During baby swimming class, there is a repertoire of songs that coaches use. Â It may seem repetitive but children learn well from repetitive tasks.
Here goes, Song Number 1 usually is sung before the class commences to let the baby experience buoyancy in water.
1. Â Wheel On The BusÂ
The wheel on the bus go
round and round (3x)
The wheel on the bus go
round and round all through town
The children on the bus go
up and down (3x)
The children on the bus go
up and down all through town
The wipers on the bus go
swish swish swish (3x)
The wipers on the bus go
swish swish swish all through town
The doors on the bus goÂ
open and shut (3x)
The doors on the bus goÂ
open and shut all through town
END
Song Number 2 is sung when performing Toy Chase. Â Baby is to get a toy with hand and kick their legs to the basket to drop.
This is the way IÂ kick my legs
kick my legs (2x)
This is the way IÂ kick my legs
all day longÂ
END
Song Number 3 is sung when baby is seated on the mat or deck and lean forward into the water kicking their legs.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Song Number 4 is sung when baby is floating on his back.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars
How I wonder what you are
END
Song Number 5 is the finale. Â When baby hear this song, the baby will eventually realise it is the end of the class.
If you are happy and you know itÂ
Splash your hands
If you are happy and you know itÂ
Make some rain
If you are happy and you know it and you really want to show it
If you are happy and you know itÂ
Kick your legs
