Types of Float
Horizontal Back Float
In the horizontal back float, you lie on your back in the water with your back slightly arched, your arms
out to the sides and your legs straight. Your face won’t go underwater and your legs, if relaxed will float.

Vertical Back Float

In the vertical back float, your upper chest and face stay above water, but your legs sink below the
surface, unlike the horizontal back float where more of your body remains afloat.

Survival Float
Lie face-down in the water, arms and legs loose. When you need air, lift your head above water, push
down with limbs, inhale, relax briefly, then exhale as you surface.

Treading Water
Treading water isn't traditional floating but allows an easy switch between positions. Keep your head
above water, extend your arms, and use scissor kicks for buoyancy and observation.

Tuck Float
To perform a tuck float, curl your body into a tight ball while floating on your back, bringing your knees
close to your chest and wrapping your arms around your legs.

Log Roll Float

To execute a log roll float, lie on your back in the water with your body fully extended and arms at your
sides. Then, gently and continuously roll your body from side to side, resembling the motion of a log
floating on the water's surface, to maintain balance and relaxation.
