Everyone who has fear of water
I had it too
But now I can swim rlly well
So the better u get at swimming the most ur confidence increases and ur fear decreases
Now I swim with confidence and very relaxed
Exactly ! Confidence comes from preparation
The best way to stop my legs from sinking is to keep my legs apart, and position my arms above my head, hence the 'star float'. Both moves serve to shift the centre of mass towards the head, and closer to the centre of buoyancy (i.e. the chest). If the centre of mass is too far below my centre of buoyancy, I float in the vertical position.
Part of the confidence problem is how to stand up and recover from the backfloat
yes this is the problem im having right now. if i could come out of the back float with more control, i would fear the water as much
Exactly
Just bend at the hip and use your arms almost like your going to thread water with them
Im past that already! Im super confident, and im not scared of standing up from the position anymore. As soon as you start to stand up and you sink, immediately try and paddle and splash your way back to the surface
Exactly, i am looking for a video that helps me to recover without panicking.
FLOATING ON YOUR BACK IS SO RELAXING!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned how to float on my back yesterday. I am so excited 😊
How is your swimming journey going? I took my very first lesson yesterday and I was excited, nervous determined and grateful. The weightlessness felt good, but showed me I was very tense too.
@@Jude300c Hi. Thanks! It's going very well! Congrats on your journey. I swim almost everyday. I should be doing some updates on my channel about my swimming journey this season, so sub to my channel so you don't miss it. I'd like to hear about your progress.💖
How to recover from back float
How we are supposed to get relax if doing it first time? 😂
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo. Ces bons conseils sont très utiles.
I'm going to take a deep breath then hold it, as I'm about to approach the back float. It's just incase I go underwater, so I won't breathe in water, so I'll have to prepare to sink, or go below the surface if I'm doing it for the second time. I choked and coughed up water because I assumed I'd float on my back first time trying it, but my head went under. Bad mistake, don't do what I did. I floated on my stomach for the first time using nothing, but that's much easier than floating on your back. I'll try floating on my back a few times when I go swimming next in a shallow pool next to the edge. If I go below the water surface then I accept I'm not buoyant, if I'm successful then I've found a way to not drown.
Theits more then this way to not drown but also where you successful in your findings
Thanks sikana english! I finally can float on my back like a bear
We need to learn how to float without any equipment
"The more you relax the more easy to float". Me panicking ....
harry potter reference
its pretty easy, just relax, and keep your chin, and everything up
I love your profile pic it's really pretty
I think saying "just relax" never works to someone who is afraid and cant swim or float, I recently started learning swimming, and I've been being told for a while to just "relax" but that never really helped me because I was always tense in the water. It helps more to give actual instructions.
u videos are short and Good
you float easily when u keep 2 tihngs in mind: 1, keep calm and keep all body parts in the water, which means, don't raise your arms or legs out of water. 2, keep your chin up.

“Chin up, head back, slow, relax movements in the water”- USMC drill Sargent. Yes, US marines need to know how to swim.
@@jogmas12 ship in 3 weeks any thing else they tell you
I already know how to do this it's called the starfish right?
Hi. I can float. However when i start kicking, i start going very slow forward instead of backwards. Kindly guide how to go backwards without hand pulls.
I am having problems. When I float my nose goes underwater
D3FAULT
It’s cuz you don’t inhale air before you float.
I learned how to float today by myself. I swim before I learned to float. Here’s how I did it.
Steps-
1: Stand in water. Lean back and kick one leg up.
2. once you got one leg up, kick other and lean back in water.
3. INHALE BIG. Slowly fall back with your leg up as you started and arms apart.
4. Keep chin up. Slowly exhale and inhale.
You’re floating. Most people float with normal breathing like I do
Floating isn’t too hard, just a bit awkward. The hard part is standing the hell back up out of a back float.
What do you mean by standing back up? Lowering the legs, shifting chest upwards to a sort of standing position in the water?
I taught myself this but I'm just watching videos
Same
Same
IT'S PRETTY EASY, JUST RELAX AND KEEP YOUR BODY UP!
I am scared to do it and i did not go to swimming on swimming pool for many years
We understand your fear. Could you try it someone was there to help carry you as you floated in the water? Check out our videos on overcoming a fear of water, they could really help you :) bit.ly/2rHRzjm
Sikana English oh really thankyou ! Maybe my parents could help me
Go girl you can do it just try
Ya me same but you are brave
Now if got it so it's very easy
Me searching because i can float naturally and don’t know where i learned
I know how to float on my back for a really long time idk why im here 😐🤦🏻♀️
LOL IT'S PRETTY EASY! PLUS SHE IS USING A POOL NOODLE!
everting is super easy with noodle. i never did when im on back, in beginning my coach was always holding my hear then less and less and less and less.....now sometimes i can go by myself for 9-10 meters.
🤯
i can do everything except keep my chin up which is one of the most important things in doing this... haha i just feel anxiety whenever i do this because water might go to my nose or i might sink hahaha
Oh yeah I'm a FLOATING MACHINE WITHOUT THOSE DAMN NOODLES!! KEEP THEM FOR YOU CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP🤣🤣🤣
I've always had people try to help me... I just tried again... nothing lol
I did this for 10 min once and slept, and somone thought I drowned
Is this true?
@@BrilTek yes
Lol
Translate nya gimana yaa
Literally the easiest thing to learn during swimming lessons
one of the easiest things I learned in kickboxing was learning how to kick someone in the temple, but im sure you dont know how to do that
Can a skinny people like me do this?
I'm too thin 32 weight 11 y/o
Lmao I'm 17 can't even float.
Every time they close one of these swim lesson videos by saying “over to you” I get really anxious and nervous
It’s pretty easy. Relax first. Very important and keep air in lungs. They make it harder than it really is.
Steps -
Push yourself back with your legs and begin to fall back.
Kick one leg up and once you fall back kick the other one too and while you’re at it, inhale big and fall back. Once you’re in, exhale slowly and inhale again.
what about breathing ?We cant float without having lungs in our air
This video should be titled. How to float on your back (with a woggle) lol.
At least they admit that the legs sink with some people (me for example)
So many "how to" videos on youtube which miss out important information. For example how to stand back up 😂
Tomatom one year too late honey
I’m scared
"The more you relaxed the easier it will be to float" no wonder dead people can do it so effortlessly 😭
Just THROW ME IN DA deep BLUE SEA🌊 I LEARN📘📝 FASTER
Not helping, all i want to learn is how to float on standing position
Nonong Ferrer u mean treading?
In short you failed to float.
do you hold your breath?
Gotah Gemini no
No, swimming or floating on your back allows you to breath normally. And it’s because of this that swimming on your back should be the easiest and most relaxed stroke to learn. I use the US navy back stroke. But I understand that being on your back in water you feel like you have less control than being in water face down.
@@jogmas12 thanks for the reply :)
You are not floating and the proof is at 2.08 You cut the tape right there when your legs start sinking. I can float in ocean, lake, river, but as you I can't float in the pool. I see you have the same problem. I really don't know what the answer is.
Thanks for the comment Todd. Of course, everyone is more buoyant in salt water so it's normal that you float better in the sea. Fear not, you can also float in the pool. It's completely normal that the legs drop a bit, since you are kept at the water's surface mainly by the air in your lungs. Keep practising and remember to hold a deep breath of air in your chest, keep your chin and pelvis up, and to relax! We hope that helps :) For more videos on this subject, click here: bit.ly/2rHRzjm
@@SikanaEnglish but what if sink?
When i was floating i was sinking ;-;
(btw srry if my english is bad)
What they don't tell you here is that if you have more muscle mass the better you float. I can do these and my legs stay up bc I have muscle mass. When you face your head up first toward the ceiling they're gonna float up with the rest of your body if you have that mass.
