  • It can be tough to overcome a phobia of swimming. Many individuals are put off learning to swim because of this, but it doesn't have to be that way.
    Olympic champion Adam Peaty was once aqua phobic and had overcome the fear of water when we was a child.
    Here are a few tips to help overcome a fear of water
    1. Start by getting your feet wet and try to gradually get deeper into the water
    2. When you can stand in water deep enough splash water on your face as if you are washing it. At the same time think of positive images while you are splashing your face.
    3. Next try to learn to hold your breath under the water and breathe out into the water. Basically, blow bubbles!
    4. Hold the side and practice kicking with your body stretched out
    5. Don’t feel rushed to make progress.
    6. And finally, remember you are not alone.

    When I enter the pool, the water pressure on my body is immense and I start to breath heavily and immediately go out of the pool.
    This demotivates me a lot and I haven't learned swimming till now.
    Any tips?

    I started my swimming lessons yesterday. I got scared while we tried to do freestyle swimming and panicked as soon as i let go of the edge. The teacher was there to help me and everything was ok. But the fact that i knew the pool is too deep for me to stand up i physically stopped moving and panicked in a matter of seconds. I'm hoping to overcome this fear eventuality...
    Any tips while im still learning? It could be useful and id appreciate it a lot. :')

    • @Swimtopian

      Maybe you should practice in a pool that is not too deep (shoulder height). Practice water treading to a point you are comfortable doing that for at least 1 min

      Go with someone who knows already how to swim. Try somewhere not too deep like neck deep so you can stand but at the same time lift your legs to practice water treading

    Hi Joe, Good day to you. I subscribed your channel and repeatedly watch your swimming tutorial videos. Ever since when I was a kid I wanted to learn on how to swim, but until now it didn't happen. I can stay on the water but on the shallow part, I'm scared to go the deepest side on a pool. Do you think I can still learn on how to swim even if I'm on my 50's?
    It's weird because I came from the Philippines, but doesn't know how to swim. Thanks Joe and more power to your channel.

      Try to do some breathing exercises before you go into the water to calm yourself. When you are in the water, go up and down to breathe regularly. Go with someone who can swim to guide you
