Question

Can I teach a child in deep water?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

Of course, even if the child can't swim or can't swim well. You'd have to stay very close at all times to provide support. Diving in shallow water is more difficult than in deeper water (where the diver can't stand). You can also always let the lifeguards know so they pay extra attention to you.

Question

How do I correct a student who dives in an upside down V shape?

They're likely overrotating, entering the water with their bum first. Go back to a lower height off the water and have them crouch down all the way to deep squat, with their toes over the edge. From there, roll in and have them stretch out as far as they can before the touch the water, but still avoid the belly flop.
