2.\u00a0Spatial Concepts:\u00a0<\/strong>Spatial concepts describe where your child is in relation to objects (think “under\/on\/in front”). Your child will be exposed to a variety of spatial concepts throughout the swim lesson. She will be asked to lie back,\u00a0<\/strong>climb\u00a0out <\/strong>and crawl\u00a0across. <\/strong>Spatial concept vocabulary will be modeled and demonstrated and you will help your child move her body according to the spatial concept that is used. When she is asked to “climb out,” you will help move her body out of the pool. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Simple Directions:<\/strong>\u00a0Your child will be following simple directions involving a combination of actions and spatial concepts throughout the swim lesson. You can repeat the direction and then\u00a0help your child follow through with the directions that are given. For example, she will be asked to “put in,” “sit down” and “jump in.” Providing directions helps your child understand what is expected of her and help build her receptive language abilities.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0Body Parts:\u00a0<\/strong>Body parts are labeled throughout the swim lesson. Kick\u00a0feet,\u00a0<\/strong>close\u00a0mouth<\/strong> and pull with\u00a0hands<\/strong> are a few ways body parts will be labeled. Understanding body parts is one of the earliest concepts your child will learn. The lessons work to reenforce these basic identification\u00a0skills.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0Fast\/Slow:\u00a0<\/strong>The concepts of\u00a0fast<\/strong> and\u00a0slow<\/strong> will be used when moving through the water. You will be modeling the words while moving your child fast or slow throughout the water. Understanding tempo and movement is also key to understanding spatial awareness.<\/p>\n![\"img_5525\"](\"http:\/\/saynplaycolumbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_5525-1.jpg\")
