Games to Play in the Pool

After a few months, or a season of not swimming, our kids swimming skills can regress. 

As Swim Coaches we see this all the time

Pool Games

We know having your child be a strong swimmer can greatly reduce the risk of childhood drowning, and we want to make sure their skills continue to grow. Even if they have regressed a little bit. 

3 fun pool games to play with your kids

There are three main types of games you can play with your kids:

1) Retrieval Games

2) Underwater Games

3) Jumping Games

As seen in the video above: Swim Tag is an example of a Retrieval Game, where your swimmer is practicing their paddle swim, kicking their feet, and feeling their own natural buoyancy. 

The best part is with Swim Tag is that both of you are having a lot of fun.

Having Fun is your number 1 goal

The next time you go to the pool, remember your number 1 goal is to have fun. 

The best part is you can, as a parent help make up for lost swimming time and start to grow your child's swimming confidence and ability again, by playing a few games and having fun.
