On the back

Another exercise for the backstroke leg stroke is for the child to clasp a swimming board and float on their back. They should then stretch their legs slowly and in a controlled manner and pull them back up again without spreading their knees. They should take a short break between each leg stroke. This teaches them to move their legs efficiently and not to tire too quickly. After a few attempts, the child can try to cover a certain distance with as few leg kicks as possible. For example, they should cover ten meters with a maximum of seven leg kicks. With this exercise, the child can improve the backstroke leg stroke and have fun.
