Learning to hold your breath and swim under water, children gain confidence, their movements cease to be frenzied attempts to do this was not to remain on the surface they rest and swim.
First question: how often do you plan to go in the pool? The optimal frequency of 2 times a week or more. With the child should engage in the adult, whom he trusts more. Usually the mother is more suitable, men are often too keen on purpose and they don't have the patience to give the child to calm down and believe in your abilities, but if your dad is calm, balanced person he can cope!. And it is very important not to force things, and you can scare the baby!
The stages of learning
1. First you need to get up to the depth where the baby on the breast (standard depth for practice) to remove the sleeves and ask the child to squat in the water, holding my breath. First, that the water covered his lips, then nose, then dive head and immediately emerge.
This exercise is worth doing as long as the child does not realize that he is in control of the dive in time and correctly holds their breath, emerges on his own and is not frightened of lack of air (let the child does not shut his eyes and plug your nose when submerged, if he is afraid of getting water in my eyes, it makes sense to offer points.
2. When the dive will be developed so that the child will no longer be afraid of this (usually one class), ask the child to pull his hands when he ducked and quickly drag him under water in hand at least two feet, gradually increasing to a distance of your outstretched hands. By the end of the race force it to the surface, indicating the need for breath. Usually children this exercise very much. Think of it some games preamble: submarine, sea-cat...
3. When a child feels confident that he always has the opportunity to emerge, will complicate the exercise # 2 the fact that you drive a child's hands, and he dives and comes up for air for inhalation and expiration, and it completely removes the legs from the bottom and floats without putting feet on the bottom at the moment of inhalation and exhalation. Start with 2-3 podnyrivali Postings (breath-breath-diver-posting-surfacing (1) - breath-delay-diver-posting-surfacing (2) - and so on), bringing up to 5-6. This is a very time consuming exercise for a child (give him a break, don't force it) and the most basic skill (usually on mastering it takes 2-3 classes).
4. When the child will no longer look out of breath when doing exercise 3, i.e. easily and in time will learn to come out, explain to him how sunaryati yourself. To do this he must fold his hands cupped, to put them ahead and dive followed by hands (ask him to look under water on hand). Now the child self-control of his dive and surfacing without insurance adult hands.
When this is mastered (usually this happens almost immediately), stand up from a child at a distance of half a meter and ask the child to dive, to see your body under the water and under the water to go (sometimes it works immediately to swim to you and to surface. Explain to him how to push the legs from the bottom to increase the speed (it also stimulates him to tear off his feet and go, and not go under water). Gradually increase the distance that was enough for one breath. Invent a game in which the child will thus come to different people and objects in the water.
5. This exercise is key independent sailing. Stand up from the side of the pool or put another adult at a distance of one and a half to two meters. Explain to your child that he can reach the desired goal (the side of the pool or another adult) having come up for breath as many times as you need. Show him how to paddle hands under the water, pulling them forward and spreading them apart.
First, many children trying to get to the bottom during inhalation. So pretty soon remind the child that he knows how to push your feet when diving, and ask him to lower legs, at first walking beside the child and slightly insuring his hand under the abdomen during inspiration. Mastering this step takes 2-4 classes.
6. After mastering the exercises 5, when your insurance during inhalation will be symbolic, reassure the child that now he can swim under the water (metaphor - swim like a Dolphin). Ask him to swim to different objects, which are clearly visible in the water, and then let's complicate the task, so that he not only reached but and returned to you.
Gradually move your classes to a depth where the child lacks the legs to the bottom.
7. Actually mastered exercise 6, we can assume that you taught him to swim further training (swimming above the water) can be left to the discretion of the child (usually the children some time for yourself very easily understand how to swim is not ducking). If there is a desire to control the learning process of surface swimming, then you just need to show your child that you can not dive immediately after inhalation and continue to swim, holding his head above water. Here we must pay attention to the fact that the child did not stretch out his neck (we remind him that as soon as he tired to swim above the water, he can dive).
The rest of the training relates to the style of swimming: show the child how to work his feet, until smooth and synchronous movement of the hands and feet.
