Higher jumps and first dives
Ready when: First dives from the edge (b3) done.
What the coach teaches
A small run-up, jumps with the arm swing, jumps and falls from 1 m and then 3 m, first forward and back dives from the poolside, and simple feedback between divers: one thing good, one thing to improve.
At home, safe only
Jumping and landing games on the ground (Dry-land diver (b4)); shoulder mobility.
Ask the club
How fear of the 3 m board is managed.
What you can see from the side
A calm approach and a steady take-off.
Self-check what the coach confirms
The coach passes the jumps from 1 m and 3 m.
Stop and get a coach when
The child is afraid and shaking at the board.
