I came accross tons of swimming lessons... but this one is unique and teaches swimming from a totally different angle ... so useful .. iam gonna try out some if the tips
Not much. Most likely you'll feel more lift/support with your hands at chest level. But it is more likely that you might hunch your shoulders too much with the hands higher. Try both and see what feels best and what gives you the most lift. As you get better (or experiment), you'll more naturally move your hands on demand for what you need in terms of support. You can try small sculls (less range of motion) or larger sweeps of the hands. As long as you create pressure, it will work. Biggest tip is to be sure to bend the elbow rather than keep arms straight.
Certainly! Anything else in particular you'd like to see? You can also check out our website for some additional videos. www.seahiker.com/resources and our blog, too.
Hi where is your next video? Im waiting for it cuz i really wanna learn it your way. Easy to understand and beginner friendly. Pleasee post new videos!
I can't wait to try this! I can't scull yet, but I can sit in the water and spin my self to the left or right similar to the way you did at the end of the video. Can this type of movement be considered "partial" sculling? Maybe I can find a way to transition the feel of that type of movement into "full" sculling.
One way to learn the sculling pressure required to keep you afloat is to try and spin in circles (staying in one spot) with both hands. But you can definitely try to use only one hand. You just might be underwater.... and that's okay as it will still help you. Just do it for 10 seconds or so and then rest.
Not quite, first, whether you spin or not (as an exercise) it is common for people to drift forwards or backwards (most common). Spinning helps to develop awareness of staying in one spot. Secondly, turning effectively will tend to help you develop the sculling/hand skill you need to keep your head above water for regular treading water.
I'm not an expert but my understanding is the more air in your lungs the more buoyant you are. And the better you are at treading, the more it also raises you up. So I think many people settle on breathing in and out while keeping some air in the chest without fully exhaling. And you can scrull a little harder as you exhale and less hard as you inhale to keep your height more stable.
Blow air out of your nose gently, whilst keeping your mouth closed (try humming as you do this if you need to. Other option is a good nose clip. Especially helpful learning to do (underwater/while on your back dolphin kick)flip turn . Or learning to do the suicide turn. The nose clip helps when you are learning to do reverse summer sault/pike.
would you suggest learning by using feet and hands first, or just purely hands? I'm doing both feet and hands by mimicking standing breast stroke, but it's quite tiring and I don't last long...
You'll tire quickly if you are a beginner but after practising it for a few days, you'll be treading water much longer. And also its hard to tread water in shallow waters due to low upthrust force. Try doing it in a deep end and you'll see how effortless it is.
Hi Sea Hiker . Thanks for all the vid;s..... I'm learning late in life on how to swim and all Your vid;s are a great help . I feel more confident every time i get in the water . I'm to the point of free style after 2 trips to the pool . And am working on smoothing out my breath and stroke technique . Sometimes good and sometimes bad . Buts that's O.K. .The more practice the easier it seems to get . Again thanks for the Vid's ......
3:35 looks like you're floating just fine without doing anything. Treading is Easy when you have 95% boyancy. Mesomorph body types like me sink like a brick. :'(
Using only my legs is still difficult for me...I am working on it though... Is it possible that I have less body fat so my buoyancy is less? Somehow I am able to use my hands easily than my legs. Thanks for checking with me
Try in shallow water first. Your weight should not be a problem in shallow water first, as suggested by the video. Dont let your weight stop you from following your dreams and desires. Swimming is the best excercise for you.

I'm 65 y o and just learning to swim
Thanks for tips in water treading. So valuable for beginners like me.
One of the best instructions of sculling I have seen.
Not a swimmer. I needed this knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Great informative video, great detail showing slow motion
It looks so simple yet this is very hard for me. thank your for the breakdown explanation.
You're welcome, keep at it!

The Best sculling lesson I have seen, Impressed!
Thanks, Maria!
I'm happy to find you - your approach is the best for beginners like me👍
One of the best instructions of scrolling I I have seen.
Thanks! Did you have any questions?
SeahikerVideo does it make a difference if your hands are at stomach level or chest level when you're doing this.
Not much. Most likely you'll feel more lift/support with your hands at chest level. But it is more likely that you might hunch your shoulders too much with the hands higher. Try both and see what feels best and what gives you the most lift. As you get better (or experiment), you'll more naturally move your hands on demand for what you need in terms of support. You can try small sculls (less range of motion) or larger sweeps of the hands. As long as you create pressure, it will work. Biggest tip is to be sure to bend the elbow rather than keep arms straight.
SeahikerVideo I'll remember that thanks!
excellent video beautiful soothing music. can you post some more videos for adult beginner swimmers. Thank you.
Certainly! Anything else in particular you'd like to see? You can also check out our website for some additional videos. www.seahiker.com/resources and our blog, too.
@swimfree, when should or do you start breathing or how do you breathe in this technique
I have a scuba certification class next Tuesday. Thank you!
thanks man! I have a physical test in 2 weeks which includes this. its pretty hard and Im still learning. Thanks
Nice video. Clear instructions and good camera work.
Hi where is your next video? Im waiting for it cuz i really wanna learn it your way. Easy to understand and beginner friendly. Pleasee post new videos!
Thanks! We're working on a whole bunch....
Yayy!
Hi , do learner need to hold their breath when they lift their legs up please?
Pls make a video to use the legs: treading water
I can't wait to try this! I can't scull yet, but I can sit in the water and spin my self to the left or right similar to the way you did at the end of the video. Can this type of movement be considered "partial" sculling? Maybe I can find a way to transition the feel of that type of movement into "full" sculling.

You just might be underwater.... and that's okay as it will still help you. Just do it for 10 seconds or so and then rest.
Do you mean that I would try to spin circles in opposite directions at the same time and the opposite motions would keep me in place?
Not quite, first, whether you spin or not (as an exercise) it is common for people to drift forwards or backwards (most common). Spinning helps to develop awareness of staying in one spot. Secondly, turning effectively will tend to help you develop the sculling/hand skill you need to keep your head above water for regular treading water.
Awesome. Thanks for the video 😊
This technique works. Thanks for sharing.
Can you tell me the leg movement during treading
during the sculling, how about breathing? i still confused when sculling or treading water, keep hold breath or just breath commonly? thanks
I recommend learning the buoyancy first then treading water, so you can get a better understanding of how treading works.
I'm not an expert but my understanding is the more air in your lungs the more buoyant you are. And the better you are at treading, the more it also raises you up. So I think many people settle on breathing in and out while keeping some air in the chest without fully exhaling. And you can scrull a little harder as you exhale and less hard as you inhale to keep your height more stable.
Yup that's how I would explain it too.
I learned a lot from your this video thanks brother 👍
Wow!! I'm going to try this next week.
Thank you for your tips... I still learning it... and I Will try it
where is the 'dissolving fear' video? it's not in your channel..
Great videos!
HI SH. I have a question. about breathing. will you sink if you breathe out?
yes
but you can learn how to float on your back first so you can get better understanding of buoyancy.
Take controlled breaths by breathing through your nose and not mouth.
Great video!
Can everyone tread water? I have heard of buoyancy which suggests it's only for some people.
Amazing bro
Thanks and I’ll try later after kickboxing!
How fast do you move your hands? I always think I’m not moving them fast enough.
Good Video for beginners
Thanks, Michael, we're working on a more detailed tutorial/course as well to help with common problems beginners run into.
Great tips for new swim instructors to share.
love your videos. They've helped me out so much on swimming. Is there anyway you could do a video on keeping water out of your nose ?
Blow air out of your nose gently, whilst keeping your mouth closed (try humming as you do this if you need to.
Other option is a good nose clip. Especially helpful learning to do (underwater/while on your back dolphin kick)flip turn . Or learning to do the suicide turn. The nose clip helps when you are learning to do reverse summer sault/pike.

Perfect video to learn
This seems very useful technique
Do you have eggbeater kick lesson?
We're working on one, but if you're still learning to tread water, I'd start with the hands first and practice until it's very easy.
great video！
Can I learn this in 3 weeks to tread for 5 mins? 😩😩
Its possible if you practise it daily
Hi Sea Hiker . Thanks for all the vid;s..... I'm learning late in life on how to swim and all Your vid;s are a great help . I feel more confident every time i get in the water . I'm to the point of free style after 2 trips to the pool . And am working on smoothing out my breath and stroke technique . Sometimes good and sometimes bad . Buts that's O.K. .The more practice the easier it seems to get . Again thanks for the Vid's ......
If I learn this, I''ll feel like GOD! will try it in the pool tmorrow...
Shut up you idiot
@@fahudrasyd5261 You shut up d*ckhead....
No you
Thanks you've really helped me , and thanks again
It seems very easy but I cannot do it the same.
Excellent
how deep is the deep end im scared of deep water
Look into your local YMCA, they offer swim lessons for almost all ages. And even special courses for those who panic in water, have fear of water.
Isn't this Justin Norris
Thanks
Amazing 😻
Lovely
Thank you for you vivid explanation
thank you for this video. it really helped me
How to tread with your legs
Keren banget coach
At 1:50 that’s a little less than 90 degree rather than 30-45
Subtitles in spanish please!!!
Merci
I try but failed every time
Useful
3:35 looks like you're floating just fine without doing anything. Treading is Easy when you have 95% boyancy. Mesomorph body types like me sink like a brick. :'(
Thank you!!
I figured how to use my hands... But still working on my legs for treading
Excellent progress. Can you tread without using your legs at all?
Using only my legs is still difficult for me...I am working on it though... Is it possible that I have less body fat so my buoyancy is less? Somehow I am able to use my hands easily than my legs. Thanks for checking with me
Thankyou 🇰🇪
Once again are you keeping a full breath of air in your lungs? Great video.
understand buoyancy first. then try treading water.
@@superrookie-1 understand the metaphysics of holding water. Buoyancy doesn't matter as much as that.
Im very fat i cant do this. By the way thank you for sharing ur technique...
Try in shallow water first. Your weight should not be a problem in shallow water first, as suggested by the video. Dont let your weight stop you from following your dreams and desires. Swimming is the best excercise for you.
the best !
ths
Can not swim . But i can do this :)
