TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Aquatic locomotion: forgotten fundamental movement skills? JO - New Zealand physical educator A1 - Button, Chris SP - 8 EP - 10 VL - 49 IS - 1 N2 - In this article I will explain what fundamental movement skills (FMS) are and why they are considered an important platform for a healthy and active life. Then I make the case that notable absentees from most FMS taxonomies and assessment tools are the skills needed to move effectively in aquatic environments. Hence, I argue that certain aquatic skills should first be acknowledged as fundamental to human motor development, and that appropriate emphasis on teaching aquatic movement skills must follow.
