Creative games and activities for children's swimming lessons.
Hi, I am Helen Hughes! I live in Worcestershire, UK. I have been teaching swimming for 30 years and I started this channel to provide useful information for parents/carers and swimming teachers about all they need to know for the wonderful world of swimming.
My hopes are that parents, grandparents, swim school teachers, other swimming instructors will find this resource helpful. I aim to bring up to date information about the ins and outs of how to teach a child to swim, what methods to use, the benefits and using the developmental stages to enhance your time in the water.
This is suitable for those with ages from birth until 10 years old. For those that have never had swimming lessons to those that are working on their strokes.
I hope you enjoy my videos and if there is anything you wish for me to cover in my videos then please let me know!
Happy swimming!
Big Hugs,
Helen x

love it! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Glad you found it useful.
Truly awesome video! Thank you so much! I just started working as a swimming instructor and I was so nervous to teach my first Parent and tot class so this channel was a gold mine. Keep up the amazing content!
This is really clever idea! Awesome job Helen 💪
Thank you. I try my best to think of unique ways of bringing excitement to children's lessons.
Great video Helen, especially the tip about finding out more info about the pupil like their impaired vision. I’m wearing contacts with a strong prescription and nobody ever would know unless they asked. Same with kids who occasionally wear glasses 😅
Yes, it is important to find out the *reason* behind certain behaviours of children. They are not necessarily "naughty", they may generally be looking for assistance and reassurance.
Did the flag game last night with my swimmers all age and ability they all loved it and I was surprised how quick they remembered what each one was and the parents thought it was great thank you x
Yay! that is fantastic. So glad it was fun and educational too.
Wish I had this when I was little. For a boy swimming with the arm floats was pretty embarrassing and this would be so much better 😅
Happy St Patrick's day 🧡
Hello,how many do you normally have in a class? How do you explain the games (which sound a little complicated for stage 1 and 2s) in the time available and get them actually swimming? My worry would be I'd spend so long explaining the game they wouldn't have much time to play the game and then do a contrast activity. Very much after hints and tips so the kids get the most out of their lesson 👍
The games are more for the higher stages (older children in general) so should understand the principles behind the rules. I generally put a twist on traditional games played in PE and adapt to the pool, so they probably would have heard of them already. For the lower stages I tend to do more themed activities which are mini games if you like in a lesson.
Happy mother's Day ❤️
Thank you. I hope you had a lovely weekend too xx
Great ❤
Thank you.
