From a seated position

For this exercise, your child should sit on the edge of the pool, bend their back, and let themselves fall forward into the water with outstretched hands. A swim ring can be used as an aid to encourage deeper diving. Falling into the water increases momentum and enhances body control. The hands should always point toward the target, as the child will glide in that direction. Additionally, this exercise is an excellent preparation for learning to dive in a later course.
