I CAN control exhale while submerged.
I KNOW that sound spreads underwater so that I can hear my friend's voice and that when I exhale air under the water, the water does not come into my mouth.
I FEEL that the appropriate exhalation force will remove water from my mouth. Ok with some water in my mouth
Basic and advanced instruction: Giving the correct number said underwater.
Lower level instruction: Shouting and submersion while screaming continuously without closing the mouth, with open eyes, no coughing.
Shallow water, swimming pool, clear and calm open water.
No additional equipment is needed (Some weight can be used to make the submerged more easily).
Basic and advanced instruction: The task is performed in pairs
Lower level instruction: The task is performed by the whole group simultaneously.
Instructor outside the pool.
Safety guaranteed by lifeguard.
Minimum of 3 attempts for each child.
Basis Aquatic Skills: full immersion, holding breath underwater, exhaling underwater.
Basic instruction: Children stay close to each other in the water. At the instructor's signal, they simultaneously dive underwater and one of the co-exercisers says a number of their choice from 10 to 100 underwater. The other's task is to stay underwater and try to hear and recognize the number. The children come to the surface and the listener says the number he or she has heard. So children can check the performance of the exercise. The task is repeated by each participant three times.
Advanced instruction: the children's task is to identify a fragment of a song together, e.g. a short verse, and then try to sing it underwater.
