    This video will show you everything you need to learn to swim. You will learn the basics of swimming in step-by-step tutorial.
    In fact, learning to swim is not hard. It requires correct swimming exercises and your desire to learn swimming. In this swimming tutorial, everyone will learn to swim correctly, from beginner to advanced swimmer who has not been practicing swimming competitively.
    So How will you learn to swim?
    Firstly, you will get rid of fear of being in the water. You will achieve this by doing first exercise. By doing it without swimming goggles, you will be ready for any stressful situation which can happen in the future. After this exercise, you will be confident.
    Most of beginners want to start swimming freestyle as soon as they start the learning process. However, you should firstly learn basic skills of swimming and only then start swimming freestyle.
    For the second exercise, we will put the entire head in the water and then relax legs. You main task will be to imagine that you are flying in space. This will help you to relax in the water and learn swimming.
    Buoy and star exercises will help you to learn floating in the water and relax you body. Every Olympian performed these swimming drills, so do them and you will gain essential skills for swimming.
    Many swimmers ask "How to learn swimming?". It is not a one day process. However, if you consistently perform this exercises, you will be able to swim in couple weeks. So, try your best and let us know how much time it took.

    im an adult and i basically learnt swimming in 4 weeks (breaststroke & water treading) all by myself just by going to the pool once every week and watching youtube tutorials to correct my mistakes when im home. The first time i was able to swim 1 lap across the pool it felt absolutely incredible. I feel like i have an advantage as an adult as i basically have zero phobia of going into the deep ends since i'm tall enough and i know that i will be fine as long as i stay near to the edge of the pool so that i can grab onto it should anything happen. And yeah, one of the most important about swimming is that you'll have to stay relaxed and not be tensed when in the water. learning how to tread water first before learning the strokes was also helpful too.

      I know this because I've had too. Granted it WAS NOT pretty. 😂😂😂
      Do you remember any of the videos you watched? I'd really like to learn how. It'd help with my disabilities/recovery, etc

    Today is the 2nd day i learn to swim. And this video (and the other videos in this tutorial) helped me alot. At the 1st day, my teacher seems quite hopeless cause i kept drowning no matter how hard he try to helped. Thought i will never able to float. And then i went home, searched on youtube and saw this video. I've watched it 3 or 4 times to remember. And then today, i finally can float after just about 5 minutes go to the water. And my teacher said that it was a huge improvement. Thanks you guys alot for making these amazing videos.

I was very embarrassed about learning to swim with a trainer at my age 35 in front of all other pro swimmers ...i followed your every technique and practice each of them for weeks and now I can float and swim without support...i focused on your techniques and basics of foundation skills...I learn at 5 ft pool

    It's good to see a channel actually talk about the importance of the air in the lungs.
    So many channels talk about laying "on" the water. They don't have a clue what they're talking about.
    Also as a side note: I've taught for 14 years and can confirm it's much easier to teach someone who's a complete beginner and willing to learn the BASICS.
    It's so much harder to teach someone that has picked up bad habbits over the years.

But they are too busy so I couldn't get any instructors. So now I must relearn swimming again by doing some correct exercises. This video is so helpful. I will do it every day now before I start swimming again. I liked all the drills and they seem to be the kind that will also relax my back.

    I have watched and read articles about swimming and never could have confidence that the lessons shown were enough to improve my Technique.
    Typically - I would swim 4-6 25M lengths and gas out all the time. I’d be so fatigued that I could only do that 1-2-3 times and I was wrecked / busted !
    This LESSON that when the lungs is without air the body sinks and creates drag is the Information I was looking for. I always new I needed to improve the breathing technique but it felt pointless because I was so exhausted in the water.
    This is an EXCELLENT Lesson.

    Thanks so much. I am very afraid of water and never learn how to swim when i was a child. Now I am 45, because of my backpain I have to learn swim and sure it is very difficult for me. First month, my private teacher only teach me how to make my self comfort in water. I still learn until now but has a little progress week to week. This video help me so much.

    Difference between a dude telling you some things and a real good Coach is the deep understanding and sense for the important little details.

    The entire video! And series.
    I have a love/hate relationship with water.
    I LOVE it. I DO NOT love the feeling of instability/not being able to feel something; i NEED to know something is there in case I need it.
    That's the only way I know how to describe it.
    When I was little, it was the steps, the bar, or wall of the pool (or my mother. Lol)
    (NOT my oldest sister after one incident where I almost drowned in the lake!) even with my mom, when I was around the age of five, I still wanted to be somewhat close to the wall.
    but as I got older, I was able to venture out more; partially because I was getting taller. Lol.
    and now, once I get comfortable in the pool, lake, etc. I’m good. I like to lay out on floats, but I have to get on the float properly before I can let go of that “stable object“.
    as for the no goggles, absolutely cannot do that. Another thing about water that bothers me is my contacts are EXPENSIVE and without them, I legally am blind. I need them as safe as possible.
    I have noticed that I seem too be MORE comfortable in [some] open water than in a pool. ESPECIALLY if there are a good amount of people in the pool. Love the ocean. Though the waves weren't always nice, they DID always bring me back to shore!!
    Thank you for these videos. I'm going to find a place where I can practice!

    Such an informative video. Just need to follow the steps you have given. I did the step where you roll yourself like baby and float in water. After doing it few times I thought to give it a go for swimming and I could literally swim.
    Next week I will be following video 2 so that I can get control of breathing for doing longer laps. I could only swim shorter lap because did not see your next videos. I was not expecting my self to swim on first day. I can not say enough thanks to you. Thank you so so much.

      So, because I was learning by myself instead of taking classes it took me few months. I was watching tones of TH-cam tutorials and I think the biggest challenge was to get my breathing correct to swim front crawl.
      If I started with breaststroke I would probably learn quicker. I think it took me about one year before I worked out the courage to go to the deep end, but by then I was pretty confident with my skills so all I had to do was just maintain calm composure.
      I would definitely recommend taking classes to make things quicker though.
