Kids Swimming Lessons: Full Body Movement

Video Transcript

"In this section it's step number five, and I'll be talking to you about having them pretty much doing like a full body movement. So, they're not going to be doing it on their own right away, you just kind of want to grab them around the waist, and have them move their arms, start having them move their arms, having them cup their hands, kicking their legs up and down, and you want them to do that a couple of times. Now, hopefully if you've kind of gone over the whole airplane thing, you've taught them how to float on their face, after you grab them around the waist then, have them get to the edge of the pool, and of course, an area where they can reach the floor, always make sure that they can reach the floor at first. And, then have them just kind of kick off and you know, move their arms and kick their legs and maybe it might, may look a little sloppy, that's fine, you just want them to get used to it, and have them go to a certain distance towards you. Now, I have had kids in the past, where they may be really young, but they are really comfortable in the water so we take them to the deep end, so maybe they get a little bit used to that as well. In this section, we're going to do a continuation of step number five. So, they're just going to be moving their arms, and their also going to be kicking their legs. So, for example: you can be supporting them around the waist, and just having them go like this, and support them around the waist."
