"We enjoyed the book very much. We will be recommending it for our WSI course at Green Mtn. College next year and using it at our summer camp"
— Drs. J. Thayer and Candice L. Raines, Roaring Brook Camp for Boys "...this book certainly offers practical ideas for hours of fun in the water...Swimming instructors, camp counselors and activity coordinators, in particular, will find it a great addition to established curriculum, as will individual families who enjoy water activities." —

The benefits of water play are well known and these games for children aged four and up 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.
