How to teach your child to swim easy lessons anyone can do

Instructions

While holding the child under the armpits and walk them around in the water to develop a feeling of comfort in an aquatic environment. Smile and talk to demonstrate that this new place is fun and interesting.
Have the child kick their legs while holding onto the side of the pool so you can guide their legs. Then do it with your hands beneath their armpits to develop the feeling of motion.
Blow bubbles in the water with the child as they kick to get them used to putting their face in the water.
Show your child how to hold their breath by doing it yourself above water first, get your child to hold their breath above water too and ensure they can do this above water before attempting the next step.
Gradually begin dunking your child down to practice holding their breath. Accompany the child underwater and play underwater games to get them to open his eyes.
Support the child around their waist or chest and begin having them stroke with their arms. Demonstrate the motion yourself, and then guide the child's arms. Then let them do it on their own while you support them in the water. Ensure they keep kicking.
Have the child swim a short distance from the wall to you. Begin at a very short distance, so that they can almost jump the span at first. Gradually increase the distance.
Demonstrate to the child how to breathe by lifting or turning their head as the distance from you to them gets far enough to necessitate this.
Instruct the child to jump into the pool from the side with you there to catch them at first, and then increase the distance so that they must jump and swim.
