Entering the pool

Importance of Safe Entry and Gradual Progression:

Prevents accidents: Entering slowly reduces the risk of slipping, hitting the bottom, or startling others in the pool.

Promotes awareness: It encourages swimmers to observe depth markings, water conditions, and other swimmers.

Builds water confidence: Gradual exposure helps swimmers feel in control and calm, essential for learning new techniques like diving.

Strengthens fundamentals: Mastery of basic entries lays the foundation for more complex skills in swimming and water sports.
