He never actually floats on his own.

So the trick here is to out your head back as you can and your belly out?

That kid is so relaxed in the water. I'm trying to teach a very nervous 5 and 7 year old to swim. They are always very tense, but they finally trust me to let me hold them like this. They always tense their muscles though, and it makes it harder to float. Any idea how I can get them to relax?

@AppelMak ask them questions if they can gear you underwater, or get them to sing a song with you. That is what I do, to distract kids from their fear.

It tends work better if you tell the child to make the shape of a star fish doing this would help their body float as their surface area is spread out more
