    Great video! Definitely has great points. I never thought about someone first needing to be able to float with face in the water then turn!

    • @NerdmaidFaith
      @NerdmaidFaith  9 місяців тому +4

      It's an important self-rescue skill and shows that one is comfortable with their face being under the water and then transitioning to breathing at the top of the water! I like to make sure that folks have these basics down before disorienting them further in a tail

    10:00 Only reason I’m so attached to my earplugs is because of that one time I got an ear infection in my youth. Was banned from the water until it healed, and cannot swim without them without getting mortified of being shore-ridden once again.

    Today I've learned that my typical ways of swimming and hanging out in the water are the things used in Mermaiding. There's hope for me yet. 😱💙 Also good to know that it's totally valid to wear goggles since chlorine and I are not friends at all. Would probably get one stylized to look like glasses to connect with my dry fellow glasses wearers. Even better if I could get a customized pair of prescription goggles.

    Thank you this will help Soo much. Now I do have a question. Do or or anyone know any exercises that would help to transition into swimming I like a mermaid. Like any exercises that I can do outside off the water that would help make learning to swim like a mermaid or swim in general easier. Something that doesn't require much pressure on the knees (messed up my left knee pretty badly and use a cane to walk around). Sorry if I'm being confusing, I'm not good at explaining things. Since I don't have access to any pool nor have the money to learn how to swim (hell I don't have the money to get me knee check up sadly) I want to what I can do before I go into the water.

    • @dragongirl3881
      @dragongirl3881 Рік тому +2

      I am absolutely not an expert, but I swim underwater with my hand covering my nose often, and trying to do a full body maneuver like the dolphin kick with a hand over your nose may be annoying or make it harder to do, so I’d probably get a nose plug, although I haven’t practiced enough to say for sure
