Nitro Swim School Station Highlight of the Month
Nitro 1 Station 3
The Bluefish kick! Of course your first question must be, "What's a blue fish and how exactly are they supposed to kick?". The blue fish position for Nitro 1 is when a swimmer puts their hands together extended reaching in front of the swimmer while keeping their eyes looking at the bottom of the pool laying on their tummy. When kicking the swimmer needs to have their legs stretched out and kicking with toes pointed behind the swimmer.
Tips for Homework!
If you would like to practice at home for this station some things to do would be practicing holding our breath under the water in the bath tub making a big bubble with our mouth to ensure we are full of air before we go under the water. Some other things to practice would be laying on their tummy on the floor or a bed and practicing kicking with straight legs pointed toes without bending their knees as well as keeping their hands together and still reaching out in front. If you have any other questions about this station or any of the other stations in the Nitro Curriculum feel free to ask a Deck Instructor for some tips we are always happy to help in any way we can!
*PARENTS*
To ensure the comfort and safety of all swimmers,
please be sure to stay at Nitro while your swimmer is in the water.

Don't forget your goggles!
Goggles are essential to bring for your swimmer. Swimmer's are trying their best to improve themselves and the last thing they need to be worrying about is the water irritating their eyes. An easy way to remember everything you need for swimming is to have a dedicated swim bag to hold all of your swimmer's essentials; swimsuit, goggles, swim cap, extra dry clothes and a towel. If you haven't done so already, stop by the Front Desk to receive a 100% recyclable and reusable complimentary Nitro bag to help keep your swimmer organized and ready to swim!
