WATER EXPLORATION AND PRIMARY SKILLS

IN SWIMMING

Swimming goes way back to prehistoric times. Any form of competitive swimming
wasn’t formed until the 1800s
in Europe. It was included in
the first Olympics in 1896 in
Athens, Greece. Swimming is
much easier to understand than
other sports. The evolution of
swimming history expanded
during the middle ages.
Lifesaving concepts and
techniques began to form
throughout the next few
hundred years and around the
18th and 19th century the sport
began to evolve into more of a
competition than just life
safety.

Schools began to
believe that swimming was a
natural part of any life education. Therefore, they began to teach swimming in schools not just as
a life safety course but as an extracurricular activity for students.

Learning Outcome: At the end of the chapter, the learner will be able to:

1. Knows the value and importance of swimming.

2. Dos and don’ts in swimming
3. Identifies the primary skills
4. Exhibit the value of courage and self-discipline

Dos and don’ts in swimming

1. Warm up well – it doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced swimmer or a total novice, you should
always warm up thoroughly before entering the swimming pool. This will prevent injuries.
2. Shower first- don’t forget to take a shower before entering the swimming pool.
3. Walk, don’t run on the pool deck – trips and falls happen all of the time and can result in a cut,
scrap or a broken bone if you’re not careful.
4. Don’t forget to stay hydrated – staying hydrated will help in reducing heat related emergencies
such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
5. Don’t dive head first into a water source – check the pool deck to see if diving is allowed or ask a
staff member before attempting to dive.
6. Don’t horseplay in the pool-wrestling moves or any sort of horseplay that could cause a drowning
or restrict the air to the lungs can be dangerous.
7. Don’t eat a lot before swimming -having a large meal before entering the swimming pool will
make you feel heavy in water and making your swimming session last shorter than it should.
8. Don’t swim alone – try to have a buddy to go swimming with, as this will make the entire
experience a lot safer.
9. Don’t swim if you have skin disease like ring worm.
10. Don’t spit or blow your nose in the water.

Different types of floating and primary skills in swimming

Knowing how in the water for long periods of time could save your life in an emergency. Although
you often see swimmers floating on their backs, this is just one of many possible positions. Relaxing and
staying motionless help you float more easily, regardless of the position.

Survival float or prone position

This float uses very little energy, making it ideal for situations when you don’t know how long
you’ll need to stay afloat. Lie on your stomach with your face underwater and your arms and legs
dangling. When you need to breathe, bring your head back up and out of the water while pushing down
with your arms and legs. After you take in a breath, hold it and relax completely for a few seconds to drop
back into the water.

Horizontal Back Float or supine position

When performing the horizontal back float, you don’t use much energy, and you stay fairly
comfortable. In the horizontal back float, you lie on your back in the water with your back slightly arched,
your arms out to the sides and your legs straight. Your face won’t go underwater and relaxed your legs it
will float naturally.

Vertical Back Float

In the vertical back float, as in the horizontal back float, your face remains above the water;
however, in the vertical back float, less of your body floats above the water. While your upper chest and
your face stay out of the water, your legs drop down below the surface. 

Treading Water

Although it’s technically not a type of floating, treading water makes it easy to transition between
floating positions. Because your head remains completely above the water’s surface, treading water is
ideal in situations where you need to look at your surroundings. Keeping your arms outstretched, move
them slowly just under the surface of the water while performing scissor kicks to stay afloat.

Gliding

is defined as moving with a continuous motion, it happens before a stroke begins proper gliding
techniques allows a swimmer to maintain momentum while preparing for the next stroke and also offers a
good workout for strengthening the body’s core muscles.

the legs are moved rapidly up and down with slightly bending the knees or An alternating whipping
