Kids learn by playing. The more you can make learning to swim fun for your kids, the more they’ll like it, the quicker they’ll learn, and the more fun you’ll have teaching them.
A critical aspect of learning to swim is getting a feel for the water and how it interacts with your body. You can make a game out of focusing on the sensory experience of moving in water. Here’s how.
How does the water feel? Does it feel…prickly? No! Slippery? Bubbly? Sparkly? Bumpy? Smooth? Silky? Soft? Rough? Sloshy? Rubbery?
The more silly, ridiculous words you can think of to describe how the water does or doesn’t feel, the better.
Did you and your kids think of any really good ones?
