Jetzt schießen nicht nur Delfine durchs Wasser, sondern auch „blue dolphins“ – im Titelsong der englischen Version von „Aquapädagogik – früh, sicher und vielseitig schwimmen!“ 2011 für den Lehrfilm des Sportpädagogen Uwe Legahn komponiert und getextet, segelt der Song jetzt bereits durch englischsprachige Gewässer. Gesungen von Kindern der International School Hamburg, mit einer Klavierbegleitung von James Mironchik, die selbst alten Rochen in die Knorpel fährt. Reinhören? Einfach auf die Ente klicken …
Aquapedagogy Song Have you seen fish swim? They look fantastic! Ducks simply do it right from the start, Frogs move their legs as if they were elastic, The way they cross the ponds is just state-of-the-art. Blue dolphins – like arrows – shoot through the water, Squeak, click and whistle, laugh in your face, Jellyfish float, but strong waves make them falter, Curled up or unfolded, the sea horse moves with grace. Refrain: Where the corals look so pretty And the whales intone their ditty, You’ll feel right at home, no doubt! And in each sea, each lake or pool, You’ll dig swimming, ’cause it’s cool, Come on and get your swim gear out! What makes you swim like a fish in the water? How do you learn it, when does it „click“? Just start early and safe, and you’ll conquer each wave: With trust and reliance it works really quick! Aqua means water – worldwide, in each quarter! It’s fun to plunge in, get wet and have fun. Now, come on inside, just let trust be your guide, You’re not too small, let’s jump in one by one. Refrain: Where the corals look so pretty And the whales intone their ditty, You’ll feel right at home, no doubt! And in each sea, each lake or pool, You’ll dig swimming, ’cause it’s cool, Come on and get your swim gear out! Some people think that water is eerie, Others believe that swimming is tough, Just trust yourself, this adventure is cheery, Swimming is easy, you’ll see, sure enough! With other kids you’ll be swimming and diving Into the water – cheerful and bright, You’re doing fine, you are learning and striving, If water wings bug you – just put them out of sight! Refrain: Where the corals look so pretty And the whales intone their ditty, You’ll feel right at home, no doubt! And in each sea, each lake or pool, You’ll dig swimming, ’cause it’s cool, Come on and get your swim gear out! Coda: It’s no big deal – you can swim like a slick seal, Do the froggie or just paddle like a doggie! It’s no big deal – you can swim like a slick seal, Do the froggie or just paddle like a doggie!
