Welcome to Swim a Song
'Swim a Song' is an alternative, fun, innovative and effective programme for introducing adults with babies or very young children to the exciting world of Aquatics.
'Swim a Song' provides an effective teaching aid for adults to use with their own children from birth and for swimming teachers, group leaders and programme operators to adapt to a formal commercial programme or Swim School.
'Swim a Song' fills the gap in teaching provision for children aged from 4 months attending with an adult. Lesson plans conveniently encourage successful completion and attainment of the Amateur Swimming Association 'Duckling' series of awards.
The user is guided through a modern method of teaching 'Adult & Child Water Activities' in a fun learning environment. The music is provided on compact disk, the illustrations show suitable actions making an exciting and enjoyable experience for all. The actions are performed to familiar tunes that children enjoy and remain motivated by. The instructions use simple words with repetition for easy understanding and enjoyment and state the correct handling and support positioning.

- Stage 1 - Introducing Young Children to Water
- Stage 2 - Confidence & Independence
- Stage 3 - Developing Movement & Water Skills
Each stage concentrates on a theme incorporating movement through song and rhyme, with actions relating to various water skills, allowing the child to complete a task successfully through play. 'Swim a Song' includes a series of 'Top Tips for 'Tiny Tots'.
