[@anaghakeer8298]

Thank you, Dan for the great tips on how to recover your standing position after the front float. I am so scared of letting go of the float but will try your technique today. Wish me luck 🤞 Thank you 🙏

[@perleromanesti6310]

Thanks a lot, really helpful for me as a beginner

[@mahafouad9322]

Thanks for your minute details..it helped me a lot

[@divyachengappa6650]

I was able to float with a help of floater.... without a floater I would sink, panic and be frightened. I just didn't know the right technique. It was god sent that I came across your vedio yesterday. I followed your advice and tips ....and I floated ...thank you so much. I am loving my freedom of getting over my fear. Looking forward for more of your vedios . Thank you.

Today i applied what i learned from this video and i am so happy to mention i overcome the fear of floating. Keep pushing these videos specially for beginners who face issues and don’t knw how to correctly rectify those.

[@surjitkalair8371]

Thank you 👍

[@pinayvlognepal]

Thanks for sharing your video ❤

[@lovefashro]

Wow these are amazing videos. I started learning swimming 1 month ago and struggling to understand some things. Your videos helped me so much. Will you do some videos on breathing for beginners? This is what I find the most difficult. I get out of breath and can never continue my front crawl.

[@danswimnyc]

You are welcome. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch [e-mail] You can find some tips about breathing on my Insta @danswimnyc

[@SamidhaVRevankar]

Great video! I've been learning since a week and I'm struggling hard to fight my fears. Whenever I float or glide, I try to hold on to something like a floater or the edge of the pool. I can float and glide with a floater or even if someone places their hand beneath my hands but I start panicking if I have nothing to grab with my hands. How should I deal with this? Please help!

[@danswimnyc]

It would help if you learned how to end the float correctly. If you don’t feel comfortable floating without any support you can stop your float anytime you have… Do not take off your feet from the bottom of the pool until you have your entire body inside the water. Keep your eyes open in the water when learning to float. Ask someone to stay right next to you so you can see their feet in the water, which should help you to realize that you are not alone and the water is shallow if you have to stop your float.

[@egret2813]

You try to hold on to a floater? Please explain ..

[@yogamayaa]

Hi did you overcome your fear. I am on the same boat. Any suggestions you have?

[@sumeraishfaq1468]

I was making the same mistake mentioned in this video. That's why I was stuck. Now, I will try to follow the instructions given in this video. Thank you for such an informative video.

[@nabanitadey2381]

Hi hope you overcame the fear. I joined swimming classes and the same is happening. I am just so scared to let go of the handle of the pool. I am hoping this will go once I am little confident. Pls share your experience.

[@jsonata]

Great video… very helpful for me.

[@chaitalichate7153]

I must say great tips, I was able to float with the help of a floater, but take that away and I would panic and kick my legs and hands and go down. It was almost 4 days of my swim class that I was trying to float unsuccessfully. Then i saw your video and kept it in mind when I went to the pool, and I could do it!! Floating was so cool and I'm so happy that I did it. Thanks a lot👍

[@supriyasingh210]

I really find it difficult to stop in the water i.e. getting my body from horizontal to vertical position and fall down. That has created a fear in my mind.What do I do?

[@hemumys]

I have the same problem , i find it very difficult to stand and lose ma balance and fall and I start panicking .

[@danswimnyc]

Practice doing it while holding the wall or someone’s hands first. Make sure you are keeping your face in the water until your feet are touching the floor. Most likely you are getting your face out of the water too soon

[@supriyasingh210]

@@danswimnyc Your suggestion was really of a great help . I am able to float and come back vertically on the ground. Thanks a lot :)

[@mariammohammed2004]

Same problem and I take too much time and doing dog baddel with my legs till touch the floor

[@teshomedesta3619]

I found it very helpful. Thanks

[@chiesap12]

Do you know any swimming schools that focus on floating in VA area? I can already swim but I want to focus on floating

[@MarthaMunger]

Hello Dan I'm a beginner and still trying to learn to float however I feel more relaxed floating on my back.. Your video has really given me some insight to practice in my next lesson Susan from South Africa 😂

[@danswimnyc]

Good luck with that. Sending greetings to South Africa from NYC

[@Isten2]

Thanks for teaching i am just a beiigenar and i am struggling with this now i will see if i can do it but thanks a lot😊

Hello Sir. I have been taking swimming lessons for about a month but I am not able yo float without support. With support I am able float and kick as well.. aas soon as I place my head inside water I just freak out..as soon as take my legs of the ground I feel I am sinking down. Please help me regarding this

[@nellybtn]

super helpful! you sold me some buoyancy 😄

[@danswimnyc]

[@LavenderAnime211]

My swimming coach tells us to interlock our fingers to get a perfect streamline but I struggle with my balance when I do this. I’ll try to keep my hands and feet slightly apart and see if this helps my balance. Thank you kind sir

[@danswimnyc]

If you feel yourself off balance use your core muscles to get adjusted in the water

[@Bouzytsy_Laitra2]

will get back tomorrow and update if I can float

[@Deepheera3]

Amazing tutorial, i hope now i can float

[@Lyondegreat]

That "tongue click + noice!" @ 00:20 caught me unaware 😂😂🤣🤣 Nice content. 😂👌

You mean (clicking tongue 👅 sound) noice?

Thank you Dan. I was unable to float for almost 2 weeks than I went through this video. It helped me so much and I started floating 😊

[@niranjanm5942]

you pointed all the things I am doing wrong. I figured few of them myself wish I had seen this earlier. Thanks for the detailed explanation

[@Tee-bq2po]

How can I breath through my mouth ?

[@rushikesh65]

When I try to swim in shallow water I don't know how to stay on my feet.It helped me a lot after watching this video thank you

[@simonmason297]

I don't float but sink to the bottom quickly.

[@danswimnyc]

Make sure you inhale as much air as you can before starting the float. Hold your breathe when floating. Look down while floating Keep your muscles as relaxed as it possible. Don’t point your toes down while floating

[@africaart]

​@@danswimnyc I would try your tip tomorrow (God Willing). Although I am heavy 90kg with muscles. 😢 When am in the water, if I spread my hand, my hands feels the upthrust or float but my body sinks.

[@neelimamishra7158]

Sir i am very much scared of swimming . Learning from 1 month. I cannot float and land on my own. I am scared that I will sink immediately. I am not able to learn. I learned how to float holding something at the end of pool. I cannot even walk to the middle of the pool. I cannot stand properly in water . I want to learn swimming but can't help it

[@MissSehar]

@@neelimamishra7158you need a lot of practice. The more you will stay in water, slowly slowly you will get confident. It will take some time just don’t lose hope.

[@bhagwati-indoria]

​@@neelimamishra7158hope you are doing better. I too started recently, my initial challenges were (1) Panicking, (2) CO2 tolerance. (1) Try staying calm and relaxed. (2) Try beating your precious record. Do bubbles exercise in between your float attempts. Just remember that to breath all you need to do is stand up.

[@Deepheera3]

I can end my float using a kickboard but when it comes to floating without Kickboard I'm lagging, suggestion please

[@danswimnyc]

Practice ending the float while holding the wall. Do not bring your head out of the water and your feet are placed against the floor. Make sure your knees towards your stomach opposed, pushing your heels towards your butt

[@tignanshumishra591]

how to take the breath then after realeasing the breath while taking the breath I am sinking

[@asmatabassumtoma1414]

Dear Dan, I can float but I can't stand up, can't end and fall down. Pls help me out

[@danswimnyc]

Make sure you don’t pick your head up before your legs touch the floor. I wish you could give me more info about what happens to you when you are trying to float. Can you please email me @ [e-mail]

[@MaryHunja-wv4hh]

Hope i will😢

[@aliensoup2420]

Yes, the first lesson in swimming : The purpose of swimming is NOT to stay above water. The purpose of swimming is to PROPEL yourself through the water. The purpose of FLOATING is to stay above the water. First you float, then you swim.

[@danswimnyc]

Nailed it perfectly

[@michelek3879]

If I did this down at my local pool the lifeguards would probably jump in thinking I'm drowning

[@speedo1105]

too bad we live so far apart but i would be one of your greatest challenges as my signature in the water is VERTICAL and no one has been able to help me float. i am a sinker and any flotation for a human is determined by their body density, specific gravity and you CANNOT change that. coaches, organizations, clinics, camps, etc. have never been able to make me a floater. i'm an 81year old usms competitor, 5' 8" 160 pounds with 15% body fat and i spend a lot of energy with kicking to get me anywhere near the surface of the water. the challenge is out there............................. what do i need to do???????????????????

[@danswimnyc]

Can you get in touch with me via email? I can try to help. [e-mail]

[@marsusan1959]

you r not alone, I am also in the same boat. Itried and tried long time now I am thinking of giving up I can float on my stomach but when it comes to back no chance.... -I am a sinker too.I am 65 years old and 70kg and 6.2". maybe my core muscle is too weak to hold . I hv no idea.

[@rehtse5127]

My coach tell me to get out my head onder the water to swim, i diden't get better kicking. What should i do?. I had three different coach two of them tiched me to get my face under during swimming get out the chin to breathe. But my actually coach dasen't me to swim that way. So kicking is my challenge i have to and i can't move and i frustated allway becouse i use noodles and belt to get bouyancy becouse we are in pool deep water. I have 3 months learning. Is very difficult to me learn to swim i think i'm very old for that. 52 years old.

[@danswimnyc]

If you have problems with buoyancy, keep your face in the water. Stop and breathe when you are running out of air. Please watch the video I have made about kicking and the mistakes we make when kicking. That should help

[@superdinkydoo]

52 52 I started last year after covid lockdown, I I am 76 . Stop flapping just relax and enjoy being in the water and gradually you will be more comfortable in the pool. Dont push yourself to swim let it come gradually. If you are trying too hard you wont be relaxed, take it slow there's no rush. Good luck .❤

[@bibibuu6646]

When I try to float on my stomach, I keep on twisting on my back. Why?

[@danswimnyc]

Muscles are too tense

[@africaart]

It's like superman flying 😅

[@sherrelfrost7529]

How do i get comfortable in the deep

[@danswimnyc]

Learn how to float on back. Learn breaststroke. Expose yourself for deep water swimig. Please be safe. . If you have any questions feel free to get in touch [e-mail]

[@jogmas12]

If you can do back float and roll over to a back float, this back is basically your safety “valve” when in trouble in deep water

[@rubykhan2226]

While floating should I hold my breath

[@danswimnyc]

You should hold you breath If you are trying to float, and not trying to come up for a breath.

Keep moving your arms and legs. It’s a common problem for muscular people

[@ayyappanprofile]

@@danswimnyc , I have the similar issue as because of muscular body. Do you meant kick and move the arm for floating?

[@stranger9951]

I have very low fat percentage.

[@danswimnyc]

Lucky you, we are jealous. Does it make you sink?

i can only float for like like 8 seconds then i drown. i have my sister with me, who also doesn’t know how to swim. its like blind leading the blind lol
