Children like to be called fish, or given the names of certain kinds of fish or water creatures familiar to them, such as ducks, seals, sharks, whales, even goldfish. Few small children know what a mermaid is, or an eel, so calling them one has little meaning. In this series of lessons the children are called ducks until they become afloat, then corks or floaters (in doing the floats and glides), steamboats (when they are using the whole stroke, i.e., arms and legs); back swimmers (when they are using the back kick and finning) and deepwater bugs (when they can swim across the width of the pool in deep water). What they are called does not make so much difference, but the idea that these names represent a graduation, from one step to the next, is comprehensible and satisfying to them.

Before children enter a pool it is a good idea to remind them to please deposit their gum. And it is also a good idea to have the children blow their noses before they get into the water. And it never fails for some that the minute they are wet, up to their chins, they need to use the toilet. By the way, children would not think of urinating in a swimming pool; they are too recently well-schooled in the art of keeping dry.

Girls with great mops of flowing hair, pony tails, and braids should wear caps. Hair is a menace to the filter system, but more important, the idea of getting all that hair wet stands in the way of their wanting to put their heads under. Barrettes, bobby pins, and ribbons usually fall right out . . . so, make all hair ornaments taboo.
