Swimming equipment

There are big differences between talented and beginner. A talented children could do swimming without tools or equipment. But those tool are invented to help beginner during swimming lessons.

Those kind of equipment required skills to use it, and its time for parents took part of it, and always made sure you remember and master it before use it to your children. Below are some tools or equipment you could use along with its safe instruction:

Stand facing your child in waist-deep water, with a barbell between you. Ask your child to hold the barbell with both hands and straight arms. Tell him to take a breath, then gently place his face in the water.Walk backward as your child swims the barbell toward you. Tap the crown of his head and take a deep breath to encourage him to mimic you and breathe in, then tell him, “put your eyes in and splash with your feet.” At the start, you may need to tow the barbell or add fins for greater propulsion, and to assist with the head lift.

Stand in waist- to chest-deep water opposite your partner, 10–12 feet (3–3.6 m) apart.Your partner should have a puppet. Tell your child,“When the puppet is up, you are up; when it is down, you are down.”With your child in the Pass Hold cue him to go underwater and, as your partner places the puppet underwater, swim your child to your partner. Follow your child—after a few seconds your partner should raise the puppet out of the water and your child should lift his head. Repeat until your child reaches your partner.

Make a bridge by holding two noodles on top of the water, so they are 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 m) apart. (Or make a hoop tunnel with two hoops partially submerged held 5–6 feet/1.5–1.8 m apart.) Instruct your child to swim under the first bridge, come up to take a breath in the middle, then go under the second bridge. Initially, your partner may need to help him to come up by using the different leverage supports.
