... Movement in the WaterChildren should be encouraged to move freely at the earliest opportunity. Some may require the support of artificial aids or the assistance of a helper in the water. The availability of this type of support should be removed as soon as safety and confidence permit.

Swimming Lessons LanarkshireButterflyButterfly is the most recent of the strokes and is second in relation to speed, to Front Crawl Although the competitive Butterfly stroke is physically demanding, variations on the theme of Butterfly can be enjoyable activities that need not be too difficult. The potential to compete is developed gradually and learning the stroke should be fun. Babies often produce a dolphin type leg action without prompting. Body Position Key Points • prone, face down with the crown of the head leading • horizontal with an undulating, wave-like movement from head to toe • shoulders are kept level Swimming Lessons LanarkshireFloatingSupine Float
Being on the back means that breathing is easy. The position is ideally that taken up in a supine push and glide from which the skill may be practised. It can also be achieved from the standing position by lowering the shoulders to the surface and gently lying back in the water. If the legs tend to sink, it can be helpful to allow them to relax and bend. Try gently extending the arms beyond the head to a star position. These adjustments redistribute the weight and may succeed in enabling horizontal flotation. Key Points • relax and pillow the head back in the water • take a breath • shoulders down, lie back gently • lift the feet • gently extend the arms • maintain a star shape Swimming Lessons LanarkshireAllanton-North Lanarkshire (near Shotts) Balloch-North Lanarkshire (near Cumbernauld) Carron Bridge-North Lanarkshire (near Cumbernauld) Carstairs Junction-South Lanarkshire Chryston and Muirhead-North Lanarkshire Chryston and Muirhead-North Lanarkshire (near Kirkintilloch) Cumbernauld Village-North Lanarkshire (near Cumbernauld) Douglas Water-South Lanarkshire (near Lanark) Douglas West-South Lanarkshire (near Lanark) East Kilbride-South Lanarkshire High Blantyre-South Lanarkshire High Blantyre-South Lanarkshire (near Blantyre) Hyndford Bridge-South Lanarkshire (near Lanark) Kirk of Shotts-North Lanarkshire (near Airdrie) Meikle Earnock-South Lanarkshire (near Hamilton) Mount Vernon-City of Glasgow (near Blantyre) New Lanark-South Lanarkshire (near Lanark) New Stevenston-North Lanarkshire (near Motherwell) Newhouse-North Lanarkshire (near Airdrie) Old Monkland-North Lanarkshire (near Coatbridge) West End-South Lanarkshire Woolfords-South Lanarkshire Woolfords-South Lanarkshire (near Livingston)
