Beginner Swim Tips For Adults

[@dariusvilla5680]

When I was 19 to 20 years old I became from a crappy swimmer to an expert, sport swimmer in a matter of months, mostly by teaching myself through KZbin videos. This is definetly my favorite sport. 🏊‍♂️

[@FaresKsebati]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

Any specific channel or video that helped? I can swim in the deep end fine but my technique just feels off and I don’t know what I’m doing half the time. Any tips?

This instructor is really thorough. She explains each step to you. I wish she could teach me some techniques.

I am 71 taking swimming lessons, not going well. There is a lot in this video that will be a big help. I could have used your video a couple of months back, Thanks.

[@PatriciaMartinez-ty4er]

Anything you learn is a plus. Best of luck. Don’t stop.

[@Oxford322]

This was the best video I’ve seen yet on total beginner lap swim help! I’d never have known about the flags ,judging distance , etc . Most swim videos use lingo a beginner doesn’t understand! It’s very intimidating for an adult who can basics swim but not “ proper “ swim ! Thanks

[@FaresKsebati]

Glad to hear that! Happy swimming!

[@bulbasaurevolved]

I took some swim lessons in early 2020 (before lockdown), but couldn’t practice at all until now, when my city’s public pools began to slowly reopen. This video is so helpful and makes me feel much more confident about returning to the pool in a few days! Thanks so much, great video and great instructor!!

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet for real? Is treading water pretty simple?

[@krislozano0703]

Thank you! I REALLY need the breathing tips. I like the “10 kicks, then breathe” because I usually just go til I can’t go anymore. Very helpful. 👍🏻

[@RickMartinYouTube]

Thanks for remembering us. Other topics: breathing, stroke mechanics, good cross training for swimmers to make them better, proper kick, how to avoid burnout, etc. My biggest hurdle as a novice has been breathing properly and relaxing, as having endurance. I'm good for about 4-6 laps and have to stop. Goal is to swim not necessarily fast, but for a longer duration.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

@@jimmyb3845 thanks - I play a lot of different sports and find I'm over analytical on technique - so I think you're right once I relax and just allow the stroke to happen, it'll get easier. Thanks for the comment.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Try yoga for swimmers

[@vestibulitis]

Think of having a long body and slow down your stroke so you glide as long as possible - 3 secs or so - before the next stroke. You’ll have your hand and arm and shoulder in a long reach in front of you which will encourage body rotation in the torso, hips, legs, and feet. And, a cheat tip, the less you kick, the longer you’ll be able to go. Kicking is more tiring than getting smooth, long, slow pulls during your stroke.

[@MarcosSoni]

I only discovered swimming as a young adult; learning new strokes is not easy now, but swimming, I hope, will be a lifetime sport. Thanks for this vid!

[@FaresKsebati]

Swimming is great for all ages! You're welcome and good luck!

[@Cahangir]

@@thecrosscrossesout7679 going swimming on your own takes courage,congrats. I,myself even used orange armbands in early days w/o fearing what people would think of me. By the way, i remember using the same reply as well when people asked me about my progress) . But now, going to pool the second time in years, i intend to swim back and forth between walls w/o interruption. As of now i complete one full go without problem but approaching the end i feel my lung capacity just won't let me. So i'm trying to get even more comfortable with pool water by diving my head often and attempt to push my breathing boundaries every now and then, hopefully, to get bigger lungs. ( like in GTA San Andreas ))).

Brilliant tips had no idea what the flags were for ! I find “masters swim “ in my town not friendly at all, or welcoming . It is mainly for swimmers that do triathlon training ( I was told by a YMCA employee) Totally contrary to what USMS was supposed to be for . Thank goodness for your videos ! As an adult who can swim but not “ properly “ I feel it’s common of 1960’s born kids to never have taken lessons but mostly taught by our parent or sibling as a toddler . I know NOTHING about pool etiquette etc I just long to look like those gorgeous am swimmers that are gliding thru their lanes as a splash and kick like a 5 yr old ! Rotfl ! So glad others say they’ve self taught bc I cannot find any help to teach adults how to “ properly “ swim as an exercise ! Thank you so so much
