Swimming Step 1: Try floating on your back.
- Stay in a shallow depth and try floating on your back.
- Take a deep breath and then float; if your lungs are full of air, your body will float for sure.
- There will be water around your ears; your nose and mouth will be in the air.
- For stability, put out your arms so that your body is in a “T” shape.
Swimming Step 2: Learn breathing technique
- Take a deep breath and put your face underwater.
- Slowly exhale out your nose until you’re out of breath, then come back up. Bubbles should come out.
