To help your child get comfortable on his or her back in the water, remind him or her to keep his or her belly button up, and have him or her:

• Look at the ceiling or sky
• Fill his or her belly with air to float
• Relax, laying like he or she is in bed
• Add in small baby kicks
• Add arms, pulling them straight up to the sky by touching his or her ears and back down by his or her hips using these cues
  • "Tickle," "T," "Touch"
