If you exhale all the air in you, you will sink. At least I do. I would always wear a Jet Ski PFD USCG certified life jacket. You don't do anything and it floats you.

[@emilywip]

Just tried it this morning and after some trial and error, I could finally float and look upwards (my dream!!!). Thank you so much. This is such a simple and effective tutorial.

I am 50 and learned swimming last month. Though I was quite sceptical in the beginning but since I started floating within four days, I didn't let go the momentum. And without any doubt, KZbin videos have kept me motivated. Being from a teaching field, I adopt the self-directed learning approach which is suitable for adult learning. Follow the areas you want to improve as per your instinct and work upon them. Now I am regularly doing 30 breadths daily and building up my strength.

[@run3426]

Never give up and Believe that you can do it!

[@freespirit7328]

Wow. 30 breadths/day in A month at 50..i means salute to your motivation and Methodology👏👏👏 However ,even when being senior to Me in age..u r lucky that u r learning in the age of KZbin videos and easy Internet. Beast of luck!👍👍!!

[@geekmeee]

😮 WOW... When I was in high school the PE coach tried to teach me to swim for 2 years.... I don’t remember him telling me ANY of these things! I just thought I couldn’t swim. Looking at these clear instructions (which make sense) I am motivated to go out and give it a try! ...This looks like a blast... That I’ve needlessly been missing!!... I am convinced now, EVERYBODY should learn how to swim.

[@timothyjohnson9799]

I'm 54 yrs old learning to swim. This video is very very helpful.I wish I'd seen it before my first attempt at back float in a swim class, because I had a terrible experience recovering to standing position. Now I know the hand movement is the opposite to front float recovery!!

[@ferea8414]

I learned how to swim last month and I am 51. I was scared of water.

[@yashvintackoory2893]

Fere A i am 30 and learning to swim now. I really enjoy the challenge and regret not having tried earlier. There were 6 yrs old kids in the pool.

[@ritujaharidas259]

I like this chat thread. Please do share how your experience was and what worked for you. I am 24 and regret not learning how to swim when I was a child. I have made various scenarios of myself dying in water and that's very disturbing because I really do want to learn how to swim!

[@yarapolana]

My deepest fear is drowning, my nightmares were about tsunamis, pools etc. I started learning last week and I had my first dream about deep waters and I wasn't afraid. I am 30 and I feel like only now its the right time to face my fear =) I couldn't have done it earlier, my state of mind wasn't ready.

[@dustmite723]

That’s awesome! You are so brave! Swimming is the best 😊

[@caramelbilquees]

Well Done

[@askarvin]

Loved the video. As a non swimmer and having a deep fear for water, these tips will certainly help me. I can absolutely relate to the non swimmer mistakes. Thank you so much for creating this great video.

Love this Vedic great way to get started

[@interceptfist]

wow this was a great video! my swimming instructor did not even mention some of these things! KZbin wins again. Subscribed! thanks! next class I'm going to apply these things to better float and hopefully can glide too.

[@ayabaheera]

Thank you! I'm a beginner swimming and have been struggling for years trying to float. I learned how to somewhat glide beneath the surface. But I hardly went anywhere because of my lack of knowledge how to work. Finally it makes sense! Thank you again!

[@dakota4890]

your lucky because I can barley even float😂

[@ayabaheera]

Is that hard to believe? Swimming doesn't come easily for everyone.

[@JoanKSX]

You are not alone. Me too, trying years to float then only to know that I have to hold air in my lung in order to float OMG biggest discovery for the mystery why I could never able to float LOL

[@ABprecious1]

I am 70 yrs old learning to swim. I can not float on my back I am so afraid. i can do front float pretty well. I have fear of water. this was a good video. Thanks.

[@lukeiprasetiawati8960]

O my God, i have been trying to float on water many times, but it never worked well. I watched this video the other day and got into the pool today. Finally, I learn how to float. Thank you so much, this video is VERY helpful.

[@charlesclements4350]

You might want to add a segment about neutral buoyant person whose upper body would float but their feet would sink down. They would try to achieve the exact same result as the positive buoyant person and would believe that they have failed when they really have succeeded.

[@kventinho]

i have this 'problem'! So what you're saying is that i have succeeded, and that this is not a problem?

[@markeshiaricks]

Exactly this. Floating with your legs down is still floating!

[@davidmclean1134]

This what i do, every time i try to float my legs slowly sink, how do I stop this from happening?

[@proxyzov]

@@davidmclean1134 late answer but if ur freestyle swimming keep your head down since your head and legs need to be in the same position. if your head is looking forward you sink since it is out of position.

[@ganeshram863]

[@welalina]

Very useful tips for beginners. This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@CS-wc2uz]

Worth noting that natural buoyancy varies greatly in individuals. So people who don't have especially good natural buoyancy shouldn't be discouraged from swimming, even if they have trouble maintaining a prolonged prone float.

[@martinsprince2535]

[@jemigiwa4528]

D Monk EXACTLY!!!!!!! I couldn't master how to float on my back until a guy who looked like that (lean, tall, dense heavy bones) gave me tips on how to do it. I think it's harder for lean tall people.

[@Athithi7]

I'm 6'2 and 190 pounds and lean as well Guess what even I sink no matter how hard I try to float. There are people with higher fat happily floating beside me. It sucks. One place where fat helps

Most of the instructions videos just show how to back float. But don't explain how to get back to standing position. I am so glad I found it in this video's 05:50 part. Thank you very much.

Great Explanation. I was committing the same mistake, but now I improved and able to swim easily. Thanks alot

[@kshirr2]

thanks for teaching me how to properly dismount from the float positions! I was sinking out of my forward float.

[@AlbaderBohamad]

I love this channel, because I really like and enjoy swimming (I just spend 8 hours at the pool today). However, what really makes me love this channel is that it offers me the proper technique and it is demonstrated physically and stated verbally in a specific and perfect way with high quality audio and video, and I can access this knowledge whenever and I want. The only downside of this compared to having an instructor with you at the pool is the lack of feed back to your swimming and your questions. But this is still better than what I'm getting from my instructor... Because my instructor trains like 10 or more people at the time from different levels of swimming skills and he barely gives feed back because of the many people that he's "supposedly" "instructing"... Also, he doesn't care all that much about those who are seemingly trying to improve themselves out of love for swimming and dedication. He o ly focuses on newcomers and those who like to Co plain about how the technique is hard or like to just chatter to waste time and such... I ask for feed back of how I'm doing and also for redemonstration of the proper way of doing a certain technique so that I make sure I'm doing it right and am not practicing wrongly... It really pisses me off seeing that I'm not getting proper instructing because I'm dedicating myself while others are complain, therefore they're the ones who need attention. I think it's ultimately the gym's fault, because instructing session (yes one singular session a day) is just 30 onites short only

[@syverexion]

Who are those ungrateful freaks who keep giving a thumbs down to helpful videos like these. If you think you're better at swimming and teaching it, just make your own videos and leave other supposedly inferior ones alone. Anyways, thank you to the maker of this video. I gave you a thumbs up, your video is really helpful and great.

[@amanygomaa9369]

This is an update about how to recover to standing position from back float, and yes, it worked, you just need to do it fast to overcome the tension of the water that made me feel like stuck to the surface of the water. try it few times, you will get it.

[@LJ_adventure]

As someone who is taught to swim as an infant I always thought that swimming was natural to humans but I've been going down a rabbit hole of adults learning how to swim and I'm learning the opposite, that swimming is not innate but instead it is a learned skill. It's fascinating to learn the components of swimming that I just do automatically

[@RobGams]

Great, straight forward video. I find my legs are not floating to the top or surface of the water and I’m already holding my breath and looking down. Any tips to get my legs higher up when floating? Thanks!

I never thought about an adult learning to swim. So without being taught, when they try to go from a backfloat to standing, if you don't do your arms right you will just kinda spin, do people actually do that if they are learning? Or is it pretty natural to not do it? I am trying to compare it to skydiving, since i didn't skydive as a baby, i would try and use my arms, legs and body to control my fall in the wrong way and just go tumbling out of control. I guess the same would be true for a new swimmer.
