I learned to swim when I was 52 years old. It is a challenge lowering the anxiety of being in the water. I'm still not totally comfortable in the water, but I'm getting there.
Keep it up, Paul! You're doing great!

I'm motivated, I just started today, I'm also 52.My 11 yr old son is my coach. I did well first day.
I'm 50 and just starting swimming lessons
ملهم ، استمر 👏👏
Never too old to learn. I learned swimming at 62, a year later I mastered all 4 swims, and doing 3.5 km per training session - fantastic, I love it. Hope to come training with you one day
That's amazing! Keep up the great work! If you're interested in training with us at a future swim camp, email me at fares@myswimpro.com to get on the list to be one of the first to be informed :)
Hi am 48 years old and would like to learn too.
I go to the sea but I dont have fun because I can not swim with my family
Did you took lessons, how long does it take to learn
That's amazing and inspiring! I'm curious about your swimming journey. How did you start learning to swim at 62? What steps did you take, and what helped you most? Also, what are the four swimming strokes you mentioned? Any tips for an adult learning to swim? Thanks!
@@TBab-dq4dh I live on the Atlantic coast, and started surfing, but I realized I wasn't a good swimmer for strong waves. So I decided to acquire that essential skill and signed up for swimming lessons at our local swimming pool. The other decision fact was my age, swimming being a very low impact sport on your joints. I practiced between each lesson, and 2 years later - I am really enjoying swimming. Four strokes in swimming are breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. My tips for new swimmers of any age: go for it and enjoy! Let me know how you progress if you decide to give it a try.
I'm 27 and as a Christmas gift to myself I'll get swimming lessons.❤
That's a great idea! It'll be life-changing :)
learned how to swim when i was a kid, got held underwater by another kid, stopped swimming. Currently 20 y/o and want to learn how to swim again. This is a comfortable and easy to understand guide without feeling like it's intended for children, good job!
I am 70...happy I found this video today. I start swim lessons on Tuesday... for the 3rd time... to hopefully overcome my fear of water. I love the ocean and want to be able to enjoy it in a more relaxed way. Thanks for valuable information.
You've got this! It takes time and patience, but it's worth it. Happy swimming :)
I’ll recommend this to my mom (64). She feels she’s too old to learn. “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. I believe this may help her with her lack of confidence and maybe anxiety when trying to learn how to swim.
That's great to hear! It's never too late to learn - swimming is a great lifelong activity!
There was an 84 year old woman in my adult swimming class, so it's never too late.
Impressive
I learned to swim when I was a kid but it’s awesome to see all these success stories! It really feels like you’ve learned how to fly when you get the hang of it!
Both in our late 50's, my wife and I just love snorkeling but don't actually know how to swim. We never thought that after 8 months of swimming lessons ( which started just last Nov 2022, 2 hrs once weekly), we were very glad that we finally learned to do it. I am comfortable with breast stroke while she seems natural with freestyle in the 25-meter lap pool. Other than our 4x/week gym workout, we plan to make swimming a regular exercise regimen. So, the saying that, "It is difficult to teach old dogs new tricks" is relatively true. The young ones just get to learn swimming real fast. 🙂
nice
I'm 42yrs old and grew up playing in pools and swimming & flipping around freely. It wasn't until more recently when putting my own kids in swim lessons that I realized, OMG I don't really KNOW how to swim!! I'm super inefficient with my kicks and definitely don't do any proper breathing or strokes. Now I want to properly learn and do it for exercise, so thank you for these videos, they're super helpful as I decide whether to invest in lessons for myself.
You've got this, Denise - it's a great step toward lifelong health! Thanks for sharing and happy swimming :)
Extremely helpful I'm in process of having swimming lessons I'm 59 years old
It's a slow process but I'll get there eventually
Just started swim lessons at 40 something and this video is so helpful
Can’t wait until I progress further 😊
That's awesome! Keep up the hard work and be patient with yourself :)
Very helpfulll thank you ima use this as soon as I find out where I can find a king pool haha
Bobbing and floating were huge for me. Also getting in a couple times a week consistently
Glad to hear that! Keep it up and happy swimming!
I started swimming during the Labor Day weekend. I don't know why I never thought to buy a pair of goggles until I reached the age of 55, but my inner swim fiend was unleashed. I got a Y membership so I could swim in a proper lap pool (and I even started working there last month). My Swim Pro was key to training myself in the early days. I've taken one round of swimming lessons and start another round next month. Until then, I'm watching Whiteboard Wednesday videos to improve my streamline and to start working on my dolphin kicks.
So glad to hear that, Stacy! Thanks for your support and keep up the good work! Happy swimming :)

I am laying on a hammock on the water in Maine watching this. The weather is 82 degrees while everywhere else is about 95. And this video is very calming.
I am sitting at work in Maine watching this the weather is 90° and I wish I was outside swimming 😂
I liked the idea of swimming growing up but I couldn't ever afford lessons and did land sports like long distance running. I can't run anymore and I have enough fat on my body I can float every which way without treading and that makes me excited! So I'm signing up for swim classes soon so I can learn the strokes well enough to swim laps for excersise. These videos are helpful!
This really helps. Thanks a million! ❤
I started swimming recently and the most important tip is to teach the landing position, especially for short people like me.
This is why you should always teach your kids to swim at the earliest opportunity! My auntie started teaching me at 5 years old. It can save your life!
At 73, today is my second day, I m enjoying learning
Great information!
I love this chanel I started 1 month ago and I have been learning a lot with your. Thanks from Colombia
Glad you enjoy it! Happy swimming, Elier!
Thank You so very much. God blessings to you.
Ugh. I already did free and frog style (and not mastered) sooo hard to learn it (float & butterfly) 😢😫 but yes. I just tried it yesterday
This video is very useful
Am going for my 1st lesson with a professional teacher lol I can’t count how many attempts I have tried in the past
But before I turn 35 this September iam determined to learn
You've got this! Keep up the hard work and dedication, and have fun :)
Went for my 1st lesson and did great ! Was quiet shocked and the swim teacher was quiet impressed! Thanks for sharing the videos! Helped a lot !!
Look forward to the next lesson
@@stevephoebep-s-house8606 Nice work!! :)
Floating on my back terrifies me
Wow! That looks like an amazing pool! Nice approach to getting use to the water! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you 👍. I have aquaphobia and recently I decide to hire private tutor to teach me how to swim. Tobe honest, it's so difficult but it getting better day by day
You can do it! Keep up the hard work :)
I'd be very interested to know where this was filmed, it looks like a gorgeous place!
You are very good coach!🥰🥰
Thank you! Happy swimming :)
Hi great video thank you, was just wondering could you next time do a video of how to stop safely in the water? I noticed when you were showing us the floating on your back you didn't show how are we are meant to stand up after safely.
Hi Diane! Great suggestion. The best way is to move your hands around in the water to support you, and sit up like you're in a chair. Good luck and happy swimming :)
@@FaresKsebati Thanks
I don't know but I really get nervous when I can't touch the floor anymore. I also have fear of deep water like a sea. I hope I'll be able to overcome this.
Nice video!
Good tips
I'm really starting to learn properly at 62 now and albeit I am a bit apprehensive I thoroughly enjoy it. Your clip was quite helpful.
It's never too late to learn! Glad we could help - happy swimming :)
I learnt to swim last year at 62. Best thing ever. Absolutely love swimming. Now swim 3 times a week.
Thank you so much 😫
Thank you Page. I am struggling to learn how to breath
You can do it! Check out this video for more breathing tips: th-cam.com/video/V1kdWWYdWEU/w-d-xo.html
I would love to learn❤
What if it's a sea and i want float and swim for at least an hour because that was just a pool, i saw u stepping on wall for a start. Thanks.
I've been swimming regular 3 to 4xs a week, 45 years now since the early days that I was in a life saving club. Now i am 70 yr old. I always had limited shoulder mobility especially on front crawl. ( S ) pull with a high elbow is a no go for me. I found out a lot later on I was a lot better using the johnny weissmuller ( i ) pull catch pressure, arms straight down and straight back.
That's a great routine, Jeffrey! Yes, the S pull is considered outdated - you were correct on making a technique adjustment :)
Thank you Fares for your advice.
Great work, fantastic teaching love you so much 😍🌹🙏 I'm Ananda, I'm from Sri Lanka, I'm the lifeguard, I like very much this job.
I'm 16 we are going to the pool today and I'm going to work on floating on my stomach its embarrassing to ask for help or even tell someone I can't swim but this should really help thank you
Omb this looks so difficult! I want to learn how to swim for summer ☀️ 😭
Been swimming twice a week some weeks feeling fitter & I swim with goggles still need to do 25m keep putting it off
Captain, during the buoyancy process, should I exhale while doing the buoyancy process?
What if there is no wall? I swim in sea or river/lake
I started learning since last 2 months at the age of 39 and for some reason I could float with face down but never on my back
About to start swimming lessons at almost 42
I learned😊
I can't exhale under water through nose I exhale through mouth..is it ok or wrong? shoud I train to exhale through nose?
Hello can i learn to swim by myself by watching your video?
How can I start Swimming as a beginner
I have started at 60.Can you give some tips on how to stand in water midway after floating.
You need to pretend that you're taking a seat to stand up. Take a deep breath and blow out your nose. Your head will go under for a few seconds.
I am 21 years old and have severe anxiety around the water because when I was little my 3 older sisters used to hold me underwater until I would start breathing in water. It's always embarrassing going to the pool and being the only adult there wading or floating on a pool noodle. Looks like I'm not as alone as I thought 😊
Always be able to stand on shallow water 😊❤safe and balanced
I want to learn by watching your videos. I am a beginner and over 35 years old. I hope it helps. Thank you
You've got this! It takes time and patience, but it's entirely doable. Happy swimming :)
Where is this place and how can I get there??
This is the Barcelo Maya resort in Cancun, Mexico! It's gorgeous :)
I'm trying to learn how to swim and I'm fairly comfortable in and moving in the water, but have a problem putting my face in the water.
I have the problem of breathing and I can't swim properly any solution to my problem
Love this facility! Where is it at
This is the Barcelo Maya resort in Cancun, Mexico!
@@FaresKsebati thanks Fares!
6:16 - opposite of scuba! Arms - back - at the sides. I.e. Aar = air. Arms fore - suck air away! Bac si - influx air.
Mechanic, of air ops. Add'Ult' - Added this culture, as directed. I do, quick dunk - for stomach floatsz.
How do u make sure all the water comes out of your ears? Thats what im scared of. Im scared the water wont ever come out and will stay plugged
36 still scared to try an float. My husband tries to show me an I know it’s frustrating for him. 😅
I can swim underwater Breaststroke but want to swim on top of the water doing breaststroke any tips & front crawl I swim face down
Hi Mark! Check out this helpful video on breaststroke: th-cam.com/video/-V6TwcSs1nk/w-d-xo.html
Just watching you float got my anxiety kicking. I tried floating but I'm too scared 😢 Im 24 i wanna learn to swim dammit.
See if you can find a swim instructor near you or someone to help you - learning is better in pairs! Keep putting in the effort :)
I am 40 n started to learn swimming …I am too scared of the water , cannot float 😢😭 too..
I'm ready at 51 yrs old hahahaha
It's never too late to learn, Flora! Good luck and happy swimming :)
The cameraman having lungs of steel 😂
Shallow or deep water, same concept
Nice gyatt
Is it possible that a non-swimmer cannot learn to swim naturally for 5 sessions of swimming lessons? I'm a bit slow in learning life skills.. Sadt
I'm 44 years old and I never learned how to swim, plus of somebody I knew who can swim, that person or family coulda taught me at a younger age, but no, I never learned how to do it!
Never had any desire to learn to swim for exercise tho my 7 children were age group swimmers. Had no fear, and could do sidestroke etc. Then 8 years ago had total hip replacement on both sides. No more running. Did rehab in pool and went to water aerobics for 8 years before realizing if I wanted to up my cardio, I needed to learn to swim laps. Asked my oldest daughter who came to visit and was a certified swim instructor if she would teach . Role reversal and lots of laughter but after 3 lessons I was able to do a credible 25 yd lap of freestyle, at 85. Have always had linebacker shoulders which is good as I have little leg power. My biggest issue is breath control as I have chronic asthma. This is the main reason I was reluctant to try swimming, as it is harder for an asthmatic person than running. However, it really is both fun and a challenge so don’t be afraid to try it no matter what your age.
Wow, Elsa! That's a great story! Swimming is a great activity for all ages - so glad it helped you with rehab and getting fit! Happy swimming :)
Ah! 15m rule - I remember Vddsz!
I wish I could swim but everytime water goes over my head even in a shower it takes my breath away 😩 so then I panic and I feel like I can't breath this really scares me so it just puts me off learning how to swim my dad made me scared of water from a young age he would tip freezing cold water over my head 🙃 which would make me lose my breath I can't even do waterside because of when the cold water splashes in my face this takes my breath away only thing about me being so scared of water is from a young age I always took my boys to a waterpark abroad so they would learn and not be scared of water even thou I would sit on the edge scared shitless that I wouldn't be able to help them if they got into trouble but now they are older they can swim not scared of water 😊
I tried learning today 😮but was so afraid the water is heavy, and I couldn't breathe perfectly 😢and then I thought on my little brother he got drowned 😭2014 that frightening the also
I was shoved into the pool at Disney land when I was 9 and almost drowned. I get in the pool for water aerobics etc. But when I hear that water sound while trying to swim I freak out. I really want to swim and get this behind me I'm 52 now 😂😂😂
Jumped into the Deep End end aged 12, So nearly Drowned , I have no fear of water ,Have been into the sea up to my Neck But I just cannot swim ,Once my feet leave The floor I am sinking ,and Panic sets in
très bonne vidéo mais qui demande une grande confiance en soi et une bonne maitrise de son corps , ce qui n'est pas le cas des non nageurs
I am 46 n I want to learn swimming
You've come to the right place! It's never too late to learn!

It's okay if you have a pool near you that you can afford thr lessons. Not everybody although those people would love to able to swim
this should be classified as adult swim

привет!
Tip here
If u want to breathe underwater hum and no water will get in ur nose
I didn’t learn to swim until the age of 13, I am a high functioning autistic.
I’m not saying that autism prevents people from learning how to swim, I’m just saying that was one of my personal struggles growing up as someone with autism.
Hi I’m a man can I wear a ladies open piece swimsuit on lessons
I find it kind of insulting, that the title of this video assumes that it is difficult for an adult to swim, I think you can do most of the things as an adult
4:52 oh ya
Too slow
