(VIDEO) How Do I Teach My 2-Year-Old to Back Float?

Published: Sat, 10/17/20

Hello {{ subscriber.first_name or "friend" }}!

How are you doing? I hope life is treating you well. I'm just as busy as ever working on my latest online course for the 2 to 2 1/2-year-old.

Last week, I asked you to send me your swimming related questions for this age group. Several of you wanted to know how to teach these children to float on their backs.

I wrote a blog post about this very subject back in 2016, and last year, I added another video filled with extra tips and tricks to introduce back floating to kids.

Here's the video I made last year, but I recommend checking out the whole blog post. It's full of valuable information.

All of the techniques that I used in this video is appropriate for children 2-years plus.

I had Emily lie down on her back on the top step in very shallow water with her ears submerged in the video. Encourage your kids to do the same in the bathtub but under your supervision, of course.

Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll be back next week to answer more of your questions.

❤️ Your friend,

Tessa
