Teaching the non-swimmer to enter the water safely is an important starting point. This can be achieved through a variety of methods and must be appropriate to the needs of the individual.

• face the steps

• hold with both hands

• one step at a time

• useful for the nervous

• time consuming if done with large numbers

• both hands to one side

Practice

• in shoulder depth water, a float under each arm, try out different leg actions.

• put as little pressure as possible on the floats.

• tip head slightly back if needed

• in water where the swimmers are out of their depth, hold the rail (side) at arms length, hold a float in the other hand, and practise chosen leg actions

• gentle, unhurried leg action

• at the side, hold the rail as before but scull with the other arm. Practise chosen leg action

• scull well below the surface

Before going on to treading water entirely independently, it is useful to practise floating skills. This underlines the fact that little effort and energy need be used in order to stay afloat when treading water.
