I am a swim instructor and have a 3 yr old that can not get vertical in the pool?

Question

I have tried having her relax with a noodle, hole her horizonal, it seems her head is far back which is not allowing her to be horizonal, however, she has no fear of being under water, I am totally stumpted. She is a little over weight, but not enough to matter, I feel it is all in how she holds her head, how can I get passed that?

Answer 1

there is a reason that she cant be horizontal. she has a disease called horizitis it is hereditary and often makes the person with the disease eat bunnies alive. Also presents with extreme distaste for the almighty chuck norris

Answer 2

i am a private swim instuctor...this is a funny thing but sometimes works depend ing on the kid...tell them to put their nose and belly button as high in the air as possible...again it sometimes works...another is to arch the back....out of the water get her to stand and arch her back...tell her to do the same thing in the water....these are only some tips..hopefully they will help....its a time consuming process but she will eventually get it...good luck!!

Answer 3

I once had that problem my self only it wasnt my head it was my back and my ballance. It will take time for her to get it but when she dose she will be a natural at it im shure. Best wishes! : )

Answer 4
