Sing and Swim with Swim a Song™ |

A new product has been launched to help introduce young children and babies to swimming, using songs to help them develop greater confidence in the water.
Swim a Song™ was developed by Total Swimming, which was founded by Olympic swimmer Steve Parry, and Swim Supreme.
It uses instantly recognisable nursery rhymes and songs and, by changing the lyrics, creates a fun programme of movement and actions working with the music.
The programme is already being used at leisure centres across the UK, but the Swim A Song™ Parent Pack is now available for parents to help children at bath time.
Parry said: "The first step on the ladder is water confidence and being comfortable moving, splashing and blowing bubbles. I know this sounds like a lot of fun but there really is a whole host of benefits.
"Swim a Song™ opens the door to enjoying aquatics as early as four months. Who would have thought that we are delivering the starting point for a life skill as early as this?"

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
