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

• turn to face the wall

• lower the body carefully

• the body should be as horizontal as stroke movements allow. This means that there is a greater slope down to the seat than in other strokes in order to keep the leg action in the water

• good floaters find it easy to achieve a stable, almost horizontal position. Poor floaters usually need to lift and lower the head every stroke cycle

• ASA Law states that the shoulders must be horizontal. This helps to avoid uneven leg actions

Swimming Lessons Southern Ireland

This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position.

• lean forward to face down position

• lift the legs

• make a star shape

• relax

• keep the head down
