Why is the breaststroke kick called the “frog kick”?

Simple: look at how a frog swims.

The legs bend, turn outward, push the water backwards, then snap back together. That same movement is what you see in the breaststroke kick.

So when your coach says, “Give me a frog kick,” they’re not just making up a funny name. There’s actually a reason behind it.

Now you know.

Did you know this before today?

One step at a time. 🏊 What are you waiting for?

Today was Jenni’s first swimming class, and she’s already showing us that she’s ready to learn.

From her very first stroke to the little moments of confidence in the water, every attempt counts. One stroke at a time, one lesson at a time, we’re working towards one big goal: swimming like a pro.

This is just the beginning, Jenni. We can’t wait to see how far you go.

Always read the signs 😊

Have you tried floating and this happened to you?

Back floating is a swimming skill where you lie on your back and allow your body to stay relaxed and supported by the water.

Key points:

* Keep your ears in the water.
* Look straight up at the sky/ceiling.
* Keep your chest and hips high.
* Relax your neck and shoulders.
* Spread your arms and legs slightly for balance.
* Take slow, relaxed breaths.
* Avoid trying to lift your head, as this can make your legs sink.

For beginners, start with assisted back floating, then gradually remove support as confidence improves.

📌Rip Current Safety

Stay away from rip currents.

If you ever find yourself caught in one, don’t swim directly against the current towards shore. Stay calm and swim parallel to the shoreline until you are out of the current, then swim towards shore.

If you cannot escape, float, tread water and signal for help.

Always swim at beaches with lifeguards and pay attention to warning signs and flags.
