Treading Water Drills

[@srirambalasubramanian7370]

Sculling in shallow water with knees bent will save a lot of trouble while learning. I have watched too many videos on sculling, but no one teaches this technique. I strained my hands and shoulders in deeper water and had to take 3 days off from swimming. Today I’m gonna go for swimming. This video is a boon for me. Thanks.

[@luluk2112]

very good videos explaining these techniques because he shows you the scientific reason behind it as opposed to just telling you what to do...great video

[@johnstaley2519]

I like the way you explain the proper technique in all your videos....Thx again

[@arijohn4138]

I guess you're a pro at it now :)

[@debarupade343]

Watched the previous video on treading water that was very helpful, thanks for this one as well!

[@Yoko.Kurama]

I've never seen this kind of "stomping" technique for treading. It looks simple. I will try

[@suwanatatnina]

Thank you for the lesson. I learn the side guiding technic from you and combine with freestyle. I can swim now. This time I hope be able to tread the water. Great lesson!

[@allancastro7508]

Wow! Thank you for this sir Chris. Great help for me

[@RockyValentino2013]

Brilliant, going to practice this. Thank you.

[@sunildl5751]

your videos are very helpful...Thank you Mr.Chris...

[@InspirationIsFree]

Thanks for this video, been trying to work on my egg beater kick for a while and this looks like an easy to follow way to work up to it. I'm going to try this out next time I hit the pool!

1 00:00:00,675 --> 00:00:07,838 In my previous Treading Water video, we discussed using your hands like the blades of a fan to create downward pressure in the water. 저번 입영(물 밟기, treading water) 비디오에서는, 손바닥을 선풍기 날개처럼 이용해서 물속에서 하강 압력을 생성하는 법에 대해 말씀드렸습니다. 2 00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:13,252 We also discussed the leg motion used in egg-beater kick. 또한, 달걀 차기(egg-beater)에서의 다리 움직임에 대하여 말씀드렸고, 3 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:17,526 Then we combined arms and legs together. 마지막으로 팔 움직임과 다리 움직임을 결합했었습니다. 4 00:00:18,975 --> 00:00:22,662 Still, that doesn't necessarily mean we're ready to jump into the deep end. 하지만 아직, 깊은 물 속에 뛰어들 준비가 된 것은 아닙니다. 5 00:00:23,479 --> 00:00:28,903 If you're just a beginner, you want to practice these skills in the shallow end and then work your way deeper. 만약 여러분이 초보자라면, 얕은 곳에서 그 기술들을 연습한 후에 점점 깊은 곳으로 옮겨가야 할 것입니다. 6 00:00:30,557 --> 00:00:35,829 If you feel uncomfortable in the water, just start in relatively shallow water working with your hands. 아직 물속이 편하지 않다면, 그냥 비교적 얕은 곳에서 양손 훈련을 시작하십시요. 7 00:00:36,363 --> 00:00:40,280 Feel the water against the palm of your hands as you move them back and forth. 손을 벌렸다가 모았다 움직일 때 손바닥에 물의 압력이 느껴지도록 하십시요. 8 00:00:42,979 --> 00:00:46,657 Next, sit down into the water while continuing to work the arms. 그런 후, 팔 움직임은 계속하면서 물속에 앉으십시요. 9 00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:49,920 Think about the feel of the water against your hands. 손에 닿는 물의 느낌을 잘 생각해보세요. 10 00:00:50,409 --> 00:00:54,853 From this position, try lifting your feet off the bottom of the pool periodically. 이 자세에서, 가끔 수영장 바닥에서 발을 떼어 들어 올려 보세요. 11 00:00:55,565 --> 00:00:57,980 You may have to quicken the pace of your hands. 손을 움직이는 속도를 더 빠르게 해야 할 것입니다. 12 00:01:00,289 --> 00:01:05,255 For a few seconds at a time, bring your legs out in front of you or tuck them to your chest. 한 번에 몇 초씩, 다리를 앞으로 쭉 들어 올리거나 가슴에 붙여보세요. 13 00:01:06,012 --> 00:01:12,144 As you lift your feet off the bottom, the pressure against your hands should increase as they begin to hold more of your weight. 두 발을 바닥에서 들어 올리면서, 더 무거운 무게를 지탱해야 하므로, 손바닥에 걸리는 압력을 더 증가시켜야 합니다. 14 00:01:13,132 --> 00:01:16,208 Take a nice breath in, as you pick your feet up off the bottom. 두 발을 바닥에서 뗄 때, 숨을 충분히 들이쉬세요. 15 00:01:16,651 --> 00:01:18,486 This will help you be more buoyant. 더 잘 떠 있을 수 있게 됩니다. 16 00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:24,228 It's not the speed of your stroke that keeps you afloat. 손을 빨리 젓는다고 해서 잘 떠 있게 되는 것은 아닙니다. 17 00:01:24,662 --> 00:01:28,240 Slow and smooth motions beat fast and stiff motions. 느리지만 부드러운 동작이, 빠르지만 뻣뻣한 움직임보다 낫습니다. 18 00:01:33,537 --> 00:01:36,681 I may be working harder on the left but I'm sinking. 왼쪽 화면에서 더 부지런히 움직이지만, 가라앉고 있습니다. 19 00:01:39,402 --> 00:01:43,574 Next, we'll head to neck deep water and practice the arms and legs together. 다음은, 목까지 올라오는 깊은 물 속으로 가서 팔과 다리를 동시에 연습하겠습니다. 20 00:01:44,325 --> 00:01:44,857 Stomp! 밟고! 21 00:01:45,285 --> 00:01:45,848 Stomp! 밟고! 22 00:01:46,494 --> 00:01:46,879 Out! 벌리고! 23 00:01:47,183 --> 00:01:47,856 Together! 모으고! 24 00:01:48,104 --> 00:01:48,762 Stomp! 밟고! 25 00:01:49,001 --> 00:01:49,599 Stomp! 밟고! 26 00:01:50,082 --> 00:01:50,515 Out! 벌리고! 27 00:01:50,957 --> 00:01:51,395 Together! 모으고! 28 00:01:55,263 --> 00:01:59,377 This also enables us to try treading where we can still safely stand. 이렇게 하면, 안전하게 설 수 있는 위치에서 입영(treading water, 물 밟기)을 해볼 수 있습니다. 29 00:02:00,032 --> 00:02:00,921 Give it a try. 한번 해보세요. 30 00:02:01,778 --> 00:02:04,561 And if you're struggling, you can always put your feet down. 힘들면, 언제나 발을 바닥에 댈 수 있습니다. 31 00:02:15,323 --> 00:02:18,213 When you feel ready, you can finally head to the deep end. 이제 준비가 되었다고 느껴지면, 마침내 깊은 물 쪽으로 가셔도 됩니다. 32 00:02:20,090 --> 00:02:22,096 Stay within arm's reach of the wall. 손을 뻗으면 벽을 잡을 수 있는 곳에 머무르십시요. 33 00:02:23,049 --> 00:02:25,406 Start with one arm along with your kick. 다리 밟기와 함께 처음에는 한 팔로 시작하십시요. 34 00:02:26,386 --> 00:02:27,753 And then add the other arm. 그런 후 다른 팔도 함께 하세요. 35 00:02:30,474 --> 00:02:32,940 You can always grab the wall, if you need to. 필요하다면, 언제라도 벽을 잡으십시요. 36 00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,751 A corner is another good place to practice. 모퉁이도 연습하기 좋은 장소입니다. 37 00:02:44,406 --> 00:02:45,686 Get those legs going. 다리 움직임을 먼저 시작하세요. 38 00:02:45,969 --> 00:02:47,217 And then add the arms. 그런 후 팔도 같이 움직이십시요. 39 00:02:47,882 --> 00:02:50,328 For safety, stay within arm's reach of the wall. 안전을 위해, 손을 뻗으면 벽을 잡을 수 있는 곳에 머무르십시요. 40 00:02:51,297 --> 00:02:55,031 I hope this video has given you a game plan for learning how to tread water. 이 비디오를 통해, 여러분이 입영(treading water, 물 밟기)하는 법을 습득하는 방법과 절차에 대해 깨달으시기를 바랍니다. 41 00:02:55,686 --> 00:02:57,019 Thanks for watching. 시청해주셔서 감사합니다.

[@wtsingc3427]

this video is very helpful for me to learn how to tread water. Great

[@khairalubna3194]

thank you mr. chris, that is really help me...

[@Shazam999]

This is mostly correct. However you should mention that your feet should be pointing upwards. That will make it much easier. Also it is vital that you spin your legs in the correct direction (right goes ccw, left goes cw) or else you will pull yourself down.

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

I go into more detail on those points in How to Tread Water (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmmlaVprLeBas0). The purpose of this video was to provide drills that beginners could use to work their way up to independent treading.

[@SoundsFromSound]

Great video!! This was perfect for learning the eggbeater in more details and drills! Could you consider maybe making a similar video like this but for treading with breaststroke/frog kick? Maybe show some drills to master the tread step by step just like you did for the eggbeater? That would be so helpful. Thanks for sharing this video with us, it was perfect!

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

Maybe, these other videos of mine might help. Let me know if this is what you're looking for. Breaststroke Kick Drills - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGeUn3iPisdolZI Breaststroke Beginner Drills - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGGbeKOYdq2Mjdk

[@SoundsFromSound]

Chris Burton I just actually watched those this afternoon! Very helpful. That's what inspired me to ask about treading. Just thought maybe seeing the breaststroke kick in a treading situation may help to visualize the tread in a vertical mindset, rather than horizontal on the water. Maybe? Great videos! Thanks again for making all these for the community.

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

A relaxed back float with some easy finning/sculling is just as good from a safety perspective. Keep working at it. You'll get it!

[@rowenaflores4535]

Thanks coach for a helpful tips,i will try it..

[@wkb8409]

Nice teaching video. Thx.

[@Qtr2h8]

great video Chris, but I'm still having trouble staying above the water, have to tread like a maniac just to keep a float, and there's no way I can stay up with just using my legs. Any advice?

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

You may still be tensing up too much. Don't turn your muscles into rocks. Use relaxed, fluid motions. Kicking while treading is different than kicking with a kick board. If you're doing flutter kick with a kick board, I'd tell you to point your toes. When treading, it's more like we're stomping on the water with bottom of your foot. Keep your legs underneath you, don't bring your knees up to your chest. I have another treading video that will show you what I mean (How to Tread Water - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmmlaVprLeBas0). Keep working at it!

[@sunalharbi]

Great,, Thank you

[@jimburt3274]

thanks for the help

[@abumaryam3750]

Thank you very much. i have fear while Im swimming .any idea

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

Have patience with yourself. Take pride in small accomplishments. Try to find a position or stroke where you feel safe. For example, when I'm teaching kids freestyle with side-breathing, I'd rather have them switch to a back-float if they are struggling than grab the wall or the lane marker. Don't rush. Learning to swim takes time and patience.

Ejercicios para flotar en el agua (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSZmZ5vbbV8ptU) - Aunque mi anterior video sobre flotar en el agua se enfocaba en la técnica, este video contiene ejercicios que se pueden usar para avanzar gradualmente hacia flotar de manera independiente.

[@eaglegl]

Very well explained, I can swim but only up to 1.5 deep water, more than that n i panic when my feet can`t touch the floor. My local swimming pool is 1.7m deep which is not that much, i go to that depth only when the lifeguard is watching me so i feel confident. I can swim all strokes but no confidence in deep water. Any advice for building confidence in deep water. Please reply n thanks in advance.

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

+Nas K - If you can swim all the strokes, you are a relatively competent swimmer. While I suppose you fear drowning, you're not going to spontaneously sink as the water gets deeper. Your floats, glides, and strokes will work no matter how deep the water is. What is you favorite or best stroke? Perhaps, you could transition to this stroke when you feel anxious. I usually suggest backstroke or back floats since you don't have to worry as much about timing your breathing. What actual events would cause you to panic? Swallowing water? A cramp? Come up with a game plan for how you would deal with these events, and then practice it. For example: If I swallow water, I'm going to tread water for 10 seconds and cough it out. Then, I'm going to roll to my back and rest in a floating position for 20 seconds. When you feel anxious or stressed outside of the pool, how would you deal with it? Would singing a favorite song inside your head help calm you down? Anxiety can impact your stroke efficiency if you start to tense up. Think about ways that you can stay calm and relax. Hope this helps. With kids, I generally come up with games or use toys to get their mind off their fear.

[@eaglegl]

+Chris Burton! thank you so much for your fast reply and a detailed explanation. You really pointed out my problem (anxiety) and how to remedy it. I love back stroke and breast stroke, and I can tread water n I find it very relaxing, n people often tell me I look very relaxed when I m swimming. From now on I will keep this in mind not to think about the deep water any more but instead to remind myself of some exotic holidays that I had been to. I m sure this technique will work, I think its such a great idea to divert the attention from fear to relaxations. will let you know, and again thank you so much. Good night n God bless.

[@dave101t]

getting nervous watching after 2:30.... ive watched enough videos to try it tho!

[@ichsanh.pranoto8647]

Please transfer that skill to me .... Yesterday, i just finished backstroke vertical until 1 minutes treading water ... But, still fail in egg beater and your vertical treading water technic ...

[@ChrisBurtonSwims]

+Ichsan H. Pranoto - Keep working at it. It won't happen overnight. Here's another video that describes the egg beater kick (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmmlaVprLeBas0 - How to Tread Water). If the egg beater kick just isn't working, you can try an exaggerated flutter kick, more of a running motion, or breaststroke kick. Egg beater kick is just generally considered the most efficient method, but if you stay relaxed, the other kicks will work as well.

[@ichsanh.pranoto8647]

Appreciate that ... Thank you, my favourite coach ... :)
