Diving Sticks 

 

These sticks are 24cm long, they sink quickly to the floor of the pool where they will stand upright. The sticks are a little more difficult to retrieve from the floor as they need to be grasped by the swimmer.   They are also an ideal teaching aid for swimming instructors.

Hang Hoop 

 

DROP HOOP - The Drop Hoop stands upright on the floor of the pool providing the water is deeper than the hoop.  It is a wonderful toy which encourages the swimmer to dive right down in order to pass through it. The hoop measure 75cm in diameter.  A great teaching aid as young swimmers can be encouraged to swim through the hoop instead of through ones legs ie. ideal for teaching children how to 'duck' dive.

HANG HOOP - The Hang hoop hangs vertically just below the waters surface.  It is great for youngsters learning to streamline as well as for diving.

AQUA Kids - Super Hoop

Super Hoop 

 

The Super Hoop is a very versatile hoop. It can hang in various positions depending on where the floats are positioned.  If the floats are both at the top next to the white seal the hoop will hang vertically just below the surface.  As you move the floats down the sides the hoop will move rise out higher of the water until it is halfway out of the water.  Once the floats go past this point the hoop will lie horizontally on the surface.  This hoop is a brilliant teaching tool for all ages. 

Teaching tip: Set the hoop to stick halfway out the water and get the swimmers to try to dive through the hoop without touching the hoop.  This helps the children to perfect their racing dives, they dive across the water instead of down to the floor.  It also great for encouraging little swimmers to streamline through.

The Turbo board is manufactured out of an extremely  durable high density closed-cell foam.  These boards are extremely supportive in the water and do not bend easily under pressure.  The superior quality of this foam is such that these boards do not scuff or damage easily under normal circumstances.  The Turbo board is an ideal board for all ages and levels however it is highly recommended for children from the age of +-18months as they can hug into the board and feel  more secure.  As the young swimmers progress they can slowly stretch out their arms across the board and get their head comfortably into the water, whilst still having the security of the board "around" them.

Dimension:  3cm thick, 42cm long and 40cm at its widest.

The Kiddi-pack is an ideal pack for children learning to swim.  They are able to reinforce what they are learning at lessons in their home pools. The choice of board should be determined by which board their instructors utilises. The Turbo board is a wonderful board for all ages and levels, however it is perfect for nervous children from 18mths-2years old as the shape lends itself not only to comfort and security ( the swimmer can hug their chest into the board) but also allows the swimmer to get their heads in the water to blow bubbles whilst maintaining a streamlined position.  This set makes a wonderful gift.
