Pretty impressive! The day I realized it was possible through proper training to stay horizontal in the water even for a natural sinker like me, it is when I started moving much faster in the water with much less effort. For the newbies listen to what the coach is saying as it will make your life much easier. There is always a hard way and an easy way to learn something. To learn how to float and be comfortable in the water before trying to move fast forward is by far the easiest way. Thank you for producing that video! It looks so easy when you are the one doing it.
What if .. even ur with your coach and u have a lot of fear , it's so hard for me to go to the side of pool wich is a lot deeper , i can't overcome this fear i can't even jump 😭 do u have any solutions pleaaase
dude this vid was so helpful, i'm doing swimming at school and my gym teacher never told us about the humming part, now I can actually float instead of panicking
Your “humming“ technique is definitely interesting. For beginning swimmers, do you usually recommend that technique versus just exhaling the air right out of my nose? It definitely does seem like if I use the humming technique, then I am not exhaling so much of my air so fast.
Edward Norton.... is that you?? I kid, I kid 😉 Digging this channel overall. Getting me inspired to finally swim PROPERLY and have an enjoyable exercise routine. Wish me luck! Thank you!
Apparently *most* people can't teach to save their lives. NOT You! This is the first time I'm seeing someone break down Floating on the Back in such simple steps. I'm going to try this today at the pool. Can you believe I "learned" swimming in 1977 when I was 10, and have *never* learned how to *really* float on my back? Everyone I would ask would try to tell me something or physically try to correct my body, but I never got the hang of it. (Yes, this also means that I suck as a swimming/floating student, but that's besides the point.) I'm a coach (technology/product) and I have come to realize that the vast majority of people can't (and/or won't) teach - even if they are experts at something. [ To teach/coach, you have to have passion to share what you know, the analytical ability to break it down into simple, progressive, steps; and finally, the persistence and patience to keep working with the student (in a feedback loop), until they get it - i.e. the knowledge transfer is complete. ] * But you sir, have earned my respect today! Thank you!
Thank you so much. That was really helpful, bro! You're doing a great job. I subscribed to your channel. I'll definitely watch all the videos and take notes because I'm learning how to swim by myself.
The humming offers big insight.. I've been learning to swim for 1.5 years and even though I've made very slow progress (not the best instruction plus limiting fear of water, though it never stopped me from getting in and trying) I still feel I get tired too easy and that I have to do quite a strong effort to exhale through the nose when in the water. Always wondered if that was normal but it's difficult to translate the feeling to other people, maybe that's just what people do right? I'll compare it to the feeling of exhaling through the nose while humming and see how they compare next time I'm in the pool.
Im sure your the best teacher in the land, your so chilled out and put yourself across as helpfull easy going fab guy, great video esp[ecially underwater camera, the hardest part is re gaining standing position from being on back
@@gullyblanchard5750 I can swim but can’t float lol I can swim backstroke or freestyle no problem I can even float on my back but I just can’t float staying still in one spot. I am more muscular and lower fat percentage so I’ve read that means typically have less buoyancy
MySwimpro I have been all my life afraid of the water, I can float on my back, but I cannot float facing down . I feel like I am sinking down. Also I got nervous! And can’t breed. All your help is very valued to me Thank u! For all your help!
Hi Maria! Try using a pull buoy to float on your stomach next time. It will help you keep your body afloat and help you realize how to engage your hips and core to stay afloat! Keep practicing - you'll get there :)
I have 2 weeks to learn to float and swim before heading off to boot camp to become a Marine. It’s not mandatory to already know how to swim but I want to have a basic understanding so I don’t embarrass myself when I get there. Wish me luck.
Coach.. how can you put your feet on the ground after finishing floating on your back.. because I can float as you did but I need someone to help me to stand up and put my feet once again on the ground..
Hi there! You're going to want to spend more time in the water to increase your comfort in the pool. This will take time but once you can move your body through the water with confidence, you'll be able to float and then stand up on your own!
Totally understandable! It sounds like you need to increase your comfort level in the water. Check out this video for more tips: th-cam.com/video/UQBPJVNH-sU/w-d-xo.html
can you do a video on muscular people treading water? and show a guy who's like 8-10% body fat, 190-205lbs, treading in 8-15 ft? i'd like to see his technique. i have to tread for two minutes for my final exam, using no hands, and my teacher has already admitted my body has a lot of muscle and more dense than rest of students, so less buoyancy. i'd like to see a muscular person tread with and without hands.. and no offense, you are fit lol but not shredded
@@lukeryan9277 having strength, mass and being bulky is not muscular. muscular in my description is a man with single digit body fat, which means they have well defined and visible abs, vascularity, and toned. maybe a heavy bulky strong 250lbs guy treading would be interesting, but i'm more interested in someone the size of a swimmer with little body fat
@@lukeryan9277 i would like to see a 240lbs strongman tread for 10 minutes. that would be interesting. you should post a video when you do it. watch austen alexander do the special forces socom dive screener. he's about your size

Floating in soooooo relaxing!
It totally is!
Learning how to float is an important life skill! Happy swimming everyone!!
One of the happiest and chill swimming learning tutorials 😄. Thank you for making this tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy swimming :)
This is great, it's all about the fundamentals. If you don't master these first, tension will undermine all your efforts to learn the strokes. Thanks.
Well said! Happy swimming!
Great tips!
Gotta master the basics before moving on to the more intense training...valuable stuff here!
This is a real STEP BY STEP teaching. The coolest tutor on youtube. Big thx.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad it was helpful :)

Yea
So peaceful

That back float for me is a literal nightmare 😩
I'm a beginner and I am finding this video so helpful right now. I needed this. Thx
A very good swimming coach for beginners.
Very good coach for swimmers.
Thank you, Robert! Happy swimming :)

Thanks for watching! You got this...take your time and stay disciplined!
I cannot float in water...have fear to leave float from my hands...can you help how to overcome this fear
Pretty useful!
Thanks for this I need to come to you for swim lessons lol
You bet!

Спасибо! Просто и понятно объясняете. Подписался)
This was helpful!!!!!
Thanks a lot
Thanks !!!
Women generally have zero problems floating. Men often do though.
i think the opposite. since most females here can't even float
Because women have higher bodyfat
False... I have drank half of the pool water trying to float 😣😭
For me, swimming very important for your life in the water. If you can floating, you can save your life. So important you learn swimming..
Thank you!
Thank you Im form Central Java Indonesia
How did I end up here? I have a research defense tomorrow, yet I'm here to practice floating?
Nice video
Thanks you from slough Berkshire England
I'm one of those ones who can Swim but I can not float. LOL!
Wait how is that even possible? You have to float in order to swim! Lol

same bro
how did it go
Same
You are absolutely awesome 💪
süper educative video thanks
Good day, please in a case I can't breath by my side during freestyle can I just hold my breath throughout the swim?
I really need help to learn to swim and float.
I tried this but ended up drinking 2 gallons of water. What is it that I'm not doing right?
Coach.. how can you put your feet on the ground after finishing floating on your back.. because I can float as you did but I need someone to help me to stand up and put my feet once again on the ground..

I have that problem too..
To put it simply, just do it because you always can. The only thing stopping you is your mind
Amazing
Will this only work if I'm wearing a speedo? haha jk...Nice video for beginners! Good job :)
A fly swimsuit definitely helps! :)
@@FaresKsebati You're so fly :p
Yu did something wrong, yu suppose to the beginning to take a deep breath
What to do for slim body
easier said than done
Doug Demuro before he started reviewing cars
I was affraid of deep water, now I can swim under the water, but when trying to float, my feet are still sinking like a rock :/
Well my acdemy is for kids and teenagers aged between 3-18 and i am 13 and our swiming pool is soooo deep and 4 year old children swim in that pool
Fraudulent video. He cannot float!
How do dead bodies float if they aren’t breathing???
My legs keep sinking
I can float but then standing up again is where I get flustered and then panicked .
Totally understandable! It sounds like you need to increase your comfort level in the water. Check out this video for more tips: th-cam.com/video/UQBPJVNH-sU/w-d-xo.html
Use your hands and knees to stand up when you doing backfloating
I’m taking swimming lessons and I’m literally terrified. I felt like they were trying to move me to fast.
That's totally normal! Make sure to communicate how you feel with your instructor. It does take some time to get used to, and that's ok :)
@@FaresKsebati how do I not panic? I try to float and then I panic trying to stop floating lol
What does the humming part do?
Keep you from exhaling out of your mouth. Keeps water out of your mouth.
@@ednamitchell5131 wont i run out of breath?
@@ElTaquitoD3 you have to keep moving bro. This is just to initiate the strokes.
I have been having lessons for 6months and still cannot swim
❤️🖤
U should not breathe out while floating it will make u sink really fast
It's impossible to sink if you have air in your lungs..You legs might sink yes but the upper part of your body will stay up
what about how to float?
I am really afraid of jumping into the pool 😭
I tried all of this I just keep drowning
Men sink faster you got that one right
spoiler alert: you don't really learn how to swim or float in 10 minutes or probably even 10 days
How long did it take you to learn to float?
Not true! Unless you have a phobia.
I literally learned in 10 min at the YMCA how to float
But i am drowning rn dude!
bro I learnes to float in 2 days

Worst swimming lesson ever, you’re better off jumping into the water and taking your chances
Since when do you need a tutorial for floating? It's literally not doing anything...?
Floating can be challenging for new swimmers -- it doesn't come naturally to everyone!
I can't - yet. Even though I learned swimming at age ten, 44 years ago.
