Leaning To Back Float is Vital To Beginner Swimmers.
I've noted that a lot of parents and indeed swimming teachers don't take the time to get new swimmers to start to float on their backs. This is a huge mistake! A good back float is vital if you want them to learn to swim properlyLearning Back Float is Learning To Swim Properly
The fact that most beginners are very afraid of being on their back when they first start to swim is the very reason they should be encouraged to do so.Consider that the main purpose of learning to swim is to be safe in the water. Yes, there are many other reasons, including fun, fitness and competitiveness. But these don't matter a jot if you are not safe in the water.
If a person is the most competent swimmer in the world on their front but is terrified to be on there back they are not safe in the water. No one can be safe in the water and yet be afraid to be in certain positions in the water. Sooner or later you are going to end up in that position and then you are going to be in difficulty.
