YES!!! I love this video. The key to swimming is not going from point A to B but rather learning how to be present in the water and have fun. Building confidence and then learning the mechanics.
Good advice.

the calmness he has in the water and the music makes you already feel comfortable before even going to learn swimming.. very nice.. :)
i know! I always feel that way when i watch this video, but a whole other story once i get in the water!
exactly what is missing in almost all swim teaching! I believe in this comfort zone as imperative for true safety. Awesome video!
I tried the exact same thing he did and I almost seen the light on the other side. Something went terribly wrong.....
Marco Boyd 😂😂😂😂
LOL
hahahahaahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahahahah
Sorry i can't- - too funny
😂😂😂
Thank you!
Finally almost 30 years I found a video that makes sense. We non-swimmers or those that fear swimming never think human body has buoyancy and the body is pushed to the surface.
I will try your tricks and I feel good already. I will let my head go underwater, come out, breath tread water that way in a shallow area first. I can see where this is going.
Awesome! Check out our newest video.
Cyanide Who! What! Keep Swimming!
LMAO
You'll be surprised if I tell you that I sink in water! Not everyone has buoyancy
@@Ikhwanudin I sink right to the bottom and scare the crap out of life guards!
One of the most practical videos on "treading" water for non athletes! Kudos to you guys for making it so easy to understand.
Found my vertical bouyancy today in the beach. I always freak out when I cannot reach the sand anymore. But today was different. Big thanks to this video! 👍🏾
Hi, I've seen dozens of videos about treading water and THIS is the best! Thank you.
I've always been a bad distance swimmer. Fatigue super quickly and have hard time treading water. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you
I used to get so nervous and could barely tread water for a minute the most. I was surprised that I was able to tread water for more than 3 minutes after trying what's shown here. Thank you so much.
The best video for new swimmers like me. I can swimm but never tried in deep water. If i had a chance to take 1 h lesson from this guy i would have no problem anywhere.
The best video that I have ever found. I have been swimming for years and I can dive in deep water but I can’t tread and I have been comfortable but you really made it easy. You gave some light in understanding the physics behind the buoyancy..Great job man .
I had to laugh starting at 26-53secs. I can't float like this to save my life. This guy must be made of styrofoam?
This made me laugh so hard 😂
the video creator is an idiot, wearing buoyancy shorts with 3-5mm neoprene. That's why is floating like that
@@mistervova11 see? I knew something was not right about his performance. Your comment just cleared my doubts
I was chuckling actually
@@mistervova11 I can float like that no problem just wearing a regular bathing suit. If the water was calm, the only thing that might cause me to drown would be hypothermia. I can tread water indefinitely because I don't need to move my arms or legs to stay afloat. It has to do with body composition. Most people are buoyant, but I think this video is misleading because some people are much less buoyant than others and wouldn't be anywhere near the surface once they found their equilibrium.
A good video, one of the best I've seen so congrats. I already know how to tread but it's really great to see a video focusing on minimal effort by making use of natural buoyancy. Exactly how I teach. Breathing is everything, it doesn't state it in this video but the more air you hold in your lungs the more likely or faster you will float to the surface.
The most beautiful video about swimming that I have seen on youtube... natural is simple..N simple is beautiful...
Many thanks for this video. MY treading is too exhausting and active. I shall start by perfecting this passive form of treading first and then build from there. I wish that I had seen your video sooner. Thank you for these super important tips and techniques.
The key point is to stay relax and calm when performing the vertical bouyancy. It won't work if you are anxious and tense. The bad part is our nose is still submerge in the water, that is when we apply the sculling and kicking to bring our nose above the water.
Zola Zon thanks. but can u just tilt you head back to get air.
that's right. water line for most people is at their forehead. I taught my friends this buoyancy. they have to wear goggles when learning this because it doesn't help at all when you can't see clearly underwater it will make you tensed. and better try this at not very deep part of the pool just beside the wall. it will greatly calm you if you bring a friend with you when learning this just in case
Love this video. One of the 2 videos of the numerous videos I watched that finally helped me to tread water.
Hi Swimmers! We've posted another treading water video - all about sculling (using the hands/arms) to create lift and controlling your body in the water. Sorry for the long wait!

Can you learn to tread water in the shallow end? I am not a good swimmer at all and suffer from fear in the deep. I can float. Please help!
This is a very good video. Especially for beginners and people who learn on their own, like me. I had to figure out all of this on my own (after casting out all the fear demons, of course). Thanks. Keep'em comin'!
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply.
SeahikerVideo Cool, bro.
Lol @ casting out the fear demons
I don't think I ever realized I never sink past the top of my head, this is good information for when I try again. I know the motions of the freestyle and breaststroke but I never learned the basics and have had to learn everything myself.
This is such a great demo. I'm an adult learning how to swim and tread, and I have watched almost every single video on treading but I really enjoyed watching this one, especially how easily you're able to move from floating your front to your back by calmly letting your head lead without much movement. The other video focused on sculling is great too, I've had it explained to me and I've watched a ton of videos but still not quite getting what I'm doing wrong until I watched that video. Ready to try these techniques in the pool.
I was learning my friend how to float in water and she was delighted about hardness of sinking, she was thinking that her body acts like a rock, so this video can be really helpful for begginers, because it shows how we act in water :)
Everyone's going on about how we don't all have the same bouyancy, I feel that's beside the fact. I like this video because getting comfortable with your buoyancy, whatever it is, is the key to being relaxed in the water. I'm desperate to learn to be comfortable in the deep, and no teacher i've had has addressed these techniques.
Love this.. Very calming to watch and learn
This is fun to watch and probably a way to entertain yourself for hours
I discovered something like this on my own but not quite vertical as he does it but I am inspired. I realised one day that my limbs were actually sinking me in the water but if just stopped using them buoyancy took over. Then I learned to use limb movements that help not sink. But to stay buoyant like this you have to slow your heart beat and practice breathing techniques similar to free divers but not quite all the way to hyperventilating. I could almost sleep in the pool.
after 47 years I am just starting to learn to swim. my 8 year old is showing me these techniques and they do indeed work. the more relaxed I am the easier it is. not quite there but I will definitely be using this video to get me there so many thanks Sea Hiker.
I had a swimming instructor that kept almost half of his torso out of the water when he was talking to us students. It was amazing to watch.
Beautiful and useful lesson 🤩 I immediately feel in love with your channel 😘
Interesting. I taught myself how to swim when I was a tween but I've never been able to tread water. I will practice these techniques.
So helpful in making me trust my body! Will experiment with this next time I'm in a pool!
THANK YOU! You’re my savior in water :D
That is a nice video. thank you so much for sharing. I cannot wait to try this.
Yes, very helpfull in learning treading Love this video, Thanks.
this was so calming to watch
thank you for the tips.. tom. will be my lesson on water threading ... made me more excited. 😅
Wow! Thanks so much for this useful video. It will definitely help me overcome my fear of deep water.
Don't forget to let me know how it goes
this is what i am looking for. love it. thanks...
float first then movement later, cool principle.
Thank's for this video, I am on the stage of learning treading. Very helpfull.
This is a wonderful video. Water is soo.....relaxing.
That's the concept the US Navy teaches to conserve as much energy as possible.
The Red Cross lifeguard prep videos are showing a tremendous amount of leg and foot motion in circles and whatever.
The US Navy taught us how to save a fellow Sailor rapidly with the least amount of energy expended.
Pools are relatively small. It's a big, deep ocean out there.
Found the vid I need thanks man for showing how to do it
i'll be teaching this to my kids, Thank you!
Good stuff. I do this all the time for the few first minutes before swimming. Its really easy. All about breath control and relaxation.
Can you give more details on how you breath while doing this?
I'm trying hard to do that vertical bouyancy drill, I sink all the way down every time. Should I keep the lungs filled up, or what do you think I'm doing wrong? Thanks a lot!!
I have difficulty floating, so I hardly ever swim. I would be truly amazed if I could achieve the kind of vertical buoyancy seen in this video.
SWIMFREE
IT IS WONDERFULL VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN, WITH INFORMATION AND ALSO WITH ITS MUSIC..
THANKS BRO..
thank you for the video, ill be practicing next time im at the pool.
I love this song and the floating.
You made this looks so much fun and easy but when I try to do it, I panic, desperately trying to keep myself a float, ran out of energy, drown.
my problem is my nerves, they always get the better of me...

wow..good video to teach beginners like me..thanks!
Probably, the best treading water video ever. can you please suggest a lesson to practice, "breathing for beginners"?
Cooolest tread lesson mann.. awesome.🖒🖒🖒
are you holding your breath during vertical buoancy?
or can you please tell me how to control the breath during vertical buoyancy!?
Raazaa Wing don’t breath out too much
I love this song.
It was like a music video, moves were so rhythmic.
OMG!He is so clever!👍👍👍👍👍
I can swim and tread water but I’ve never really thought about my vertical buoyancy will have to check it out next time I go swimming
Great video...Trust is everything 🙌
Ahahahah😂🤣😂🤣 man this is so cool.. I wish I knew how too swim.. the current had took me down in the creek of the rock river and I couldnt come back up and someone that I was beefing with (basically my enemy) had came too get me out the water and was like "breathe, just breathe calm down I got you bro, I got you, come on" .. it's crazy cus I wouldve never thought my enemy would save my life 💯🙏. I've been afraid of water like lakes, rivers and shit like that since 8 years old, had a bad experience while I was learning how too swim, got thrown in 8 feet deep water and I couldnt come back up, been traumatized since. I wish I knew how too swim or even just float so that i felt safe. But it's different when the water is water or has a current.. even in calm water like this, I still fall under water and dont know why
very helpful, thanks!
thanks i needed this
I hope you can make a video of this with a beginner that is in the pool learning from scratch.
This how i learned to tread water..relax and small movement of the hands and a small kick now and then. Less stress!
How to practice this in deep water where water level is above your head when you are vertical.
Great video!
Thanks ! very helpful.
Any advice for marines in full gear? Flak,boots, and Helmet with full cammies
I will learn how to do this this summer 💕
For anyone looking this up in preparation for marine bootcamp, do they allow all these techniques for treading?or do they only allow one technique of doing it
How are you floating with your head pressing up while your hips are down.you made it look easy. My hips damn near have to be touching the surface to stay afloat but you can somehow keep your head above water at a 45 degree angle without using your legs.
Please tell me how. I don't have buoyancy. I sink in water
Thank you. Thank you.
I love this
I wish I was that relaxed in the water 😩
Tried this multiple times in the pool at the deep end. I always sink all the way to the bottom of the pool. Tried with full breath of air and being very relaxed. Even then, I slowly go to the bottom. With normal amount of air in the lungs, I sink much faster.
Tried being horizontal and that is slightly better than vertical, but the water level is still way above my head.
Feels like I am truly negative buoyant. Any advice for increasing your buoyancy? I struggle in freestyle because of this but find breaststroke easier.
If you try floating in a vertical position, keep in mind that "floating" might mean that your face is submerged, and perhaps just the top of your head is at or above the surface. It's very rare to be so negatively buoyant while at the surface and with full lungs. Do you know your lung volume? Another way to test this: take a full lungful of air in about 4 feet of water, and lie on the bottom. Do nothing. Do not exhale a thing. Do you float up all the way, a bit or not at all.
Another question: can you float on your back and kick gently? Does that work for you?
I'm exactly the same...
Even taking a full breath if I lay at the bottom of the swimming pool I don't float at all.
I just can float on my back if I move my legs and arms. if I do it lightly I sink immediately.
I lay on the bottom of the swimming pool even if I'm holding a noodle.
@@s1vinicius I am the same. I love to scare the life guards by laying on the bottom of the pool for long periods. I can stay on the bottom about 3 minutes before having to come up for air. Styrofoam stomach SwimFree just does not get it. He ASSumes everyone is as boyant as he is. WRONG.
Nice video. I love swimming. :-)
When i try to glide and freestyle going from pt. a to b.. somehow after a time my head rises up from water, i lose my balance and my hips and leg sinks losing propulsion. How to get over it. I recognize that i m getting my head position wrong after the initial glide.
Yes, that's correct. It's one of the most challenging aspects of swimming for people new to the sport.
thank you big help. thanks
1:03 I can do that everywhere even in ocean but can't float vertical even though I'm not scared of sinking
What is the best sculling technique for a person who has dense muscles and bone and little body fat?
So are u holding your breath when u go under or exhaling
How is the swimmer able to float at 0.28sec? He does not seem to sink into the pool. If I were to do the same, I would sink and then gasp for breath.
LMAO!
It's because I'm not trying to keep my head out of the water. Some people can actually float with their face clear of the water without needing their arms. Depends on buoyancy and lung size, usually.
Do you actually breath there or just hold air in lungs?
If you breath then would you not bob up and down as your lungs fill air and release air?
It would depends on the volume of air still in my air. Exhaling ALL your air at the surface will generally make you sink. Best to keep some air in.
I used to swim alot as a kid with no issues, after puberty I gained weight for rugby. Now I'm 6'2 ~210lbs and sink like a rock, even when I hold a large breath
New subscriber here! Great informative video. Any tips about treading with your arms above your head?
already felt tired and drowning watching this while lying on my stomach 😞
Thank you!
Lovely and amazing
Love this
I love that background tune. what's it called and who's it by?
Everytime I tried this I fail what to do plz guide me
I need help,every time I go to deep pools I kept going down
Can anyone tell me ,while treading in water should I hold my breath or else I can do breathing simultaneously
This is a bit like 'Crystal voyager' for swimmers but what's that tune?
Please make more videos on front and back strokes
One question. Are you maintaining air in your lungs fully. I seem to have to take a deeper breath than just a normal breath. I like the way you are so relaxed. I did it fairly well with a deeper breath. Better than I ever have. I love the water now and don't fear the deepens of the pool without worrying where the wall is!! Thanks. I want to be able to do the same in a lake. Great video!
you don't need to take in air fully. it will hurt your chest in the water. and you can exhale a bit of air in the water too. you don't need to keep all the air in the chest.
i already feel drowning seeing this
my vertical buoyancy is way above my ears! and that's with full diapraghm breathing, ain't no way I could float like you.
Great video
