I think treading water is the No. 1 skill in being safe in water.

True! But it's also exhausting so learning to float on your back is also important. - Niraj (CDO)

yeah i can float, doggy paddle, and swim a decent amount but i can’t swim in one place at allll

[@anishpandian2619]

No way really?

Floating, or making your clothes i to floaties in survival situations. Treading water cannot be done indefinitelty and you dont move anywhere. You need to swim.

​@RocketSwimming I just taught myself to swim and swam too far into the deep end without realising last week. I realised how important it is after almost drowning lol

[@joelbell9082]

I used to swim a lot but I haven't been in the pool for 35 years so it's like a new experience for me all over again I'm 75 at this point but I've been sitting in a chair for the last 13 months with an injured foot being treated by the VA now I'm able to walk again I have this 20,000 gallon swimming pool that I've been looking at for for some time now and I'm trying to get back into swimming I'll start by floating in the shallow end for quite amount of time I have earplugs full face mask and snorkel to be used later I just purchased I'll just start slowly it's such a big pool it's all domed in and it could be very intimidating it's 12 ft deep at the far end it's in the shape of a kidney but your video is helping me

[@riiraa881]

I struggled for a few months to tread water. My intructor would tell me to relax. When you have never relaxed in deep water, its almost impossible to know what that feels like though. I came to realize (after getting tired and deciding to keep going because I so frustrated with the whole thing) that after your body drops down to that point where you are neither sinking nor floating, that is the sweet spot of rest and relaxation, and all I need to do at that point is to slowly move my arms and legs until I got my nose and mouth above water and then continuing at that pace. Without this realization, I couldnt gauge how fast or slowly I should be moving my arms and legs. This float point is different for everyone. The only way to find it is to take a breath and allow oneself to sink (without moving). Once you get to that point, you just slowly begin the arm and leg movements until high enough to breathe. Knowing this would've saved me so much frhstration.

[@RocketSwimming]

Great point! Knowing the sweet spot definitely helps with that fear of water too.

Thanks so much Jonny...most regular swim instructors don't teach treading in water the way you did. Also, I think egg beater kicking style is quite difficult for beginners, i.e. left leg rotating clockwise and vice-vera...it's hard to maintain the rhythm correctly.

[@latericahall12]

I took swimming lessons. I learned to tread but it’s still hard and exhausting. It takes a lot of practice. Also if you are tense, you will not tread easily. You have be full in control and be relaxed.

[@RocketSwimming]

Absolutely, treading water can be challenging and exhausting, especially when you're just starting. It's a skill that takes time and practice to master. You've highlighted an important point about relaxation - staying in control and keeping a relaxed body can make a significant difference in how effectively you tread water. Keep up the practice and you'll continue to improve! I always suggest that floating is far better than treading water in survival situations.

[@chelsyww6221]

Thank you for your video! I know how to swim since I was a kid, but never know the skills of treading water which everyone told me just to relax and you would float…..blablabla Lately I gonna have the swimming test plus treading the water, very tiring and always afraid of sinking, I would try to practise tomorrow, try to learn from you！

[@FV1000LSM510]

Thank you. I am trying to teach kids to tread water like I do but I can stay upright not usin my legs a and barely using my arms. Obviously there are several treading techniques. This will help my younger ones who sink as soon as I let go.

You're welcome! Teaching treading techniques is great for building water confidence. Adjusting techniques based on individual abilities is key. Keep up the good work with your young swimmers! 🏊‍♂️👏😄

[@FV1000LSM510]

@@RocketSwimming Thanks. I like using the term whoosh when talking about the arms in treading, elementary and “regular” backstroke to emphasize the power part of it. The younger ones like the whoosh word anyway. The two things I am going to be in a lot of trouble when the chance to teach comes up are breaststroke and backstroke crossover turns. We didn’t do those turns when I was swimming and breaststroke technique has totally changed. I guess I will have to teach myself before teaching others! 😀

[@HT__00]

Leaning forward in an ocean with even a slight wave will only cause water to go in your mouth and nose. I tried this exact method and all i tasted was salt water. May work in a pool but not efficient in the ocean by the beach and that egg beater is too tiring and hard to synchronize.

[@aayush9871]

Hi Sir... While doing freestyle, if I collide with someone at the deep end of the pool then I find it difficult to come to this water treading position due to panic and i try to move towards the wall as quickly as possible... any advise?

[@RocketSwimming]

First tip is to swim in lanes. Ask others to free up the lane you're swimming. Other thing you could try is practicing controlled breathing and staying calm whenever you're in the water. This can help you maintain composure and think clearly, even in unexpected situations. Additionally, practicing water treading regularly, both in calm situations and with distractions, can build your confidence and muscle memory, making it easier to transition into that position when needed. Always be aware of your surroundings in the pool and try to maintain a safe distance from other swimmers to minimize the chances of collisions.

So when I try to do this have my knees closer to my chest or stomach and kick down ? And my hands is cupped and pushing the water down ???

[@RocketSwimming]

Hey! When treading water, try bending your knees a bit and kicking down to stay afloat. Cupping your hands and pushing the water down can also help you generate upward force. Give it a go and see what feels most comfortable for you.

Treading water is not an efficient way to stay afloat in the water. Learn to float on your back if you need a survival skill.

[@RocketSwimming]

Let me know how it goes for you, OK? Don't be afraid of mistakes! Just identify them and try to fix them as soon as possible. Identifying mistakes should be the first task because a lot of beginners don't realise some common mistakes and they repeat them regularly which becomes their muscle memory. - Niraj (CDO)

[@maxxt-mz7sz]

What happens when I try to tread water is I float for a bit but then I go down to my eyes and stay there

[@RocketSwimming]

It sounds like you might be experiencing some difficulty with maintaining buoyancy while treading water. This can happen due to a variety of factors including body position, leg movement, and breathing. Here are a few tips that might help you improve your treading water technique: Body Position: Make sure your body is in a slightly upright position with your chest and head above the water. Keep your back straight and engage your core muscles to help maintain balance. Leg Movement: Use a gentle and steady scissor kick motion with your legs. This can help you create enough upward force to stay afloat. Avoid kicking too vigorously, as this can lead to fatigue. Arm Movement: You can use small circular motions with your hands or keep them still by your sides. Your arms can assist in maintaining balance and stabilizing your body. Breathing: Try to relax and maintain a steady breathing pattern. You can exhale through your nose or mouth while your face is above water and take a quick breath when you need to. Keeping calm can prevent unnecessary energy expenditure. Practice: Treading water can take some time to master, especially if you're new to swimming. Practice regularly in shallow water until you become more comfortable with the technique. Remember, staying afloat in water is a combination of technique and comfort. Don't hesitate to use a flotation aid (like a kickboard) while you work on improving your treading water skills. Keep practicing and adjusting your technique until you find what works best for you.

The only time I tread water is when water gets into my goggles and I have to get it out. If you kick hard you can stay afloat long enough to fix it but it's easier on your back.

[@gigi19994]

and then there is my trainer who said „there is no technique to tread in water you just have to try it somehow and feel comfortable in the water“ as if it was magic, no wonder I was sinking the whole time lol because I tried exactly the opposite of the 3 elements you mentioned in the video…after watching this video I finally managed to keep my head above the water.

It's weird how people can just do this instinctually, to me this is like trying to learn alien technology. People say "just dog paddle" I'm like what's a dog paddle?

[@RocketSwimming]

I totally understand where you're coming from! Swimming can definitely feel like a different world when you're just starting out. The leaning forward technique can indeed make a big difference in staying afloat and gliding smoothly. Don't worry about not knowing certain terms or techniques - we all start somewhere. Keep practicing and taking it step by step, and you'll see improvements over time. You've got this! 🏊‍♂️

While watching the American Women's Water Polo team competing at the Paris Olympics, howthe heck do water polo players constantly having their heads ABOVE the water the ENTIRE length of the game without doing much with their arms - their legs aren't kicking hard like the 100M freestyle, if I were to do that, I'd sink to the bottom of the water & probably drown in no time. Tell me how I can stay afloat WITHOUT doing much likethese players who no doubt need to conserve their energies for the game - both on Offense & Defense ❗❗

[@RocketSwimming]

Great question! Water polo players make it look effortless, but there’s definitely some skill and technique behind it. Staying afloat with minimal arm and leg movement involves a few key things: proper body positioning, core strength, and buoyancy control. Another tip is that try leaning forward while breathing constantly. Breathing is the key here and not staying fully vertical. You also need strong legs and stamina. It’s like anything in swimming-practice and technique make a big difference. Keep at it, and you’ll find yourself becoming more comfortable and efficient in the water.

There are at least a couple of videos that talk about leaning BACK while treading water. I am just learning to find my "sweet spot" so not sure what works but my 8 year old learned on his own and when I look at him, he is indeed leaning forward. Just comes naturally.

[@RocketSwimming]

Leaning back is when you transition into back float. Naturally, our body will want to lean forward to increase the surface area.

I cannot swim and I cannot see what you’re doing underwater. This is why I can’t swim because everybody that tries to show me is doing what you’re doing. It would be nice to have an underwater camera so we can get a feel for what you’re doing, but thanks anyway.

Hi, please watch our latest Treading Water video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6bla2ii6qDrKs It has underwater footages.

[@MsDJ619]

Does leaning forward allows the water to raise you up because of buoyancy?

[@RocketSwimming]

Yes, leaning forward will raise your hips up and will help you float better. It's better than being vertical position in water. - Niraj (CDO)

[@stufoo]

okay but that looks exhausting lol how do people do that for hours???

[@RocketSwimming]

Exactly! Treading water is not efficient and should be done for very short time to stabilize yourself in emergency situation. Floating on the back is better survival technique than treading water. Watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2bGpGuXaKebnMk

couldn't last 30 mins in the Army with boots and uniform on.

[@RocketSwimming]

Treading water is already exhausting and with the boots and uniform, it's amazing that one will even last more than 10 minutes.

I think the leaning forward is what I’m doing wrongs

[@RocketSwimming]

Leaning forward can indeed help with treading water. It can improve your balance and make it easier to stay afloat. Give it a try and see if it helps!

this is the only thing that stopping me from joining the military, I don't know how to swim!

[@RocketSwimming]

Learning to swim is definitely a valuable skill, and it's great that you're considering it. If joining the military is a goal for you, many branches offer swim training as part of their programs. Taking swimming lessons before joining can also boost your confidence. Remember, it's never too late to learn! You got this! 💪🏊‍♂️

@@RocketSwimming Thanks, but here in my country they take pride in recruiting military cadets if you don't know how to swim they will not recruit you..

How can I train myself to swim in deep water..how can I overcome my fear

[@RocketSwimming]

You have to practice a lot and get comfortable with water. You should learn how to float on your back so you can comfortably survive in panic situations. Check out the video in our channel. - Niraj (CDO)

This is what i need. I can swim but as soon as I stop i just sink. Ik how to back float but not this. Thx

[@RocketSwimming]

You're welcome! Treading water for long time is not an efficient way of survival. Floating can be done as long as you want.

Try the technique mentioned in this video and also learn to float on your back. Floating on your back is a far better survival technique than treading water in terms of efficiency. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2bGpGuXaKebnMk

IDK but I managed to learn how to float by turning on my back and staying still as much as possible. Never tested on deep waters tho

Great! Floating is really better than treading water, especially when it comes to survival situations.
