Wet Games provides teachers with a collection of games and activities that bring to participants of all ages and at all levels the chance to acquire and perfect swimming skills and to develop techniques of rescue and survival. The range is from simple games in ankle-deep water to advanced procedures that simulate difficulties any swimmer may face from time to time, and the importance of the safety factor is emphasized throughout: water must be respected, no matter at what depth or in what location. The authors believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable, and that even the most advanced scientific principles can be taught by playing games. They have tested all procedures extensively in national and international swimming programs and with both children and adults; requirements, levels, organization and description of each procedure are clearly set out and illustrated, and the text is practical and easy to follow. Children and adults love playing in water. Wet Games not only adds to the enjoyment: in so doing it teaches a range of invaluable water-safety skills. Spiral bound with plasticised water-proof pages.
