With pool noodle

Use a pool noodle to make the exercise easier (see image), letting the learner focus on the kick and the water feel in the legs. Note that the noodle allows the child to straighten up and drop the hips without sinking — ensure the gaze stays upward, the chin is tilted back and the hips are pushed up. Limit the noodle's use when practicing on the back.
