🏊 SWIMMING SKILL SPOTLIGHT: THE BACK FLOAT⁠
⁠
Here's something worth teaching every young swimmer:⁠
⁠
You don't always have to keep swimming.⁠
⁠
When swimmers become tired, knowing how to roll onto their back, float and regain control of their breathing can be an incredibly valuable skill.⁠
⁠
A good back float involves:⁠
⁠
💧 Keeping the head relaxed and supported by the water⁠
⁠
💧 Allowing the body to spread out⁠
⁠
💧 Breathing slowly and steadily⁠
⁠
💧 Making small adjustments to maintain balance⁠
⁠
It sounds simple, but floating comfortably takes practice.⁠
⁠
Sometimes one of the smartest swimming skills is knowing how to stop moving.⁠
⁠
Remember, floating is one part of water survival skills, not a replacement for supervision or a lifejacket where required.⁠

It’s Water Safety Awareness Month. Here are five simple ways to stay safe in the water this summer. 🌊

1 Know how to float. If you get into trouble, float on your back with your ears in the water, relax and breathe normally.
2 Find the safest place to swim. Check for dangers like strong currents and choose spots with lifeguards on duty.
3 If in doubt, stay out. Conditions can change quickly, so it’s always better to wait for another day.
4 Take care of yourself and others. Swim with a buddy, wear a well-fitted life jacket and keep children within arm’s reach.
5 Know how to get help. Raise your arm and call out. If you see someone in trouble, call 111 and ask for police.

The best way to keep your kids safe around water is to give them the skills and confidence to handle it. Time is running out before the school holidays, so now is the time to lock in a spot.

Book your child’s swimming lessons today. Link in bio. 🏊

🌊 THE BEACH DOESN'T HAVE A SHALLOW END.⁠
⁠
Or lane ropes. Or a wall to grab when you're tired.⁠
⁠
That's why being confident in a swimming pool is only part of the picture.⁠
⁠
As children grow, they need to develop skills that help them manage different situations in the water.⁠
⁠
💧 Controlling their breathing⁠
⁠
💧 Floating and recovering when tired⁠
⁠
💧 Understanding their limits⁠
⁠
💧 Recognising when conditions aren't safe⁠
⁠
Swimming lessons build the foundations. Water awareness, supervision and safe decisions help protect them beyond the pool.⁠
⁠
This summer, don't just ask if your child can swim. Ask what they'd do if they got tired.⁠
