Side Kick – swimming activities

Leg kick performed lying on the side.

Activities

• Buddy Float Tow – A lifesaving taster: one swimmer holds a float and relaxes on their back; the rescuer tows them by the float, never by grabbing them.
• Side Kick Breathing – Kicking on the side with one arm extended; the face rolls down and back to the side – the easiest way to learn to breathe without lifting.
• Side Kick Surfing – Swimmers kick lying on their side with the lower arm stretched out – body balance and a kick that works in any position.
