Day 1 - Adult Beginner Swimming Lessons - How To Swim in 4 Days For Beginners

[@ydvyas]

No instructor could crack the code that Jonny did during my swim lessons with him a few weeks ago. Best swimming coach ever! I corroborate his remarks about beating the fear by lowering one’s body in the water at the beginning of this video. This totally did the trick for me. I’m so grateful for the significant increase in my comfort level while in the water which is allowing me to advance in my swimming journey. All thanks to Jonny at Rocket! 🙌🏽

[@RocketSwimming]

Wow, your comment just made my day! It’s amazing what a little shift in technique can do for building confidence. It means the world to know that my approach helped you. Remember, every step forward is a victory, and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! Keep up the great work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need more guidance. You've got this!

[@MoniCakeAdventure]

you are amazing instructor. very patient. on my first day my instructor expected me to know this stuff and i have never been in pool before. watching me having trouble with standing no from backfloat she didnt even try teaching or going over to help me get it.

[@RocketSwimming]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to hear that my videos are helping you. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with your first instructor. Everyone learns at their own pace, and it’s so important to have someone patient by your side. I’m glad you’ve found my videos helpful for practicing on your own. Keep at it, and remember that progress, no matter how small, is still progress. You’ve got this!

I am 15 and I thought I am already too late, and I will never be able to learn how to swim, your video is giving me confidence to pursue my dreams of learning how to swim.

Hey I'm a 25 year old, who doesn't know swimming

[@osanusi1]

I am 61, so you are not too late. I just started. I didn't even know that I could float.

All the students he films seem like nice people , humble and dedicated … it’s true then when the student is ready the teacher will appear … thank you for these amazing and engaging lessons

[@RocketSwimming]

You are right! The students are amazing and supportive. They really get confident fast.

[@stevehilts4159]

As usual amazing teaching! Empathetic, compassionate coupled with a great instructional pace and a solid background of skills. I teach swimming at the local YMCA and give them my card for contact information. On the back I always write , Rocket Swimming so they can watch you and see the skills.

[@RocketSwimming]

Wow, thank you! You made my day with such sweet words. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing my channel. It means a lot to me. Please keep in touch.

[@vonnie2023]

l decided l needed to over come my fear of the water as l nearly drowned years ago. So last year at 60 years old, I did a 5 week swimming course, plus this year a 12 week course so that l could learn more techniques in swimming! l was truly lucky to have awesome teachers in both courses who helped me to overcome my fears and learn to love being in the water again whom l can't thank enough! l love watching your videos as l still love learning something new. You are an amazing instructor who truly cares for his clients plus teaching others who are watching. I am also subscribed, l tell people about your videos while l am in the pool and l share them too. 😀

[@RocketSwimming]

Wow, what an incredible journey! At 60, taking on not just one but two courses shows amazing dedication, and I’m so happy to hear you had teachers who supported you along the way. Thank you so much for sharing my videos and for your kind words.

[@vonnie2023]

@@RocketSwimming Awww thank you for your kind words too which bought a smile to my face.. l love being in the water as it helps my Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Sciatica and when I'm not able to go swimming due to pain, my body misses it a lot! Never thought I'd hear myself say that 😊 Again thank you for your kindness and dedication to helping us be the best we can be! 😊

[@whimsicalgolde]

I AM PROUD TO SAY I did the kicking the legs and moving my arms in one spot. Also, I got the floating thing down a little bit not used to it. But now... I can swim backwards, moving on my chest feels like falling hehe :3 I had help from someone else but he showed me the moving your arms back and forth angling the hands. I remembered your video on that and added kicking my legs. I was moving! I got movement (crying) I am so happy

[@RocketSwimming]

Oh my gosh, I’m SO happy for you!! It sounds like you're really finding your rhythm with the arm movements and kicks. Keep trusting yourself, and keep celebrating. Keep it up, and know I’m rooting for you every step of the way!

[@kruathaicookeryschool6872]

Amazing teacher 🙏🙏

[@RocketSwimming]

Thank you! 😃I really appreciate your kind comment.

[@graceong1432]

Thank you for making these videos. I have just started swimming lessons a week ago, and been back twice (1 hour each) to get familiar and comfortable in the water. So far so good, I left the kickboard on the side the last time and swam from the edge to the middle of the pool where I'm just about to touch the bottom. Still, I swam like a submarine - didn't know how to come up for air! But I have been enjoying fully submerge in the water and seeing through the goggles. Able to see clearly underwater makes a massive difference to me. Tomorrow I return for the second time. My membership at the local pool is 4x30 mins lesson a month, I know it isnt the same as learning to swim in 4 days but am taking it slowly and hope in 12 months I will be able to swim a set of laps across the full length of the pool, in one of the four strokes. Your videos help me a lot, to practise on my own using your tips outside of the lessons. Thank you for your encouragement to your students and patience in explaining.

[@RocketSwimming]

Wow, thank you for sharing your journey with me! It sounds like you're making amazing progress in such a short time. Clearly seeing underwater is like discovering a whole new universe, isn’t it? Don’t worry about swimming like a submarine; the fact that you're comfortable in the water is a huge step. Breathing will come with time and practice. You’re on the right track, taking it slow and building up your confidence and skills. I’m so happy that my videos are helping you along the way! Keep up the great work, and I’m cheering for you!

[@osanusi1]

Am glad that I am not the only one in this. We got this!

[@graceong1432]

@@osanusi1 I'm in London, UK. The pool that I go to is indoor, run by the local council. I wonder what it will feel like when the weather turns cooler! Thankfully it is indoors, so we don't get the breeze and the pool is maintained at a certain temperature. Hope you are enjoying the swimming lessons!

[@graceong1432]

@@RocketSwimming Had the second lesson and the instructor has got me to start incorporating the freestyle stroke arm movements. Then I practised two more sessions after that. I still have to use a float, (one hand holding the float, the other arm perform the strokes). Can't float without it, which of your videos would be helpful to watch please? Thank you.

[@Jihoo_World]

Your an amazing Instructor... I wish I had a instructor like you... Thank you for the wonderful lesson ❤️

I'm unable to sit up from backfloat😢 I learned recovery( to standup) from freestyle from your video. Backfloat is what I'm trying now. Somehwere I'm missing something.

[@RocketSwimming]

This video has a section for sit up and stand up from back float. Do practice the steps and keep me posted on your progress.

Thanks for watching! I'd love to visit Dubai someday. It's a beautiful place with amazing swimming pools. Maybe one day I'll do a swimming challenge there. In the meantime, keep watching and practicing, and I'll keep bringing you the best swimming videos!

[@lindamcghee3652]

How can I learn the breathing on my own without having someone hold me up. Do I use the fins or the float belts.

[@RocketSwimming]

You should learn to back float. I will link you the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGKrq5mjgMaLj9k

[@iman-alibeg3849]

Hey bro I became addicted to your channel when you were training that ex-marine, you got him swimming in 4 days! However I really have difficulty swimming because of the water getting in my nose, and I try to breathe underwater, but I don't last long. How do I find a good instructor like yourself? I live in the UK in a small city called Southampton, I have tried many instructors and I just don't like them, What is it that I am doing wrong? What should I be looking for and how do I find a good instructor?

[@jackdarby2168]

The main problem I think in trying to swim is lack of breath because it makes muddles you're thinking and you forget what you were supposed to do. I'm from the State of Kerala which is in India abd have been trying to take a side breath for weeks.

[@RocketSwimming]

I’m really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the channel! Working with Mark was really great. When looking for an instructor, I’d suggest focusing on someone who really listens to your concerns and is patient in helping you work through them. It’s not just about their technical skills, but also about how they make you feel in the water. A good instructor should make you feel comfortable and confident, like they’ve got your back every step of the way. Sometimes word of mouth can lead you to someone who’s a perfect fit for you. And hey, if you ever need more advice, I’m here to help! Keep going-you’ve got this!

[@iman-alibeg3849]

Also why cant I swim straight! I always seem to go to one side?

[@RocketSwimming]

It is most likely because of your head. Make sure your head position is neutral. Your head acts as a steering wheel when swimming.
