In response to parent feedback, beginning June 1, swimmers sporting their Gold Medal Swim School t-shirts will receive a cool sticker at the retail counter. This will replace the "nibble" cookies currently offered.
We are proud of each little swimmer and their hard work. We hope they will feel this is a cool and fun post lesson treat. Cookies will still be for sale for $.50.

Hey Mom, "let's dive for rings"
|
|
Diving for rings is a great way to encourage underwater comfort. This skill is vital for lifelong and competitive swimmers. Mix this simple game up as a way to increase underwater comfort.
1. Toss the ring and ask your swimmer to chase the ring BUT blow out all bubbles prior to touching the ring- this helps the child experience underwater without a "lung full of air".
2. Building on step one: except this time the swimmer should attempt to summersault before or after touching the ring. This encourages the swimmer to blow bubbles out of their nose to prevent water from going up there noses- the skill is a building block for flip turns and underwater kicking.
3. Have your swimmer close there eyes and throw 2-3 rings in various spots around the pool....without looking, have them go underwater and "problem solve" and "think" where are the rings? Keep in mind this is all done without breathing and underwater.
These simple games will increase your child's ability to master the Gold Medal Swim School's core fundamental value, "above and underwater relaxation". The swimmer' only think GAME TIME" :-0
Enjoy your pool and always watch your kid around water.
