"In this section I'll be talking about step number ten, when you're teaching a child how to swim. So, you've already gone through steps one through nine, now you're trying to figure out what other steps are there. Well, you kind of just change it up a little bit so, now that they're more comfortable with using their arms, their legs, they already know a little bit about the breathing, so what you want to do is the doggy paddle. Kind of play a game with them, it's always fun to just play games with kids, or whomever you're teaching, so kind of have them either chase you, or what you could do as well, is just have them doggy paddle from one side of the pool, to maybe half way where you're at, or maybe even all the way from one end of the pool to the other end of the pool. And, it's really great for you know, having them get comfortable with more of the water, plus also it's showing them that you don't have to be touching the floor, and it's a different way of always staying above the water, without having to worry about you know, going underneath or drowning or anything like that. Alright, in this section, it's a continuation with step number ten. And, you just have them doggy paddle, like so, just like that, and they can doggy paddle to you, they can doggy paddle you know, however they want around the pool, and it prevents them from drowning."
