Just like other pool toys, pool noodles are equally attractive to kids because they come in various colours and sizes. Not only are they colourful and fun, they are also very flexible and can be used for a long time without losing their shape and colour. Moreover, they are also an inexpensive tool that parents can use to help teach their child how to swim. In fact, they are the best floatation material for children, keeping them both safe and happy.
In addition, pool noodles can be utilized for various swimming techniques and works great for both kids and adults who want to learn swimming skills. So, can you use these noodles to learn how to swim? Here are the ways how.
Mastering floating
One great use of a pool noodle is for floating and mastering this swimming skill. You just have to place it under your armpits and you can float either horizontally or vertically. Just spend some time floating with it until you become more comfortable swimming with it. You can also use it to prepare to master a freestyle when you can finally let go of it as support.
Another perfect way to use the foam is to do a back floating. You just have to place the noodle under your neck as support then spread both of your arms to balance your float. Do it for some time until you get yourself mastering it for a backstroke.
Kicking and treading
When floating in a vertical position, pool noodles are also very helpful by allowing you to kick and try treading. After you have become comfortable doing it, you can finally let go of the foam and do the treading freely.
Making fun together with the family
Of course, the best part of using this flexible foam is to have some fun with your family. The foam can be joined together to create a raft. You can make a huge one for your entire family to enjoy while in the water.
