SwimSafe Manual

1.1: Making splashes P.3

Criteria:
The student can blink a few times and isn’t afraid of the water that’s been poured over the head.

Make splashes
The students sit on the edge of the swimming pool. They make bubbles and splashes with their hands by softly hitting the water or swirling their legs around. If the children are comfortable with the splashes you can try to let them make bigger ones.

Splashes with the hands:

Splashes with the legs:


Bucket splash
Fill a bucket with water and slowly pour the water over their heads. When you pour it over their head you will say: Blink, blink, blink. This is because almost every student doesn’t like water in their eyes. Children will rub their eyes in order to get rid of the water, but that won’t work. That’s why we want to teach them to blink when they have water in their eyes.
