Move your arms to your side and wave your hands, palms down, away from your hips. This will help you float and move around.

Niall Wednesday 6th of March Hi Christophe. What would be the best strokes for me to concentrate on? Or will I be able for any? Christophe Wednesday 6th of March Hi Niall, In my opinion, the best swimming stroke to use in your case would be front crawl, as it is possible to swim this stroke with a relaxed two-beat flutter kick of low amplitude.
However, being able to swim that way also requires some experience and a good balance. Good luck! Gustavo Saturday 28th of January Thank you so much for this helpful information!
