The first step is to lose the fear of water. I've noticed that what mostly keeps some people from learning how to swim is their fear of drowing. They'd have to learn to trust whoever is teaching them that if anything wrong were to happen, they would help them. If they are learning on their own, they should practice in a shallow area first and trust their own legs to touch the groung if they were to start sinking. In all, they should learn to feel comfortable in the water first 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm a Navy Veteran and this was such an essential part of our training. Well done.

Easiest method we had in the Marines was tilt head back, use chest and stomach to float yourself and lightly shuffle your legs and arms back and forth. I stayed like that for Hours upon Hours with steel toe boots, and full Utilities on. Love the Vid, very nicely explained.

People who upload videos to share knowledge and lessons for free are saints

As someone who has never been able to tread water, this is soooo valuable to me! Thank you so much for sharing!

This video saved my life at a pool party. I was so panicked I had flashbacks and this was literally one of them. Before I knew it instinct kicked in and I swam to the edge. After my 30 adrenaline crash nap I did it again and actually enjoyed it 😅

I recall my 1st time to float while on pool. It was 8ft and i'm so young.. I envied my cousin when I saw him floating, then that time I tried it. Jumped in to the deep pool and that was amazing, i feel very confident.

The way this is explained and presented is just awesome. Can't think of it being done any more clearer than this

As someone who has almost drowned on multiple occasions, i find this quite helpful, even though im an excellent swimmer. I have no fear of water but a very healthy respect if it, even a good swimmer can far too easily get in a situation that ends in tragedy. Ive done at least 1 swim where if i didnt know how to stop and rest during, i could very well not have made it to the other side. Stay safe in the water people, wear your life jackets, water is fun like campfires, but you gotta be careful.

This is so useful! I go in the sea every summer and I didn't know the egg beater kick. Gonna try this out in the pool to improve my technique. Thank you for making it so clear and easy to follow.

I learned to swim naturally in the pool and whenever my friends ask me to teach them I can only verbally tell them what to do, this video is just the right thing for visuals.

I love how this was shown. Detail and information was well delivered 👏

That's so good and well explained along with the actual demos. Thanks!

I learned a lot watching vids like these even tho i can't swim i always have confidence in learning and doing what i learned so I'm ready to go in...

This is really helpful to those who never learn swimming or wanna improve it after learning without a formal teacher so things never explain clearly simply observe and imitate.

I remember that my cousin somehow taught me how to swim when I was 4 years old (she was only one year older) it felt so empowering to finally be able to swim and not sink down I loved being in water ever since 🤿my favorite sports are snorkeling and free diving now

This is the best explanation showed I see so far many videos gone trough.

I am going to show this to my kids. They are learning and doing well, but this is a great explanation

0:25 It makes so much sense! It's kind of the same concept as floating like a ball, because if your body is tucked it will be easier to float

My way of staying vertically float is by 1- start swimming normally 2nd - slowly let yourself vertically while doing the same horizontal swimming technique.

I don’t know why this was recommended to me, but I’m sure I’ll take this knowledge with me forever. Thank you for making this video and thank you youtube algorithm for bringing me here 🙏

This tutor is very easy to understand especially for me

Great camera work.

OMG, this is the best video out there that has helped me scull immediately after seeing this. I always had been the one person who drows as soon as I hit the water. Can do freestyle, breaststroke easily, but when it came to sculling, no other video helped. The two things that most of the other videos fails to mention: Head tilt back and chair position. First try, and I was able to scull effortlessly with this position. Controlling the breathing a little, and my nose can be indefinitely be over the surface to breathe, and tread water until my legs and arms give up. Now need to improve my endurance.

This is actually really useful, I never figured out why I couldn’t tread water till now 😅

I never realized my tread was intermediate. I always found it easier than the beginner style. That "sit on a chair" visual is helpful. I'll have to try that out.

These are actualy great tips. Great video!

It's very helpful for biginers 👍 How nicely you explain everything 👏

As long as you have air in your lungs you will float. Lay on your back and spread your limbs to maximize surface area. Breathe slowly to keep your head above water when exhaling.

I do feel like this is something useful they should teach in school along with cpr classes. The best thing I know I can do is lie back and relax at the surface of the water.

Now this video is perfect to learn from. Good video angle. Nice tips. Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you for the tutorial. This video is helpful to newbie swimmers.

I can't swim, and this just motivated me to learn right away!

Wow. Thanks for this. I really want to learn how to swim and float.

Whatever works best for you. Don’t even mind the labels placed on each idle swim style. If it works for you then that’s your style, there’s no need to change what you’re comfortable with just because it’s labeled as “advanced” don’t die trying to be cool.

Thank you for the wonderful tip. love from malabon 💙

Didn't know that was called the eggbeater kick nor did I know that it was advanced. It's just what I've always done naturally. I never was properly taught how to swim. I just got thrown into a pool and told to not let myself drown when I was like 4. I know how to swim now though so I guess it worked.

Good stuff, thank you - although after seeing the thumbnail for your video I now have a song from Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album stuck in my head. 🙂

Woooooow excellent video!!! Love the visual examples

Thank You , from Malaysian.

As a competitive swimmer, someone who's been swimming their whole life ifk why people find the advanced option to be the best. The advanced option is the most tiring and most awkward movement. The other two are so easy and relaxing, could do them for hours.

Very wonderful video sir.. Thank you so much🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏

Great video!

I didnt know the eggbeaterkick was more effective. I always did the easiest. Will try it. Thank you

As someone who's always been surrounded by water since basically birth. It amazes me how some just truly dont know the basics of swimming. No judgment. Ive just been in water since a literal baby and its all second nature to me. Just amazes me.

I remember for life guard training having to jump off the diving board and keep your head out of water the entire time. Basically tredding as soon as your toes hit, then tredding for another 30 minutes no hands. Intense.

I just love the sound of water :)

She looks amazing doing those different types of swimming moves I like her moves called frog kick , eggbeater kick and sitting position looks really good in the swimming pool

this is so nice thank you. Time to try it

Coach, I learn to swim by myself and didn't knew that advanced position was the one that put me balance lol

I always thought this came naturally and never understood how anyone could drown outside of pure exhaustion. As far back as I could remember, I could float, swim and anytime I fell into water inadvertently, I automatically treaded with zero panic or afterthought aside from if the water was cold af. Turns out my mother, who was an alternate Olympic swimmer, exposed me to deep water as a baby and I just cant remember it. So it helps to start early and apparently, a babies body the way its built, especially the legs, will kick naturally in an egg beater and frog pattern due to the baby fat.

Im using the advanced technique and was going to a swimng pool many years but usually theres no a big reason to stay moveless in the water and also that spends pretty much of energy. The easiest way to stay at the surface and to not spend much energy is slowly swimming on your back without lifting hands or on chest like a frog (dont know the style name in english) without diving with head.

Wow such a great video You should name it as "learn swimming in 2 minutes"

Thanks you really helped me and actually swimming is my fear

Really good practice thank you

So useful thanks a lot

These idle animations look nice

Thank you very much

Very good video!

Thank You Very Much

Lady you are such a great swimmer so does men

The panic I had when caught in a rip tide and desperately trying to tread and come back to shallow water while trying to breath as small but continues waves crash on my nostrils. But I knew how to float and tread...on a different sea that had big but long wave intervals. I guess it's easier to treat every new body of water I'm in as the first time (whether by sea or a pool)

I never thought you have to learn this. That kinda comes up naturaly like walking.

Can u post ..how to survive and stand in moving water flow (river) everytime I jump ..it take me to paradise vice versa

If you let all your oxygen out you will sink. Don’t be afraid to get in the water with the fear of drowning, you won’t drown unless you know the basics of swimming, and it’s quite simple. My first day of swim class I was scared to get in the 12ft water. I knew the only way to face my fear was to deal with it so I jumped in. Few days of practice I became much more confident and my fear of swimming turned into a passion.

Great vid

Thank you so much❤ Nice pool by the way. Got any water polo friends ,over there?

That was awesome!!!!

It's weird I learned how to swim at a summer camp yet this is the first time I actually "Learned" about swimming

I can swim, but i cant float so this is a really good random video to pop up on my feed

After countless lessons I had become convinced I'm just too thin to float, maybe I was just using the wrong technique

My parents paid like $1000 for my swimming lessons as a kid and i still sunk like a brick in water until age 20 now watching a short youtube video...lol thanks

I think that, on a quiet water surface, it is also possible to simply lay on the back and float 🤔

Ohhhhh to be buoyant.... The great gift of life

Beneficial. Im learning right now

Where did you learn that ? CJ grove street swimming classes

Finally someone that doesn't just told me to "simply do what I did"

I will try this !

And then there is my technique. Take a deep breath, wait 3 seconds for the oxygen to be absorbed by your lungs, exhale all the air you have in your lungs and enjoy slowly sinking to the bottom. You'll likely only have about 20 seconds inside the water, so plan out your course accordingly.

I kinda did. the eggbeater since I can remember being in water it’s also one of the few positions where you can stay on top of the water without hands

oh ok, nice vid. this helps me a lot cuz im not good at floating in water but i can swim. idk if i said it right lmao

Which technique is the best to conserve energy in the ocean?

I didn't know the things I do in the water had names. Sculling. Eggbeater kick. Neat.

After watching this I noticed how many things I do while I tread water that I never noticed. I've taught myself well 😅

Also, in wavey water, face the shoreline/away from the waves. Seems obvious but I’ve seen a lot of swimmers go from normal to drowning from taking a face of water.

I'm getting cramps watching this.

How?? I could and have swim and dive, but I could never float upright. Whenever I try to, my upper torso is so bouyant that I end up floating on my back if I lean back a bit, or face submerged in the water with the back of my head to the sun or if I lean a little forward.

Advanced: Eggbeater kick Intermediate: Frog kick Me: Panic kick Additionally, my swimming style is called Rock formation.

*Nice Information 😍❤️*

I won a treading competition when I was a kid. I treaded for like, an hour and 10 mins straight

I finally achieved the nirvana album position

Outstanding

Thank's for sharing 👍

Lady genius 👌👌😊😊

Very cool and good 👍🏿

Treading water with either hand or legs only, what level ?

Lmao I didn't know that eggbeater kick is an actual technique. It was what I come up with when i cannot support my fatass while swimming in the deep pool, I basically learned that technique from my survival instinct. But man it was tiring as hell because if you could see clearly it requires you to move faster than any other technique, but it floats you the best way

2 minutes well spent 😊

The hardest thing I had to do in a pool was treading water for over 1 hour without using my feet.

There’s levels above advanced in water polo you have to be able to beater. Well hands and elbows above the water at practice
