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 a great way to practice teaching the front crawl in a fun way.
Have your kids race. This isn’t just any race, though. Race with imagination! What’s the rush? Where’s the fire? (Probably not in the swimming pool.) Imagine you’re Paul Revere riding to alert colonists that the British are coming. Imagine you’re Cinderella racing to get home from the ball before she turns into a pumpkin. (Do I have the details of that story right?) Imagine you’ve got to get to home base before being thrown out.
