Swimming Basics: Treading Water. Time to learn an essential life skill in this one! Anyone looking to ever get near water should take a look at this. Stay safe in the water!
things like these are very helpful but during real accidents, people tends to panic and forget everything they learned. Swimming isn't just about learning to swim but to also learning to overcome your phobia/fears of water and focus mentally
This is me right now. I'm just learning how to tread water. As soon I begin to sink I forget everything and panic. It's hectic. 😭 I wish I could easily get over my aquaphobia
Just started out learning to swim recently so I am very happy to have found such an excellent tutorial on this basic yet critical skill. Have a much higher confidence of getting this right thanks to your video.
This video on egg-beater sculling is very 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.
simple and direct. . .tnx. . .i know to swim in just a bit distance only on shallow water hahahaha i didnt attempt on deep water bec. i dont know how to float(tread water). . .as much as i want to enjoy swimming. . .i envy others coz they learn it naturally. tnx God there is youtube and chanel like this.
Yeah don't put yourself in danger until you can keep yourself up in the deep water! Yeah some people are more natural floaters and can pick up the technique very easily. But keep working at it and you'll get there in the end! Good luck!
It is hard to know why exactly this happens without seeing your kick, however the best things to do are; to have a wide base so position your body in a way so that you look like your sitting in a chair, ensure that your legs are constantly kicking, and use the sculling motion with your hands to assist with your kick. I hope that this helps
Swimproving if I kick like this violently, I’ll stay afloat for a mere 20 seconds. I need to do this for 5 minutes. How do I build up muscular endurance to keep treading? My leg muscles get pumped and tire way too quickly
I can't even do this in shallow water. I am really struggling with this. Front and back float is easy, but when I do it upright, my body automatically tenses up.
It may be that your kick may not be strong enough, so if you have access to a noodle put it underneath you (like you would riding a horse) and practice trying to keep your shoulders out of the water, the noodle will help keep you up in the water and then all you have to do is work on the technique and strength of your kick. when consistent this should then mean your kick is strong enough to perform without support. Hope that this helps!
feel like when i'm treading i have to go really fast, flailing almost (or more doggy paddle style) to actually have it work well enough. guess control and such comes with time?
I am 37 and still can't do this. I've had people work with me and I've gotten the techniques right enough only to repeatedly be told, "that looks perfect, this makes no sense, you should be staying up but you juat go straight down. I don't know what to tell you." I think it's just the way my body is built. I've spent a lot of time in the water and love it so much, I desperately want to scuba more than anything, but I can't keep my head above water to save my life. Literally. 😢
Threading water and swimming with my head above the water are my hardest obstacle rn 😆 I can swim freestyle and breast stroke with head in the water, but can’t thread water 😅
I can never tread water, I remember taking lessons and they always say bicycle kicks. I found it waste too much energy and I end up sinking. I have no problem however using a slow breast stroke and frog legs to stay afloat for days. The egg beater makes sense, it's almost like an alternating half frog leg. Gonna try this next time in the pool.
Hello Sir... I'm from India Is treading water possible for a person over 50 years of age, not knowing to swim, and having pain in the knees? Please help...

Okay, well work on them individually. The Leg technique is more important to learn as this will be able to keep your head above the water on its own. The sculling motion can just be put in occasionally until you are able to use both at the same time. Thank you for your comment!
I want to learn thread because i want to be part of philippine army you need 30 minutes in the water after 30 minutes the instructor will drown you so I need more intense knowledge
I really want to learn swimming but whenever my head get submerged in the water, I would start panicking cause i feel like drowning :( i drowned before when i was a kid. thanks to life guard who saved me

Your point being?

my teacher said you have relax your muscles in deep water that will help you to float better.
@@priyaa__9711 and hold your breath too
Absolutely right. Learn to be comfortable with deep side of the pool first
Now i just need a pool 😐
Same.. ILL JUST BREAK INTO MY COUSINS POOL! 😃👍🏽
🤣🤣
it'd be worse if you had the pool and didn't know how to swim. you're thinking ahead.
☺️

The first video I have ever seen on treading water. THANK YOU!
Thanks for creating and sharing this free training video...helps with swimming skills..
Super video the best I seen on threading water. Thank you!
Great video, please also advise on the water confidence for the adults such as fear of swimming in the deep end.
Thank you !! Great video and awesome explanation !! Two thumbs up !!
Ged Adventures Thank you very much! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Thank you! Very helpful video!
Thnx for this great video; u answered all my treading questions in few mins
dang on point. best tut for treading with so many variations and their cons explained.
Thank you, so nice to hear that you enjoyed the video!

My treading water looks eerily similar to waterboarding...
I'll try your techniques; the kickboard sounds nice. I never sculled on my back.
very informative and I like the comparison between different kicks...
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad that you found the video informative.
Great video. Very simple and well explained.
Thank you! Means a lot!
You guys make this look easy
Well explained, am excited to try it out!
Thank u chief! Life saver!
really helpful video!
i was difficult was a flutter kick and a vertical while I just used egg beater
Many people knows swimming but technically they don't have proper treading skills. This is very useful.
Excellent explaining the skills
I've got to try these soon,thanks for the knowledge man
May God bless u
How long has the eggbeater kick been in use for survival swimming?
Thank you👍🏻
Am i the only one who can only do this for 10 sec? I get cramps or get tired easily
No
Me too
Me too
This is one of the best video on water treading
Can I do vertical flutter kick?
What kick that good to use in water treading for 30 minutes it's the eggbeater???
Unexpectedly laughed at "Jesus was capable of it" :) luv it
He was a prophet
Can't wait to try!
I learned how to swim for school thanks for this video
Well done, glad I could help!
But when I kick the water I still sink down

@@coraliscopuselaborat
Try learning floating on back
Not ur b*tch ya
😂like me
First video I found with so much explanation
Thank you for the flutter kick now I could go in the deep end I’m watching in the water don’t Judge
I shan't judge, keep it up!
very good video. I was doing the egg beater kick in the opp direction!!
Glad that this could help! :D
Does this need a practice?
It is more comfortable for me to move my legs in a blender but on the opposite side of how they teach there it is, is that the same?
donno about Jeasus but Imma try it! Thank u!
where is the music from ?
Great! Two thumbs up!!!!
Thank you, means a lot!
Hummm I get the idea but still plz help
Very well explained
If i master this think that i am middle of the pool and when i do this i will be the there in one place, how to move?
I will but still going down to water why
Any tips
I am trying it so much.. but I am not being able to do
Thanks
I can't even do this in shallow water. I am really struggling with this. Front and back float is easy, but when I do it upright, my body automatically tenses up.
So satisfying video
Very informative and helpful. :)
I can manage to lift my feet off the ground, but my head is also in the water (I am in the middle of water). Any idea?
It may be that your kick may not be strong enough, so if you have access to a noodle put it underneath you (like you would riding a horse) and practice trying to keep your shoulders out of the water, the noodle will help keep you up in the water and then all you have to do is work on the technique and strength of your kick. when consistent this should then mean your kick is strong enough to perform without support.
Hope that this helps!
Is this supposed to be more exhausting than swimming? Bc to me it is
i keep sinking under the water when i try to thread the water
im gonna try this when i go back to the pool but i guess i have to learn the movement sitting on the side first...thanks man
Yeah it is easier to learn on the side because, it's a weird motion for you legs to perform. Thanks okay! :D
Good lesson
When I try to tread water Its hard for me to stay in place. I move around a lot. How do I stay in place?
Daniel Y Chow sculling will let you maintain your balance 🙂
But sir I always go down when I exhale and then inhale🥲 please give an advice
Cant wait to try 21 more days so i go swimming pool
Muy bien
feel like when i'm treading i have to go really fast, flailing almost (or more doggy paddle style) to actually have it work well enough. guess control and such comes with time?
m lynn Just relaxed it.
i do water sculling with just hands, and then lie on my back if i become tires.
I would prefer to learn treading in the middle of the pool with just enough room to learn yet not fear drowning 😀
I am 37 and still can't do this. I've had people work with me and I've gotten the techniques right enough only to repeatedly be told, "that looks perfect, this makes no sense, you should be staying up but you juat go straight down.

can you swim? you don’t need to thread water for scuba. you will have your BCD either way, so for emergency swimmung is enough.
Is this swimming or martial arts in water
Can you scull and not kick, but do a sitting thing and still float?
thats difficult
Depends on your boyancy. People with less muscle mass can float without doing much.
@@okwui04 can confirm this works as I am 150 lbs and also needed to have full lungs of air. Others mileage may vary.
Threading water and swimming with my head above the water are my hardest obstacle rn 😆 I can swim freestyle and breast stroke with head in the water, but can’t thread water 😅

Seams like the most complicated thing ever
this is video very good,I do on the swimming pool and I want to learn to be PROFESSIOANL.
Thank for this video has taught me.
I Apprecite It
treading with no hands is impressive
So ur telling me all this time I thought ur body supposed to be straight vertical in the water while treading ..hmm I was wrong
thank you. so many of my unknown friends disappeared drowning. they were erased by the crashing water and bubbles. I can live. I will live.
Hello Sir...
I'm from India
Is treading water possible for a person over 50 years of age, not knowing to swim, and having pain in the knees?
Please help...
yes but i would prefer flutter kick to egg beater for your knees
I was told that I'm negatively buoyant. Will I ever be able to tread water

The pool looks all scary lol.
好
swimming is confusing to me.
how does just moving your legs and arms in a special pattern
allow you to defy gravity?
I can't use my hand and feet in the same time
Okay, well work on them individually. The Leg technique is more important to learn as this will be able to keep your head above the water on its own. The sculling motion can just be put in occasionally until you are able to use both at the same time.
Thank you for your comment!
I have the same issue
@@Swimproving And thank you for following up with further clarification. That's why I read these comments. They can be so helpful
🏊👍
The water underwater looks scary it reminds me of a subway bathroom scary
isnt half a "W" is a "V?"
Something as easy n natural gets so difficult when trying explaining n trying to understand/follow the explanation/ instructions
🏊🏼♂️🏊🏻♀️
I just can do breaststroke kick.. Whenever I try other kick I sink
😜
Too bad i can't try this tricks cause i don't a near swimming pool i only have a angry coach
I want to learn thread because i want to be part of philippine army you need 30 minutes in the water after 30 minutes the instructor will drown you so I need more intense knowledge
Treading water like that will tire you out very quick, better to float on your back.
You just gotta trust your bouyancy
Try this but still sink :(
So treading water looks like pedaling a wonky bicycle in the water.
That's what I was thinking!
I really want to learn swimming but whenever my head get submerged in the water, I would start panicking cause i feel like drowning :( i drowned before when i was a kid. thanks to life guard who saved me
You need help on your front crawl
If I did fall in the water I won’t need to wave I could shriek lol
2:44
Flutter kick
breastroke kick
and biycicle kick
oh..oh..I will try all..
guess who drank 500ml of water today
You. LoL
He is the master of treading, he is doing so smoothly, I am trying this for the last one and half months but without success...!!!
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Those who ask is do not know how to swim sheet commenters
