This video on egg-beater sculling is simply, well explained. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm just starting off ... first got started sitting on a noodle ... and I didn't get such detailed demonstration .. Now I think I'm better prepared to try it.
You are welcome! I am glad you found this video helpful. Why are you learning how to tread water with eggbeater kick? Is it for a lifeguarding certification or for safety?
I am ecstatic to hear about your achievement!!! It's great to know that I could help, thank you for letting me know! ❤️ How long did it take you to get it and how much did you have to practice?
Personally i think this is the best intro video i have watched, why? because it shows the turning of the leg and foot also, it shows both legs moving and then the rhythm for both the opposite directions, so thankyou.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful feedback about this tutorial! Are you learning how to perform this skill or looking for different ways of teaching it?
Going swimming next week and I'm definitely trying this. I hope I get an a-ha moment this time. I've wanted to learn how to tread water for so long. Thank you for this video. 😊
You are welcome. Keep in mind that as you keeeep praaaactiiiiciiing, eventually, you definitely get that A-ha! moment 🤗 Continue working on your rhythm.

@@easyflowing I've learnt swimming in dribs & drabs over the years, and I still remember this one moment when I found myself in the 20-metre deep end of a pool and was very scared! I've started practising swimming again and wanted to learn this necessary skill of treading water :)
@@easyflowing I find the back float the most relaxing position. So, I now tell myself while practising freestyle that I can do that any time I get tired or am in the deep end, so there's no need to panic! :D But I haven't tried the opposite: switching to swimming freestyle from the back float. Also, I kind of think of it as simply flipping over. Is there a specific technique to doing either switch?
There are a couple ways to do it. One of them is the one you described, just flipping over the side. The other one is getting into a vertical position (Eggbeater and/or sculling) and lying down to float on the back, getting up into a vertical position and lying down to float on the stomach. I usually use it for working on balance in the water. We worked a lot on it here: Fear of Water (Lessons in Open Water): ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC
You are very welcome! I am glad you found this video helpful. I'd like to know how it goes when you try these exercises in the pool. Keep in mind that it takes A LOT of practice to get the Eggbeater kick into your muscle memory. Have a great practice!
@@easyflowing Life, it seems, also takes a lot of practice. 😃 Thanks for the reminder. I'm at the pool every day, so any excuse to stop freestyling and work on treading, is very welcome. Cheers

Thank you! To be able to tread water with hands out of the water, the kick has to be very fast. Keep practicing to make it stronger. Do whole laps of doing Eggbeater kick from one side of the pool to the other and in different directions. Work up to doing 10-20 laps only Eggbeater kick first with sculling and then with your hands hugging you so that your legs would work alone.

Hi madam my name is srivatsan from India. Very interested and nice tutorial. Ur method of step by step techniques is easily understood. Please post more videos 🙏
The odd thing about the egg beater kick is to anyone watching you tread water, it looks almost like you're panicking, and having trouble treading, lol. It also feels kind of like trying to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time.
Yes, a new learner might look a bit distressed while learning eggbeater kick. However, I wouldn't say that anyone would feel like jumping in to save a Synchronized swimmer or a Water Polo player while they tread water 🤷♀️ Absolutely, it definitely feels like trying to rub a belly and pat the head, especially when doing eggbeater kick together with sculling.
You are learning and practicing on your own outside of practice, that is key in becoming the best!!! Good luck with everything! Thank you for your comment.

@@easyflowing yeah.. in an eight ft pool. Here in Ghana, where I live, there are not many good swimming tutors. So I depend on RUclips for tips and hacks... So far your threading video best explains the egg beater kick.. I would practice again this Friday.. I would let you know my progress 😊😊
@ Franklin Forson Yes, I'd love to hear about your progress and issues. I have a playlist on sculling stroke, which is very helpful for treading water: Swimming Lessons. Sculling: ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJksa9gyNU5KzbHR_A9rn4jE
@@easyflowing I am sorry for my english I am beginner in this language. Well I am 53 old years I know no swimming because aquaphobia. I think when I learn to tread water the door are opening to learn swim.
Your English is amazing, especially for a beginner!!! It’s a great idea to learn how to tread water. I would suggest to also work on your sculling and floating. Also, this is my playlist with exercises that will help your body balancing in water: First Steps to Swimming ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJn7jCl1Senai_MSqN6s7hGp If you do all of these exercises, you will be able to start being more comfortable.
@@easyflowing a meme is a joke that many people know so basicaly she was most likely going to make a reference to a mainstream joke or something well known
Thank you. It’s all about getting the movement into muscle memory by practicing, first, in slow motion. After a while, you’ll get a feel for it. Good luck with your training!
Tried it and i totally failed! oh,well..its hard to know what i might be doing wrong without a spotter! oh well, i dont give up easy though..so..maybe nxtym,id get it right!
@@jilibido yep, hahaha, don't worry, we'll get there, I'm struggling, but practicing constantly even while sitting on a chair, might help. Kaya natin ito. :)
I am definitely going to practice this routine. I confuse myself during practice. It's not easy for me to look at my instructor underwater. I also read another viewer comment regarding being nerves at the deeper end. I agree with this comment. You stated to practice in shallow water first. When I tried in the past, I continued to til backward or go underwater. My instructor told me to push my pelvis upwards and still continue to til backward. Any recommendation? Thank you so much for your videos. It's so helpful to start fresh and remind calm.
This one isn't an easy skill to learn, so keep practicing. Since you aren't able to keep your body in a vertical position, it tells me that you are unable to keep balance in water. I would suggest for you to practice these exercises, they will help you with strengthening your muscles for balancing: Strength Exercises In Water For Balance And Swimming: ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJmib-12WS1zD7KncCryC3pp PS some videos don't have sound. I have to figure out how to fix this issue.
@@easyflowing Because I got tired after swimming few minutes. I need something to make myself stand in the water. Other water treading techniques requires more efforts I heard
Most helpful video. Most videos i see is the instructor is already submerged and I can’t figure out exact position of my legs. I’ll try this technique. I’m not new to swimming and I even took swimming lessons (that’s a long story) but I still didn’t conquer my fear of swimming in the deep end of the pool
Thank you for your compliment ❤ You might benefit from the series I did in open water, where I taught my client who had a fear of water when we started but was comfortable at the end. Open Water Swimming Lessons (Fear Of Water): ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC Keep in mind that my editing wasn't the best, I am re-editing these series. The first video is done, you can watch it here: Fear Of Water to Comfort In Deep Open Water: ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJmvtg5X4YtOxLHXLj4ow586
I like how this video is explained it helps but after trying to learn it after 3 days I got better but I still end up sinking and need my hands to stay afloat
hi tried today the feet work did give me speed for breast stroke and side relief stroke was trying to do for egg beater was finding difficult . i have to listen to coach elena- PRACTISE TAKE CARE THX A MILLION
Yes, only practice makes perfect!!! Practicing your eggbeater kick puts a huge load on your feet ankles and calf muscles, so, if you put in the real work, you will be sore. Do the move slowly, first, then add speed and power.
@John Fred Fadrigalan You should start learning swimming! You can watch my playlist, where I taught my student, who was afraid of water, when we started: Swimming Lessons In Open Water. From Fear Of Water To Swimming In Deep Water ruclips.net/p/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC If you’d like to keep conversation going, please start your own comment thread, so that I could easily find you.
@@easyflowing I've been working on the timing with the kicks and sculling for the past hour. Haha. I will have to see later how I get along in my pool.
The main thing is to keep the rhythm of your eggbeater kick. Forearm motion of sculling, can have separate rhythm from kicking. I’d love to hear how it goes in the water. Please keep me posted!
I was so confused by the leg movement. This helped out a ton. i almost drowned 3 times back when i didnt know how to tread water. this was really helpful. I also have a question, Do you recommend floating in your back or treading water?
I am glad you have survived the water when you didn't know how to tread it! It is great to hear that my instruction video was helpful in your learning process. I recommend learning both treading water and a back float. The sequence does matter, though. I prefer to teach how to balance in water vertically first and only afterwards I teach floating. Because one cannot survive in open water without knowing where to go, and being able to keep the head upright in water (just enough to figure out where safety is) is a priority in a survival situation in my opinion.
I am so glad to hear it!!! Thank you for your feedback. Just keep practicing and eventually your muscles will remember the move so that you won’t even have to think about it. 💪
thank you very much ,elena ,for the response ,tommorrow ,when i will go to he pool,i will try yoour way ,before i use the freestyle vertical kiks for floating ,but i like this way ,i think that it's very helpful more than the other way ,but it's seems a little difficult ,no?
Vertical flutter kicking is very difficult to sustain for a prolonged period of time. As you master your eggbeater kick, treading water will be much easier!
Please do it with your instructor. I foolishly tried to do it alone on the deepest part of pool and just drowned. Saved by God's grace. But yes swimming is great
I am glad you are safe. In this video or in the description, I did suggest that one first needs to learn how to do sculling. Plus, new skills in deep water can be tried only if you can get yourself to and from a floating position and in a presence of a lifeguard. Also, you can always learn Eggbeater kick in the water that is chest deep. It’s unnecessary to try it in a deep end of a pool.
I am glad to hear back from you. The more you practice consistently, the faster this kick will become second nature to you. After awhile, you won't have to think about what you do in this kick, you'll just do it. So, practicing every day will get you desired result faster. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for your instructions. I don't know why I can't really make a circular motion with my legs when I'm fully inside the water. I will try your method this afternoon. Thank you.
You are welcome. Keep in mind that the circular movement is from your hip joint, not the knee. Try this exercise in the water while holding onto the wall with your hands and one leg at a time. Go slowly first because you you need to get the movement into your muscle memory. You'll get it, you just need a lot of practice. 🙌
@@easyflowing That's so sweet of you for responding. Thanks for clarifying that it's from my hip not my knee. I will re-watch your video. I'm going to the pool this afternoon. Can't wait to try your technique.
Enjoy your swim. This video might be helpful, too: ruclips.net/video/Oou2pxsKeVA/видео.html Here, I am using Eggbeater kick to get to the other side of a lake and give a few more tips.
@@easyflowing You are so nice. Thank you for your support and encouragement. Okay, I just got back from the pool. I tired your egg beater kicks holding onto the wall in a 13-feet deep pool. For the first time, I was able to move my legs in circles (instead of in and out) in a relaxing manner. Once I added my arms, I could do 3 seconds at best. However, I learned that I can use scissors kicks (I know it's the least efficient way), and I was able to do it for 1 minute TWICE!! I'm so happy. Next time, I will try adding egg beater kicks. I'm now feeling more confident. I think it's just a matter of time getting the egg beater kicks. Thank you. BTW, I have watched hours of tread water videos on YT, yours is the most graceful.
Yes, it's like rubbing your stomach in circles with one hand and tapping your head with the other. If your sculling is strong, then you could try alternating the movement of your hands. However, your sculling will be stronger if you work your hands together in unison. It takes practice
@@easyflowing LOL, I tried doing that rubbing the stomach thing and it's much easier and I can do it no problem, but the sculling while doing the egg beater sitting down on a chair is hard... :)
Wow! On a chair!? That's the next level of practice 🙌 Practicing it on a chair is definitely difficult. -Warm up, first. -Go slowly. Exercise #1. Eggbeater kick with R arm sculling. Exercise #2. Eggbeater kick with L arm sculling. Exercise #3. Eggbeater kick with both arms sculling going alternating (one moves in, the other out). Exercise #4. Very slowly, Eggbeater kick with both arms going simultaneously (both arms move in at the same time and out at the same time). In the water it will feel differently anyway because body position and the pressure will not be the same. Please let me know how it goes.
Practice these movements on dry land, if you don't have access to the water before your test. Plus, visualize yourself making these movements in the water. Visualization work is very important! Please, let me know how it goes!
@@easyflowing I went to my test today and just didn’t feel prepared and didn’t want to risk failing and have only one attempt left so I rescheduled for 3 weeks out

Wow, I don't know the origins of this kick... I would think that it would originate somewhere in the islands, thousands of years ago... if Americans were the first ones to describe it and to use it for water safety or sports, it could be but I really don't know.
Amazing tutorial,i'm in love with you and your channel,you've replied to every single comment,you really care about your viewers .I'll practice this tomorrow,you explain it so well.Thank you.
I'LL subscribe to your channel for future content.

Your compliment and your view are greatly appreciated! ❤️
Are you learning the Eggbeater kick for water safety or there's another purpose?
@@easyflowing For safety, comfort and one day for the lifeguard badge 😊 Thanks!
@sandro3390
Oh, for a lifeguarding test, you'll need to do the Eggbeater kick with the hands out of the water. A lot of fun work ahead of you.
Your video is the best explained
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment 🙏
I am glad you found it helpful!
Why are you learning how to tread water?
@@easyflowing yeah.. in an eight ft pool. Here in Ghana, where I live, there are not many good swimming tutors. So I depend on RUclips for tips and hacks... So far your threading video best explains the egg beater kick.. I would practice again this Friday.. I would let you know my progress 😊😊
@ Franklin Forson
Yes, I'd love to hear about your progress and issues.
I have a playlist on sculling stroke, which is very helpful for treading water:

@@easyflowing than you very much for your welcome me.
Of course! I appreciate it when my viewers take their time to comment. Why are you learning how to tread water?
@@easyflowing I am sorry for my english I am beginner in this language. Well I am 53 old years I know no swimming because aquaphobia. I think when I learn to tread water the door are opening to learn swim.
Your English is amazing, especially for a beginner!!!
It’s a great idea to learn how to tread water. I would suggest to also work on your sculling and floating.
Also, this is my playlist with exercises that will help your body balancing in water:

You are awesome! Just subscribed. Love the way you explain things!
I am glad you are here! Thank you for subscribing and for your compliment!!!
congratulations great class!! I have difficulty in this movement. I have to train more. Thanks for the class...😗😘
Thank you. It’s all about getting the movement into muscle memory by practicing, first, in slow motion. After a while, you’ll get a feel for it. Good luck with your training!

@Jill I know, right? It's like doing some kind of new dance moves using arms and legs, confusing! Lol
Tried it and i totally failed! oh,well..its hard to know what i might be doing wrong without a spotter! oh well, i dont give up easy though..so..maybe nxtym,id get it right!

Thank you for the video ms..
You are welcome!
The most understandable video i found 💪
I am happy you found this video helpful! How is your learning process going?
I am definitely going to practice this routine. I confuse myself during practice. It's not easy for me to look at my instructor underwater.
I also read another viewer comment regarding being nerves at the deeper end. I agree with this comment.
You stated to practice in shallow water first. When I tried in the past, I continued to til backward or go underwater.
My instructor told me to push my pelvis upwards and still continue to til backward.
Any recommendation?
Thank you so much for your videos. It's so helpful to start fresh and remind calm.
This one isn't an easy skill to learn, so keep practicing.
Since you aren't able to keep your body in a vertical position, it tells me that you are unable to keep balance in water. I would suggest for you to practice these exercises, they will help you with strengthening your muscles for balancing:

PS some videos don't have sound. I have to figure out how to fix this issue.
Awesome video thanks
You are welcome. I am glad you liked it. Why are you learning Eggbeater kick?
@@easyflowing Because I got tired after swimming few minutes. I need something to make myself stand in the water. Other water treading techniques requires more efforts I heard
Absolutely, after getting good at it, this treading kick requires the least energy expenditure in comparison with the flutter and breaststroke kicks.
Thank you for this excellent video
You are welcome 🙏

Most helpful video. Most videos i see is the instructor is already submerged and I can’t figure out exact position of my legs. I’ll try this technique. I’m not new to swimming and I even took swimming lessons (that’s a long story) but I still didn’t conquer my fear of swimming in the deep end of the pool
Thank you for your compliment ❤
You might benefit from the series I did in open water, where I taught my client who had a fear of water when we started but was comfortable at the end.

You are welcome! I am glad this video was helpful. Why are you learning Eggbeater kick?
I like how this video is explained it helps but after trying to learn it after 3 days I got better but I still end up sinking and need my hands to stay afloat
I am glad you can see your progress! It definitely takes longer to practice, in order to be able to do it without the help of your hands.
hi
tried today
the feet work did give me speed for breast stroke and side relief stroke
was trying to do for egg beater was finding difficult .
i have to listen to coach elena- PRACTISE
TAKE CARE
THX A MILLION
Yes, only practice makes perfect!!! Practicing your eggbeater kick puts a huge load on your feet ankles and calf muscles, so, if you put in the real work, you will be sore. Do the move slowly, first, then add speed and power.
Loved your video👍
I am looking for learning this. I will practice and share my experience with you later!
Thank you for watching my video and for enjoying it. I will LOVE hearing about your experience!!!

Have you tried these exercises?
@@easyflowing I've been working on the timing with the kicks and sculling for the past hour. Haha. I will have to see later how I get along in my pool.
I've watched so many videos and none have been this helpful. So for that, thank you.
The main thing is to keep the rhythm of your eggbeater kick. Forearm motion of sculling, can have separate rhythm from kicking.
I’d love to hear how it goes in the water. Please keep me posted!
Thanks you are the best
Thank you!
Are you learning for water safety or for a lifeguarding certification?
This one will take some for me to learn. Great visuals tho! I gott'em planted in my head. Thxs, will put the time in to practice this movement.
Thank you for your comment and a compliment. Practice makes perfect!
Thanks a lot ma'am!
You are welcome!
this was awesome
Thank you!
Your comment is awesome! ❤️
I was so confused by the leg movement. This helped out a ton. i almost drowned 3 times back when i didnt know how to tread water. this was really helpful. I also have a question, Do you recommend floating in your back or treading water?
I am glad you have survived the water when you didn't know how to tread it!
It is great to hear that my instruction video was helpful in your learning process.
I recommend learning both treading water and a back float. The sequence does matter, though. I prefer to teach how to balance in water vertically first and only afterwards I teach floating. Because one cannot survive in open water without knowing where to go, and being able to keep the head upright in water (just enough to figure out where safety is) is a priority in a survival situation in my opinion.
Love your video, l am trying to do iT my self. And Right confusing l can still do iT. Thank you so much for sharing this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I am so glad to hear it!!! Thank you for your feedback. Just keep practicing and eventually your muscles will remember the move so that you won’t even have to think about it. 💪
Love this, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
hello,thank you very much,i ill try it in the pool
Hello. Great! Please let me know how it goes in the pool.
thank you very much ,elena ,for the response ,tommorrow ,when i will go to he pool,i will try yoour way ,before i use the freestyle vertical kiks for floating ,but i like this way ,i think that it's very helpful more than the other way ,but it's seems a little difficult ,no?
Vertical flutter kicking is very difficult to sustain for a prolonged period of time. As you master your eggbeater kick, treading water will be much easier!
ok,thanks elena i try to learn it
İ am learning a Lot of things with your great teaching.thank you 😊 and also you are so beautiful a woman 😊😘
Thank you 🙏
Superb 👍
Thank you. 🙌
I am glad you found my tutorial helpful!
Why are you learning Eggbeater kick?
Amazing!
Thank you 🙏 Are you learning Eggbeater kick for open water survival or for more confidence in the water?
Please do it with your instructor. I foolishly tried to do it alone on the deepest part of pool and just drowned. Saved by God's grace. But yes swimming is great
I am glad you are safe. In this video or in the description, I did suggest that one first needs to learn how to do sculling. Plus, new skills in deep water can be tried only if you can get yourself to and from a floating position and in a presence of a lifeguard.
Also, you can always learn Eggbeater kick in the water that is chest deep. It’s unnecessary to try it in a deep end of a pool.
Swimming And Living absolutely. Your vids are inspiring. Just as I said my foolishness
Thank you 🙏
So helpful
I am glad! Thank you for commenting ❤️
So nice, thank you.
You are welcome 🤗
Thank you for your comment!
I will try this exercise tomorrow and I will tell if I succeed or not later
Sounds great, I'd love to hear how it goes!
remains difficult on leg movements. do I have to repeat this exercise every day or every few days?
I am glad to hear back from you.
The more you practice consistently, the faster this kick will become second nature to you. After awhile, you won't have to think about what you do in this kick, you'll just do it.
So, practicing every day will get you desired result faster.
Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you 😊
My pleasure!
thanks a lot this video is really helpful for me ! 😊
I am glad!!!

You are welcome. I am glad you found the video helpful.
Are you learning to tread water for an open water competition or for survival?
im going swimming in summer thank you
Enjoy! Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you for your instructions. I don't know why I can't really make a circular motion with my legs when I'm fully inside the water. I will try your method this afternoon. Thank you.
You are welcome. Keep in mind that the circular movement is from your hip joint, not the knee. Try this exercise in the water while holding onto the wall with your hands and one leg at a time. Go slowly first because you you need to get the movement into your muscle memory.
You'll get it, you just need a lot of practice. 🙌
Please keep me posted on your progress!
@@easyflowing That's so sweet of you for responding. Thanks for clarifying that it's from my hip not my knee. I will re-watch your video. I'm going to the pool this afternoon. Can't wait to try your technique.
Enjoy your swim.

Here, I am using Eggbeater kick to get to the other side of a lake and give a few more tips.
@@easyflowing You are so nice. Thank you for your support and encouragement. Okay, I just got back from the pool. I tired your egg beater kicks holding onto the wall in a 13-feet deep pool. For the first time, I was able to move my legs in circles (instead of in and out) in a relaxing manner. Once I added my arms, I could do 3 seconds at best. However, I learned that I can use scissors kicks (I know it's the least efficient way), and I was able to do it for 1 minute TWICE!! I'm so happy. Next time, I will try adding egg beater kicks. I'm now feeling more confident. I think it's just a matter of time getting the egg beater kicks. Thank you. BTW, I have watched hours of tread water videos on YT, yours is the most graceful.
Hi, how to coordinate the sculling with the movements of the legs during egg-beater? This is challenging. Thanks
Yes, it's like rubbing your stomach in circles with one hand and tapping your head with the other.
If your sculling is strong, then you could try alternating the movement of your hands. However, your sculling will be stronger if you work your hands together in unison. It takes practice
Basically, each leg circle is a full sculling stroke.
@@easyflowing LOL, I tried doing that rubbing the stomach thing and it's much easier and I can do it no problem, but the sculling while doing the egg beater sitting down on a chair is hard... :)
Wow! On a chair!? That's the next level of practice 🙌
Practicing it on a chair is definitely difficult.
-Warm up, first.
-Go slowly.
Exercise #1. Eggbeater kick with R arm sculling.
Exercise #2. Eggbeater kick with L arm sculling.
Exercise #3. Eggbeater kick with both arms sculling going alternating (one moves in, the other out).
Exercise #4. Very slowly, Eggbeater kick with both arms going simultaneously (both arms move in at the same time and out at the same time).
In the water it will feel differently anyway because body position and the pressure will not be the same.
Please let me know how it goes.

I have my test tmmr morning and I havnt got this down after this video I should hopefully pass
Practice these movements on dry land, if you don't have access to the water before your test. Plus, visualize yourself making these movements in the water. Visualization work is very important!
Please, let me know how it goes!
@@easyflowing will do
@@easyflowing I went to my test today and just didn’t feel prepared and didn’t want to risk failing and have only one attempt left so I rescheduled for 3 weeks out
It was wise. Practice a lot!!!
