I learnt swimming at 45. Because of severe fear of water and the deep, it took me over 2 months to become comfortable with just floating and standing in water. People laughed but the perseverance has paid off. I am very glad I learnt how to swim.
I'm 60, and I don't know how to swim. 😞 I almost drowned in my high school swimming pool (about age 16 or 17), and I haven't been in a pool since. Although that was very traumatic for me, I would still like to learn.
Soha's World Yup. It’s ridiculous. We never went to pools or lakes growing up. Now at 39 I want to cross it off my list of things I should have learned a long time ago.
This is the best swimming tutorial. I’m a beginner. I’m 53. I could swim by just winging it. I’ve paid thousands to get swim lessons for my 2 children. Although, they are much better than me, I will encourage them to watch your tutorials for relearning, reinforcement. Thank you for your true compassion, for the love of others, especially us strangers.
I wanted to learn how to swim, but the classes were pretty expensive. So i looked up tutorials online and found this video. Long story short after 10 mins, i got very comfortable with floating and now I'm even swimming a bit. Thanks for sharing this lesson
This summer I was determined to learn how to swim, so I kept watching this video. And a couple of days ago I went on vacation and did every step in the video and I SWAM!! I’m still rusty but I can float and do enough to move in the water. I’m so proud of myself 🥰😂
27 year old here 👋🏻 I took swimming lessons two years ago by a very disrespectful teacher who undermined my fear of the water. Although I was determined how to swim so I decided to enjoy it. She didn’t teach me how to stay afloat and my head out of water first. I was introduced into the pool with my head in at all times. 😐 I couldn’t even bring myself to be in the middle of the pool at the end of my lessons. Always reaching out for the wall basically hugging it. This year, I’ve decided to go on vacation and try to learn how to swim bc I’ve come across this video. I was afraid of the pool, so I tried these moves in the sea where it was shallow bc sea makes you float easily. After three days, I was basically trying to coordinate my arms and legs better. I got more comfortable in the water I was able to play around. Another three days later i decided to get in the pool and I just found myself swimming freely with my head out first. And then I tried out putting my head in and just breathing out and now I can just swim. It’s unbelievable for me. Thank you for the instructions and thank god i’ve come across this video 🎉😊
I've always had a fear of deep water, but I want to be able to enjoy swimming like my friends and family, this video gives me some confidence to try again :)
Same I’m tired of seeing all the other people enjoying the water meanwhile I’m scared to leave to shallow end. I’m going to try though! And I believe in you guys too!!
Same, and I’ve always hated it when water got in my ears but after a while I eventually got used to it and now I have a lot more fun, but I’m still scared of very deep water
36 years old, started swimming lessons yesterday at the local park. I didn’t why I couldn’t float and kick no matter how hard I tried I kept sinking. 😮 I even said maybe black people cannot float lol 😅 cause everyone else was doing it I just didn’t understand. So my next session is this evening I came to TH-cam for help and found your video, it all make sense now! I can’t wait to try your techniques tonight. Thank you so much! God bless you ❤
I’m am 64 and I and trying to learn to swim for the 2nd time. I was in my 20’s the first time and I just didn’t learn. So I’m trying again. These tips help a lot. Thank you.
I watched this video last year after i came back from swimming pool since i was ashamed that my friend could swim so wonderfully but i on the other hand could only take advantage of my height to walk under water. This year i went back and tried your suggestions and technique and started floating in just 10 mins and swimming in the next hour. I truly am grateful towards this video.
@@Yasmine-bu7dh I felt so embarrassed that I was the only kid and I can't go to the deep water, AND I'm the OLDEST of them all. Like, most of them are 6. My swimming coach tells me to go to the deep water, but I can't.

I am so glad I stumbled across your video FIRST when researching how to swim. Because there are so many videos with so many ways to learn. But for me, your video is the most logical and the safest in my opinion. It is calm and covers safety first. This helps me not to panic and to take my time to learn.
Trust me, a new learner can learn in five minutes by watching this tutorial. Most of the videos on youtube are just wasting your time, but this 5 minute tutorial is the best. I also learned from this tutorial. Thanks!
I'm taking swimming lessons (today was my third day) I saw your video today, I followed all the steps and practiced an hour before my class, I am able to do it!!! my instructor was speechless, the people taking the course with me couldn't believe it! Thank you so much!!! :)
I started learning to swim after 17 years of fear, shame and waiting. I swim now and feel very confident and proud. This video helped me to relax my body on the water and by making a ball kind of shape with my body, I float easily on the water which my coach didn't mention. Thanks for the video and guidance!
I want to gain confidence in swimming in deep water and also swimming fast lol. I think it's my form and that I keeps messing me up. My legs keep sinking. How do I overcome this fr?
This is a good video. The way I was taught to swim, my friend’s brother told me to take a deep breath and try to sink down by curling into a ball. I couldn’t. From there he said as long as you have air in your lungs and you’re not trying to swim down you won’t go under and it’s just about using your arms and legs to move around and keep your head above. I started swimming instantly from that moment.
@@chrestakelly1838 Let me know!! This might not work for people who have a particularly low body fat percentage but it should work for most. Just of course be sure to try in the shallow end. Good luck!! 🤞
@@dukes1675 Muscle mass/density plays a factor in floating as well. I learned how to swim when I was 9 years old. While in the Marines I was in a SAR squadron...Search And Rescue. With full lungs of air, I will still slowly float to the bottom, so the statement in this video is not true of everyone. I have to work harder than most just to tread water, kinda sucks really...lol. Some people are just naturally more buoyant than others. Keep practicing though, it's the only way to figure out your own body and how to make it work for you. 👍
I almost drowned as a kid 😔 So no matter how much I try my brain makes it's difficult and my body will tense up. And it freaken sucks because I have always always dreamed of surfing, wakeboarding and all the fun stuff.
I had one swim lesson in my life so maybe that made me a tad bit more comfortable in water than others but for the most part THIS video got me swimming. I still can’t believe it worked, I’m beyond happy right now. Incredible
My whole life I’ve always been embarrassed about not knowing how to swim, and what’s even more annoying is that I fit the stereotype “black people cant swim.” I need to change this year for my self esteem and my safety...
I just dont understand how people cant swim, like its so simple. Could you guys tell me what is behind u not being able to swim? Is it fear of the water? Is it fear of drowning? Is it surreal that you dont have to work your muscles to be stable? Please tell me why, some of my friends cant swim and they are very insecure about it so i cant approach them. I would love to teach them how to swim though. Please reply
Lps Terianna Tv don’t be scared of the deep end, I wasn’t aloud down there when I was little, but I wasn’t scared of it............. *i was only afraid of the pool cleaner* 😂
This is the best video ever. I had a scare over 20 years ago and never wanted to learn. I told my self enough is enough and today my husband helped me and I had this video replaying in my head. I learned the floating part and I’m going to go to next phase next week. Thank you for this video.
To everyone who can’t swim and is scared here’s some advice from a national swimmer don’t rush into thinking you can swim after watching this video once what you need to is get over the fear of the water first you not gonna drown if you have someone with you so don’t be scared and once you’ve done that then you need to master how to float ok the water with your face being in the water cause once you can do this it always it so much easier when you have to swim with your face in the water and you’ll be much more comfortable with it. So then you’ll need to build up your kick so do what the video says and just take as slow and steady as what suits you again do not rush it and once you think you’ve done that then maybe start doing some widths of the pool in a streamline position but only kick for this part, that should build up your kick enough to then be able to start your arms and we’ll I’m not sure how to explain the arms
Thanks so much and I have a question I do know how to swim it’s just that I’m scared when I put my full face underwater I’m scared I will have a swimmers ear infection but there’s no water in my ear
Ok but if what if there’s wax and your ear and then water comes in it will the water just go to the eardrum or will the wax will protect the ear from water getting indide
Thank you Christian Wedoy for this Video. After 2.5 months of consistent practice I am able to swim following your method shown here. First few weeks were tough but I am able to do it now. Thank you 🙏🙏
People won't laugh! And if they do, screw them! I was 18 when I started learning to swim. It is NEVER late. You have to care only about yourself and what you want
@loveutill theendoftimes Yee thats the thing, they dont laught but they stare and its even worse, like get the fck out how can I even try if they keep staring
Hi, I am 42 years old, I feel anxious in water. Just want to learn for my kids because they want to learn. I started my swimming classes, and it's been only a month. Your video is really helpful, and now I have a strong feeling that I will learn soon and enjoy myself with my kids. Journey can be long, but we are not alone. Thanks all of you 🙏
When i was around 8 years old , i learnt it the hard way . The man threw us into the deep end of the pool each session ,to teach us to float. I vomited so much water😅 But anyway i can swim now
My dad said he will teach me to swim by throwing me in and letting me figure it out because that’s how he did it and his friend (who owns the pool I’m most likely going to) so what is exactly why I am looking this up because I don’t wanna drown.
I don't even be around no pools but I took a swimming class like 20 years ago and we ain't so none of this. You're a much much better instructor than the one I had, taught me more in 5 minutes than my parents paid for me to know in 2 months
This video saved my life. I had Aquaphobia for 20 years and by watching this tutorial finally I managed to swim! 🏊♀️ this fear was embarrassing for me. without any actual teacher I learned only by this video. I want to say thank you🙏🏻 It helped a lot.
I've been swimming for so long, I forget there are people who need a tutorial to swim. Just keep at it, yall. Swim with someone who knows how to swim and can swim for two people. Keep your lungs at least half filled with air. Swimming is about using your arms more than your legs (don't kick wildly, I know it's natural, but it's 80% arms). Stay in the shallow end until you're comfortable in the shallow. It's easier to move forward than stay in place. Don't panic if you fall in the water unexpectedly.
I want to gain confidence in swimming in deep water and also swimming fast lol. I think it's my form and that I keeps messing me up. My legs keep sinking. How do I overcome this fr?
@@yagirl_tola It might be one of two things. One, you're not straightening your back enough as you propel forward (your back should be almost tense trying to keep your back straight), or two because you're not kicking enough. Don't kick too much cuz you'll wear yourself out, but it should be enough they begin to partially penetrqte the surface behind you. Another thing, if you swim by keeping your face above the water the entire time, that would be a cause too. Experienced swimmers doing the front crawl swim keep their faces down in the water, and surfacing their face every second stroke in order to take a breath. That technique allows them to remain streamlined in the water. Hope it helps.
Literally my best friend at one point said she didn’t know how to swim. I was fricken disappointed because I was having a pool party and she was invited. Now she knows how to swim but...... *b r u h*
You can do it! I'm watching this video because I just found out my boyfriend's children can not swim. I've never taught anyone to swim but I'm about to try!
Thank you. I am 25 and I took swim lessons as a kid but never really "got it".. It is an essential skill for every human to have, so I will be trying again.
23 and just now getting the opportunity to be in water for swimming and this video was super helpful. Getting those additional video angels definitely helped my understanding of how to float let alone use my limbs , I’m very uncoordinated and this really broke it down to get the functionality right , I get made fun of for even attempting so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
I literally learned how to swim in 1 day (around 4 hours) thsnks to this video. No I am not joking, after years if fear and telling myself that i couldnt i finally did it. Of course i can swim from point A to B and is still sloppy but the fsct that I did it is huge. Thanks
He attempted in "got talent" and his performance was breath taking . And as well as he stopped his breath for 4:30 mins under water with his arms legs and neck was chained. Salute to your skills !!
I am so amazed! I’ve never known anything about knowing how to swim! This video was done so well. I watched it 2 times. Then went to the pool and was floating on my front and back within minutes. Wow! I’m so happy!
Don't feel bad I'm 28 years old and I can't swim back when I was a child my parents couldn't afford to get me swimming lessons but now I want to swim so I thought maybe there's a video on TH-cam that might help me and so I found this I will give it ago
you'll learn how to swim dont worry about it. im 16 and i've learned to swim mostly by myself. i remember once when i was about 9-10 i almost drowned in a lake but my cousin jumped in and helped me. and the next day he started to teach me how to do it and after that i was just practicing by myself. you can just ask any friend of yours that knows how to swim to teach you its much easier that way
trashbang that’s my worst fear (besides the dark and clowns but nevermind that) I’m always so scared somebody would pull me under and I’m an okay swimmer but with no notice I would probably drown because it’s so scary like omg no I can’t even
Watching this looks like magic to me and kinda overwhelms me because no one properly taught me nor did I have friends who would try to teach me. I’m an adult now so I can afford swimming lessons.
This is amazing I am only 15 years old and this month I am going swimming with my class and I have no idea how to swim and I don’t want some people to laugh at me. So I am about to try this method and I hope I will swim 😅
Thank you Chris, I have been always so afraid on deep waters and I can't enjoy swimming like that. I really wanna enjoy swimming without worrying about drowning, this video really help me get confidence and I'm motivated because of this video.
*Me in 2021 still not knowing how to swim even though I went to the beach like every day on summer break last year and tried swimming but instead I almost drowned-:*
I tried this in a river lol, When I couldn't touch the Bottom I quickly went out 😂😂.. But after a week or so I learned to float. It's easy if you get over the fear of drowning.
Hi friends, I'm learning to swim in Thailand now, 57 , ,in the pool at my condo. It's amazing, I learned to do backstroke with my pfd on. Today I started to swim in my stomach. Felt a little scared, but now getting the hang of it. Decided to come to TH-cam University to pick up on some tip. Your video was helpful, thanks for making it. Will keep you posted. All the best
I wish I had him as my instructor, I attended my first swimming class last week and was really disappointed. They just didn’t know how to teach an adult and to add insult to injury they both were teenagers. She literally told me “you can practice floating” and walked away. I need a private ADULT instructor.
I know the feeling. I switch instructors twice. Finally, I got someone who actually knows what they are talking about. However, I am nowhere ready to swim. I still need more practice.

Same for me! Just learned today. Congrats!!!!!!
@@yas1046 for me is was breathing and learning to relax in water. Knowing how to breathe allowed me to relax a lot better
Congrats🤗

Trust me, a new learner can learn in five minutes by watching this tutorial. Most of the videos on youtube are just wasting your time, but this 5 minute tutorial is the best. I also learned from this tutorial. Thanks!
Y'all I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to swim. I'm 27 and trying to get into kayaking of all things because my friends do it.
I'm taking swimming lessons (today was my third day) I saw your video today, I followed all the steps and practiced an hour before my class, I am able to do it!!! my instructor was speechless, the people taking the course with me couldn't believe it! Thank you so much!!! :)
Omg ur comment gives me hope😩
Yeah ...his steps are simple
I started learning to swim after 17 years of fear, shame and waiting. I swim now and feel very confident and proud. This video helped me to relax my body on the water and by making a ball kind of shape with my body, I float easily on the water which my coach didn't mention. Thanks for the video and guidance!
I want to gain confidence in swimming in deep water and also swimming fast lol. I think it's my form and that I keeps messing me up. My legs keep sinking. How do I overcome this fr?
Hahaha , confident the same is happening with me 🤣🤣🤣
Mind:I have confident that I can swim.
Body:Tomorrow you will find me dead.
Edit: Thnx i never got so many like in my life
😂
Hahaha you are hilarious.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣😭
This is great 😄
Me: ok ez
Also me: *drowns
Same
lol
Same
Same omg HAHAHAH
Same.
This is a good video. The way I was taught to swim, my friend’s brother told me to take a deep breath and try to sink down by curling into a ball. I couldn’t. From there he said as long as you have air in your lungs and you’re not trying to swim down you won’t go under and it’s just about using your arms and legs to move around and keep your head above. I started swimming instantly from that moment.
@Vishal Srivastav
It was a cookout pool party with several families. Just because you can’t swim doesn’t mean you can’t hang out at the shallow end.
I'm gonna try that too. I'll come back with an update. Might be couple of months from now though. I'm in South Africa and we heading into winter.
@@chrestakelly1838
Let me know!! This might not work for people who have a particularly low body fat percentage but it should work for most. Just of course be sure to try in the shallow end. Good luck!! 🤞
@@chrestakelly1838How did it go?
Bro dis man is the first guy that tells me that i need air to float I MISSED ALOT
I was told that I was unable to float bc I didn’t take in enough air 😕
@@dukes1675 dangg fr?
@@dukes1675 Muscle mass/density plays a factor in floating as well. I learned how to swim when I was 9 years old. While in the Marines I was in a SAR squadron...Search And Rescue. With full lungs of air, I will still slowly float to the bottom, so the statement in this video is not true of everyone. I have to work harder than most just to tread water, kinda sucks really...lol. Some people are just naturally more buoyant than others. Keep practicing though, it's the only way to figure out your own body and how to make it work for you. 👍
It's okay if u don't know how to swim fish can't walk either
I know to swim but I'm gonna get sun burned😭😭😭😭
go watch some SpongeBob SquarePants

Mc Damian I can swim in deep water or shallow. Also I can underwater too❤️
😂
I almost drowned as a kid 😔 So no matter how much I try my brain makes it's difficult and my body will tense up. And it freaken sucks because I have always always dreamed of surfing, wakeboarding and all the fun stuff.
Bro I have drowned 2 times but I am still learning how to swim. You just have to overcome your fear and practice more. That's it
@@anushkadey836 Ik u meant well, but I died at "I have drowned 2 times" 🤣🤣
Same here
I almost drowned a lot as a kid, but the fear or drowning never stopped me from going into big pools. You'll get through this.

Me a swimmer in quarantine: oh great now I’ll remember how to swim once I get back in the water
Omg me too😂😂
Ok
siang cin na dam maw
I had one swim lesson in my life so maybe that made me a tad bit more comfortable in water than others but for the most part THIS video got me swimming. I still can’t believe it worked, I’m beyond happy right now. Incredible
The hard part is getting used to being under/submerged into water. One second in and I feel like I'm drowning
Ikr😩 I couldn't get past that
Me too but then I stand up and I’m like wow I am alive!
When I was practicing breathing tricks in water, my throat felt like it was locked up, so don't worry, it's not only you
ok
i be fighting for my life lol
me: in love with the ocean
also me: can’t swim and biggest fear is drowning
Same bro. It hurts
Same bruh
i hope you overcome your fear :)
Yup
Keep looking at this video
I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who can't swim.
Edit: Thank you all💕
And for the likes as well👍
I can't swim either but I hope this vid help me

I cant to and i 12 years old🤦♂️

My whole life I’ve always been embarrassed about not knowing how to swim, and what’s even more annoying is that I fit the stereotype “black people cant swim.” I need to change this year for my self esteem and my safety...

Yeah I’m also black and 15 going to try to learn this summer
@@xxatlantic9629 Same 😖
@@xxatlantic9629 Wow me to
I just dont understand how people cant swim, like its so simple. Could you guys tell me what is behind u not being able to swim? Is it fear of the water? Is it fear of drowning? Is it surreal that you dont have to work your muscles to be stable? Please tell me why, some of my friends cant swim and they are very insecure about it so i cant approach them. I would love to teach them how to swim though. Please reply
who else just goes in and starts kicking around and moving there arms like crazy
You
MEEEE LMAO

omg me
I always do this and one time I went to a public pool and the life guard came to get me out
Me: wants to join the swim team
Also me: *can't swim*
Sameee kinda I know a little but I'm scared of the deep end
yeah ur pfp represents that rly well
Lps Terianna Tv don’t be scared of the deep end, I wasn’t aloud down there when I was little, but I wasn’t scared of it............. *i was only afraid of the pool cleaner* 😂
ur name and pfp tho
Id join but my grades are bad
It took me less than 20 minutes to learn this. Thank you! Now I can swim 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats 🎉
@@DaroTheOfficial thank you! I got very excited 😂
@@hiba1612 Yes. I could only do floating before. Both the right way and "I-am-dead" way 😂
U r a genius ! I watched it too, but i can't get my head above water
@@yajie7756 I learned to push myself up and out instead of just forward when I need air
This is the best video ever. I had a scare over 20 years ago and never wanted to learn. I told my self enough is enough and today my husband helped me and I had this video replaying in my head. I learned the floating part and I’m going to go to next phase next week. Thank you for this video.
my brain- yeah that is easy
me: in the water*
also me: mom I am going to die..
th-cam.com/video/spxFiNwjZI4/w-d-xo.html see it if u interest
To everyone who can’t swim and is scared here’s some advice from a national swimmer don’t rush into thinking you can swim after watching this video once what you need to is get over the fear of the water first you not gonna drown if you have someone with you so don’t be scared and once you’ve done that then you need to master how to float ok the water with your face being in the water cause once you can do this it always it so much easier when you have to swim with your face in the water and you’ll be much more comfortable with it. So then you’ll need to build up your kick so do what the video says and just take as slow and steady as what suits you again do not rush it and once you think you’ve done that then maybe start doing some widths of the pool in a streamline position but only kick for this part, that should build up your kick enough to then be able to start your arms and we’ll I’m not sure how to explain the arms
thanks I don't know what else I would do if I couldn't swim lol or had this information
Thank you. So very much, man.
Thanks how long does it take for a beginner to learn and swim on their own with everyday practice?
Thanks so much and I have a question I do know how to swim it’s just that I’m scared when I put my full face underwater I’m scared I will have a swimmers ear infection but there’s no water in my ear
Ok but if what if there’s wax and your ear and then water comes in it will the water just go to the eardrum or will the wax will protect the ear from water getting indide
Thank you Christian Wedoy for this Video. After 2.5 months of consistent practice I am able to swim following your method shown here. First few weeks were tough but I am able to do it now. Thank you 🙏🙏
Every summer I have to watch those videos and practice on my bed , still can’t swim tho , it’s now a ritual for me 😂
lmao🤣🤣same here🙌🙌🙌😥
😂😂😂
😂 I hope you get to practise in some water soon.
Try it in the sink while rinsing dishes ! 😂😂😂😂
انا امزح فقط
Epic bro!😂
Who here wants a private pool in your house because it's too embarrassing to do it on public where people will laugh at you.
Especially when you are 20+ and still dnt know how to swim. Yep thats shame hahaha
People won't laugh! And if they do, screw them! I was 18 when I started learning to swim. It is NEVER late. You have to care only about yourself and what you want
@loveutill theendoftimes Yee thats the thing, they dont laught but they stare and its even worse, like get the fck out how can I even try if they keep staring
Oml me XD
@@dtg6760 Ikr, I'm 15, I can float but I can't swim.

No bathtub at home, cant relate

Hi, I am 42 years old, I feel anxious in water. Just want to learn for my kids because they want to learn. I started my swimming classes, and it's been only a month. Your video is really helpful, and now I have a strong feeling that I will learn soon and enjoy myself with my kids. Journey can be long, but we are not alone. Thanks all of you 🙏
This comment section is making me feel better about not knowing how to swim
Me too
Dont feel bad I only swiped in 2 feet dip water but my mom is getting a pool today and I'm 15
beserk my worse fear is going to someone’s house that has a pool and they don’t know I don’t know how to swim and they jokingly push me in
Danica me too I also almost drowned because things like these to wanna hear my story
Bro me too
When i was around 8 years old , i learnt it the hard way . The man threw us into the deep end of the pool each session ,to teach us to float. I vomited so much water😅
But anyway i can swim now
Omg, I hope my swimming lessons with this gurl is not like that 😭
My dad said he will teach me to swim by throwing me in and letting me figure it out because that’s how he did it and his friend (who owns the pool I’m most likely going to) so what is exactly why I am looking this up because I don’t wanna drown.
I was drowning while the teacher was legit looking at me and he didnt even help
water melon brutal!
@@starryhearts2104 cut 8jrjfjjjtjffifjfjfjgjfffftft
I don't even be around no pools but I took a swimming class like 20 years ago and we ain't so none of this. You're a much much better instructor than the one I had, taught me more in 5 minutes than my parents paid for me to know in 2 months
Today, on my third time in a swimming pool, I have managed to get comfortable in water and swim thanks to this tutorial! Thank you so much. I am 44
This video saved my life. I had Aquaphobia for 20 years and by watching this tutorial finally I managed to swim! 🏊♀️ this fear was embarrassing for me. without any actual teacher I learned only by this video. I want to say thank you🙏🏻 It helped a lot.
Amazing! Happy swimming :)
I've been swimming for so long, I forget there are people who need a tutorial to swim.
Just keep at it, yall. Swim with someone who knows how to swim and can swim for two people. Keep your lungs at least half filled with air. Swimming is about using your arms more than your legs (don't kick wildly, I know it's natural, but it's 80% arms). Stay in the shallow end until you're comfortable in the shallow. It's easier to move forward than stay in place. Don't panic if you fall in the water unexpectedly.
This point is really worth noticing for the beginners that our hands give 80% propulsion and our legs no more than 20%
@@jhamail and I’m in a science class
I want to gain confidence in swimming in deep water and also swimming fast lol. I think it's my form and that I keeps messing me up. My legs keep sinking. How do I overcome this fr?
@@yagirl_tola It might be one of two things. One, you're not straightening your back enough as you propel forward (your back should be almost tense trying to keep your back straight), or two because you're not kicking enough. Don't kick too much cuz you'll wear yourself out, but it should be enough they begin to partially penetrqte the surface behind you.
Another thing, if you swim by keeping your face above the water the entire time, that would be a cause too. Experienced swimmers doing the front crawl swim keep their faces down in the water, and surfacing their face every second stroke in order to take a breath. That technique allows them to remain streamlined in the water.
Hope it helps.
I just love this comment.
Any body else in their 20s and still can’t swim ?

@trashbang what do you mean?
you'll learn how to swim dont worry about it. im 16 and i've learned to swim mostly by myself. i remember once when i was about 9-10 i almost drowned in a lake but my cousin jumped in and helped me. and the next day he started to teach me how to do it and after that i was just practicing by myself. you can just ask any friend of yours that knows how to swim to teach you its much easier that way
trashbang that’s my worst fear (besides the dark and clowns but nevermind that) I’m always so scared somebody would pull me under and I’m an okay swimmer but with no notice I would probably drown because it’s so scary like omg no I can’t even

I wish I had him as my instructor, I attended my first swimming class last week and was really disappointed. They just didn’t know how to teach an adult and to add insult to injury they both were teenagers. She literally told me “you can practice floating” and walked away. I need a private ADULT instructor.
I’m 12 years old but I had teenage swim instructor she had no idea what she was doing and I didn’t even learn how to swim after the lesson

I learned in community college for a semester. Class was step by step and slow, but you really learn. Best thing I did.

I know the feeling. I switch instructors twice. Finally, I got someone who actually knows what they are talking about. However, I am nowhere ready to swim. I still need more practice.
