Safe Exit – swimming activities

Getting out of the water in a controlled, safe way.

Activities

• Backwards Down the Steps – Teaches swimmers to use the pool steps facing the rail – the safest way in for nervous beginners.
• Elbow, Elbow, Knee, Knee – A step-by-step routine for getting out over the pool edge safely.
• Obstacle Course – A course that links several skills in a row – enter, travel, go through a hoop, collect a sinker, float and exit.
• Pool Edge Circuit – A mini circuit of getting out, walking safely and getting back in, repeated so safe exits and entries become automatic.
