Practice Swimming Skills At Home

Movement-Control Order? Don’t worry! You can still practice swimming skills at home with your kiddo right in the comfort of your home.

What do you need?

  1. Your Body
  2. Gravity
  3. A couch/ Bed/ Floor/ Chair
  4. Bathtub/ Sink/ Containers that can hold water
  5. Motivation to get up and PRACTICE
  6. Creativity!

Out of the pool doesn’t mean completely out of swim! You can still practice swimming skills at home, have fun, quality family time with your lil ones. Here are some ideas of what you can do.

In the Bathtub/ Sink/ Any Container that can hold water

What can you do?

  • Bubbling/ Breathing Control: Gently submerge your face in the water, blow bubbles OUT through NOSE, INHALE above water through MOUTH. Counting together with your lil ones makes it fun. You can practice holding your breath anywhere, the living room, the bathtub, the car! It is an essential life-skill to keep yourselves afloat in the water with proper breathing techniques.   *FUN FACT: The Lungs are natural buoys in human bodies. When filled with air, they will help raise the body to the surface of the water.

Don’t have a bathtub at home? Don’t worry, a DIY aquarium will do the job!

  • Kicking: Practice with legs stretched-out front, remember, pointy-toes, straight legs while kicking in reps. This will help your lil ones learn how to move through the resistance when they are in the water.

Splash away at home! Don’t forget the key tips to a good flutter kick

  • Pour-Over: If your lil ones have trouble submerging their heads in the water, this is a fun activity to help them to familiarize themselves with the feeling of having their face and ears covered in the water. All you need is a small bucket/ watering can/ sponge/ loofah, anything that you have laying around at home, dip in in water, pour it over their head and body. A sing-along session is bound to happen!
  • Floating: The confined environment in the bathtub might be deemed less frightening for some kids. Practicing back float in the bathtub would help them overcome their fear. Start with your child’s head lying back on your shoulder (as if they are lying on a pillow). Use your hands to support their back, holding their tummy-up to the surface. Have your kiddo submerge their ears in the water, laying flat on the surface of the water.  Gradually progress to independent floating without any support.

    Back float in the tub! (With adult supervision, of course!)

  • Play “I Spy”:  Have fun playing “I Spy” in the bathtub. Just throw some of your kid’s favourite toys and underwater toys in the tub, Say ‘I spy with my little eye something… (eg. blue, beginning with the letter…)” . This is when they can have fun while applying their breathing control skills.

On the Couch/ Bed/ Chair

What can you do?

    • Safe Water Entry & Exit: Getting into and out of the water safely is a really important skill to master. Practice at the edge of a couch/ bed/ chair as a reminder to your child to always enter and exit the pool in a safe manner.Before all else, practicing how to get in and out of the water SAFELY should come first before learning swimming skills

Kick, kick, kick away!

Arm Positions & Movements

What can you do?

  • Arm Rotation: Practice arm rotation while standing, kneeling, or lying on a flat surface. Encourage your child to fully complete each arm rotation as if they were actually swimming. Coordinate with breathing by rotating the head to the side as they begin to catch and pull, and even kicking when they are ready.  Click here to watch how you can practice windmill arm-movement with your child at home.
  • Catch and Scull: Create waves in the water, a great sensory exercise for your child to feel the momentum and waves created with their hands in the water.

Ever played a game called the “Wave machine”? Practice good arm catch underwater while having fun!

Is It Still Safe To Go Swimming With The Novel Coronavirus Outbreak?

You’d think swimming might be a bad idea during this 2019-nCoV virus  Outbreak, but Dr. Elliott, Doctor & Co-founder of Rxemedium.io (Telemedicine) reassures us that swimming it’s actually one of the safer activities to participate in.

What should we know about the 2019-nCoV virus?

Coronaviruses spread by droplets, they would be completely washed off by the sheer amount of water in the swimming pool. The water will negate the effects of the virus, so there’s no harm.

Can the virus be spread through water such as swimming pools?

Medical expert Asst ProfAnderson from Duke-NUS Medical School reassures us that it is unlikely that the coronavirus can be spread through water, especially chlorinated swimming pools. The chlorine from the pool does kill most of the bacteria, and the virus would not be transmitted via the pool water. 

As your trusted swim school, we have taken several precautionary and preventative measures based on the guideline issued by the Ministry of Health Malaysia as follows:

  1. Self-Quarantine: For students/ patrons who have been in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), or came into close contact with someone who did, on or after 1 February 2020 or in Hubei Province (China) at any time are advised to self-isolate for 14 days after landing in Malaysia (other than when seeking medical care). 
  2. Monitor Your Health: For students/ families/ patron who feels unwell and develops shortness of breath, cough or respiratory illness are advised to seek medical attention. You are advised to avoid sending your child(ren) or yourself to the pool until a medical clearance from a doctor is received.
  3. Sanitization and Disinfection of Pool Equipment: We are working closely with the pool management team to optimize the pool disinfection and chlorine level, as well as sanitizing all swim equipment, toys, and facilities on a frequent basis to eliminate any possibilities of bacteria or virus infestation.
  4. Coaches on Duty: There might be replacement coach(es) assigned to you/ your child(ren)’s current swim class if the coaches present any of the above-mentioned symptoms. The coaches would be advised to take medical leave until permitted with professional medical advice in order to avoid coming in contact with any students to keep the situation under control.

As we have advised our students and coaches to take precautionary and preventative measures during this season of viral outbreak, we would arrange replacement classes for those who are feeling unwell to attend until the symptoms have cleared.

We would like to thank all parents who have trusted us with your children during this period of time. We will keep monitoring the situation whilst strengthening our routine hygiene care to ensure all our students will have a splashing good time with us in the water!

Don’t miss out on all the fun you can still enjoy in the pool even with the Coronavirus Outbreak
