Swimming Games
Primarily and most importantly, our swimming products have been designed and developed to encourage children to enjoy swimming but also learn valuable skills at the same time.
Not only do the Gogglows, Coinglows and Gemglows bring excitement to the pool but will also grow with the advancement and ability of the swimmer, with the variety of games that can be played.
Gogglows Games:
Game suggestion to develop techniques and ability for the more advanced swimmer:
1. How fast can you swim? Can you swim 1 x width (15m) or 1 x length (25m) or even 2 x lengths (50m) of the swimming pool before the L.E.D illuminations go out? Activate the L.E.D lights then swim your best stroke as fast as you can, when the lights go out your time is up!
2. Activate your Gogglows and take a deep breath, dive under the surface and see if you can stay under the water surface until your Gogglows lights go out, hold your hand just in front of the goggles to see the gogglows light reflection.
3. Why not play a game of chase in the pool with your friends? The oldest player tries to catch the other players but if your Gogglows are flashing you have automatic immunity. However, when the auto timer switches your swimming goggles lights off, you lose immunity and if tagged you are then the chaser.
Game suggestion to build confidence and become more adventurous for the beginner swimmer and for those who have just learnt to swim:
1. A game for two or more swimmers. Who can swim the furthest before their swimming goggles lights stop flashing?
2. Activate the lights of your swimming goggles. Can you tread water for 30 seconds whilst the lights flash.
3. Can you float on your back like a star for 30 seconds until your swimming goggles lights stop flashing?
Game suggestion to build confidence and to encourage the swimmer to dip their head under the water. Ideal for the nervous swimmer and for those who are just starting to learn to swim:
1. With your swimming goggles lights flashing, place your face close to the water’s surface and see if you can see your goggles lights flashing in the reflection of the water.
2. Activate your swimming goggles lights and place half your face under the water’s surface.
3. Try blowing bubbles with your swimming goggles lights flashing whilst your mouth is just under the water’s surface.
Coinglows Games:
Game suggestion to develop techniques and ability for the more advanced swimmer:
1. Use one Coinglow as the marker and drop it into the middle of the pool, then sit on the edge of the pool and see who can skim their coin nearest to the marker coin.
2. Drop all 4 Coinglows into the deep end of the pool then dive in and see how many Coinglows you can catch before they hit the bottom of the pool.
3. Game for one or more players and only one coin is required per player. From the edge of the pool place your coin 3 metres away then streamline from the pool wall until you reach your coin marker. Keep moving the coin 1m further away until you reach the other end of the pool.
Game suggestion to build confidence and become more adventurous for the beginner swimmer and for those who have just learnt to swim:
1. Activate the coins lights then drop the Coinglows into the pool. Can you collect all 4 coins and return them into the net bag before they stop flashing?

You must collect the coins in a sequence of either “2 Gold coins 1st and then 2 Silver coins” or “1 Gold coin followed by 1 Silver coin followed by another Gold coin and finally the last Silver coin”.

1. Place one Gemglow at each end of the pool, switch on gem 1 and swim to the other side, switch on the Gem 2, then swim back and switch on Gem 1 again, etc. See how long you can keep going before the gems stop glowing without a break.
2. Ask a friend to stand on the edge of the pool and activate one Gem at a time then throw it into the pool. If you return with the Gem still glowing, your friend then throws another activated Gem into the pool. Continue until you return with a non-flashing Gem. How many Gems can you collect?
3. If you have two or more players, choose one Gemglow each and remember your colour. Then throw them all into the pool at the same time, dive in and see who can climb back out of the pool first holding their chosen coloured Gemglow. Gain extra bonus points if the gem is still illuminated.
