Kids learn by playing. The more you can make learning to swim fun for your kids, the more they’ll like it, the quicker they’ll learn, and the more fun you’ll have teaching them. This way of practicing gliding in the streamline or torpedo position is sure to make the whole family giggle.
Play catch with your gliding child as the ball. (You’ll need another adult for this one.) How far can the ball go? What kind of ball is he? Maybe he’s an arrow instead, or a javelin. Let him choose. Make a big deal out of the catch. Try not to tickle him too much, unless he likes it.
