"In this section this is going to be game number twelve, and it's called chasing the instructor or if you are the parent that's actually teaching your child and chasing mommy or daddy or whatever the case may be. And it's really great because as they're chasing you, they're going to tend to pretty much get off the floor, like kind of move off the floor and lean on the surface of the water so they're almost like doggy paddling. And maybe what you want to tell them is try to cup their hands and go like this as they're chasing you to just move their arms and kick their feet. And it's not only cute, but it really helps strengthen their legs, it gets their arms more familiarized so when you teach them to fully swim, it's the same thing as when they were chasing you. So you can always go back to this section and say, "remember when you where chasing me? You were moving your arms and kicking your legs. Do the same thing, but this time put your head in the water." So you have a lot of options you can do when they're chasing you. Alright, this is a continuation to the game chase. basically you need at least two people to play this game. Basically you have one person who is going to be the chaser and the second person is going to be the chaser. So the idea behind this game is the chaser is going to be running or slight dog paddling, whatever you prefer, while the other person is literally trying to get away. And so the idea is the chaser is just going after them all the way, all the way and just trying to touch them or grab them. And that's called chase."
