ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Swim Class Struggles | FULL EPISODE | Learning Cartoons for Kids|Lu & The Bally Bunch | 9 Story Kids
Hi there! Are you ready for a fun adventure at the pool? Today, we’re going to learn about swimming and how exciting it can be!
Dean is going to swim class for the first time. He’s never been in a pool before, and he’s feeling a little nervous. But that’s okay! It’s normal to feel a bit scared when trying something new.
Dean’s mom is helping him get ready. She makes a big splash in the pool, and everyone is excited to start the class. The water is nice and warm, perfect for swimming!
Jacine, the swim teacher, asks everyone to try bobbing in the water. Bobbing means going up and down in the water like a little bouncing ball. Some kids love it, but Dean isn’t sure about getting his head wet.
Next, it’s time to practice kicking. Kicking helps you move in the water. Dean’s friends show him how fun it is, but Dean is still feeling a bit scared.
Jacine introduces the monkey crawl. It’s a fun way to move along the edge of the pool. Dean’s friends invite him to join, but he’s not ready yet. Instead, they all decide to have some juice together.
Dean’s friends realize that he feels scared about swimming. They understand that it’s important to listen to each other’s feelings. Dean doesn’t have to swim if he’s not ready, and that’s perfectly okay.
After watching his friends, Dean feels a little braver. He decides to try getting into the pool. This time, he feels less scared and more excited!
Dean finally gets into the pool, and everyone cheers for him. He learns that it’s okay to take things at his own pace and that trying new things can be fun!
It’s okay to feel scared when trying something new. You can take your time and try when you’re ready. Swimming can be a fun adventure, and your friends will be there to cheer you on!
Water Exploration at Home: Fill a small basin or bathtub with water and let the children explore. Encourage them to try bobbing small toys up and down in the water, just like Dean learned to bob in the pool. Ask them to describe what happens to the toys when they push them down and let go. This helps them understand buoyancy and get comfortable with the idea of moving in water.
Kick Practice with a Twist: Have the children lie on their tummies on a soft surface like a carpet or a yoga mat. Ask them to pretend they are in the pool and practice kicking their legs as if they are swimming. You can play some fun music and turn it into a game by asking them to kick faster or slower with the rhythm. This activity helps them get used to the kicking motion in a fun and safe environment.
Feelings and Faces: Create a set of cards with different facial expressions (happy, scared, excited, nervous). Ask the children to pick a card that shows how they might feel about trying something new, like swimming. Discuss why they chose that card and what might help them feel more comfortable. This encourages them to express their feelings and understand that it’s okay to feel different emotions when trying new things.

Class swim class.
Dean: Hi!
Hey, are you here for swim class?
Dean: It’s my first time in a pool, isn’t it?
Yeah, I’m excited!
Mom: Look at me!
That was a big splash!
Is it on yet?
Mom: Almost. You know, this might go faster if you stood still.
I can’t, I’m too excited!
[Music]
[Applause]
Almost class time!
Yeah, come on!
[Music]
Jacine: Okay, who’s ready to get started?
Me! Me!
Come on, Dean, the water’s nice and warm!
[Music]
Okay, how about we do some bobbing?
Yeah! Yay! Woohoo!
Come on, get in the pool!
Yeah, come on! It’s so fun!
Nope, I do not want to get my head wet.
See, you’ll like it!
No, I won’t! I don’t want to!
Okay, how about we practice our kicks next?
Yeah, super!
Come to the pool, Dean! I want to see your kicking!
Kicking’s for beginners!
Yeah, watch this!
[Music]
Are you feeling nervous?
Yeah, I’m scared.
You can go at your own pace, Dean. The pool will still be here.
Aw, who is kicking?
Okay, who’s ready for the monkey crawl?
Oh, me! Me!
Do you want juice in the café, Dean?
Yes!
Mom: I’d like juice too, please, for when I get out.
Okay!
I wish you were a monkey too, Dean!
Come on, eat with us!
Come on, Dean, with us!
Maybe I’ll try.
Dean, you’re almost in the pool! Yay!
Come play in the pool!
No, no, no! Come back!
I do not like swimming.
What happened?
You kept telling me to come in the pool, but I’m not ready. I’m scared, and my heart is racing!
I wanted you to have fun swimming like me.
It’s not fun for me. It looks all wet, and you have to put your head near the water and maybe even put your face in, and the pool is really big!
Oh, I didn’t know it was like that for you, Dean.
I don’t want you to feel scared.
Dean, you don’t have to come swimming if you’re not ready.
I am ready for one thing!
What?
Two!
Oh, me too!
I wish I listened to your feelings when you didn’t want to come into the pool, Dean.
Thanks! Great work, everyone!
Everything okay?
Yep! Dean sort of did not get into the pool today. Would you like to do some moves on the pool deck?
I’ll do moves on the pool deck too!
Dean, you don’t have to get in the water.
Okay!
What is it, Dean?
I think I want to try getting in the pool.
You’re not scared now?
Not as much! I want to try it, and now I won’t get splashed!
Hooray! You’re in the pool!
[Music]
Splish splash, splish splash!
[Music]
Stop!
