ShArks Swimming

If at any stage your Child seems Highly Stressed by

an activity I will stop IMMEDIATELY, and allow your child

time to relax and work on other activities. I will return to that drill later if your child is relaxed and comfortable. I will work at your Childs Pace, If they are comfortable with this skill then move on. I will Always consider environment factors when swimming with your child, If conditions change that may have an adverse effect on your child I will STOP!

Little ShArks

  • Sing, Laugh, Play.

  • Various games, songs, activities around going underwater, which includes putting your mouth, face, or eyes underwater. Ultimate goal is the participant going underwater completely on their own repeatedly with ease.

  • Jumps from the side with support

  • I will always ask your Child, if they want to go underwater on each jump. Follow up on their request. Eventually they’ll agree to going underwater which can be a key sign they’re ready for ShArks Swimming Level.

  • Supported front glides with the instructor.

  • Supported back glides with the instructor.

Helpful Hints

Children that experience anxiety sometimes claw their way out of the pool and go to their parents this is to be expected. We will have kids that cry, that refuse to participate, and will be afraid of leaving their parents. We will need special attention devoted to these levels. To make certain we deal with crying participants. We recommend we maintain a ratio of 1:1 at most for these levels.

The ShArks

​​

  • Sing, Laugh, Play

  • Various games, and activities around doing glides, moving through the water, traveling, and changing locations. Games will primarily be designed around personal challenges.

  • Jumps from the side. Swimmers should be jumping in on their own here.

  • Practice jumping in, recovering on own or with support and transitioning into a back float/glide, and then using kicks or arms to move to wall. (Waving to there parents).

  • Supported front glides with the instructor that transition over the course of the class to streamlines without support.

  • Supported back glides with the instructor that transition over the course of the class to streamlines without support.

The ShArks 1-10 coming soon

Helpful Hints

In these Lessons I will put effort into letting swimmers do things on their own. I will constantly providing support and very slowly, incrementally over time, removing that support, or making the swimmer do just a tad little more on their own.
