Mark your space
Mark it once. Every card in artistic swimming starts from this space and adds what it needs.
The space
At home, an empty floor 2 m by 2 m. In the pool, shallow water where the child can stand, with an adult in the water or on the edge.
Where it fits: indoor room, club pool.
Kit
A sheet of paper (for paper sculling), music with a clear beat.
Nose clip and goggles only at the pool.
Safety
An adult watches every second and nobody is alone in the water.
No breath-holding games or contests: take a full breath before going under and breathe out under water; watch for many quick, shallow breaths before a figure.
Water depth suited to the child's swimming.
Land shape work short and correct rather than long.
