Blowing bubbles, this is really good to teach them about not breathing in, but out and can lead to holding their breath. Lying on their backs, head on your shoulder and kicking. In a shallow pool, trying to pick pool toys off the floor, you can assist them a bit, but teaches them to put the head into the water on their own. With a floating device on their back, running to fetch a floating toy. Jumping into the pool, standing on the edge, touching their toes then jumping to you. Let them fall in the water, don't catch them straight away. Also assist them to climb out of the pool on their own. Underwater swims, with someone else, guiding them underwater to the other person.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 5.15pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;">&nbsp;</span></p>
