As you might know in theory everbody can swim to some degree. It doesn't really matter if you are old or young or what kind of body you have. It's a fairly easy sport that is also not that taxing for your body. And even with that in mind a lot of people have an irrational fear of water getting into their face or having nothing below their feet. And if they get a tiny splash of water in their face they panic, even though they can swim, they'll loose their confidence. And in their panic they waste energy and go numb and then I need to jump in and pull them back up again. That's what we usually call 'unsafe swimmers'. It happened multiple times. The first few steps shown here are mostly there to take away the fear and get them used to the water to prevent that. The biggest problem for most beginners, unsafe swimmers or people that can not swim properly is not that they are incapable of doing it. It is the psychological barrier.
I can pass the American swim test which is: Jump into deep water Swim to the surface Turn around Swim 25 yards Stay afloat for one minute by treading water and floating on your back Swim to the side Pull yourself out without a ladder
I can’t even open my eyes when they have gotten wet. It stings so bad, the worst pain I’ve ever been in. It has gotten slightly better as I’ve gotten older. It runs in my family and my poor dad couldn’t see for an hour after his swimming lessons because they didn’t have goggles back then. He hurt himself quite bad walking into a pole. He has outgrown it almost completely now and I’m only 15 so I’m hoping it will continue to get better for me! I can swim wonderfully, I just need goggles to avoid terrible pain.
Hallo ...i watched your video for breast stroke ... learnt swimming ...now i can swim it ...@36 i learnt swimming...thanks to u n to beautiful melani.... cause i watched her head above water swimming i think 100 times... its very helpful
Absolutely zero chance I would pass this, as a 40 year old. I cannot float on my stomach, and cannot dive into a pool without water flooding my nasal cavities.
@@rdizzy1if you cant float it may be because you are too muscular I used to be able to float very good but then i started training my muscles and now i cant float anymore
I would, but my sister would not. She wouldn't even be in the same area as a pool. Although my eye site is horrible, so I probably would have issues seeing under water.
@@aliensoup2420 It has to do with the environment as well. I'm a life guard and had a lot of "unsafe swimmers". They know how to swim but they are not used to getting water in their face and they fear to have no solid surface below their feet. Then they get hit by a little wave or a splash in their face and they instinctively start to panic. The result is they exhaust their energy in a very short time by struggling or they just go numb or they start hyperventilation etc and they start to sink. And then I have to jump in and pull them up or/and calm them down. The biggest problem in swimming education for beginners and people without proper swimming education isn't a physical one because nearly anyone can learn how to swim. It's a psychological barrier.
Haven't been near a pool for about 50 years when it was compulsory with my school. I was the happiest person alive when I walked out of there for the last time, knowing I'd never have to go back.
Why is everybody thinking they are so smart they are professional, yes you’re able to have your opinion that people are saying it’s not test. Some people are afraid of water in the way people need to realise that people that are not the same.
As a 10 year old swimmer this dude is so behind I’ve been swimming all my life and have been taught way more than this this is hilarious I can only swim up to 12ft 🤣🙄💀
I'm a professional swimmer and lifeguard but I'm not able to float without kicking a little bit with my legs. 😅 So I would fail this test because of floating. 🙁🥲
Nice😉 Melanie should equalize her ears during diving to pickup the ring to avoid a headache. Pressure inside of her ears should be always the same es pressure of the water around her.
Im 7 years old and im about to be done swimming and go to the deep side and also tommorow is my swimming one. More im at the frog swimmg “i dont know what to call its s frog”
At 7:50 she does breaststroke with her head above water all the time. I can never do that, my head always sink. Any tips please? I see many people do this on holidays.
Swimming test for lifeguards, would you pass? th-cam.com/video/YDAsldPlG_U/w-d-xo.html

Nope 👎🏻 never
maybe
Thank god for Melanie. She needs her own channel 👍
She's actually pretty funny. Hope she is feeling better soon.
I like her legs' motion when doing the frog.
@@Mtl-zf9omi like her
@@soufyanl1227 Bro is straight up 💀
So basically just swim and have fun
If you know how to swim 😉
@@Christian_Wedoy if u don't? 🤨
@@Abbieisnotmyrealname u die.
Yeah exactly
Yes yes Yes🤽♀️🏄♀️🐟
I’m a competitive swimmer and watching this was hilarious. Also she looked like she was putting in way to much effort at the end for a life guard
Lol ikr same

@@oliverhardy9464you said its a fairly easy sport but its not easy to do well in
I am to
The skill change from #2-#3 is so much higher than the rest 😂
You helped me feel safe in water AND teach myself how to swim, You're awesome!
I can't take u serious with that pfp bro
2:20 lol , I love the relationship you both have 🤙🏽
😀
do they actually have a relationship?
Well done Melanie! I owe you fell better! ❤️
Wow she can open her eyes underwater just like Christian
Everybody can do that
@@soufyanl1227yeah-
for some reason i dont like goggles so i dive without any
I can pass the American swim test which is:
Jump into deep water
Swim to the surface
Turn around
Swim 25 yards
Stay afloat for one minute by treading water and floating on your back
Swim to the side
Pull yourself out without a ladder
Next pool video can we see her do handstands and backflips please?
Test #1 should be that they have to know NOT to dive into the shallow end of the pool
Do you think it’s better to swim with goggles or without? Because I can’t open my eyes underwater I just panic when I do that. 😅
It is best to learn to swim without, then use goggles when you go to the pool.
I can’t even open my eyes when they have gotten wet. It stings so bad, the worst pain I’ve ever been in. It has gotten slightly better as I’ve gotten older. It runs in my family and my poor dad couldn’t see for an hour after his swimming lessons because they didn’t have goggles back then. He hurt himself quite bad walking into a pole.

Christian, I think you're🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 having too much fun with this making Melanie go through this!
This is very good i will learn how to swim🤩
As a Norwegian fellow, i can confirm that absolutely no one has to do this
You are wrong.
Dette er pensum for svømmeopplæring for 4. klassinger
😂
@@Christian_Wedoynå kan deffently alle som er 10+ svømme😊🎉
Can’t wait to continue my swim lessons again after some years, before we go on vacation
Bro imagine if a comment just be like: nah I’m just gonna throw my child straight to the water

I love Melanie's smile. She's a very pretty lady.
Wow the under water ledge in the pool is a great safety idea!
I've not seen that in the UK.
Fu n swim.

It is not a easy test..
What ever the reasons are for you having those issues i can assure you it is not because of your age.
@@Aeon321 Didn't mean to attribute it to my age, just mentioned my age in contrast to this video being about a test for 10 year olds.
@@rdizzy1if you cant float it may be because you are too muscular
I used to be able to float very good but then i started training my muscles and now i cant float anymore
@@Christian_Wedoyyes it is 💀
I would, but my sister would not. She wouldn't even be in the same area as a pool. Although my eye site is horrible, so I probably would have issues seeing under water.
Why is test 1 even a test lmao
Because some people are afraid of water
@@Christian_Wedoy how do they take a bath or a shower?

i am afraid of water and cant even do the first testwhile remaining calm
i cant swim at all without goggles

I’m 10! But I don’t know how to do all of those yet 😅, but I’m taking swimming lessons!
She’d be a perfect life guard
Edit: she’s perfect at all strokes

I don't speak English🙈😺, but I understood the Tasks and I loved them, I'm going to put them into practice. I like that music. 🏊♀️👍
RIP HER WATCH
The couching is very good, that brings confidence on learning 👌
🛋️
I’m not from Norway but we did all these exercises in swimming lessons
Him: «We want views!»
You got them, sir!
I might be able to pass this but i might fail a bit because my breaststroke is not great. I would prefer to do front crawl (freestyle).
I never knew that me swimming for fun were actual tests lol
Happy Learning.
You definitely can't do that,SHE HAS A WATCH ON!!
I'm 10 years old and I swim like competition stuff so yeah (just saying, not trying to brag)
@01:02 when you realize maybe you should be practicing for 2 weeks prior to doing the test on camera :D
Hi christian, i like your swim tutorial
Great job!!!
I thought this was going to be harder..
This was really good ❤😄
Thanks
I. Like it
As a 10 year old swimmer this dude is so behind I’ve been swimming all my life and have been taught way more than this this is hilarious I can only swim up to 12ft 🤣🙄💀
My daughter is a 10 year old and is super good at swimming I bet a lot of people who are good at swimming can do this
"the students should float on your Stomach" ✨good English✨
Wait. She’s 10!?
The poor kid in the background slipped
"Yeyyy" got me dying😂
Where is that one piece swimming suit from?😂
the fact that i live swimming but?! i dont know how to swim
I'm a professional swimmer and lifeguard but I'm not able to float without kicking a little bit with my legs. 😅 So I would fail this test because of floating. 🙁🥲
The water visits your ears and ears gonna hurt?
I wonder how the watch still works 😆 🤣
"We want views" haahahaha. That look. I know that look well.
WHy am I hearing the music to Tropico in the back ground?
Is it just me or does anyone else just can’t swim without goggles… sometimes even a cap
CHRISTIAN?!
The first test has espantoso music from GTA vice city!!
that seems a bit excessive as a test. I wouldn't pass it. I'm perfectly happy to just swim swim swim until i get hungry though.
Is it ok if I drink pool water accidentally while doing breathing exercises?
Heck no
I’m 9 and I can do all of them🤗
Okay who asked? 9 year old
Current state I guess I’d fail the last one xD but I’ll die trying 😂
I was at nationals when I was ten so I think I could 😂
Nice😉 Melanie should equalize her ears during diving to pickup the ring to avoid a headache. Pressure inside of her ears should be always the same es pressure of the water around her.
It was 1m deep.
No equalizing needed.
I hope melony’s watch is ok
Is she 10years old??
Yes
Im 7 years old and im about to be done swimming and go to the deep side and also tommorow is my swimming one. More im at the frog swimmg “i dont know what to call its s frog”
lol I can swim all styles except dolphin but can't dive at all
Better him than me 😂
Is it just me or am I the only one worried that the watch she is wearing in test 2 won't work anymore?
No, an apple watch can be used underwater with a waterlock. No worries, her watch is fine.
just watching the replay spikes only appear when her whole body is in frame. Some sick dudes lerking around here
Why do you sound so serious and mad
so good
Hi, is it easy to open your eyes underwater? Do they hurt?
Yes later put eye drops so they don’t become dry
No
I am not profetional but i am good at swimming like i could go in the deep side of the swimming pool 😎
0:45 we don't 🤣
Yes you do 😂
but shes an adult
I passed all😂❤
I could pass?
Teach her to dive properly. The pop sound just hurts.
At 7:50 she does breaststroke with her head above water all the time. I can never do that, my head always sink. Any tips please? I see many people do this on holidays.
No need to swim like that, it's wrong and harm your back
Congratulations ?Melanie
Melanie 🎉🎉
can't imagine that a 10 yr old is supposed to pass all this. I can do it, but I'm still in disbelief.
I’ve seen 5 yr olds that can easily do this
easily lol
10 year olds can do this if they exercise
@@soufyanl1227they ain't need exercise 💀 only for the 100 metered they may need like 2 weeks of endurance training but that's the max
Dang fr
up until 5 yea
i would pass
Jeg kunne lett klart dette😊 men jeg ersvømmer da
I know that my swim teacher teach that
2:42 that is 1.5 meters apart💀
Le me (10 years):**Can swim 600m non- stop (if I keep doing slow)**
Edit: yes I liked my own comment
I think I would pass because I am a profesional swimmer even though I am younger than 12 😂 good job to Melanie though!
shes cute
Die Frau / Girl machen es Butivoll !!!
Die Frau / Girl sehen auch Butivoll aus !!
I cant eveb swim
I think more than 50% of the world can do this

2:20 “we want views”💀💀💀
