Swim Mirror

Excellent for seeing body line and hand travel.

Use in Swim Lessons:

• Excellent for encouraging looking down
• Perfect for front glides
  • Especially body straight
• Stack them up and go longer distances
  • See front crawl arms
  • Watch hand travel underwater
• Excellent to focus on Long reaches, full arm extension

Participants get immediate personalized feedback and can SEE what they’re doing.

Instructions:

• Keep eyes down to look at image
• Keep body straight
• Remember to kick
• Reach all the way up with hands
• Follow the hand’s path

Considerations:

• Heavy to lift off the bottom
  • May need a person to get in the water to retrieve it
• Possible cuts or sharp edges
  • These are rounded on the corners and have not had any issues, but might wear down into a sharp edge.
• Limited to short small areas of the pool unless you buy enough to cover more area.
• Might get distracted by reflections instead of focusing on task.
