their volunteers completed their Swimming New Zealand Swim Teacher Award (SNZ STA).
Do you need some interesting ways to get your students thinking about their swimming lessons? Try getting your children to reflect on their swimming experiences and encourage them to write down what they are enjoying and what they would like to achieve. Ranking their level of enjoyment in the pool is a great indicator for both students and teachers to gauge how someone is feeling about the whole experience and provides opportunities for discussions to take place about their interests, goals or fears. These are great ways to link the swimming experience to the curriculum areas of thinking, relating to others, managing self and participating and contributing.
Floating while holding onto a rail/pool edge is a great way to work with a large number of swimmers at once. Every swimmer can be on task working to their ability while you as the teacher assist and provide feedback individually. Remember to look for eyes down, long arms and a long relaxed body.
A great activity to do dry land. Assume a superman position on the ground and then keeping your legs off the ground, kick from your hips. A good activity to see very quickly who is kicking from the hips. Easy to correct as you can hold the swimmers knees and guide them through a correct kick and talk about how it feels.
Congratulations Sue from Central Swim School, Alexandra on this great idea for your preschool classes. Sue has incorporated a pond of flowers into her lessons which her children love!
