Swimming can be fun for young learners

Swimming is one of the most popular summer sports in the area as people flock to the beaches and pools to cool off under the hot. summer sun. But, what about the young tykes who don’t know how to swim? Sue Ganshorn is trying to remedy this situation as she teaches preschool and kindergarten age children the art of swimming at the Wawasee High School pool this summer . Mrs. Ganshorn, who has taught swimming the past nine years, has four pre-school and two kindergarten classes. Children in her pre-school classes range from three months old to fouryears old. In her kindergarten classes, children from ages three to six are learning how to swim. In teaching swimming, the first thing she does is get the children used to the feel of water. She says, “The biggest thing is getting their face in the water.” With the pre-schoolers, who are with their parents, she puts them on the side of the pool and lets them wash their and bumpers,” or their faces and arms. The older children learn in a similar way. The next step is putting them in the water and blowing bubbles. With the pre-schoolers, she uses Snoopy, a puppet, to teach the children. “We do it in a game form rather than work form.” In both classes, other skills taught are kicking, floating, jumping off the side and swimming underwater. Mrs. Ganshorn also teaches them to hold their breath and let go of the side and float. This, she feels, gives the children security and confidence in themselves. “It breaks the ice forthat age.” With the pre-school class, she tells the parents to bring a favorite toy so the child can swim

after it. Repetition is used constantly so the child can remember the skills. After a child learns some of the basic skills involved in swimming, Mrs. Ganshorn tries to motivate the by using such pool itenjis as h styrofoam floatie and hula hoop. The floatie is especially useful in getting the child away from his parent. -"We like to get them away from their parents as soon as possible,” she commented, “to give them confidence in themselves.” £ After a time, she allows the child to go off the diving board and dog paddle back to shore. Mrs. Ganshorn said most young children will kick and pull even before one-year-old. Hand and feet coordination usually doesn’t come until about 18 months, she added. Water safety is also emphasized in both classes w-ith the child and parent. The instructor said, "The emphasis is not on learning how to swim. It’s on safety and having fun in the water.” She sets up two special days, one for the parent and one for the child, when she teaches various life saving techniques involved in swimming such as the seat cushion, life saving jump, the survival float and swimming carry. Along with these skills, she teaches artifical respiration on the shore and in the water. The children also learn the safe way of getting in and out of the pool. Two three-week sessions are being taught this summer at Wawasee for one-half hour to one hour daily. Mrs. Ganshorn feels this program is well-liked. “It’s a very successful program. I feel most people appreciate the program.” Other swimming classes are
