Will use a quick 5 to 10 minute drill that simulates the Navy SEAL training drownproofing test as a warm up prior to any swim workout. Do it as a warm-up, think of it as a warm-up, and it becomes just a warm-up.

This is how any non swimmer / beginner should learn how to swim. It’s not about learning strokes it’s about confidence in deep water.

I am new to swimming as an adult (not quite a swimmer yet), and I can’t agree more with this statement! my greatest gains so far have come after learning to bob in deep water (from this vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9KXqr2l1Ly7oJs.html). this is finally the thing that gave me confidence in deep water. now I can work on my treading without all that fear lurking).

I think drown proofing is something that appears more difficult than it actually is. You just have to realize that being "tied up" is really no big deal and just sounds scary.

Wow! That’s a lot of things I need to practice. I tried bobbing today (before I had seen this) and was only able to sink by exhaling maybe 50% of my breath. I will try popping up higher next time. Traveling and flips will be fun to try also!

@dannymckenzie83294 жыл бұрын
Its quite literally child's play. Just listen to the water. Start by becoming fully submerged at least 10 feet under water and just float there unmoving, feel the way the water grabs you as you move through it, over time as you swim through the water your body and brain will pick up on what's interfering with your desired action, under water swimming isnt about speed at first, it's about learning how to use whatever leverage the water gives you, if you feel the water grab you it will drag you the opposite direction whichever part of you its touching. When you are motionless under water there are still small currents in the water all around you, but when you move it creates turbulence, pressure differentials. If something is aero dynamic that it must be hydrodynamic, let the water move you.

@@MrAdaCraft Fine to simulate it, but you should wait to be tied when you are in the Navy. Between BUDS prep, BUDS Orientation, and the week of practice you get prior to testing you get plenty of time to learn it.

How deep is this pool? I tried picking up my Atlantis mask from the strap with my teeth in an 11 foot deep pool and every time I kick off the upward pressure snaps it off from my mouth. I bite down hard but it happens every time. Is there a portion that is more suitable to grip to prevent this from happening? I think if I grip it from the part that touches your forehead it might be easier but it's harder to sink my teeth into than the strap.
@StewSmith1826 жыл бұрын
When you kick off the bottom put your chin to your chest and the back your head will take all the water resistance instead of your mask.
