Learn to Swim games - Car Wash

Car Wash helps children become accustomed to having water on their face and travelling through the water.

How to play Car Wash

In this simple activity, the child moves through the water with an adult, as the teacher sprinkles water over them.

This can be also progressed to the children blowing bubbles and eventually being confident in submerging the face.
