Free fall

Stand upright in the water with your legs together and arms at your sides. Fall forward like a plank and encourage your child to imitate you. Ensure there is enough space and a water depth of at least half a meter, depending on the child's size and weight. This exercise acts as a confidence booster and helps the child get used to lifting their feet off the ground. With sufficient space and depth, the risk of injury is minimal.
