@kkkrisada2 жыл бұрын
@@rundown132 5 lessons. I learned how to kick (position of feet in the water/toes; did drills with kickboard). Freestyle hand technique: This took 2 lessons on its own as there are so many element I had never know (stages of the arm movement, elbow position, keeping my body mass narrow. Did drills with floaty between my legs). Breathing was harder for me than I realised, I found it psychologically odd learning to take more shallow breaths (opposed to trying to hold my breath for dear life for fear of drowning), as well as head positioning during breaths, he taught me to create a little pocket of air with a head tilt that allowed me to breath while half my face was stl underwater (for a non-swimmer that was mind blowing). Then there was combining it together for a consistent and flowing movement. Overall, it completely re-taught me how to swim, realising for 30 years I was doing it ALL wrong

@FifalianaFR2 жыл бұрын
@@na-dk9vm my biggest issues, other than lack of technique was that my butt and leg sink making it really hard to cover distance and I used to think that I need to breath every 4 strokes. I fixed it by using sim short every other training (or buoyancy short, those neoprene shorts) and it helped ne be more flat. I also decided to take a breath every 2 strokes. Making the long distance more sustainable. And finally I work out my arms outside of water to get some strength. I also had some friends telling me what's wrong with my techniques. Anyway, I tried and watched everything I could. My goal was to do olympic distance triathlon this year.

Never swam before and I am 68 and taking swimming lessons three times a week. I just got goggles that are for ocean swimming, tempered glass that are anti fog. This makes a big difference. My teacher takes video’s of me and sends them to me so I can see what I am doing right or wrong. Those goggles have a nose thing because I just can’t handle water going in my nose, it just creeps me out. It is hard being coordinated with the breathing, but I will not give up!

I am a senior adult newbie learning since mid 2021. It took using floating belt and snorkel for a long time to get over sinking fear. It took a long time using snorkel while practicing form to get everything aligned. It took a very long time to get breathing right while not affecting everything else. Now I can breathe bilaterally while cutting thru water without much splashing. I also swim breaststroke well, don’t get tired doing longer distance.

Get that and with it comes the breathing and then I relaaaaax but that only happens occasionally!

You need to practice folding knees towards chest while pushing arms downwards. When knees are close to chest, butt drops downwards automatically, thus facilitates planting feet on pool floor. Your eyes should continue to look down until your feet are under you. Left your head last when your body is upright and arms by your side.
