We had the best fun today pretending we were in a Wes Anderson movie 😂

Our first Sandymount term finished today since the pool reopened after its amazing refurbishment.

To say all our mama and papa bears are happy to be back is an understatement. So many smiles, splashes and warm water cuddles.

Our new Sandymount Swim Cubs term begins this weekend. We can’t wait to welcome all our old and new bear cubs to the pool.

Toddler cub Ella swimming with the support of these “magic floats”✨

Ella progressed from her mama bear holding her up in the water to swimming all by herself. ⭐️

We use these short woggles in class to help bear cubs feel comfortable and confident in the water.

They can practice blowing bubbles and kicking their legs while floating independently.

It’s a great feeling 💛

Teaching surface dives ⭐️

This skill should only be practiced with a water confident Toddler Cub who has learned how to breathe correctly for swimming underwater and is water happy. 💛

Steps to practice the skill:

⭐️ wear goggles so your toddler can see underwater
⭐️ throw sinker toys into the water - make it FUN
⭐️ encourage your toddler to give it a try
⭐️ make sure they’re happy first
⭐️ give a cue so they know when to take a breathe
⭐️ bring them underwater, head first, towards the pool floor to collect the toys
⭐️ assist with floating back up to the surface
⭐️ give lots of praise to positively reinforce the skill

Great job bear cub Isla for nailing this surface dive and thanks mama bear @mochlannbeag for sharing 💛
