Are you using the correct hold for your specific swimmer? 👀

Not every swimmer needs the same type of support!

Because he is a bottom-heavy swimmer, he naturally wants to lift his head, causing his hips and legs to sink. By transitioning my hand from an underhand to an overhand hold, I can gently guide his face forward into the water and encourage a longer, more balanced swimming position.

We’re also continuously moving from a forward swim into a back float swim, laying back with ears in the water and finding the sky.

Small changes in our hand placement can make a BIG difference in helping each swimmer find the correct body position! 💦🐢

Try this with your swimmer and let us know!

Welcome to Day 1 of 15 minute trial lessons with my 4year old friend Chase!

Getting in the pool is the hardest part with any nervous, anxious & terrified swimmers.

Working through the difficult moments is so important, we always see them through. I’m so proud of Day 1

How do you think day 2 went?

Your swimmers first line of defence should be finding air.
Learning to swim properly, with perfect technique will come in time. Let’s give our swimmers all the chance we can.

Wherever you decide to go for lessons, this should be a priority - Finding air.

I’m so proud of her.

Let’s keep teaching all kids to swim, together!
