It’s sunny and the bathing season is here in full swing. But only 41 percent of the country’s ten-year-olds can swim 200 meters or more, one shows recent survey.
With “All of Norway Swims” This summer, NRK, together with Redningsselskap and the Norwegian Swimming Association, will focus on safe water enjoyment for all.
To be able to learn to swim, your child must first feel safe in the water. Play can be a great way to stay safe. You can sit on the edge and splash with your legs. Go out to the water’s edge for play and various movements.
Let the child “wash” his face with a little water, and eventually you can gently spray water on each other. Here you can see more exercises.
