Introduction Total time: 15 Lesson Objective(s): Get into water using lift Work on traveling alongside the pool Sit on the side of the pool and work on kicks and arm motions, both front and back crawl Aligns with 1, 2, and 5 Planned Transitions: Jump off the side of the pool in between

Formations / Cues Fingers and toes together Big splashes! See if you can touch your toes to the bottom (submerging from lift)

Assessment Assessment needs to be based on how far Leah simulates the freestyle and backstroke for. Repetition is key for Leah to be successful. I will work on the arms and legs with her out of the water and then bring her into the water and see the results of her comprehension. Also, she needs to be more comfortable on her back. That will be a target.

Main Activities Total time: 25

Leahs simulation and participation still apply for this assessment. Need to keep her engaged and active at all times. Spending too much time on the same activities will result in Leah getting bored and squirmy.
