How to Teach Kids to Swim : Teaching a Child the treading water techniques




Learn how to teach a child how to perform the treading water techniques.
It will take time and practice to get better at it. It's almost like you're sitting in the water. It should get easier as you go on. I think you can reach your goal of treading water for an hour if you keep working hard at it. All it takes is hard work, practice, and time. You'll get better at it.
Treading water is very importance if they know how to perform the treading water they don't get freaked out if they move into deeper water to swim, it's the same as if you were in the shallow water.

The most efficient way of treading water is an eggbeater kick which is actually remarkably easy to teach, if you know how, Modified breaststroke legs causes the child to constantly bob up and down, even 'hurdling' legs gives a more stable position in the water. I only teach this kick if the child cant 'get the hang of asymmetrical legs with symmetrical arms . The sculling should be corrected, fingers are apart making it inefficient. I coach synchro too and hate seeing sculling taught badly,

Thank you for sharing. Not everyone can afford drowning prevention lessons it is nice to have some usable tips from an instructor.
