Using floating devices for the arm might be useful, but if none, your arms will serve as the child’s assistance to float. Be extra careful that water doesn’t get in their mouth or nose, as this might give the child a bad experience and use it as an excuse to why they doesn’t want to continue.
Once they agree, repeat the second exercise and gradually increase the challenge and difficulty by again, slowly releasing the assistance from your hands. This time, make them move their hands and kick slowly to generate greater surface area. This will make them more confident and secure.
