If your child has mastered the tuck position in the water from a standing position, you can gently spin them around using both hands—but please, without overdoing it. This exercise encourages a temporary loss of orientation in the water and helps train the ability to regain alignment. The ability to orient oneself after a brief loss of orientation is a critical safety skill in the water. Through such exercises, the child becomes accustomed to temporary disorientation and is less likely to panic in real-life situations.
