Learn to Swim games - Sculling Train

Sculling is an important skill for all swimmers to develop during the Learn to Swim stages.

How to play Sculling Train

The Sculling Train sees children link with one another and focus on solely using their hands to move through the water and keep their face afloat.

This helps to improve buoyancy and is a crucial element to ensuring water safety, as this skill is also required to tread water effectively.
