Jump jack diving

The child starts at the edge of the pool with ten jumping jacks, then jumps headfirst into the water and tries to dive as far as possible. Diving rings can be collected as motivation. The underwater turn interrupts the diving rhythm and pushing off from the edge of the pool requires strength. Both components increase the diver's heart rate. A higher pulse rate leads to increased oxygen consumption in the body and increases the desire to breathe. Such exercises help to train diving with an increased heart rate.
