So we should always have some air in the lungs?

[@FLASK904]

@@colinmagnier1232 im my humble opinion, and how i was taught, you should blow out all the air in your lungs. However you should do it as a long consistent breath out, not just let it all out in one short burst. But when you go to take another breath, yes your lungs should be empty.

[@closedlane5027]

@@syifaasyazaa2744 the best thing to do is practice getting comfortable floating in a shallow pool before learning how to tread water.

I guess what I’ve been doing is trying to keep my head and SHOULDERS above water and I kept thinking that’s what you were supposed to do and when my shoulders went under water, I felt like I was sinking so I started to panic but this video showed that I’ve been doing it right all along. I definitely still NEED A LOT OF PRACTICE lol

[@LoiteringReaper]

The main problem I’ve experienced with floating on the surface of the water is understanding that what you think of as a straight body is not straight when you are in water. The pelvis needs to be pointed into the air and keeping a semi-tight core helps.

[@Gamlinessa]

I die when I’m away from the wall because I can’t tread for the LIFE OF ME

[@SWIMVICE]

Hi Vanessa. I totally understand where you’re coming from lol. It’s actually more about floating than actually treading. Once you find your buoyancy and are comfortable knowing your body will sink and bob up and down the rest is easy to understand. I would advise to spend your time in the cannonball formation demonstrated at the beginning of the video and just be suspended on the water so you feel your natural buoyancy. From there, spend time getting really comfortable floating in all positions - especially on your back. That is the first step before going into full tread mode. Hope this helps and definitely keep me posted! -Coach Mandy 🙌🏽🙏🏽🏊🏼‍♀️

[@matthewsoohoo6903]

Hi, we’re you able to get PADI certified? I’m working towards the same goals of getting scuba certified as well. So far, I can do the swimming portion but can’t properly tread water yet. I tried sculling with my hands and arms while doing the egg beater with my legs but for some reason, I can’t stay afloat above water and I keep sinking. Therefore, am I missing something? It’s weird because I can float above water for over 10 mins on my back but can’t tread water yet.

[@Foldpre]

@@matthewsoohoo6903 Same here. Were you able to get PADI certified? I get exhausted after treading for a couple of minutes, don't understand how others can do it for ten.

[@obie805]

I think the biggest part is to keep air in your lungs which I've never done while treading water but instinctively done while floating on my back.

[@michellesiciliano8101]

I’m currently taking lessons how to tread water and still face challenges to coordinate all steps even though I’m not afraid or panic at all while I’m under the water (I swim well) and that makes me frustrated a bit at myself (why?) There’s a middle-age man in the pool I see that he can tread the water for more than one hour with sculling & flutter kick and still looks effortless. I couldn’t explain myself why it’s still very challenging to me 😵‍💫

[@nidhigohel1546]

Thank you for this video, I was having trouble in treding water but now I will try to keep knees near body and not to keep it as vertical.

[@Jebbles1]

What's hard isn't breathing, it's really just the movements of the legs. For me personally, it's hard to focus on moving my legs correctly while also syncing my hands and arms AND my breathing. Loved the video nonetheless, it made sense, unlike many.

[@SWIMVICE]

LavaOreSheep yeah, I definitely understand. It’s having the coordination to move the arms and legs at the same time. However, in my latest video on treading, you can still tread with isolation just the legs or just the arms. I have it linked here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJekoGmdeN5sias Hope this helps shed more light on this subject. Enjoy your practice! -Coach Mandy

[@SWIMVICE]

Treading is more about floating than actually treading and being perfectly okay with sinking a little bit until you find your internal buoyancy. Once you’ve established that, you just move your arms and legs to feel the water and gently support yourself a little higher. Moving your legs is not where you get your most of the lift from since you will get very tired and it’s not as efficient 🙌🏽🏊🏼‍♂️ -Coach M

[@kj_plays5433]

SWIMVICE I cannot tread for long. Always sinking

[@wcsdiaries]

@@SWIMVICE Do you not get tired waving your arm/legs so fast?

[@SWIMVICE]

Not really because I don’t have much tension in my body. The only time it is tiring is having to move your legs and arms fast to lift your body out of the water as they do in water polo. But to just tread to stay in place you feel the water with slight resistance. The harder you work, the more resistance you create. I have another video going through the arm and foot motion for treading here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJekoGmdeN5sias Best, Coach Mandy

[@FLASK904]

Comfort is important. Your body movement in water is key, and the more comfortable you are the less tense you are, the easier it will be. Remember, its not about fast or hard, its about efficient. Small/Short and Choppy movements wont displace a lot of water and you will expel a lot of energy that way, longer smooth motions will go a longer way to displace more water and you wont be exhausted in a minute or two.

Panic and too afraid of deep water..Low stamina and its hard to keep my head above of water..

[@hannahbarrick2547]

Love this video! and it explains the steps really well. Whenever i've asked people before how to tread water the usual response is "it's easy! just move your legs" - which isn't very helpful when you're learning. I love floating like shown in step 1 of finding bouyancy and really comfortable with that. Floating on my back I find difficult at the moment as I tend to panic i'll go underwater when I feel myself turning onto my back and my legs lifting towards the surface, which obviously doesn't help, so I think that just needs practice then I can move onto learning to actually tread water.

[@SWIMVICE]

Hannah Barrick yes, it really comes down to becoming comfortable by establishing your inner buoyancy first (#1 priority). Once you are comfortable to safely float, then the rest follows. 🙌🏼🏊🏼‍♀️ Enjoy your practice Hannah and thank you for watching! -Coach Mandy

[@roytating4915]

Been trying it and had some progress, just need to control the fear of drowning so I can be more relaxed when in deep parts.

[@jogmas12]

No need to fear because you know that to prevent drowning just go to a horizontal position and glide (swim) towards the wall. Here what helped me. I would push off on my back from the wall, then, I would reversed my position, like you are doing a sit-up, now I’m swimming on my front, towards the wall. In between this transition, you momentarily do tread water for a brief moment as you roll forward. This is a great exercise/skill to learn. This help you obtain good body control in the water while incorporating treading

[@whitewalker608]

I am finding myself commenting on every tutorial of yours. Seriously. I'm a beginner and have completed learning freestyle in a month and gaining a little bit of stamina. Now, I want to be able to do breaststroke, swim underwater, come to the surface, flip, and tread. I've been consuming a lot of content for these both on reddit and other KZbin channels. I've found your content to be the best. You tell many things others simply don't very systematically and it's VERY EASY to just pick up your entire video and practice it in the pool the next day.

many swimming experts say the egg beater kick is not for beginners bcz is too complicated, there're other simplier kicking methods that beginners can use and still comfortably stay afloat for a long time and even move around in the water too

[@SWIMVICE]

You bring up a valid point. The egg beater kick can indeed be more intricate, and it's true that there are simpler kicking techniques suitable for beginners. It's crucial to assess each individual's background, comfort level, and specific goals when choosing a kicking method. I've taught beginners successfully using this approach, but I do recognize that there are various angles to consider. What's important is finding the technique that best suits the individual's needs and helps them feel confident in the water. It's a real case-by-case basis. I also have a video showcasing three different treading water techniques, which might be helpful in exploring various options. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vWlqebnppqpbMfeature=shared. Additionally, inside the SWIMVICE program, I've created a comprehensive treading water series that goes through the entire detailed progression. This provides a structured approach to mastering this important skill. You can find more information about the program at linktr.ee/swimvice.

[@tylersanders3818]

I used to do the T pose in the deep end to help train my lungs to carry more air. It’s not easy because you can’t exhale all or most of your air or you’ll sink because you’re just floating there with no movement at all.

[@Norascats]

Gaining 50 lbs helped a lot. My students like doing the ball float. Even the muscular men usually can float in that position.

[@Confidential619]

I always knew how to swim in straight line back and forth, it's just staying afloat was a little tricky. I would be able to do it but not for a long time, an I think that was because bad technique and moving a little too fast. Trying to get my best at swimming and all kinds of techniques.

Tina Marie really work on the buoyancy float first (in a shallow pool) so you learn how to relax and keep air in your lungs at the same time. If you are moving your arms and legs quickly, you will feel very awkward and you will not be able to relax. The major point of being able to be ok in deeper water is to learn your true buoyancy first. It may take some time but with patience, this will be the path to get you where you want to be.

I don’t understand when you say how much air to keep in your lungs to stay floated. In my mind, I’m thinking how am I suppose to enjoy swimming if I have to hold my breath constantly above water.

[@kellyc7902]

You can still breathe but I think she means don’t completely let all the air out of your lungs when you exhale or don’t do it for too long at least so that you don’t sink. Just breathe a little more air in than normal and a little faster so you don’t have too long of a period without air to keep you floating.

[@SWIMVICE]

Correct, you always have a reserve in your lungs at all times. Otherwise if you let out everything, you will sink and hyperventilate. You can still breathe and talk with only letting out enough air in and out without depleting your entire lung capacity. 🙌👍🏊‍♂️ Hope this helps clarify! Best, Coach Mandy

Hi Kaylee! It mainly has to do with breath control and learning how to relax in this moment without wasting energy from aggressively holding your breath and using your legs too much.

Do I have to be in water deeper than my height in order to practise treading water? I have long legs and need space to practise but I'm afraid of entering water deeper than my height.

[@SWIMVICE]

No, not at all. I highly advise to practice this skill in a shallow pool first. I have a recent video going through this skill and how to practice in a shallow pool. This way you are able to practice the movement before progressing to a deep environment. Your buoyancy is the same regardless. Here is the most recent video I have on treading water: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vWlqebnppqpbM Enjoy your practice Baxiz - Coach Mandy

You said you keep 50% of air in your lungs. How can you talk and not sink at the end. Please explain. Thanks

[@zvigier]

I learned how to float a week ago but I'm still learning how to tread and failing... I am comfortable on my back in the water lol . I can flutter kick backwards. tee hee

[@slindilengcobo3235]

I must say this egg beater movement is very confusing because the sculling doesn’t follow the same motion as the legs. Aai.

[@hannahmcsbu339]

I know how to tread water but I get tired easily and then will have trouble keeping my head up 😔

[@SWIMVICE]

Try and relax your shoulders and your breathing. Think light and relaxed legs as well! 🙌🙏😄🏊🏼‍♂️ -Coach M

[@RoadRunnersZA]

Hi coach Mandy! Thanks for the video. I am learning to thread and I must say the 8beta is hard. I prefer to just skull the arms and I am sticking to that

[@SWIMVICE]

😄🏊‍♀️That’s awesome @RoadRunnerMzansi 🙌 sculling is great alternative to egg beater. As you get more comfortable with sculling, the coordination of egg beater and/or breaststroke kick will naturally progress through your practice. I have a recent video demonstrating 3 different treading water skills you can practice in a shallow pool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vWlqebnppqpbM Enjoy your practice! 🏊‍♀️ -Coach Mandy

im here because i can swim BUT only if i can touch the floor, and also cant thread so any advice anyone????

[@Zikeyboy101]

What happens if you mistakenly let out all the air in your lungs while under water? How do you float again?

[@Ronniesmart99]

Am going for my license tomorrow but I feel treading is still kinda hard but at least this video will remind me

[@andypandywalters]

Why is it on the few occasions I've tried treading water I'm absolutely exhausted and panting for breath after literally a few seconds ?

[@SWIMVICE]

Most likely due to not being able to successfully master floating and relaxing first. Tension across your body leads to stressing your breath. This will make you feel exhausted within a few seconds. Floating and relaxing is a critical step for being able to tread water. You have to learn how the water supports you before adding any movement. 🙌🏊‍♂️✅ Practice floating in a shallow pool until you can successful repeat this skill then you follow this by treading in a shallow pool until you are able to master it comfortably. Always practice with a support team to ensure a safe environment. 🙌🏊‍♂️🙏 -Coach Mandy

[@annbrown8174]

I'm learning to swim and treading water works a little better for me with the flutter kick. I haven't gotten the egg beater kick down yet...👍🏽

[@SWIMVICE]

Ann nice! Yes the flutter kick works just as well. It really is your preference as long as you feel relaxed and not panicking this is key! Definitely keep me posted on your progress. 🏊🏼‍♀️🙌🏽👍🏼 -Coach Mandy

Is the eggbeater stroke bad for your knees? I head that breast stroke swimming bad for knees.

[@mukunds3144]

Thanks for the video. So our knees should be closer to the chest when doing eggbeater?

[@saiwunnthib9487]

I almost drown in deep water cuz i could not do treading properly yesterday so i came to this vedio

[@slindilengcobo3235]

The 30% air in lungs part sounds so technical. How does one know?

[@sibongiletasilaphiri7521]

I find egg-beater challenging and rather do the Breaststroke kick with Breaststroke arms downwards. How might You recommend transitioning to egg beater + sculling comfortably or is it necessary seeing as I do the Breaststroke one? Is one more efficient than the other?

[@gamingshadow4906]

My teacher sent me to this video to learn to swim, but I ain’t swimming

[@digitalevidenceexpert7964]

How hard or easy it is to tread water also depends on your physical attributes. The average person has a 9 pound head and it's easy to keep enough of the head above water. I have difficulty because I have a larger than average head that weighs 13 pounds. It takes me a great deal of effort to tread vertically but I find that if I lean back slightly so that more of my head is below the water line I can compensate for the greater weight of my head and accomplish this task. You might try weighing the head of the people you coach and understand that people with bigger head to body ratios may need to lean back slightly. (P.S. Because I performed well in school I was part of a multi-year study on the role genetics plays in transmitting IQ between mothers and children. I did have a 155 IQ at age 15 that dropped to 135 by age 40 so having a larger head does have some advantages 🙂

[@Jimmie567]

Boy was I lucky,, I, m glad I learnt how to relax in the water as a kid in the local community baths. never give a thought, just started to tread without thinking copying our pe teacher,, so, that's the key,, Don, t expect major results,, its a natural development,, just flay your limbs to feel your buoyancy begin working, the rest comes with time,,

[@user-tv9ud6wo8z]

Coach Mendi please tell me how to overcome fear of deep end water in the swimming pool

[@MsDJ619]

running out of breath in deep water will cause me to sink?

[@Omar_BananaToxin1701]

Truth is treading water is never gonna be easy but the good news is you don't to unless youre a sinker (negative buoyancy individual)...and if you are one just just get yourself a live jacket and stop wasting your time or learn the art of swimming underwater with by holding breath like a whale...treading water is supposed to be listed as the most complicated stroke and should come 5th after the 4 olympic strokes...I used to think you learn to tread water and then you learn how to move forwards and learn the other strokes...Reality? I learned all the other strokes and still struggle with treading water so I just back float instead.

[@l.a.7034]

No just can't relax or coordinated enough

[@grease3873]

Finally now I don't have to constantly doggy paddle so I don't die in the pool

haha yep! It is so much more about relaxing than anything else. 🙌🏊‍♂️🙏 Coach Mandy

[@jln55]

I scull with my hands but I use a scissor type kick. I'm 67 years old and have hip arthritis. The scissor allows me to tread an hour at a time without needing to flex that bad hip outwardly.
