Kids · Teens · Adults · SeniorsYour child learns to roll the shoulders gently from side to side on their back, while the head stays still. That small roll makes the arm stroke easier, smoother and kinder on the shoulders.

Your child learns to put each hand into the water above its own shoulder and push the water toward their feet. This is what moves them along in backstroke, so each stroke starts to carry them further.

Kids · Teens · Adults · SeniorsYour child learns to send both hands forward after each arm stroke, in one smooth move. This keeps breaststroke flowing instead of stopping and starting.
