The benefits of water play are well known and these games for children are an enjoyable mix of old and new. Best of all they burn calories and improve a child's overall fitness level. The activities are in six sections: racing games, tag games, imagination games, team games, out-of-pool games and individual activities. Safety is emphasised throughout and a special section covers exercises including water walking, jumping and balance activities. The pool games were created for all skill levels, so whether your child is just a beginner in swimming lessons or if your child is the next Ian Thorpe they can all join in. They can be used at birthday parties, children's camps, your local swimming pool, the beach or a health club. Ages 4 & up
