Do General corrections after entire group attempts item, then give Specific corrections for each swimmer. Follow with Try it again and apply corrections. Follow the Leader Purpose: Review shallow-water skills Description: 1. Swimmers follow you through the shallow end and repeat your actions as you perform a series of activities (e.g., log rolls, somersaults, lying on bottom). Exaggerated Shoulder Roll Drill Description: 1. Swimmers perform a back glide with a kick, holding both arms at the sides and emphasizing rolling one shoulder out. 2. The glide can then be repeated, emphasizing the other shoulder and practising rolling from shoulder to shoulder. Jumping Sponge Bobs Purpose: Development of physical strength Description: 1. Swimmers line up against the wall in the shallow end. 2. On the word “Go,” they do jumping bobs (going as low as they can in the water and jumping as high as they can, pretending to catch flies with their mouth) across the pool. 3. Swimmers return to the original side, then repeat the activity. Streamliner Description: 1. Stack up 3 kickboards on the pool deck for each swimmer to lie on. 2. Swimmers lie face down in a streamlined position with their midsections on the kickboards. They hold the position for 10 seconds while tightening their muscles. This promotes a good, streamlined front glide position and a straight body for a front crawl. Signal Kick Description: 1. Swimmers kick with a kickboard at a slow to moderate pace and then kick as fast as they can when you signal. 2. Swimmers continue kicking hard until you signal again, and then they return to slow to moderate kicking. 3. You can choose any kick for this drill and any duration between signals. 4. Swimmers kick continuously throughout the drill until you choose to end it. Copyright © 2010 The Canadian Red Cross Society
