I watched many videos from the others. But you really teach how to do those! Thank you so much.

[@easyflowing]

I am glad you found my videos helpful! Thank you for your compliment. What exactly are you working on these days in swimming?

[@므하핫-x6t]

I can dare to say this madam's teaching points are absolutely basic and crucial.I should've known these focal points earlier.Even though I am a long distance swimmer, I am not able even to float on my back either on my belly.I didn't even know what the keep balancing means in the water.Thanks so much, Ma'am!

[@easyflowing]

Please keep me posted about your progress in basic swim skills.

[@SandeepGupta-kz8ul]

I really like the way you teach (very softly). Thank you very much.

[@easyflowing]

Now that is the kind of specific help that I need. Thanks a million!! Any flutter kick video?

[@easyflowing]

It's a pleasure! I have a few! All of those videos have to do with flutter kick: These two videos are actual lessons with a student with a fear of water. There are 14 lessons all together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2HTY2BppcqnY7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/i32rfIl5dp19aKM This one is the first out of ten lessons with a student who had to get ready for a 1.2 mile swim in open water: Triathlon Swimming Lessons: kzbin.info/aero/PLlni5Zb5tjJnTs8E77X-uUYJp96kzd3WZ These are separate tutorials for flutter kick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57CgoWBgpx_otE kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2O6opSbfN5geKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPQc4ijlrGGeLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ7ZhayEnNehsKM

Hello, I am brasilien and I so very thanks for your videos.

[@easyflowing]

Viva Brasil! You are very welcome! Thank you for your comment 🙏

Hi, this is an old video but I’m hoping you respond. I’m learning to glide now in beginners swimming class but I struggle with my balance and feels wobbly almost like I’m falling over and have to stand up. The same thing happens when I use a kickboard and try to add arm movements. As soon as one hand comes off the kickboard I struggle to keep horizontal. Any suggestions is appreciated thank you x

[@easyflowing]

Hello @LavenderAnime211 yes, I am still here. The disbalance you are describing is due to your gluteus muscles (your buttocks) and your abdominal muscles not being tightened enough. Next time you glide or kick, squeeze your butt and engage your abs, and please let me know if it helps you with your balance. These exercises will help you learn how to engage your muscles for a streamline position: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmOZdJ18pbukjNU

[@LavenderAnime211]

Thank you so much for responding. I'll try practicing the exercises and try them in my next swimming class x @@easyflowing

[@easyflowing]

Any time! I'd love to hear how it goes.

[@lwnz90190]

Hey just want to ask do you need to breathe out in nose while gliding? Thank u

[@easyflowing]

Hi. Thank you for your question. Whenever the head is in the water, exhaling should always be out through the nose, inhaling is threough the mouth in order to make it a habit. When the habit is established, if the head is at an angle, where water doesn't get in the nose on its own, then, exhaling can be through the mouth or both, through the mouth and the nose at the same time, depending on how forceful the exhale needs to be.

[@payalvarandani1321]

Great technique 👌🏻

[@easyflowing]

Thank you 🙏 Have you tried it?

[@payalvarandani1321]

@@easyflowing yes I just learnt floating and gliding this week and realised that the back arch thing really helps bring the body in a line. Your gliding is really smooth 👌🏻

[@easyflowing]

Congratulations!!!! Learning to float and to glide is a big deal! What are you going to learn next?

[@payalvarandani1321]

@@easyflowing thank you 💝 it does feel very satisfying to progress. Next will be flutter kicking and then free style swimming. Hoping to work on my kics now 😁

[@easyflowing]

Enjoy the process!!! ❤

[@Nurs3Kris10]

Is your whole head under water during the glide?? I struggle with that.

[@easyflowing]

The face is in the water; the water should just cover your ears. The main thing is to tuck in your chin without dropping your head down. In this position, you should be able to hold your breath without letting the water in your nose. If you properly tuck in your chin, it will also help you activate your abdominal muscles, which will make your glide smoother. Where is it comfortable for you to keep your head during the glide?

[@Nurs3Kris10]

Dream To Swim Thank you! I can get my face in, but not my whole head...yet lol I usually get water in my ears too 😩

[@easyflowing]

Water in your ears is a normal thing, even though it’s a bit inconvenient. In this video, I teach how to get the water out of your ears: Swimming Lessons For Adults. How To Get Water Out Of Your Ears kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3vSkpt3jd6Zb5o

[@easyflowing]

To get your whole head under water, you might want to start with the basics: Swimming Lessons For Adults. Breathing In Water For Beginner Swimmers. Tutorial From Synchro Swimmer kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOlpHWbmp2AftU Swimming Lessons For Adults. BOBS- Breathing In Water For Beginner Swimmers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nITQZ31up9Wsi7c These two videos will guide you through the process and you should be able to do it with ease.

[@easyflowing]

It does sound like you have a bit of fear of water. This is the first video of my series where my client with a fear of water is learning swimming in open water. In this video, I teach him correct breathing and how to get his head under water, along with exercises for floating and some other skills: From Fear Of Water To Swimming In Deep (Open) Water:“Breathing, Bobs, Floating & More” [E1] kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6TKqqaYjrdsf7M

[@osarumenamadin1944]

[@easyflowing]

I am glad that my videos are helpful, thank you very much! I will film more videos when I am able to go to that pool again.
