    I 'swam' (more like waddled) to the deep end once without knowing then my sister told me I was in the deep end (knowing I can't float/swim) and then I panicked and started to drown. Confidence is quite important. It's all in our heads.

      Lol I'm here because my kids 11 and 6-year-old. Did the same thing to me and I'm 39 they told me that I was in the deep end I panicked luckily the corner was not too far off and I swam over there or whatever I did. You're right it is all in your head it's the feeling of not being grounded. It's easier to learn at a early age that's what my kids did with no help from me cuz I don't get in anything I can't stand in.

      I am so afraid to go down. Once my feet leave the ground I panic. I should focus on controlling myself in the water. Instead I allow the water to take control of me. It's definitely the power of ones mind and a little confidence. I hope to be swimming soon.

      @Mr Apostle Late reply. Nah weight doesn't prevent you from floating, it's most likely that you either not skauling correctly or you not moving your legs enough. Basically if you do step 2 properly you should be able to float.

    Actually at 4:18: You should REALLY be careful while swimming next to one of those drains at the bottom of the pool. They can create problems for people and there have been accidents where people get "stuck" next to those drains and not be able to get up because there are some sort of "suction" if you are close to those drains.
    Avoid them if you can.

I'm having a pool party at school for a celebration.And they test us to see if we can swim so they know which deep or shallow end we can go, but I can't swim, last time I failed and everyone kept pressuring me saying that u need to learn how to swim and stuff, and I cried bc that embarrassed me and I'm sensitive, now I'm gonna feel embarrassed again :(

    I love your instructions. It sounds way better than the other videos I’ve watched.
    I’m 25 atm and I’ve never had enough balls to learn to swim.
    I was planning to learn through classes, but the pool is deep and that alone is holding me back from going. That and a bit of embarrassment.
    However, I know a hotel that has a five foot pool. Shitty depth but I’m a shitty swimmer.
    I just came from your other video.
    I’ll be trying the other one first before this one.

  • @StayReal02
    @StayReal02 5 ปีที่แล้ว +98

    I hear a lot of people asking what is the point of floating, well, here is one of the many reasons:
    Floating technique is very crucial when you are out in a lake and your muscles getting tired / exhausted and you cannot swim anymore. What you do is take a deep breathe, float on your back a bit to regain some energy for your muscles to relax. Keep your breathe half a minutes. Breathe out but then you have to flay your arms a bit like in 1:21 in this video so you don't sink. After that repeat the process again by deep breathe , hold it and lay on your back again to float to rest.
    This technique is just for YOU to survive when you are getting so tired that you can't swim any meters anymore. You basically just buy yourself some time to rest at one spot in the lake until you have energy back to your muscles so you can continue to swim back to shore. Without this technique , you would just sink and die whenever your muscles are too tired too work.
    You can also use this technique to swim on your back as well since it is less tiring than to swim on your chest facing the water. You can float AND swim at the same time which is very crucial for less experienced swimmers or swimmers who don't have good stamina for longer swims.

    I once went to one of my friends' house because they told me that they wanted to do their homework with me. But once I got there, I saw them swimming in the pool with 2 of my other friends, and then I said "I thought we're gonna do our homework together?" And then one of them said "Oh come on, we're just having fun together. Do you want to join us?" I can't swim but I wanted to join, and so I tried to float like in this video, but instead I was floating at the surface in a sleeping position and I don't know how the heck I managed to do that to this day

    You should lay on your back while floating. Move your arms behind your head in the water. That will help lift your chest and stomach out of the water. Relax your legs at the knee and let the lower legs hand down in the water. Your pelvis and chest should be at water level. Breathe normally or slowly while briefly holding your breath to maintain buoyancy. Use your arms and legs to move your body through the water. You can float and swim in the water like this indefinitely without getting tired.

    I didn’t even learn to swim until 22 and that was a doggie paddle and it took me so long because I would panic. I was also scared of drowning due to the water. After I got over that fear ( a little) I learned to freestyle swim by 23 (age). I still can not float while staying still and I hope this helps me. It’s so odd because I feel like I should be in the water all the time and I love it but the same time my fear of drowning gets in the way. I will update how this goes for me later on
