Time to Play! Blowing Bubbles

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.  Here’s how to use sound to help your kids blow bubbles, an important way to help them learn to be aware of and control their breathing when you’re teaching them to swim.

Have your child make his bubble blowing sound like a boat. How about a helicopter? How about a fart? (Kids love fart jokes. What are you gonna do?)

You can also try a more artistic, refined approach. Can your kids hum their favorite songs and blow bubbles at the same time? Can you guess what songs they’re humming? Was that Bohemian Rhapsody?
