Few arm strokes

The child swims on their back, as in the core exercise "Otter Swimming," occasionally attempting an arm stroke. For each arm stroke, at least eight flutter kicks are performed before switching to the other arm. In the early stages, arm strokes can significantly disrupt a child's water position. Many children try to replicate the land exercise as quickly as possible, resulting in wild, uncontrolled arm movements. By limiting the number of arm strokes, the water position remains stable, allowing the child to fully focus on executing each arm stroke correctly.
