How I did it: In a swimcourse I leard it with various air-things, like swimming-wings and a ring and a bord and so (I guess you know how it works).

On Sunday I was swimming with my friend. I was pretty wondered about the fact he didn't know how to swim. So I wanted to teach him. First we hold fast the side of the pool upside-down and did the movements with the legs: I showed him how to do it and he did it like I did, later I conducted his legs with my hands for him not doing mistakes. He already knew the hands-movements, they are easy. Later he turned on the belly and did it again. I hold his hips to lie horizontally. Then he tried it in the open water, I still hold him. It worked out well when I noticed he was moving forward. He needs 1 or 2 times more to do it by himself, then he can do it, I'm sure :-)

Lessons & tips: Learn it with a friend and as a teacher always give motivation 'You can do it! - Good!'; and do it slow, fast movements don't work
