poolfun

It is not all training, as much of the time is spent developing skills and having fun at the same time, by playing in-water games etc. Without noticing, your ability and confidence in the water will improve as well as your overall fitness and at the same time, you will also make many new friends.

Leapfrog is just one of many games

This may be a single or two-team game. Place two suitable light weights on the bottom of the pool about one metre apart. Performing surface dives, each member of the team dives and moves the rear weight in front of the leading weight thus leapfrogging it.

In this fashion the two objects move from one end of the pool to the other and back either, as a race or simply as an exercise. This is a very effective skill for improving surface-dive technique, working up to deeper dives or just improving pre dive-season fitness.
