Pull along the edge

In the deep pool, the child pulls themselves along the edge, alternating hands, for about ten meters. Afterward, they try to climb out of the pool on their own, with parental support if needed. The tuck jump exercise is necessary in deep water to avoid injuries. However, many children are afraid of the deep water. Pulling along the edge helps them become familiar with the deep water and makes it easier for them to later attempt the jump. If your child is afraid of the deep water, start with a regular jump before progressing to the tuck jump.
