Flutter kick in side position

The child lies on their side in the water. The body should be as parallel to the pool wall as possible, not just slightly rotated. One arm is extended forward, while the other arm rests alongside the body. The mouth and nose should remain above the water on the side throughout the exercise, with the head resting on the extended arm. This exercise teaches the correct body position for freestyle breathing. Ensure that your child’s extended hand stays at the water's surface. It’s easy to let the forward arm drop during this exercise, but this is a mistake. The hand must remain as extended as possible at the water's surface.
