The different types of floats are:


Mushroom Float- is a float in which you bring the knees to the chest, submerging the face and
hugging the legs.
Horizontal Back Float- In horizontal back float, you stay comfortable instead of using much energy. In
performing a horizontal back float, you lie on your back in the water with your back slightly arched,
your arms out to the side and your legs straightly extended
Starfish Moat- It is a basic swimming method. In performing this float, you float on your back or your
chest in a horizontal position with the anus and legs extended or spread apart.
Jellyfish Float- This float is also called as survival float. This is sometimes taught in the first level of
swimming lessons, as part of water orientation skills, as well as in the later stages, as part of
fundamental aquatic skills.
Survival Float- Survival float uses a very little energy. It is useful in situations when you don't know
how long you'll need to stay afloat. To do so, you'll lie on your stomach with your face underwater
and your arms and legs dangling and bring your head back up and out of the water while pushing
down with your arms and legs, when needed to breathe.
Vertical Back Float- In this float, less of your body floats above the water. While your upper chest and
your face stay out of the water, your legs drop down below the surface.

The four types of swimming kicks are:


Mutter kick- An alternating whipping motion of the legs used in various swimming styles.
Scissor Kick- is a swimming kick used in the sidestrike, wherein one leg is moved forward and the
other bent back and they are then brought together again in a scissor-like position.
Frog Kick- this kick starts in a glide position. In this kick, your legs are simultaneously drawn towards
the body and bent at the knees with the feet together, straightened out with the legs apart, and the
brought together again quickly.
Dolphin Kick- In dolphin kick, your legs remains zipped together in one smooth line. And your legs
move up and down together, pushing you forward in the water.
