Teaching kids to swim to the bottom of the pool

Pencil jumps and beginner dives! One of the favorite skills a swimmer loves to learn is how to get those rings at the bottom of the pool! Starting with a pencil jump or a mini dive from the side of the pool, a mostly straight body position is needed to get to the bottom. These skills need 100% supervision to ensure swimmers are a safe enough distance from the wall of the pool as well as in deep enough water. Have fun!
