A method for teaching an adult or child how to breathe through an air regulator is provided. The method includes providing an air regulator and a first air pump positioned at a location proximate a residential pool and outside of the residential pool, wherein the air regulator and the air pump are operatively connected with one another via a hose that allows air to flow from the air pump and be supplied to the air regulator in an amount sufficient for a human child or adult that is able to swim to breathe. The method further includes supplying the adult or child air from the air pump via the hose and through the air regulator to allow the adult or child to breathe underwater in the residential pool.

1. A method for establishing a feeling of comfort for being in water in an individual that is afraid to swim or be in water that is deeper than a height the individual can stand in, and for breathing underwater through a pressure regulating device, comprising: providing an air supply device located outside a manmade swimming pool and proximate a perimeter of the manmade swimming pool, the air supply device having the pressure regulating device operatively connected thereto;connecting a hose to the pressure regulating device, wherein the hose includes a mouthpiece;initiating the air supply device causing the air supply device to move air through the hose and supply air to the individual via the mouthpiece;inserting the mouthpiece into a user's mouth;submerging the user's mouth into a manmade body of water;regulating the pressure of the air supplied to the individual and supplying the air at a pressure suitable for breathing by a human at various water depths;teaching the individual about how to wear the mouthpiece; andthe individual breathing as needed while the user's mouth and nose are underwater, and wherein the individual does not have a source of air underwater for the individual's use for breathing while in the manmade swimming pool. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of teaching the individual to swim in the manmade pool while breathing through the mouthpiece when the individual's nose and mouth are underwater and wherein pressure regulating device is a first pressure regulating device that is connected to the hose proximate a first end of the hose and the method further comprises connecting a second pressure regulating device to a second end of the hose. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the pressure regulating device is a first pressure regulating device that is connected to the hose proximate a first end of the hose and the method further comprises connecting a second pressure regulating device to a second end of the hose and wherein the first pressure regulating device reduces the air pressure prior to entering the hose and the second pressure regulating device is positioned proximate the second end of the hose and the mouthpiece and wherein the method further comprises the step of teaching the individual to snorkel in the manmade pool while breathing through the mouthpiece when the individual's nose and mouth are underwater. 4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of teaching the individual to scuba dive in the manmade pool while breathing through the mouthpiece when the individual's nose and mouth are underwater and releaseably engaging the air supply device to an anchor peg fixedly engaged to the perimeter of the manmade swimming pool. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the air supply device is an air pump capable of being moved between a plurality of locations proximate the manmade swimming pool and comprising at least two wheels. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the air supply device further comprises a check valve to assist in regulating the air pressure delivered to the individual. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the hose is a flexible elastomeric material and wherein a plurality of hoses, pressure regulating devices and mouthpieces are provided where each hose is generally connected with the air supply device and the pressure regulating device is operably connected to the mouthpiece. 8. A method for preventing a fear of swimming in a child while the child is learning how to engage in scuba diving, snorkeling, or swimming, comprising: providing an air pump that is connected to a flexible air supply hose, a first pressure regulating device, and a second pressure regulating device;connecting the first pressure regulating device to the hose proximate a first end of the hose;connecting the second pressure regulating device to a second end of the hose;generating a flow of breathable air to the child while the child is at least partially submerged in a residential pool;connecting a mouthpiece to one end of the flexible air supply hose;activating the air pump to start air flow through the flexible air supply hose;inserting the mouthpiece into the child's mouth to breathe the air supplied by the air pump while engaging in an underwater activity;instructing the child how to breathe air supplied by the air pump; andwherein the first pressure regulating device reduces the air pressure supplied from the air pump prior to entering the hose from the air pump and the second pressure regulating device is positioned proximate the second end of the hose and the mouthpiece and further reduces the air pressure of air in the hose supplied by the pump such that air breathed by the child is at a breathing air pressure level. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the air pump further comprises a check valve to assist in regulating the air pressure delivered to the child. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the air pump further comprises a check valve to assist in regulating the air pressure delivered to the child. 11. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of providing a teacher who is also underwater with the child, wherein the teacher breathes underwater using a second air regulator operably connected to either the air pump or a second air pump positioned at a location proximate the residential pool. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the air pump is capable of being moved between a plurality of locations proximate the residential pool and comprises at least two wheels. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of providing a teacher who is also underwater with the child, wherein the teacher breathes underwater using a second air regulator operably connected to either the air pump or a second air pump positioned at a location proximate the residential pool. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the hose is a flexible elastomeric material and wherein a plurality of hoses, pressure regulating devices and mouthpieces are provided where each hose is generally connected with the air pump and the pressure regulating device is operably connected to the mouthpiece. 15. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of providing a teacher who is also underwater with the child, wherein the teacher breathes underwater using a second air regulator operably connected to either the air pump or a second air pump positioned at a location proximate the residential pool. 16. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of supplying air further comprises passing air through an air regulator for adjusting the air pressure to suitable levels at various water depths. 17. The method of claim 8, wherein the air pump is capable of being moved between a plurality of locations proximate the residential pool and comprises at least two wheels. 18. The method of claim 8, wherein the hose is a flexible elastomeric material and wherein a plurality of hoses, pressure regulating devices and mouthpieces are provided where each hose is generally connected with the air pump and the pressure regulating device is operably connected to the mouthpiece. 19. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of providing a teacher who is also underwater with the child, wherein the teacher breathes underwater using a second air regulator operably connected to either the air pump or a second air pump positioned at a location proximate the residential pool.
