  • We teach how to tread water using the most efficient technique, the eggbeater kick. Treading water is great to learn whether you play water polo or just want to get stronger in the water. We teach the progression step by step from breaststroke to eggbeater. Proper technique is emphasized and the steps are slow and easy to follow. We also have a Part 2 and a Part 3 video to help you improve your treading.

    We just released a new eggbeater video that helps fix rotation problems. It's very simple but very effective! ruclips.net/video/FHWMYutEbKA/видео.html We truly appreciate all your support and positive feedback over the years! Love being able to share our treading water knowledge and techniques with you.

    Keeping the knees high while doing the eggbeater is a thing I'll be remembering.
    I know how to swim like the basic freestyle and breast stroke but I always get nervous when the water gets deep and I have nothing to step to. I've always wanted to learn treading and this video definitely gave me a lot of pointers in doing it the right way. Can't wait to try this out soon.

      @Erick-ev5zt 11 месяцев назад +2

      I agree. He's the only coach who emphasized bringing the knees high. Also I learned from another coach also on RUclips, is to not go straight vertically when threading cause you will get tired easily. Instead lean your head forward so that your body will be almost 45 degrees on the water much like a forward slash "\"

    Thank you so much! I'll be taking Red Cross Lifeguard training soon, but haven't mastered treading water with no hands--this really helps! W-a-a-a-y better than my freestyle kick!

      I'm so glad to read your comment, and I couldn't agree more. Although I've been snorkeling for most of my life, I never really learned to swim without gear. Well, I took my first formal swimming lesson today...and I'm 60.

    God, whenever I kicked breastroke, It felt extremely painful around the groin. Guess what, I've been doing the kick wrong all 9 years of my swimming!!! I've been doing exactly what you mentioned the wrong way of kicking breastroke is. Today, I swam using your tips, and it didn't hurt anymore! Thank you so much you have no idea I was almost about to quit swimming because of the pain. If anyone else has similar problems to me, try the two tips they gave on breastroke out! It really helps!
    Edit: I'm a pretty fast swimmer as well, and been trying to find what was wrong with my kick all these years! THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN! :D
