Time to Play! Gliding in Streamline Position

Kids learn by playing. The more you can making 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. When you’re teaching your kids to swim, gliding in streamline or torpedo position is one of the skills that’s the most fun for you and for them. It’s usually the kids’ first taste of what it really feels like to swim. The freedom and lightness are intoxicating! It’s fun all by itself, but you can use this game to wring every last giggle from it.

Place clues around the edge of the swimming pool. Point your child to the first clue and have him glide to it. The first clue leads to the next, and so on. The last stop should have a treat: a joke, a medal, or another prize your child will like.
