It's Pool Time!

Summer is the perfect time for swimming... its HOTTTTT outside and the pool is a great place to kick back, chill and play around with your family and friends.

There are a lot of different jumps that you can do into a pool. Last summer, at least once a week we had contests to see who could do the best "jump" into the pool. There are SOOO many! You could do a "Belly Flop" or a "Can Opener" or a "Cannonball." A couple of our family favorites are the "Pencil", or the "Tornado." All are fun jumps to do with your family or with friends watching. Have fun this summer!!

	1. The Cannonball: Create the biggest splash by curling into a ball as you jump!

	2. The Belly Flop: This might sting, but it’s entertaining for everyone watching.

	3. The Back Flop: A backwards belly flop. Be sure to jump away from the edge of the pool!

	4. The Pencil: Have a contest to see who can make the smallest splash and use this jump.

	5. The Tsunami: Make big splashes by jumping with your friends!

Remember, be safe around the pool!

Make sure an adult is watching you. Never push anyone under the water, and like mom always says, “Walk, don’t run!”

Swimming can be a blast and a big splash, if you remember to play safely!
