Relaxing is essential. #1 rule in gymnastics - the body follows the head. If your head is down, the chest and butt go down. If the head is up or back, the chest and hips follow. Inhale, lay back, head looking up at the sky, chest up, pelvis flat, knees bent, feet hanging down. Raise your hands and arms behind your head to counter-balance your chest and lower body. Hands behind your head prevents hitting your head on the side of the pool. Breath slowly, large inhale and hold. To move, rotate your lower legs down and around the outside of your knees to a straight position. Like a circular butterfly motion. For added propulsion, flap the arms downward, and cycle back close to the body like lifting a box over your head.

I have been trying to learn to float for many years, but for some reason no matter what I do my body always sinks. The annoying part is that people think I do it on purpose but I don't. Could it be just a problem with body composition?

@danswimnyc Ай бұрын

Indeed ! It’s the body composition! I can’t float ether. My legs are sinking immediately. You gotta learn to propel in the water in order to stay afloat

@htchtc203 5 ай бұрын

What floating means exactly? Passive floating, with no arm/leg movement, maintaining body position? Or does floating include some active hand/leg movement too to maintain body position? I guess evey succesful floating event saw on the video is showing some leg movement. Now, guestion is, how to float in complete stand still?

@eschelar 23 күн бұрын

So I managed to achieve a stable position this evening at the pool. On my back. Legs relaxed and out, arms relaxed and out. My head and mouth are about 6 inches below the surface of the water. No part of me is above the surface of the water. Any ideas?

@danswimnyc 23 күн бұрын

Try to kick. Propulsion should help you to remain up close to the surface

@eschelar 22 күн бұрын

@@danswimnyc thanks. At the pool right now. Appreciate the response. I'm practicing getting comfortable fully submerged and just observing. I measured just now and in a stable back float, mouth to surface is 14 inches. I can stay there for about a minute before I need to breathe. I've also tried to tuck my chin and kick backwards for swimming on my back. Between breast stroke and free style, the best I can manage so far is to get the top of my headto poke out of the water about one inch. It quickly will turn into a doggy paddle, but the pace is exhausting. Todayvs goal was to work on kicks and noticed that I don't move forwards at all if I take my hands out of the equation and kick in either method. The kicks seem to help with propulsion when timed correctly, but I think you might be on to something. I will keep working on it. Thanks. Another 30 minutes of practice and I've smacked into the bottom of the pool three times. Once floating on my back, gently swimming, twice in breast stroke. Haha. I suck at this so much.
