8 Tips For Teaching Your Kid How to Swim Like a Fish This Summer

When teaching strokes, encourage alternating their arms and legs, and for strokes in which they are facedown, advise them to breathe in between strokes. For the backstroke, remind them that they can breathe normally as their head is in the air, but when rolling to their front, to take a breath first and then continue swimming. When teaching how to roll, try having them kick off the edge facing up and rolling as they lose momentum, forcing them to start kicking and paddling as they turn.
