Task

Practice your swimming skills while sitting on a chair. Kick your legs! Move your arms around - don't forget to make your hands cups! Hold your breathe!

Put together a bag for pool supplies! What do you need for a visit to the pool? Did you remember a towel and sunscreen? What toys could be fun in the pool? What will you wear and what safety tools with you use?

Draw a picture of you swimming! Circle the parts that you find scary then talk with a caregiver about your fears.
