@confidentswimming: Learning to stand from a back float can be really challenging as a beginner! A lot of advice out there encourages learners to 'lift their heads' - but actually, this can be one of the most unhelpful things to do. As with our front stands, the process of standing isn't actually 'trying to come out of the water / trying to get our feet on the floor' - but actually, of 'swinging' and rotating the whole body, from a horizontal (float) position, to a vertical (standing) position. Some learners can get away with lifting their head. But a large number of learners NEED to make sure they keep their head resting back, and focus not on 'lifting out of the water', but instead, on 'pushing the HIPS, deeper, and deeper'. It is the pushing of the hips deeper, and behind, that actually rotates the body safely into a vertical, standing position. As soon as we lift the head - if we have not developed an effective push of the hands - that's when we can actually lose our sense of stability and balance, go underwater, and panic! Although I show this skill in this video doing 'one' push, I normally encourage my beginner swimmers to aim for at least 3 - 5 pushes - maybe even more, and being very, very PATIENT :) When adult beginners are learning, one push might not be enough. Patience is key in developing this skill :) I will also ALWAYS support the learner by gently supporting their back. This helps them to relax more as they develop the skill, and provides a little stability as they fine tune their 'push'/rotation technique. I was going to include in the video a demonstrating of me doing multiple pushes (and not just 1), but decided not to. But let me know if you'd like to see this other version of the back stand :) Don't forget, sign up to my Free SWIMMING FOUNDATIONS Course, currently in the making, if you want to understand the Fundamentals of learning to swim as an adult in more detail! Hope it helps :) #swimming #watersafety #adultswimming #learntoswim #backfloat
