Jump from the arm

Two people are needed: one bends their arm to create a seat in front of their body, the other places the toddler on it by the armpits, steps back about a meter and encourages the child to jump. Ideally the child jumps toward a trusted person (mother or father) for extra motivation; the seat person can lean forward slightly so the child can actively lean toward the parent. This is much easier than jumping from the pool edge.
