We just released a new eggbeater video that helps fix rotation problems. It's very simple but very effective! th-cam.com/video/FHWMYutEbKA/w-d-xo.html We truly appreciate all your support and positive feedback over the years! Love being able to share our treading water knowledge and techniques with you.
Keeping the knees high while doing the eggbeater is a thing I'll be remembering. I know how to swim like the basic freestyle and breast stroke but I always get nervous when the water gets deep and I have nothing to step to. I've always wanted to learn treading and this video definitely gave me a lot of pointers in doing it the right way. Can't wait to try this out soon.
I agree. He's the only coach who emphasized bringing the knees high. Also I learned from another coach also on TH-cam, is to not go straight vertically when threading cause you will get tired easily. Instead lean your head forward so that your body will be almost 45 degrees on the water much like a forward slash "\"
Thank you so much! I'll be taking Red Cross Lifeguard training soon, but haven't mastered treading water with no hands--this really helps! W-a-a-a-y better than my freestyle kick! [PS--I'll be 60 this year! You're never too old!]
+edog1955 "You're never too old" I'm so glad to read your comment, and I couldn't agree more. Although I've been snorkeling for most of my life, I never really learned to swim without gear. Well, I took my first formal swimming lesson today...and I'm 60.
God, whenever I kicked breastroke, It felt extremely painful around the groin. Guess what, I've been doing the kick wrong all 9 years of my swimming!!! I've been doing exactly what you mentioned the wrong way of kicking breastroke is. Today, I swam using your tips, and it didn't hurt anymore! Thank you so much you have no idea I was almost about to quit swimming because of the pain. If anyone else has similar problems to me, try the two tips they gave on breastroke out! It really helps! Edit: I'm a pretty fast swimmer as well, and been trying to find what was wrong with my kick all these years! THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN! :D
The best and simplest explanation about eggbeater and treading water. I understand now the relations about breast stroke and eggbeater ....Thankyou very much.
you know whats worse, the comments from 7 years ago and saying they'll try and you trying to awkardly ask them for results for smth they did 7 years ago
Best explanation for the egg beater kick! Everyone just really confused me in the past trying to explain it. "Alternating breast stroke kicks", so simple.
Best water threading technique I’ve seen on TH-cam thus far...very detailed especially the feet locking parts and keeping the knees up during the egg beater thank you 🙏🏾
Thankfully he explained about foot position which hardly any one explains, when to keep flex and when to keep pointed, it really helped. Excellent explanation.
I would also like to chime in and say that this is the best tutorial about the eggbeater kick. This technique builds on what most people are already good at namely, the elementary frog kick. Thanks for sharing it.
I'm scared of water but want to learn how to swim, knowing how to tread water to stay afloat will give me more confidence. Easy to follow and detailed video. Thank you!
Happens to a lot of swimmers not the first or the last, don't forget to exhale when you have your face in the water, and just before you run out of turn your head sideways and get another gasp of air as though taking a deep breath and begin to blow out(exhale) slowly then repeat. Also while swimming count your strokes try for every 4-7 left, right, left, right, breath get air, then continue swimming and exhaling.
Having to take the lifesaving certification again after a thousand years (!!) and I found this video. The new standards no longer permit my old forgotten technique. Always have trouble with what seems to be something terribly simple--I will break it right down again to see if I can manage it. Been ages since I attempted eggbeater. Thanks for posting!
The only “how-to-tread-water” video that has made sense. Thank you so much! Treading water has always eluded me but I think I’ll be able to grasp it with this explanation. I’ll report back on the outcome 😊.
Wonderful video. This is probably the only video that actually is descriptive. Everything else is do this do that and you should float. Thank you so much for this video! Great job! I learned the egg beater in about a week and a half thanks to your explanation :)
Is this a good or bad exercise for someone that has had a knee replacement? I read somewhere breaststroke is bad for knee replacement. Also, are swim fins bad for someone that has knee replacement?
Thank you so much. This is the most helpful video on eggbeater. My teachers try to teach us eggbeater, but they don't let us work on it. This will help me a lot. 😊
Thank you, we appreciate that! We plan on making a follow up video with some different drills to help people learn eggbeater, so stay tuned for that as well.
I watched several videos on this and you have explained this the best. Very clear and easy to follow step by step demonstrations. Thank you for your time in making this video. Now I can finally do the egg beater with ease🙂😀
Your Chanel is amazing! I’m have a great difficult to make the eggbeater movement… I’m complete “negative” and sink after few minutes treading water.. Thanks for the tips… I hope improve my treading water’s ability and become for relaxed in water
I just started with water polo and was getting insane knee pain after doing some breaststroke and eggbeater. I never really thought about technique until now but had thought I was doing it fine until the unbearable pain. Now I'll try to practice this for breaststroke and treading water with eggbeater and see if it goes better.
Love your video! I finally understand how the eggbeating movement works! Thanks so much for breaking it down so incredibly well! Great tips too on common mistakes.
Wow, now I know how to do this. I was wondering why all my friends who weren't as fit as me were able to keep afloat longer, while I got tired paddling like a puppy. I'm going on a cruise on Monday, I'll try it out and see how this helps. Thanks! Keep up the vids!

Thanks man, you are the first person I've found to have broken it down like that. Now I feel that I can actually learn it.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Let me know if you have any questions.
Agreed! My swim coach doesn't explain it, as well as this video! kudos
Did you learn it? How long to master?
You explained and demonstrated that so well I'm ready to go take more swimming lessons. Thank you!
The Best eggbeater teaching video ever!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, we really appreciate that.
La Mirada Shaquatics Water Polo Club Really, step by step, clear and to the point.
Still helping in 2024, thanks.

I feel you... I do backstroke and breaststroke but when it comes to deep water I'm scared af.
Same here

This vid was made 7 years ago and still is relevant. I can swim well but get nervous with treading lol. Thank you for this simplified instruction.

It's very hard to teach, and unfortunately a lot of instructors teach it incorrectly by focusing on the lower part of the leg. Thanks for watching.
I was looking for a video like this. Thank you. will try tomorrow.

I always recommend for people struggling with eggbeater to focus on breaststroke kick first for a while, then go back to eggbeater. Good luck!

Good luck, focus on breaststroke kick first for a while then try eggbeater.
Perfect video, thanks
Wow, now I know how to do this. I was wondering why all my friends who weren't as fit as me were able to keep afloat longer, while I got tired paddling like a puppy.
