Jump Entry – swimming activities

Jumping into the water safely and resurfacing in control.

Activities

• Deep Water Jump and Tread – Jump into deep water, surface, tread for a count, then swim back to the side – entries and survival combined.
• Entry Menu – Swimmers choose the right entry for the depth – step, slide, jump, crouch fall – and explain their choice.
• Jump and Turn – Swimmers jump in, turn straight back to face the wall and swim to it – the essential safety habit after any entry.
• Jump, Float, Signal – A full water safety sequence: jump in, float on the back to calm down, signal for help, then swim to the side.
• Shape Jumps – Swimmers jump in making different shapes – pencil, star and tuck – learning body control in the air and on landing.
