• Bubbling technique


  1. Helps swimmers breathe properly

  2. Inhale through mouth when face is above water, exhale through mouth or nose when face is underwater

  3. Exhaling bubbles helps avoid tension and focus on performance
• How to blow bubbles underwater


  1. Place entire face underwater

  2. Blow bubbles through mouth (submerged)

  3. Blow bubbles through nose (submerged)

  4. Complete 5 consecutive bobs

  5. Inhale, submerge fully, blow bubbles through mouth or nose, come back up, inhale, submerge, try to blow bubbles out of your nose for a and repeat
• Floating technique


  1. First step in learning how to swim freestyle

  2. Believe that you can float
• How to Float in Water


  1. Back float: Tilt chin back, hips and stomach up, spread arms and legs, loosen up tense muscles

  2. Front float: Lean forward, arms and legs apart, face in water, blow bubbles
• Gliding in swimming


  1. Happens before a stroke begins, between strokes, after a flip turn or at the end of a lap

  2. Proper technique maintains momentum while preparing for the next stroke
• How to Glide

  Stand with back at pool wall, arms extended in streamlined position, place one foot on wall behind you, lower body forward into water, push off the wall, legs together with toes pointed, arms extended forward, chin tilted downwards throughout front glide
• Flutter kick in swimming


  1. Simple and efficient kick used in front crawl/freestyle stroke and backstroke

  2. Both legs kept parallel, fairly straight, quickly flutter up and down with toes pointed
• How to Flutter Kick


  Sit on edge and kick from hips with pointed toes, start with small kicks making little splashes, hold onto wall and kick without sinking, kick with instructor or aid (Kick board or Flutter board)
• How to Flutter Kick and Glide in Water

  1. Front kicking: Extend arms forward, extend legs, toes pointed, kick from the hip, place face fully in the water

  2. Back kicking: Small, fast strong kicks, toes at the surface, don't bend knees, kick from the hip

• Swim Caps (a.k.a, cap)


  Keeps the swimmer's hair out of the way to reduce drag. Caps may be made of latex, silicone, spandex or lycra
• Goggles

• Swim Fins


  Rubber fins are used to help kick faster. They also improve technique by keeping the feet in the proper position while kicking
• Drag Suit


  Swimmers use drag suits to make weight to pull them back, to increase resistance

• Kickboard

  Kickboard foam board that swimmers use to support the weight of the upper body while they focus on kicking: helps build leg muscles
• Pool Noodle
