LMAO I LEARNED SWIMMING NOW...anyway no need to call me that, it's a bit unnecessary. You may not have had the best experiences that I have in my childhood.
+Дамиано Рейес Under water, you hum like an "mmmm" sound and bubbles should come out from your nose. You can hold the edge of the swimming pool like on the floor thingie, and put your face down and kicking slowly.
Just a tip for anyone watching this I had that fear only a few weeks ago and it took me about 1 hour and a half to get over the fear just gently go downwards in the water so your nose gets under and just get lower and lower and then when you feel confident just dip in quickly that's how I did it
What I wanna learn is how to relax in the water so u can float because when I try I freak out and my dad says it’s because I’m not relaxing but it’s hard because I’m sinking and I freak out. How do I do it? Does anybody have advice?
I'm not a strong swimmer, but I can do basic stuff. Once you learn how to put your head underwater, take a deep breath. Make sure when you do the deep breath that you can't sniff. Put your face underwater, and let your body control it self. If your having trouble relaxing, try shutting your eyes (with goggles on for beginners). When you feel like your running out of breath, go up to the surface. Make sure you practice in the shallow end until your confident. I hope I helped in any way :) If you have any questions or need more help, please ask me, I'm happy to help! :D
@@hxney-tae4459 really thanks for the advice but I may not be able to do this cause my swimming coach always out me to the deep I can't practice in the shallow
yeah sure i do provide a private swimming session to people and what i do is , to feel relax you need to control you breath first , take a big breath and do 5 second bubbles inside the water , however once you feel comfortable go to the nest step , and make sure you put you goggle on , so try to fly as airplane , keep your legs down into pool ground and jump a small one, a little push and let the water rise you up by making bubbles from your mouth....remember to relax your hands and body as well don`t stress them to be lighter , then try to kick with your legs to keep the legs near to the water surface, be gentle don't be rush or panic , keep in mind its all about relaxation and having fun ..then will start on tiger style to move our hand inside the water and to keep move them as a tiger especially once we rise our head above the water surface to catch the breath and to make bubbles again ... those tips could really help for any body
Learn to do a starfish on your back. If you keep from bending at the hips and keep having you head in a neutral inline with shoulders it is easier to float on top of the water. Never let feet/legs or hips sink. Keep head from going up. Keep eyes to the ceiling. Imagine a string from belly button up to ceiling.
I actually got over the fear of deep water. I used to be afraid of deep water because of this childhood experience. When it was my birthday, (I was turning 10) we went to the pool to celebrate it. (Fairland Aquatics Center) I took this test, the test included jumping into 6 feet, Treading water Or Floating for one minute, and swimming to the end of 6 feet to get this green wristband. This wristband would indicate that you are able to go in any feet you’d like. You also had to tell the staff your name so you could be written in this book (Incase you lost the wristband). So, some of my friends and me decided to try this test. My friend went first, and she passed. My other friends went in but came right back out because they said they couldn’t do it. I had entered the water, but I didn’t jump in. I said no the first time but after eating cake and food, I decided to try it. I jumped in, and I instantly started to struggle, I bounced up to the surface of the water and went right back down. This occurred for about 30 seconds. (It felt like 5 mins for me). After struggling for what felt like 5 minutes the lifeguard finally decided helped me up using this stick. (shitty ass service 😤) When I got out my head was hurting and I felt super dizzy. My grandma rushed towards me and asked me what happened. I simply just said to her, ”Nothing.” I brushed it off, and continued swimming and having fun with my friends like nothing happened. Ever since this happened, I’ve been afraid of deep water since. But when I got older I decided to face my fears, I started to learn how to tread water by searching up techniques on RUclips. As I practiced in fair water (4 feet 10) I started to get better and better at treading water. I finally went to 6 feet and started treading water there as well. (I also jumped into 6 feet!) & now, here I am, diving into 13 feet. 💕
Exactly what I mean, the instructor told me to let go of the edge and I'll float back up, but I refused. Because if I sink, they won't help me until it's too late
I REALLY want to learn how to swim. I don't have a problem with going under or anything. But the feeling of my legs not touching the floor scares me. I'm 13 and at my age, EVERYONE in my class can swim perfectly well for their age. I was actually super close to learning how to swim one year but then they cancelled swimming lessons so I went back to square one. :(
Hey man! Being scared will not help your case. If your worrying about drowning, don’t because 1. It won’t help relieve the fear and 2. Your not going to drown. There are people all around you that will assist you if you are falling. Just try to calm down and be happy about getting in the pool. Don’t look negatively. Be happy and know you are lucky with what you have. :)
The only reason I'm scared of swimming in deeper pools is because I feel like the water is just pulling me down and the deeper the pool is the darker it gets.
my fear of going into the water started when i was really young i was going down a pipe with my dad when we reached the bottom i fell out of his hands and just sank to the bottom of the pool i was sitting there everything was blurry couldnt breathe and then my dad came and thankfully im still alive jesus im getting tears over talking about it what happened was just so horrable so whenever someone invites me to a water park i say no they ask why i yell NO! i still dont know how to swim im 11 right now and i bet i need to know how to swim in the future and im not gonna get a swimming trainer since i have had bad experiences at school too since our teacher forced us to go underwater i didnt and when we did a test i failed and got an F
SneezingPanda mine was when I was at the beach I was with my sister and then I got splashed by a wave a giant one and I was drinking the nasty water while under water and I was crying after all of that I've. Been afraid of water ever since also
At my school every beginning of the year you have to swim cause there's this swimming carnival thing I always find a excuse so I don't have to swim , I just can't swim once I have to swim on my back and I nearly drowned. I'm so scared for this year swimming carnival
I have a fear of water and I want to overcome it but I only get to swim 2 days out of the year, the way I do it is I set mini goals for myself, so about 3 years ago I set the goal to get my face in the water, then 2 years ago I wanted to go under so I plugged my nose and just bobbed my head until I felt comfortable going all the way, then this past year I set the goal to go under without plugging my nose and it’s hard mentally to get through the barriers, but if you work at it and really want it it feels really good, also if you have any friends who can swim that you really trust, ask them to come to the pool with you to give you some encouragement, I had my family with me when I was learning
My fear of swimming AT ALL started when I even heard what swimming was. I had swimming lessons at school, but they didn't help. I know how to put my face in for like a second, but I'm paranoid about going in the water. I do kind of doggy paddle at the beach, but I always end up feeling left out. I want to learn to swim though.
1:51. From a psychological perspective the coach shouldn’t say it’s difficult to fully submerge, because the student’s mind is so sensitive at the moment and “first impression” should be positive
I can go under water perfectly but I’m just too scared to float because I just can’t let the water take control, I feel like if I give in to the water by floating I will just drown.
Here's some help. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I can do basic stuff. Once you learn how to put your head underwater, take a deep breath. Make sure when you do the deep breath that you can't sniff.

Well When I was Little I Wasnt afrad Of Swimming, But That Day I Was Swimming My Brother Pushed Me Into The deep Swimming Pool.... Yea.... Thats What Makes Me Trauma. I Almost Drowned... And Now I Always Get F If Im In Swimming Class😓
Ok listen the part im scared about is when it gets in my ears like when i try to go under and some gets in my ears i instantly panic and rise back up please someone help me i really want to swim under water
Omg I feel like I'm the only one all my friends can swim and I'm 14 and I act like a baby and scream if even a tiny but goes in my ears it's the only thing stopping me from swimming cos I'm not scared of anything else and stupid earplugs don't even keep the water out any help??
Sidra ok this is me a year later, to help with the ear problem I did water training by myself my slowing holding my nose and dunking my full head under letting it slowing get in my ears. Then I got used to it in a day. Now I still don’t like it going up my nose so I invested in a swimmers nose plug to help and goggles now I’m good to go! Hope this helped.
I feel the same in my first clases at the age of eleven the instructor told the group we must to jump to get in the pool, I drink a lot of water, a girl try to help me, give me your hand but she can't do nothing, finaly I stand UP, yes I'm drownnig in only 4 feets, it was only a few seconds, but look like hours to me. For many years I was afraid of the water but at the age of 35 years I learn to swim
Never really knew why you have to learn by swimming lengths with your face down in the water, especially at a time when you are most afraid of it because you are learning, I didn't learn to swim til later in life because this face down in the water put the fear into me as a young kid, my daughter is about to be removed from her school swimming lessons because she wont do this technique, is there an actual reasoning behind this other than forcing people to "face" a fear and get over it? thanks for any info

I scared of swimming pool because I think of negative thoughts ok all my life even I have disabilities& my big sister try teach me how to swim but I gave up I want 🏊 without thinking with Angels wings& 😇 then could be easy for me
I have been swimming since I was three, yet as used to the water as I am, I cannot put my face under the water without googles. If I do I panic, inhale water and shoot up to the surface. I am worried about this problem as I am applying to become a lifeguard and will need this skill when I won’t always have goggles with me like in swimming.
After an incident at a swimming school when I was a kid I have been petrified of trying to swim. I won't be getting over my contempt for the 'school' that it happened at, but I do want to try and beat back this phobia and learn to swim. Anyone got any tips aside from these?
But this doesn't help...I'm just terrified of breathing in water when I try and take a breath...is there anything you can suggest that you think will help..I'm couldn't bring myself to have water in my mouth at all...
6-5 months ago in my 2nd lesson, i was trying to back float and i slipped and i nearly drowned. Good thing: im still alive Bad thing: i was deaf after but now im not And even if i wanted to properly swim, i still cant cause it doesnt show you how to swim so im still terrified and worried cause next year im doing swimming again for 8 weeks.

I has the worst experience of my life today! I couldn't breathe properly like I would in "life" than in the water. Just one question, how to you not let water ho in your ears? I there some way without involving buying anything?
This is my fear: Im learning freestyle right now and there are stairs in every end of the pool (English lmao) and then the stair on the deep side is where I learned most of my moves...my fear is when I look down the water while freestyling I get scared abd just struggle to move my arms and legs. Thats because I had bad memories on my 1st day....Water came through my nose and my mouth while I was doing bubbles...I cried and my mom and I talked about this...(Still in the pool) my mom just keeps saying to me that Its normal...then I just let all my anger out...I regret that after the swimming...but I still remember it today
I am afraid of swimming because , when I went to a water park I fell off donut thing when we landed in the water and I didn't know how to swim, I still don't but a ya anyways I feel under the water no one helped me I was drowning. Everyone just watched me and I managed to come from under the water and I found a wall I had a good grip on it but it was flat, I don't know I managed but it was God. Anyways I have a swimming lessons on Monday and I'm afraid please help !?!?!??!?!?!
Tell all this to instructor and ask for help, is too mucho important to try once and once more, you most go to the first and most important, to the seconds class and keep goin, you can, good look
I am 11 years old still don’t know how to swim I’m scared of drowning and my friends and family say that they won’t let me drown but it’s not that easy they don’t understand I tried swimming but when I needed to kick my legs I was crying I read some comments to this video and you guys are the ones who get me we are the ones with the fear people say oh you won’t drown I got you but they don’t understand us I hate that I don’t know how to swim it was also embarrassing because I also went to a field trip and it was to the pool I had to wear a life jacket and I only stayed at the stairs😔😖😭😭
It was the same feeling for my, and my family, un les and cousins trying to teach me, but me, only watchin how they swim, the good news, I learn, confíde in someone, open your hart you can do it
that's cool but about the breaststrock its not that easy indeed for the beginner to start doingit without knowledge and practicing , thy need to be aware of the legs kicking first such as a frog they need to practice on it then the hand then how to rise the head up each one has a tips to follow
The only reason I’m watching this, I was in Spain once, my mom was blowing up my rubber ring, and I slipped and I was underwater, I started drowning and there was no lifeguard, however, my mom used to be a lifeguard so I was okay.
This video makes it seem so easy. It's obvious the person in this video is not afraid of the water, but only for demonstration.
LMAO I LEARNED SWIMMING NOW...anyway no need to call me that, it's a bit unnecessary. You may not have had the best experiences that I have in my childhood.

Learn to do a starfish on your back.
If you keep from bending at the hips and keep having you head in a neutral inline with shoulders it is easier to float on top of the water. Never let feet/legs or hips sink. Keep head from going up. Keep eyes to the ceiling. Imagine a string from belly button up to ceiling.

Omg. I did the same thing a few months ago and I couldn't do it
6-5 months ago in my 2nd lesson, i was trying to back float and i slipped and i nearly drowned.
Good thing: im still alive
Bad thing: i was deaf after but now im not
And even if i wanted to properly swim, i still cant cause it doesnt show you how to swim so im still terrified and worried cause next year im doing swimming again for 8 weeks.
Here's some tips; I'm not a strong swimmer, but I can do basic stuff. Once you learn how to put your head underwater, take a deep breath. Make sure when you do the deep breath that you can't sniff. Put your face underwater, and let your body control it self. If your having trouble relaxing, try shutting your eyes (with goggles on for beginners). When you feel like your running out of breath, go up to the surface. Make sure you practice in the shallow end until your confident.
I hope I helped in any way :)
If you have any questions or need more help, please ask me, I'm happy to help! :D
Exactly what I'm worried about
Thank you for this video has really helped me
I has the worst experience of my life today! I couldn't breathe properly like I would in "life" than in the water. Just one question, how to you not let water ho in your ears? I there some way without involving buying anything?
+AwkwardChloe mam u can buy earplugs
Chloe Lau i go in the pool all the times the water is going in my ears all the time put you need to deal with it 😉😉
Sze Lok Lau Just get a swimming hat and cover your ears and head with it.
This is my fear:
Im learning freestyle right now and there are stairs in every end of the pool (English lmao) and then the stair on the deep side is where I learned most of my moves...my fear is when I look down the water while freestyling I get scared abd just struggle to move my arms and legs. Thats because I had bad memories on my 1st day....Water came through my nose and my mouth while I was doing bubbles...I cried and my mom and I talked about this...(Still in the pool) my mom just keeps saying to me that Its normal...then I just let all my anger out...I regret that after the swimming...but I still remember it today
I have a phobia of flowing water like a really hard high waterfall and loud noises
Thanks this helped me
I love to do cannonballs into a little pool of water but when I sumurge down I start to panic I wave my hands around i can't breath
Good video ! Very useful
This Helped me.

I am afraid of swimming because , when I went to a water park I fell off donut thing when we landed in the water and I didn't know how to swim, I still don't but a ya anyways I feel under the water no one helped me I was drowning. Everyone just watched me and I managed to come from under the water and I found a wall I had a good grip on it but it was flat, I don't know I managed but it was God. Anyways I have a swimming lessons on Monday and I'm afraid please help !?!?!??!?!?!
How did it go?
@@loopyfruit9715 Sp it wasn't as bad but I'm still a little scared
Tell all this to instructor and ask for help, is too mucho important to try once and once more, you most go to the first and most important, to the seconds class and keep goin, you can, good look
I am 11 years old still don’t know how to swim I’m scared of drowning and my friends and family say that they won’t let me drown but it’s not that easy they don’t understand I tried swimming but when I needed to kick my legs I was crying I read some comments to this video and you guys are the ones who get me we are the ones with the fear people say oh you won’t drown I got you but they don’t understand us I hate that I don’t know how to swim it was also embarrassing because I also went to a field trip and it was to the pool I had to wear a life jacket and I only stayed at the stairs😔😖😭😭
Try not knowing how to ride a bike AND float/swim at 14. It’s pretty bad lol
嗨小姐妳很漂亮
It was the same feeling for my, and my family, un les and cousins trying to teach me, but me, only watchin how they swim, the good news, I learn, confíde in someone, open your hart you can do it
I don't scare of water or deep maybe a little bit. The scariest is difficulty on breath or I can't hold the breath
Thanks it helped me swim in deep waters tagt i cant reach with my feet
I can swim, but I don’t like swimming alone. I always think a shark is going to eat my leg while I’m swimming in the POOL.
I was scared of getting water in my ears but then i just went for it...well my friend pushed me into the pool and ever scenes i was fine
that's cool but about the breaststrock its not that easy indeed for the beginner to start doingit without knowledge and practicing , thy need to be aware of the legs kicking first such as a frog they need to practice on it then the hand then how to rise the head up each one has a tips to follow
Im so scared tho I feel like the water wouldn’t take me
Why don’t instructors get in the water .. your no good on the side to a beginner
Exactly
Is a way to teach, in group, the other way is whit a personal instructor inside the water with you side by side, , it was the only way I learn
I'm actually good in swimming mastered all the skills but backstroke is so hard it requires the trust of 💧 water
fake video bro the person is obviously not scared of water look how easily he did it
Oh no
Is the girl a real beginner overcoming her fear of getting water in her lungs or an experienced swimmer just demonstrating?
She's only demostrating
open a can of MTFU?
Why the long face?
i’m scared of going underwater cuz i’m afraid of what’s in the pool
If it were that easy to go under the water, no one would have any trouble.
Stay alive weidors yo pienso que estas equivocado también se tiene miedo al agua
The only reason I’m watching this, I was in Spain once, my mom was blowing up my rubber ring, and I slipped and I was underwater, I started drowning and there was no lifeguard, however, my mom used to be a lifeguard so I was okay.
OR POOL
