In fact, the hardest fear for kids to overcome is immersing their eyes in water. Most kids have no problem blowing bubbles out of their mouths and noses, but when it comes to immersing their eyes in water, almost every kid hesitates a little. Overcoming this is essential to learning to swim, as swimming with your head up can be very tiring. Fortunately, with the help of toys, this is a simple solution.
Sinking toys are the perfect solution for practicing immersing your eyes in water. Start with toys that are easy to grasp, like diving rings. Not only do they have a large gripping surface, but they also stand upright in the water so your child doesn't have to reach out to grab them. These sinking toys require your child to dive farther and longer, allowing them to practice steady, slow exhalations.
Floating toys are equally beneficial for building confidence in the water. Whether your child can swim on their own or not, reaching for a toy that floats on the surface of the water provides essential arm stretching practice. Such as water bouncing balls because it has to be grabbed from overhead with arm out of the water. This is the exact movement kids will need to perform the front crawl when they’re ready.
If your child is water-shy, making swimming fun by incorporating our water neoprene toys can build water confidence and maximize the effectiveness of your swimming lessons.
