Courage test over mat

Place a swim mat at the edge of the pool and hold it securely. The child should cross the mat in different ways. Shy children might start on all fours and become braver with repeated attempts. Ensure there are no other children or hard objects nearby. The goal is to reduce fear of the water, with the exercise being adaptable to each child's comfort level.
