Free Float
Floating on the back is a skill some children find easy, many find difficult. It is a must for all kids to learn as being comfortable on the back is the position that uses the least amount of energy with the child still able to breath. Backfloating is also the first step towards learning Backstroke. Just like all uSwim skills, there are gradual steps that allow you to take a nervous child and over time get them comfortable on their back.
