We are back in another swimming session to help Harry. In our last session, Harry amazingly managed to go under water, and even paddle a width of this pool. Today, we’re going to see if we can help Harry to swim the length of this pool.

What more tips have you got for Harry? 🏊

@user-ng3rf7wz1d 20 күн бұрын

Just keep at it, mate. Trust the process, appreciate the progress you make.

I can already predict all the comments commending Harry for doing what he is doing, and rightly so! But can I also give a shout out to Mark here.... I wish I had an instructor as good as him. Well done, guys. This is awesome.

Both smashing the challenge! 👌

Love the methodical and incremental way Mark is presenting the various aspects of swimming, building it brick by brick. And huge props to Harry of course. The drop in his anxiety levels from episode 1 was very obvious. Way to go Harry!

Superb, I bet Harry couldn't have conceived of being in a pool trying to swim down to the bottom to do a handstand underwater back in the day. Such good achievements every time.

@SamThompson-zy5iw 24 күн бұрын

Amazing progress in just 2 sessions, Harry was clearly more relaxed in this one which must feel like a big step for him. Mark is also a great instructor, breaking it down in small steps, keep it up Harry, looking forward to the next video!

Harry is smashing it 💥 Any tips for him?

@SamThompson-zy5iw 22 күн бұрын

Get in the water at least a couple of times a week, consistent practice of all the new things he is learning will make a big difference to his confidence and skill level. Stay in a pool where he can touch the bottom with his feet if swimming alone though.

Amazing! The calmness from this session compared to the first! You can see he’s ready to swim now whereas before it was a mental battle to get in the water! We’ll make a fish out of him yet!

@robinharrischapman9802 24 күн бұрын

Awesome! I had to go through this myself a few years ago when I wanted to start doing tri. I found starting with a front mount snorkel to figure out the stroke first helped a ton. Then after getting stroke down with it I slowly learned to breath without it.

Loving this series! I feel so fortunate that I was taught to swim as a young child, it’s so much harder as an adult. However, Harry is doing brilliantly!

It can be a very intimidating thing to do! Harry is smashing it 🙌

@SBoots29 19 күн бұрын

A patient and knowledgeable instructor Mark is. Making it fun for Harry to learn is the way to go. Soon Harry can work on little details to improve more. Just to conquer the anxiety is something I still struggle with but I am getting better. I know now what triggers it and how to calm and settle down. I like Harry have a long way to go and much to learn. Cheers to you both.

Way to go Harry and Mark! I'm inspired to pursue adult swimming lessons...something that I've been a bit embarrassed about but realize there is no shame.

Amazing progress by Harry, and as well amazing coaching by Mark. It is one thing to be able to explain the drills, it is much more difficult to make it understandable and accessible to someone. Helping overcome the fear of water is an achievement in itself.

Very impressive! And even though I learned breast stroke as a little kid, with that video I feel kind of seen with my struggles to swim freestyle once I tried to teach it myself about a year ago.

I can swim but I'm not a strong swimmer. Would love to do adult lessons one day and get stronger. and maybe do a tri one day. Hoping next year to attempt my first Duathlon. Well done to him.

The way to revolutionise teaching new swimmers is to get them straight on the centre snorkel. Unfortunately that will never happen in mass though, I believe due to snorkels not being a shareable item and the outright cost. The body possition (head down, bum up, correct kick) is therefore taught before the breathing. Freestyle kick with the kickboard and the head up and not using a snorkel is mistake taught all the way up into the advanced ranks. I'm not talking about trying to learn the arms and breathing. Just the completive kick should be done with a snorkel for natural freestyle possition.

Hey, I was wondering about starting swimming, from someone who swam as a kid, hasn’t got trauma and has done some occasional swimming since. I used to swim a lot as a kid until teen. But came out as transgender in my late teens. Swimming became terrifying and embarrassing (it is honestly terrifying existing especially early in transition) so I stopped. Until last year I was running 30km 5* week and cycling 80km a day for work. Had a bowel perforation followed by a broke. Collarbone (and snapped bike) this year sk have had little to no exercise for 6months including 2 months in a hospital bed. My fitness recovery plan is to do a triathlon next year!

I’ve never known how to swim but harry is giving me the confidence to move on I’ll try these strategies but one question how do you get your feet of the ground without being scared of sinking ?

@gtn 21 күн бұрын

Try using lots of floats and maybe take a swimming buddy with you, having a friend can really boost your confidence

@alexanderpov8371 19 күн бұрын

Thanks this helped now I can get my feet of the ground without fear but when I start swimming I don’t now how to move my hands I will try the technique harry used in this video

@alexanderpov8371 17 күн бұрын

Do you have any tips to how to get rid of the kick board and get confidence by yourself
