Brilliant fun! May 2, 2008

6 months ago, I was scared of even going to the swimming baths. I had a real fear of pools, but was forced to go to lessons after a bet with my mum (New Years resolutions!). It had been 8 years since my last swimming lesson. Now, I actually feel more comfortable under the water than the world on top of it - and that was just 6 lessons in!
We used various aids in our classes to boost our confidence. One of them were these Zoggs Sinkers (as I prefer to call them), that come in packs of four. Soon enough, after plucking up the courage to go under water, I now can't wait to go back to the pool and swim around trying to pick up these sticks! They are much better than bricks in that when thrown in the water, they sink Vertically, meaning you can get a handle grip of them.
The are a nice size, brightly coloured, and very well made. What we've started doing at the end of our lessons is getting more adventurous and throwing them towards the deep end, on the other side of a lane. This encourages us to swim a little further down, and navigate across the lane above us.
I now have no fear in going to the deep end, just dropping down, and seeing how many I can get. Though for confidence building, it would be better to stay in shallower waters, as the pressure on your lungs 2 metres down will shorten your depth.
Even away from building your confidence up they act as a great game to see who can pick up the most! I can't recommend them highly enough. I'd definitely buy these Zoggs rather than cheap copies because of the quality. Though as I've found, this time of year when are the baths quiet? Grrrrrr....

My kids love these. I got the set after watching them being used during one of their swimming lessons. They are weighted at one end which means they stand upright on the bottom of the pool. They are easy to grab and easy to spot in their bright colours.
We started very shallow and gradually got deeper. At first they just had reach down while keeping their heads out of the water. They helped encourage my children to put their faces in the water too look through their goggles to find them. This lead to them now being able to duck down completly to retrive them.
Loads of great game ideas but I just love the confidence boost it gave to my two. It was fun why to push their boundries. Well worth it.

I bought these last year having seen a few kids playing with them at my club. Essentially, they are weighted rubber sticks that stand on their own feet in water. Nice and bright and well made, they are really good fun when swimming. Throw them in the pool for your child(ren) and they sink slowly and vertically to the bottom for your child to retrieve. As they stand upright on the bottom of the pool they are pretty easy to grip and all four fit into small hands ok. They come in their own plastic case to keep them tidy in your bag too.
The simple ideas are often the best and these are a great way to boost your kid's water confidence and fitness while having fun.

Bought these as my son saw someone in the pool with them and thought they'd be great. He's 4 and can't wait to go swimming each week so he can go diving. Well made and comes with a handy carry case that you can take to the poolside with you.
