Floating Made Easy: Tips for Toddlers and Beginners

Floating is an essential survival skill and a first step to proper swimming. Helping your child learn to float can be a fun and rewarding experience:

• Use Support: Start by holding your child gently under their back while they float on their back. Gradually reduce support as they gain balance and confidence.

• Relax and Stretch: Remind kids to keep their bodies straight and arms open wide. Encouraging them to relax and trust the water is crucial for floating success.

• Calm Environment: Practice floating in a warm, calm pool to minimize distractions and help them feel secure.

With regular practice, children will feel comfortable and independent in the water. Celebrate small victories along the way to boost their confidence and enjoyment.
