Swimming for children!




Swimming is the best way to develop a child physically.

    A very common practice nowadays is the enrollment of children swimming in the first months of life. Every day new school swimming are open offering the practice of this activity for the little ones.
What is certain is that parents enroll their children early on in programs of adaptation to the water waiting for them to learn to swim. However, the benefits of swimming's go far beyond that. The baby, at birth, has no muscular structure capable of doing halt to his feet, that is, can not support its own weight, so that the exercise on land is almost impossible. Swimming becomes therefore the most effective instrument for application in physical education for babies as in water, its limitations are almost non existent.

    We have to remember whether any newborn baby swim. However, if you spend your childhood without having to practice this activity, the infant loses this ability. In the case of babies swimming practice, none of them "forget" how to swim, avoiding the learning time by which all children have to spend at the beginning of adolescence, to relearn how to swim.

    It is also undeniable that swimming is an important social role in the child (living with others) and is actively involved in the psychomotor development and construction of the human body. There is thus an integrative role in the maturation process.

The jumps in swimming!!


Good afternoon!
After a short absence here I am again for a new post :)


Exits to the water in competition.
    There are two ways out of a competition. The first is from out of the water for tests on his belly, crawl and butterfly. The second is from the inside of water for the tests back.
The aim of both is to push the swimmer as soon as possible before starting to swim.

The outputs of breaststroke, crawl and butterfly.
    Used mainly two types of output: the output of the swimmer grabs the board that will jump out and conventional.

The output in the swimmer grabs the board that will jump:

Preparation:
  Body bent. Fingers gripping the edge of the board, next to the feet. The face to look for water.
Departure: The arms and the body bends. The body is unbalanced forward. Hands drop out of support and tilt directly forward as they spread the trunk and legs.
Flight: The body extends into the air. The arms point to the water and the body bends down. 

Entry: The whole body goes into the hole that the hands open. Upon entry of the feet there will be a beating of moth to prevent the body to dip. Thus, the body is directed horizontally forward.
Conventional output.

Preparation: Body bent. Toes along the edge of the platform. Suspended arms pointing to the water. Legs slightly bent. Feet apart without passing width of the hips.
Departure: Upon hearing the starting signal, the head and shoulders vigorously, while the arms to rock forward and upward. The arms continue to circulate behind their action, and below the front legs and eventually stretch to start the flight.
Flight and Entry: The journey of the body in flight and entry into the water are as described in the output to grasp.
