Dive as far as possible

The child pushes off the pool wall and dives as far as possible. The distance they cover underwater is marked with an object. This exercise is repeated multiple times throughout the course to track progress. However, this exercise may not work for every child. Some children lack the motivation for such a challenge and resurface as soon as they feel the slightest need for air. For these children, it can be helpful to set a target distance. The appropriate distance will depend on the child and should provide a challenge. As a guideline, 7 meters is a good starting point. However, children’s diving abilities vary greatly, with ranges from 3 to 25 meters being entirely possible.
