What are some cool games and things to make swim lessons more fun?
At the end of each practice, if they are good, save 10-15 minutes to play games. Relays are a good idea. Make up some different ones like doggy paddle and they have to bark, side stroke, corkscrew, running in the water… Make an obstacle course around the pool. Water Polo, Sharks and minnows, Marco Polo, Mother (“Coach”) May I? As part of our workout we would do an Indian swim I think it was called. You have the people in your lane start swimming right after each other really close and slow, then the person in the back has to swim fast and catch up to the front of the line. Then on the way back down the lane, the new person in the back has to catch up to the front of the line. This continues until the person who originally started in the front gets back up there. Only one person goes from the back to front per lap. (If this was confusing you can email me and I can try better) Hope you like my ideas and have fun at practice!
