the easiest is the bicycle kick but it's not good. the one i do when I'm in a relatively shallow pool is I simply go down and jump off the floor and take a breath on the surface, it's not tiring and also fun to do.

I've been learning as a new swimmer off and on during the various lockdowns and I can tread water for 3 minutes now! So proud of myself, especially as I've almost drowned multiple times in my life and had a fear of being out of my depth. I figure of 8 with my hands and vertical breast stroke with my feet. Could never coordinate with that last foot action, but I'll give it a try now that I'm better at it. I've also realised that when I go slow and don't panic, just feel the water supporting you, you use a lot less energy and can breathe almost normally, even as an asthmatic. Thanks for the tips.

Hi Average Joe. Are you on Facebook and Instagram? I would like to follow you. I really could use to ask for support in becoming a better swimmer. I would like to participate more in triathlons. Thank you in advance. How can I find you? Under what names please?

@@peacelovejoyandhappiness Hi, yes I am on Facebook. FB.com/myswimtopia

Im trying it out tomorrow can’t wait

same

I know how to swim but it’s very inefficient so I’m just trying to fix that

My pool only goes to 4 feet

@@REVLZM my one goes 5’6

theres a lake we visit that goes like ultra deep in the center so this should be fun

Back stroke😂

Very true. Make a star shape with your arms and legs outstretched to float on back.

Glad it works for you.

Omg I was the same and this was so helpful

wowww

I can't swim but when I have goggles I can

@@OVOXO1234561 lol

Thank you so much

You definitely watched that news report about a pig named Cris

Thanks. Good luck

Congratulations on learning how to swim and overcoming your fear.

@@flavia5410 Thank you 👍

Dense same. Well I may not be 38 but I can't swim. I've been trying to learn how to swim for years I even had taken a swimming class but no luck. I hope this year we both will learn how to swim

You've got this

@@Daniel-vn6zr Ohhh we got this!❤️

@@MG-Raiden ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you 🥰

Its okk ......just try day by day .....you will know how to swim

Deep water is so scary lol. I always imagine running out of energy and drowning.

Used to have nightmares of it happening when I was a kid.

Thanks for the kind words

Your welcome

You can do it! Someday you will, same way you over came. Same thing happened to me, and I am learning while I am over forty years old.

Same happened with me in childhood when my friend saved me from drowning in his pool. But that was because of my stupidity to dive into a pool with open mouth underwater and then panicking, drinking water. Now I'm 40, went to a lake's beach end, relaxed and floated suddenly, pushed myself forward and viola....learnt swimming on my own. Swam underwater in shallow waters for a good distance. All through I just stayed very calm and relaxed. Treading in deep water is something that excites me more but I will take it one step at a time. Make sure to have at least 1-2 swimmers with you and take all necessary safety precautions in advance.

Same thing happened to me when I was little but I recently got into swimming. I hope I'll get better at it like you have! Your comment gives me hope

@@naniidoodles you can do it! I did it at almost 60. Since my comment I managed to practice almost everyday, improving both styles and can tread water in deep end now. I’ve also lost fat and gained muscle.

Safety first. Make sure everyone in the family knows how to swim since you got a pool in the house

You are so welcome! Glad you like it!

She is not so little now 😂

Good job

nice

what style do you do

how teach me sempai. Does it come with time or is it just technique? Or is is breathe control that's most important? My experience swimming below. I know how to swim, but I'm not super confident in my skill at the beach yet. Today I lost my breathe control after a wave hit me and my feet couldn't touch the ground, I tried to tread water but my strength seemed to fail me and my breathe grew even more erratic, I had to retreat by swimming back to shore before I lost all strength and drowned. I think it was the fact that I had been swimming without breathing that led me to panic. I was short on breathe and that led to me sinking, I also felt weaker because it was just post a swim without oxygen which exhausted my muscles. I took a break at the shore, then once the air had gotten to my muscles, I returned to the water with a focus on breathe and didn't hyperventilate again. But still. I can't imagine treading water for hours. Maybe in calm water. Lessons: When swimming , breathe constantly, just as if you were still on water. Don't try and tread water when your muscles feel fatigued. Don't try and tread water when you are hyperventilating and struggle to intake oxygen.

Thanks and good luck
