Let me know if you have tried any of the method discussed above. Which method is easiest for you to pick up? Do you have any other way to keep yourself afloat? Cheers....

[@inx1819]

the easiest is the bicycle kick but it's not good. the one i do when I'm in a relatively shallow pool is I simply go down and jump off the floor and take a breath on the surface, it's not tiring and also fun to do.

[@LadyJoolree]

I've been learning as a new swimmer off and on during the various lockdowns and I can tread water for 3 minutes now! So proud of myself, especially as I've almost drowned multiple times in my life and had a fear of being out of my depth. I figure of 8 with my hands and vertical breast stroke with my feet. Could never coordinate with that last foot action, but I'll give it a try now that I'm better at it.
I've also realised that when I go slow and don't panic, just feel the water supporting you, you use a lot less energy and can breathe almost normally, even as an asthmatic. Thanks for the tips.

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

Hi Average Joe. Are you on Facebook and Instagram? I would like to follow you. I really could use to ask for support in becoming a better swimmer. I would like to participate more in triathlons. Thank you in advance. How can I find you? Under what names please?

[@danfg7215]

One important point is to also learn how to float on your back, something you can and should always resort to help relax if anxious or tired from treading or swimming.

[@binaiferk4007]

Back stroke😂

[@69footballgoats]

Very true. Make a star shape with your arms and legs outstretched to float on back.

[@rokoshoneo1008]

I never properly learned how to swim, nor did i get taught how to water tread. I almost drowned when i was 6 and have been scared of deep waters ever since. I'm 5'7" and sometimes the 5 ft end of the pool scares me because my head is just barely above the water. This video was very helpful, thank you! :)

Thanks for this. I only just learned to swim in my 40s as I had a very close drowning episode in my life when I was 7. I had fear of the water. My partner pushed me to learn and I can now swim but I can't tread for some reason. This helps a lot. I will give this a go 👍🏾

Deep water is so scary lol. I always imagine running out of energy and drowning.

[@Johnnyy832]

Used to have nightmares of it happening when I was a kid.

[@33Jenesis]

I almost died in a hotel pool deep end when I was 10, causing fear of drowning thus unable to relax in water. I have been learning how to swim since last year, now able to do breaststroke and free style. However, threading water in deep end is still difficult for me. I am going to add this drill to my daily pool time. Thank you coach Joe!

[@Swimtopian]

Your welcome

[@kiremah]

You can do it! Someday you will, same way you over came. Same thing happened to me, and I am learning while I am over forty years old.

[@taurian551]

Same happened with me in childhood when my friend saved me from drowning in his pool. But that was because of my stupidity to dive into a pool with open mouth underwater and then panicking, drinking water. Now I'm 40, went to a lake's beach end, relaxed and floated suddenly, pushed myself forward and viola....learnt swimming on my own. Swam underwater in shallow waters for a good distance. All through I just stayed very calm and relaxed. Treading in deep water is something that excites me more but I will take it one step at a time. Make sure to have at least 1-2 swimmers with you and take all necessary safety precautions in advance.

[@naniidoodles]

Same thing happened to me when I was little but I recently got into swimming. I hope I'll get better at it like you have! Your comment gives me hope

[@33Jenesis]

@@naniidoodles you can do it! I did it at almost 60. Since my comment I managed to practice almost everyday, improving both styles and can tread water in deep end now. I’ve also lost fat and gained muscle.

My coach taught me this by swimming me to the deep end of the pool, and leaving me there. First couple times i followed him, but then i got what he was trying to have me do. Float on my own.

[@roxy5659]

I find it really interesting how something that is second nature to me had never been taught to others. Treading water is very useful, but I am a lifeguard and it is one of the skills I see the least of. It is actually on the lifeguard exam, you have to tread water without your arms for two minutes.

[@aswadtariq]

I had never learnt swimming. Couple months ago my kayak flipped over in a deep lake. While I had a life-vest, it was not tied properly. As such I was floating sideways and had much trouble with breathing. Luckily I had a few friends around who helped me out and dragged me to the shore. Since then I had developed a strong fear towards water. However, I wish to overcome this fear by finally learning how to swim, in order to survive and possibly enjoy the waters. Thank you for this video!

I can tread water for hours but I watched this whole video 👁👄👁

[@yoboiufeelme]

nice

[@andreaalvarado6259]

what style do you do

[@nikolairose2739]

how teach me sempai. Does it come with time or is it just technique? Or is is breathe control that's most important?
My experience swimming below.
I know how to swim, but I'm not super confident in my skill at the beach yet. Today I lost my breathe control after a wave hit me and my feet couldn't touch the ground, I tried to tread water but my strength seemed to fail me and my breathe grew even more erratic, I had to retreat by swimming back to shore before I lost all strength and drowned.
I think it was the fact that I had been swimming without breathing that led me to panic. I was short on breathe and that led to me sinking, I also felt weaker because it was just post a swim without oxygen which exhausted my muscles.
I took a break at the shore, then once the air had gotten to my muscles, I returned to the water with a focus on breathe and didn't hyperventilate again. But still. I can't imagine treading water for hours. Maybe in calm water.
Lessons:
When swimming , breathe constantly, just as if you were still on water.
Don't try and tread water when your muscles feel fatigued.
Don't try and tread water when you are hyperventilating and struggle to intake oxygen.
