Add some fun to your swimming lessons with these baking themed games

Teachers wanting to add some fun to their swimming lessons are being encouraged to check out Swim England’s baking inspired games.

Cake Mix, Ducklings and Stages 1-3

Swimmers form a circle, creating a whirlpool. They add toy ingredients in the middle and mix them by changing direction.

Equipment: toys, small floats

Cake Layer, Stage 3 +

Sort your swimmers into pairs, they will take it in turns to collect layers of cake (floats) from the other side of the pool, and stack them to see who can make the tallest cake.

If the cake collapses, that team is out.

Equipment: floats

Egg Beater challenge, Stages 6-7 and Water Safety 3

Put together an obstacle course for your swimmers.

Treading water could represent whisking, collecting a sinker could represent different cake ingredients.

Lastly, ask your swimmers to perform a sequence of different floats to represent their final cake creation.

Equipment: sinkers
