The first step is to lose the fear of water. I've noticed that what mostly keeps some people from learning how to swim is their fear of drowing. They'd have to learn to trust whoever is teaching them that if anything wrong were to happen, they would help them. If they are learning on their own, they should practice in a shallow area first and trust their own legs to touch the groung if they were to start sinking. In all, they should learn to feel comfortable in the water first 🤷🏻‍♀️

i cant remember being taught how to swim, you just pick it up by watching others. growing up in western australia probably had alot to do with it, even at 5yrs old we'd charge into the surf and play the washing machine game with the waves. the bigger the better, getting slammed by a wave then tumbled and rolled under the water until you had to stop and unload a bucket full of sand trapped in your bathers (trunks) that looked like you had elephant balls.

@@danielponiatowski7368 When you live close by the water, yeah you learn easily because you have lots of practice. But, for those who live away from the water only practice once they have the time to go to the beach or the pool, which are only on rare occasions, so they have less practice.

@@RimaEln yeah, just learn drowning i guess. You dont need a pool to submerge your head in a body of water to get drown. Thats what i did. I could like hold a breath for a full min even before i could swim. That way when im tired while i practiced to swim, ill just let my body got sunk and walk slowly underwater to reach nearby staircase to surface. Now, the last time before corona, i could do a 25-50m underwater swimming in one breath.

As someone who has almost drowned on multiple occasions, i find this quite helpful, even though im an excellent swimmer. I have no fear of water but a very healthy respect if it, even a good swimmer can far too easily get in a situation that ends in tragedy. Ive done at least 1 swim where if i didnt know how to stop and rest during, i could very well not have made it to the other side. Stay safe in the water people, wear your life jackets, water is fun like campfires, but you gotta be careful.

OMG, this is the best video out there that has helped me scull immediately after seeing this. I always had been the one person who drows as soon as I hit the water. Can do freestyle, breaststroke easily, but when it came to sculling, no other video helped. The two things that most of the other videos fails to mention: Head tilt back and chair position. First try, and I was able to scull effortlessly with this position. Controlling the breathing a little, and my nose can be indefinitely be over the surface to breathe, and tread water until my legs and arms give up. Now need to improve my endurance.

Hands down. Best take on treading by far. Actually illustrates the timing, finding your natural float and the seated position, and simple downwards kicks to get your head above water for a breath. Too many swim buffs vids keep jumping right to eggbeater for beginners to learn. Eggbeater is by far one of the most difficult swim forms to perform, even for ppl who know how to swim. You learn eggbeater AFTER you learn how to tread first using scissor kick or breast kick. Much like you can’t learn free style without knowing how to float.

If you let all your oxygen out you will sink. Don’t be afraid to get in the water with the fear of drowning, you won’t drown unless you know the basics of swimming, and it’s quite simple. My first day of swim class I was scared to get in the 12ft water. I knew the only way to face my fear was to deal with it so I jumped in. Few days of practice I became much more confident and my fear of swimming turned into a passion.

Im using the advanced technique and was going to a swimng pool many years but usually theres no a big reason to stay moveless in the water and also that spends pretty much of energy. The easiest way to stay at the surface and to not spend much energy is slowly swimming on your back without lifting hands or on chest like a frog (dont know the style name in english) without diving with head.

I always thought this came naturally and never understood how anyone could drown outside of pure exhaustion. As far back as I could remember, I could float, swim and anytime I fell into water inadvertently, I automatically treaded with zero panic or afterthought aside from if the water was cold af. Turns out my mother, who was an alternate Olympic swimmer, exposed me to deep water as a baby and I just cant remember it. So it helps to start early and apparently, a babies body the way its built, especially the legs, will kick naturally in an egg beater and frog pattern due to the baby fat.

I can’t swim, but i’ve learnt that if you are just wanting to float and lay there, when you breathe out, only breathe about half of what is in your lungs. The air in your lungs helps you stay buoyant.

Back when I was a fat kid and had swimming lesson, I learnt that all I needed to do was lie on my back and I float on water because of buoyancy. Now that I'm not fat anymore I cant float and I have to rely on paddling to stay afloat 😕

I find it easiest to either just float on your back or just do some long distance swimming, it gives you time to think

Treading water if done right is nearly effortless. Not a constant eggbeater motion. Especially if it’s a survival movement. The less effort the better.

I just lay on my back and boom. I’m floating with literally no effort lol Edit: just a reminder I don’t mean this in a “smartass” way. I’m still going to use what is shown in the video and teach myself how to properly tread water. I just wrote what I wrote above because that’s what I’ve used before learning this. And because I found it’s relaxing , you can float, and breathe at the same time.
