18m-2.6m/NON-water adjusted

Main focus under water adjustment with:

• Rain Clouds
• Slide
  
• Jumps from steps to parents/teacher
  
• Jumps from side of pool to parents/teachers
  
• Water balloon chases
  
• Toy chases
  

Parents demonstrate with fun and enthusiasm:

• Intial submersion will be with a 1,2,3, blow in the face and dip.
• If totally beginner on 2nd or 3rd day After babies are used to this and are visibly closing up, no need to blow in
  face, just count 1,2,3
• Getting face wet making “Mmm...” sound WITHOUT bubbles (until the children are water adjusted)
• Mmmmm sound is the babies cue letting them know that
  they are going to get wet/submerge
• It is important to look at baby and see whether they are ready!
• Baby is ready for little balloon/toy chases with “mmmm”
  submersions
• Back floats are practiced with the “lullaby train”
• Back float is extrememly important to practice, if resistance, use short increments. Child must learn later to roll to back for air/rest.
