Hi there, my name's May and I'm a certified swimming instructor with AquaMobile.
Today, we'll be learning some of the basic skills that you need to teach your child in
order to build up a foundation for swimming.
If you're using this video to teach your child how to swim, remember to always follow along
and stay in the water with them to keep an eye on them.
We're going to do a little song called little Ollie Otter, ok?
So I just want you to follow along with the action, so.
Little ollie otter, swimming through the water, scooping up the star fish and boopin' em on
the head.
Down came the fairy gold fish and she said, little ollie otter I don't want to see you,
scoopin' up the star fish and boopin' em on the head.
Little ollie otter, I'm gunna give you one more try before I turn you into a bubble monster!
Can everybody show me bubbles?
Awesome.
And again.
Little ollie otter, swimming through the water, scoopin' up the star fish and boopin' em on
the head.
Down came the fairy gold fish and she said, little ollie otter, I don't want to see you
scooping up the star fish and boopin' em on the head.
Little ollie otter, I'm gonna give you no more tries, I'm gunna turn you into a bubble
monster!
Everybody big bubbles!
That's really awesome!
Great job!
Alright.
The next song, that we're going to do is the wheels on the bus, the wheels on the bus have
a lot of actions that have splashing and a lot of fun things so we get our faces wet
and get nice and comfortable in the water.
Alright, so, let's get started.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town.
The wipers the bus go swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish,
the wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, all through the town.
The doors on the bus go open and shut, open and shut, open and shut, the doors on the
bus go open and shut, all through the town!
Alright and the kids on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down, the kids on
the bus go up and down all through the town.
Very good, high five.
That was great, awesome.
So, next thing we're going to to do is something called the bob story.
When you do the bob story, we practice our full body submersion under the water, so a
bob actually looks like this ok, so, so, like this?
Yeah?
That's a perfect bob!
That's awesome, so that's exactly what a bob looks like so together we're going to do the
bob story ok so we're going to come right over here and do bobs together with Kira ok?
Everytime I say the name bob you guys have to go underwater and do a bob ok?
That's perfect.
So, once upon a time there was a guy named bob, that's great,
and he really wanted to go tobobbaning.
Awesome!
So, he went to find his best friend bobette
and they went to bob mountain and they went tobobbaning!
That was really good!
High five!
Keep practicing these skills with the kids and when they're comfortable with them, you
can move onto lesson two in our child learn to swim series.
