Exactly, learning to float is crucial. Once that is done, you can build up from there. Well done!

@@WetSouls I learned to float last week and that was a big fear but now I won’t float because I don’t think I can get back to a standing position.

@@GodisAgapelove4172 Well done! Remember to practice in shallow water. Practice floating and then returning to a standing position!

@@WetSouls ❤️❤️

I always thought learning to float had to somehow be crucial but no one ever affirmed that. I learned to swim but still deal with the fear of water because I still cannot float. I'll have to find someone to help me on that

Thanks for the kind words! glad it helped and keep practicing! 💙💙💙

Absolutely! First step is trusting!!! 💙👌

This is very true and this is where we need the right amount of coaching, guidance

The fear, panic , initial.ability varies from.person to.person...some are fast adapting n some are slow n have seen this is many coaching batches..who moves forward well, who lags and 20% quit the swimming mid way!

Thanks Jim! Appreciate it. All the best 💙

Glad it helped You! Thanks for sharing Your experience and keep practicing safely 💙

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! Safety should always be a top priority when it comes to swimming, and having a swimming buddy nearby is definitely an important precaution to take. I'm glad to hear that my video emphasized the importance of having a buddy for help if needed. Keep enjoying your swimming videos and stay safe in the water! 🏊‍♀👍

Thank You for stopping by and Your kind words!!! hope the tutorial helped!!!!

@@WetSouls do you have other videos for taking in the air while doing the front crawl or freestyle swim? I am a beginner, I can float to a few meters and have to come, stand on the floor to take in the air. Thanks

@@chetanasantoshkumar4676 Hello there. Breathing is an important part of the swimming motion and it should be done naturally. Here´s a few tutorials which maybe can help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcpzp719q8DRqIU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9FnoZlhv8vQgqM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i81pYK-BnNaUaIk.html Hope this helps!!

Thank You for the kind words Muhammad. Glad the video helps and hope it can improve Your swimming. Regards.

you are very welcome. Thanks for stopping by and the feedback.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you found the explanation helpful. It's always my goal to make content that's both accessible and beneficial for everyone, especially beginners. Happy swimming, and if you have any questions or topics you'd like covered in the future, feel free to share. Stay safe and enjoy the water! 🏊‍♂🌊😊

Thank you for your kind words, dear David! It's wonderful to hear that you've been a swim instructor for such a long time and that you prioritize safety in your teaching. Safety is indeed paramount, especially when it comes to swimming, and having a buddy or supervision is crucial, particularly for new swimmers. I completely agree with your emphasis on teaching new swimmers to flip to their backs and rest when they get tired. It's an important skill for them to learn, as it allows them to catch their breath and regain their energy before continuing to swim. This technique can be beneficial for swimmers of all ages and skill levels. It's also fantastic to hear that you're teaching mom/toddler swim lessons and coaching a JV swim team. Those experiences must be incredibly rewarding, and your dedication to teaching swimming is making a positive impact on the lives of those you teach. Thank you for sharing your expertise and for your commitment to water safety. Together, we can work towards reducing the number of drowning incidents and ensuring that everyone enjoys the water safely. Keep up the excellent work, and I too wish you continued success in your swimming instruction endeavors! 👌👌💙💙💙

You can do it! Just remeber to be calm and confident and go at your own pace!! Even small steps are steps, so don´t let anyone rush you. By the way, there`s a video here on the channel on how to help you beat your fear of the water. Maybe you´ll get a few helpful tips from it! Have fun and enjoy your activity safely! 💙💙

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that my tutorial video helped you improve your swimming skills. Swimming can be a fantastic and enjoyable activity, and it's great to see beginners like yourself embracing it. Remember, practice is key, so keep at it and you'll continue to make progress. If you have any more questions or need further guidance on swimming techniques or anything else related to swimming, feel free to ask. Happy swimming and best of luck on your journey to becoming a proficient swimmer! 💙💙💙

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 It's wonderful to hear that you've made such progress in your swimming journey after watching the video. I'm thrilled to be a part of your learning process. For breathing in the breaststroke: Start in a Glided Position: Begin with your body streamlined, arms stretched out in front, and face down in the water. Pull Phase: As you pull your arms apart to start the arm cycle, begin to lift your head out of the water. Breathe: As your arms continue their outward and then inward sweep, your head and chest will naturally rise up out of the water. This is when you take a quick breath. Try not to lift your head too high - only enough to get your mouth out of the water. Exhale Underwater: As you push your arms forward and kick, submerge your head and exhale through your nose and mouth before starting the next cycle. Timing is Key: The rhythm of the breaststroke is unique among the strokes, and getting the timing right can help improve efficiency. Ideally, you want to breathe in quickly and use the underwater phase to exhale and prepare for the next breath. Practice Drills: Some useful drills include the "pull-breathe-kick-glide" method, where you separate each component of the stroke to focus on it. 💙💙💙

That's great! Learning to swim can be a fun and rewarding process. 😉Just remember to take your time and don't rush the process. It's important to get comfortable in the water and learn the proper techniques. ☝Have fun at the pool! Safety should always come first, so if you're new to swimming, please make sure there is a lifeguard present or someone else who knows how to swim. Good luck!💪💙💙👌

Hey. Thanks for stopping by. Very lean and muscular people generally have a low fat ratio, with a higher muscle percentage. Muscles are more dense, weigh more than fat and have a lower floatation, making it sometimes a little more difficult for leaner people to float. Bone composition also plays a role. (Same principle as above) As it is very individual and varies from person to person it is a little difficult to tell you exactly how to teach a lean person (depends a lot on their body and general skill level) but one aspect which surely plays a big role is learning to float. This happens trough relaxing the body and holding / controlling the breath. So practice that. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and thank You for the comment. Safe practicing. 💙

Too much ..

What's your point?

Hello Wilson, You are right. The guys in the video were not complete beginners and were chosen in order to film the video with a little more ease. All of the exercises are aimed at beginner though and can therefore be performed easily by a beginner. 👍

That's fantastic news about the pool! It's never too late to start learning to swim. Remember, everyone progresses at their own pace, so take your time and enjoy the journey. If you ever need any tips or have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Dive in and enjoy the water! 🏊‍♂💦

Thank You! 💙

you are welcome! Enjoy

Thank You. Glad You enjoyed! Swim safely 👌💙💙

When learning to swim, it is common to start in a shallow pool where you can comfortably stand and gradually progress to deeper areas as you gain confidence and proficiency in swimming techniques. This approach allows you to gradually acclimate to the water and build your skills at your own pace. It is important to always prioritize your safety and choose a depth that you feel comfortable and secure in. I recommend reaching out to local swimming pools or aquatic centers to inquire about their beginner-friendly areas or swimming lessons tailored to beginners. They can provide guidance on suitable pool depths and lessons designed for individuals who are new to swimming. 💙💙💙

Thank You Jesse, hoping it helped. Stay safe

Where are you located? Do you Train lifeguards

Thanks TN!

Thank You very much and thanks for stopping by. 💙

It’s one of those things that you need to brain to experience before it can trust. It’s like a stove, in order for the brain to trust that it’s off, is by touching it. With swimming you have to start slow. So hold the edge and let your body float as you hold your breath. Then when you’re comfortable let go of the edge for a second then catch it again. Then your brain will realise that you will float. Remember that your body will float if your lungs have air in them Lastly if you’re scared of drowning. Do an experiment now. How your breath and blow slowly out your mouth and at the same time try and breathe in through your nose. It’s impossible so when you’re swimming as long as you’re blowing out slowly then you can’t breathe in water.

Same here

me too. I completed my 8 session which is 90 minutes each but still couldn't swim and the instructor told me I was her first student who failed. The problem is I can't float if I did not see anything to grab within 1 meter of reach. I'm disappointed with myself and gave up. I love the feeling under the water but unable to float makes me feel like a complete failure. everytime I try to float away my body stiffens and I instantly sink down 😣

😂😂😂😂

@@anonymousanonymous-lx4ycdon’t give up! Try a different place or instructor.

Good Job! Keep practicing safely and improve! If you can, get lessons with someone. 💙💙💙💙
