Swimming as a hobby, explaining that to 6 year olds

This Friday is Career and Hobby Day at my son's school. Most likely I will be put in a kindergarten class to speak for 15 min on swimming as a hobby. I have to repeat this 6 times (for each class). There is a chance that my coach, Jeremy Linn, will also come and he and I will share the time. But, in case something comes up, I need to be prepared to do all 15 min. Any suggestions as to what to do? What to say to 6 year olds about swimming? I do have photos of me swimming while growing up. I'm not sure what else I will bring. Maybe a few pairs of old goggles (I have about 10) and they can all put them on. Oh and the guidance counselor suggested I bring my parka, too. I guess the kids could try that on as well. And I'll have my gear bag with snorkel, fins, zoomers, kick board, etc.

  • Swimshark, That's so great. I'm sure that you made a lifetime swimmer or athlete out of at least one of those kids, and in doing so set that child on a path to gaining better health and self-discipline. You never know when one of these seemingly small interactions changes a child's life forever.
