Emergency Floating Techniques:

 

If you are struggling to float in an emergency situation you can easily move onto your back and lay your head back until your ears are in the water and your chin is pointing up and away from your chest. Without pushing off the bottom, arch your back, push your hips and stomach toward the surface of the water letting your body move to its natural floating position. This position helps you to stay near the surface of the water where you can rest and get a breath while waiting for help to arrive in the event of an emergency. 

 

Another technique is to find a Chilli bin, Ruby ball or other floating objects. You can use these to help you float in the water.
