    I learnt swimming at 45. Because of severe fear of water and the deep, it took me over 2 months to become comfortable with just floating and standing in water. People laughed but the perseverance has paid off. I am very glad I learnt how to swim.

      I almost drowned in my high school swimming pool (about age 16 or 17), and I haven't been in a pool since. Although that was very traumatic for me, I would still like to learn.

    I wanted to learn how to swim, but the classes were pretty expensive. So i looked up tutorials online and found this video. Long story short after 10 mins, i got very comfortable with floating and now I'm even swimming a bit. Thanks for sharing this lesson

  • @selcenocal
    @selcenocal 9 месяцев назад +20

    27 year old here 👋🏻 I took swimming lessons two years ago by a very disrespectful teacher who undermined my fear of the water. Although I was determined how to swim so I decided to enjoy it. She didn’t teach me how to stay afloat and my head out of water first. I was introduced into the pool with my head in at all times. 😐 I couldn’t even bring myself to be in the middle of the pool at the end of my lessons. Always reaching out for the wall basically hugging it.
    This year, I’ve decided to go on vacation and try to learn how to swim bc I’ve come across this video. I was afraid of the pool, so I tried these moves in the sea where it was shallow bc sea makes you float easily. After three days, I was basically trying to coordinate my arms and legs better. I got more comfortable in the water I was able to play around. Another three days later i decided to get in the pool and I just found myself swimming freely with my head out first. And then I tried out putting my head in and just breathing out and now I can just swim. It’s unbelievable for me. Thank you for the instructions and thank god i’ve come across this video 🎉😊

Is it surreal that you dont have to work your muscles to be stable? Please tell me why, some of my friends cant swim and they are very insecure about it so i cant approach them.

    1 week update: Now I can swim smoothly. but still perfecting it more. It takes time guys!!! and determination.
    Update: I can swim now :) atleast I won't drown now whenever there is a flood or an unfortunate incident.

    I am new to swimming, but it has been one of my decade old dream. I started training, then I came across this video and applied some of the techniques which really helped me get my last session right impressing my Trainer. lolz I am glad I watched it and following more - I would like to kindly suggest on making videos about breathing role in swimming. Thats probably one reason I couldnt get it right until my last session. You watch so many videos' where they dont technically guide you on where to control breathing, because in reality, beginner swimmers like myself use their own which is incorrect in most of the cases.

    Good instructions. Simple. Not sure some people said they are death if doing. I use this technique to teach my wife how to swim. It works.

    This is a good video. The way I was taught to swim, my friend’s brother told me to take a deep breath and try to sink down by curling into a ball. I couldn’t. From there he said as long as you have air in your lungs and you’re not trying to swim down you won’t go under and it’s just about using your arms and legs to move around and keep your head above. I started swimming instantly from that moment.

      It was a cookout pool party with several families. Just because you can’t swim doesn’t mean you can’t hang out at the shallow end.

      Let me know!! This might not work for people who have a particularly low body fat percentage but it should work for most. Just of course be sure to try in the shallow end. Good luck!! 🤞

    Great video. Straight to the point. Totally non-pretentious, no a** hanging out, nothing like that. Thanks. I was watching a woman's learn to swim video, and she was all about her behind hanging out and showing off for the cameras.

    I've been swimming for so long, I forget there are people who need a tutorial to swim.
    Just keep at it, yall. Swim with someone who knows how to swim and can swim for two people. Keep your lungs at least half filled with air. Swimming is about using your arms more than your legs (don't kick wildly, I know it's natural, but it's 80% arms). Stay in the shallow end until you're comfortable in the shallow. It's easier to move forward than stay in place. Don't panic if you fall in the water unexpectedly.

      This point is really worth noticing for the beginners that our hands give 80% propulsion and our legs no more than 20%

      I want to gain confidence in swimming in deep water and also swimming fast lol. I think it's my form and that I keeps messing me up. My legs keep sinking. How do I overcome this fr?

    • @claytonhawk8512
      @claytonhawk8512 Год назад +5

      @@yagirl_tola It might be one of two things. One, you're not straightening your back enough as you propel forward (your back should be almost tense trying to keep your back straight), or two because you're not kicking enough. Don't kick too much cuz you'll wear yourself out, but it should be enough they begin to partially penetrqte the surface behind you.
      Another thing, if you swim by keeping your face above the water the entire time, that would be a cause too. Experienced swimmers doing the front crawl swim keep their faces down in the water, and surfacing their face every second stroke in order to take a breath. That technique allows them to remain streamlined in the water.
      Hope it helps.
