That’s my favourite thing too 😌

@@TheSwimTeacher 3 to 4 minutes was my time underwater, but on land I did 8 minutes

No way that’s incredible well done 👍

@@TheSwimTeacher Underwater is where I feel at home, but there are instances when I need air before going back down

Of course! We all need air some time 😜

They could do this as soon as they are able to hold their breath for more than 20 seconds. This is mostly achieved from about age 3.5/4 years. How old is your child?

@@TheSwimTeacher I’m a swim coach of all ages. I wanted to try with me 2 year olds but I’ll just wait until they turn 3.5

Ah okay no worries! Good luck with it all

You are so welcome!

Thank you for your comment. I would stop putting water on his head and instead start to teach him to put his own face in the water. Start small with first closed lips, then nose then eyes. My little girl is 2 and this is what we practice with her. I will make a video for you this week and share so please keep checking 😀 I hope this helps

Hi thank you for your comment our bath is normally between 32-34 degrees. This I find is the most comfortable temperature for babies this age. Of course if you live in a warmer climate you could make the water cooler but I would stick to a minimum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. I hope this helps

I started teaching waterbaby classes one year ago. Im still learning! Your videos are terrific.

Aw thank you so much so lovely to hear!

Oh no! This happened to my eldest he decided he was done listening for a whole year then he turned 4 and all of sudden has come back round. Sometimes you just have to give it time.

Perfect!

That’s great to hear! Keep going swimming is the best sport around!

Great idea! I shall definitely look into this for her bday 😜

Haha thanks 🙏 I loved making this video back in lock down times

Thank you I’m so glad you found it helpful

Haha yeah I thought I would use the biggest I had in my cupboard 😝

I think?

Yes that’s correct you blow the bubbles In the water through your nose. If you need anymore tips please let me know x

Hmm a lady never shares her age 😂 how old do you think I look?

As that’s so lovely to hear thank you for watching

Hi yes I will be revisiting this in the new year thanks again for watching

In the new year I will be uploading all the new content

@@TheSwimTeacher thank you! I am very eager to learn from you! It has been very helpful.

That is a great job!!

he really is thank you for watching!!

Thank you for watching so glad you are going to try the techniques. These can of course be adapted for older children. How old are your older kids?

@TheSwimTeacher my daughter, has advanced drastically within days. My 7yr old can hold his breath under water for 15 seconds, but isn't confident in learning how to swim. I'm just trying to find techniques and ways for him to get comfortable enough to learn the basics. Baby still just wants to have fun, too much laughing to hold her breath 🤣, but I will keep trying.

wow this is amazing to hear!! I am so glad this video is helping.@@phattmamaskitchen

Hi thank you so much for your sweet comment I really appreciate you taking the time to watch this video

Hi thank you for your comment. I don’t unfortunately teach ISR. Hope you enjoy the videos 😀

Thank you for watching and for your comment. I would say to practice until your little one closes their eyes and mouth on the word go then you know they are ready to be taken under water. Usually it takes 6 weeks but all children are different so take your cues from your little one. Good luck 🤞

Thank you so much for watching and commenting I’m glad I could help

Hi thank you for watching and commenting. What do you mean by trappen? I’m not familiar with the word

Hi thank you for watching and for commenting please watch my latest video and see the conditioning part as this is what can be used to help two year olds. Good luck 🤞

Thank you so much 😊

Thanks for watching

Hi apologies for the late reply. So the best thing you can do for your little one is to just repeat repeat repeat, and make it a fun game. When my toddler didn’t want to kick I would try to pretend that I didn’t want him slashing me in the face with water from his feet. I made a big thing about it. So he kicked so much in order to splash me. I also like to do races which is also a way to encourage them to kick in order to beat you. Also plenty of praise when they do kick. Good luck I hope this helps

No problem at all hope it all goes well 😊

Thank you for watching

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you so lucky I do try my best 😊

Sure no problem I hope you enjoy the videos and if you have any questions please feel free to let me know

Great question 🙋‍♀️ I will get to making them. I moved countries after this video was made and had a baby so I completely forgot to complete the series. Please stay tuned for the other videos

So I would definitely recommend goggles… or are you wearing goggles when you say you can’t open your eyes already? Let me know and I can send some tips

Thank you so much that is super sweet of you to say😊

Hi thanks for your comment. That is a really god question. So when they are holding their breathe, even when the mouth is open a type of air lock bubble occurs in the mouth which stops water going in. The moment they try to inhale or exhale this then pops. Try to hold your breath with your mouth closed then whilst holding your breathe try to open and close your mouth. You will see what your child experiences with their mouth open😊

@@TheSwimTeacher is there any video to teach breath in this years old?

@@user-gh8sw8od8x hi thank you for taking the time to watch my video. At this age you can still work on breath control with conditioning or even try to ask them to follow instructions like close your mouth etc. How old is your child exactly?
