![How to float for beginners [Anyone can learn in 5 min]](/img/tr.png)
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....
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.
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.
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?
@@peacelovejoyandhappiness Hi, yes I am on Facebook. FB.com/myswimtopia
Im trying it out tomorrow can’t wait
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.
Back stroke😂
Very true. Make a star shape with your arms and legs outstretched to float on back.
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! :)
same
I know how to swim but it’s very inefficient so I’m just trying to fix that
My pool only goes to 4 feet
@@REVLZM my one goes 5’6
theres a lake we visit that goes like ultra deep in the center so this should be fun
I can swim but I can't tread but when I try this in deep water it work thank you
Glad it works for you.
Omg I was the same and this was so helpful
wowww
I can't swim but when I have goggles I can
@@OVOXO1234561 lol
I laughed so hard at the little girl cracking a smile and then jumping at the camera! Too cute. Thanks for the instructional video :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
From a dad to another dad, you are awesome!
Thank you so much
You definitely watched that news report about a pig named Cris
I have been trying to tread water for years! Your explanations and underwater footage are soooo helpful. Your channel can save lives. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words
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 👍🏾
Thanks. Good luck
Congratulations on learning how to swim and overcoming your fear.
@@flavia5410 Thank you 👍
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!
Your welcome
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.
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.
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
@@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.
I've learned more from this 5mins tutorial than I have in the last 12months of my swim school. How scandalous!? Thank you soo much.
Great that you find it useful
Showed this to my beginner friend to train her! Thank you so much mate💫, love from the UK! 🇬🇧
Just learned how to tread yesterday. It was hard to do when it isnt deep enough. But a lot more easy when when your in the deep end. Just stay close to the side of the pools and dont panic
My son is a child with special needs. We tried to learn basic swimming techniques but he started water treading. We don't know about this technique even it's name. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Glad you find it useful
Very good explanation , i can swim but i,am so scare in deep water , but i will keep your explanation in my Mind . thank you so much !!!!!!
Deep water is so scary lol. I always imagine running out of energy and drowning.
Used to have nightmares of it happening when I was a kid.
Love the little high-pitched excited kid scream before she jumps in - adorable!
She is not so little now 😂
Thank you for the tutorial. I only see egg beater legs, and figure 8 hands. Thank you for showing us other techniques. You have true compassion, that is the sharing of love (knowledge/skills) with others, especially with us strangers.
It's my pleasure. Thanks and good luck
She's such a little cutie - her chillin with the sunglasses on though! It's great to see children so confident and competent in the water. 🥰
Thanks...will make more videos with her in the future
Thank youuu! My family and I just moved into a house with a built in pool and I know how to swim except treading 💕 super helpful and simple
Safety first. Make sure everyone in the family knows how to swim since you got a pool in the house
I'm 38, and I still don't know how to swim. 🥺 I've psyched myself to learn how before the year ends.
Dense same. Well I may not be 38 but I can't swim. I've been trying to learn how to swim for years I even had taken a swimming class but no luck. I hope this year we both will learn how to swim
You've got this
@@Daniel-vn6zr Ohhh we got this!❤️
@@MG-Raiden ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you 🥰
Its okk ......just try day by day .....you will know how to swim
I take swimming lessons but they dont teach me how to thread since i can reach the pool. I needed this so i can go in deep water places :)) TYSM
Glad it helps
Thank you so much. Yes, new learners need to see how legs and arms work separately. Too many in one time for new learners.
I am back here to say thank you.
The tip is to differentiate the sculling and breast stroke movement.
Sculling is the best way but my shoulders were sore
Glad it helps
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.
Good job
This is an excellent step by step guide to a critical self-assist technique. The combination of careful explanation with an underwater demonstrations appeals to a range of learning styles. Thank you!
Glad you like it. Tq
I'm 6ft tall but I was wondering is it possible I can practice treading water in 3ft or 4ft of water?
You are doing god’s work by this video. It could literally save lives! Thankyou so much for this very informative and detailed video.Will definitely try treading now!
Thanks for your kind words
Thank you this was the best video I've watched on water treading, thanks. It finally makes sense
Thanks
Omg thank you so much I can finally swimmmm!!!!!!
This is the greatest questioned I had in my m8nd for a very long time...how to float even when standing position. This is your 2nd video that i watched. I already subscribed. Thanks
This is such a wonderful and easy to understand tutorial. Great job!
One thing, Synchronized Swimmers and Water Polo players do Eggbeater kick in the opposite direction from what is shown here. Both legs should be making circles inward, not outward.
Otherwise, beautifully done, Dad! ❤
Thanks for comments. Will check it out!!!
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!
Oh no glad you are ok. Please learn swimming and other water safety skills
Short and to the point. Thanks.
Thanks glad you like it
Thank you for the video, I can’t tread water but I feel confident learning it this summer with your techniques.
Thanks. Keep me posted about your progress. Tq
If you can explain how to +show the movement slowly (for a longer period of time) the figure 8 arm movement (sculling) and the "egg beater" movement of the legs, instead of just saying it and briefly do it in the water.; then it would help more. Because with a longer slow visual of the movement, the learner can better immitate and replicate what you are teaching. Thank you.🙏
Thanks for the feedback
prr@@Swimtopian
Thank you! I’m going to try those strokes
This is most useful video... Thank you... I have benefitted a lot from you.... My dream has come true when I proudly flaunt that I can stay afloat in deep waters
So happy to hear that....keep up the good work!!
@@Swimtopian Thank you very much Sir...
Thank you very much, Joe, for your friendly lesson. I will practise the advice when I find a deep-enough pool.
I really needed this because I couldn't come with my friends in the deeper pool in a resort because I didn't really know how to swim or float in the pool
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.
Now i know where im wrong . Thankyou for explaining this so clearly . Now i cant wait to go to the pool after this quarantine thing .
I absolutely love this video , thank you so much for sharing. I am going to use these tips for me and my children.
You are so welcome! Glad you like it!
Wow you explained so naturally. I'm learning how to swim and I'll definitely go through your instruction to learn treading. Thanks 😊😊
Thanks. Hope it helps
Thank you for the refresher! We're off to the pool now... :)
Good luck
Now this is useful as well, because i watch a video of how to swim. Now this make learn how to float. Thanks for this video tutorial! This will help me a lot!
thanks! I’m a swim instructor and was having trouble finding a good way to teach treading
Discovered this channel yesterday through this video and i wish i did sooner! I can't swim all i can do is float(but not on my back) and move breastsroke with my head in the water for few seconds then i get tired and can't breath.Watched a couple of beginner tips here and definitely trying them the next time i'm in the
pool.You are heaven sent!Thank you!
Thanks for the kind remarks
Awesome tips! Need to learn this.
Glad that you find this useful
I learned swimming in hongkong by free..and this also will help me for more skills so I won't forget my skills ..thanks for sharing
That's great! Keep it up!
Wow,the best video ,no one explained this nice❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Your explanation was vivid.

This is great! I needed to see something like this. I started doing outrigger and we have to tread water during canoe exchanges.
Hi, glad it helps

You can do it. We are same age. Hahahaha. Please keep me updated about your progress. Tq.
I subscribed thank you!! I have swimming classes tomorrow very excited
Have fun
Informative and useful, I’ll definitely try it next time at the pool. Thank you!
Let me know how it goes
Thanks for this video.... Watching from South Africa.
Thanks for your support!!
I have been learning swimming for roughly 1.5 months now (through coach, in a batch of 20-25 people) and the coach is trying to teach us to stay at one place in water in between swimming from one end to the other. This is specifically tough for me and I am stuck at this point, as I am 5 ft and the most shallow end of the pool is 5.5 ft, so I get scared when I try to stop moving forward in water and then I eventually start going down and drown a bit, although slowly. I'll try implementing this method when I am in the pool tomorrow.
Let me know if it works. All the best. Safety first
Very helpful tips! The girl is so cute and brave! Currently on swimming lesson and will apply what you’ve shared in this video.
Thanks and good luck
Omg tysm, I’m going swimming tmr and I’ll try treading. I bet this will work, thanks :D
Hope it helps. Take care
kid is so cute. love you guys thanks for the instructions.
Your welcome

I hope to try this tomorrow thanks!
Thanks for the tips, more power!
Glad you find it useful
Wow hav been looking for how to learn this. Am so excited to see this. I will try on my next swim❤
Let me know how it went
There're not many things as sweet as swimming.
Great work bro. Thanks for the tips.
Great video Joseph. I request you to create 3 more videos with each technique, it is really helpful to beginners.
I've been doing it my whole life with what I NOW see is the sculling motion plus the eggbeater kick, but I have no memory of when or where I learned to do it, nor who taught me!
Best video I have seen till now ❤️
Thanks a lot
Thank you! I'm eager to try this out.
Pls let me know how it goes
Thank you. That's really helpful!👏👏👏You made it look simple and easy enough for me to follow. I'm quite sure this will help me conquer my fear of drowning. I've subscribed.🙏😊
Glad it helps
This video was very informative and helpful, thank you! ❤
Glad you like it
You are a great coach, Thanks
Thank you
I'll try that in 3m deep pool ty!
Thanks a lot.
Im oj my 30s and learning the basics of swimming. Your video is very helpful.
Glad it helps
Pretty good instructions! I got it right away, thanks so much!
Glad it helps
I learned treading on deep water by myself it was kinda hard and scary at first because one time i didnt know what deep pools were and i drowned lmao...
Ever since i started getting more and more efficient by myself at it, i can probably tread now on an standing position for about 5 mins, and if i lay my back i can probably do it for another 15 mins and then ill do it again and again till i freeze or something
Great to know you are getting better at it.
you drowned and revived yourself to write this comment
Hey i am a bigenner and you really explained it very easily which helped me. Thank you..
Glad it helps
Wow, This Is helpful. Thank u!
It did work
I can tread water for hours but I watched this whole video 👁👄👁
nice
what style do you do
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.
great directions! easy to understand. ty~
Great demonstration
Thanks
I apreciate the effort to help us all.........🥰
You are welcome
Im 11 years old now i know how to swim thank you so much😊
Thank you for your simple clear explanation I have a drowning phobia fear of deep water because I drowned in a pool when I was a kid so it was difficult for me to learn how to float but know how to swim thank you for your lesson sir
Instructions very clear , i am now able to fly
I went Into a waterpark 2 weeks ago, They had a Pool in the middle of the water park and Me and my friends went there to refresh ourselves From the heat and sun, When I tried to put arm under water, I immediately Sank and got up, I didnt even know how to Put my legs in the water to make myself float, And I kept struggling through the day, Now seeing this, Huge thanks to you, next time when I go to a Pool I'd try this.
Glad it helps
Thanks, I need this training
Super useful and essential skill
Yes, I purposely searched this tutorial for our coming beach trip because it's been 2 years since I last went to the beach (which obviously is because of the pandemic) and I'm too old to be seen jumping up and down like a kid just to stay afloat on the water :'>>
Enjoy the beach and stay safe
Yess i can swim just couldnt tread.. gonna try this summer hopefully
Thnx ill try this on sunday see if t works
Ok great. Let me know how it goes
@@Swimtopian it worked . Thnx again ❤
Gotta try that bicycle kick i need swimming skills for fireman job❤
And that egg beater
THANK you so much 🙏 i was flooing like a fish lol nice funny video
Thanks I never water treading was so easy and do able in small heights
Yes practice more!! Its very useful
I will learn to swim or drown this summer dang it!
The video is useful..I am little confused regarding Egg beater kick..
1..left leg clockwise,Right leg anti clockwise. Both inside motion.
2.=left leg anti clockwise ,right leg clockwise,both outside movement.
Are both ok or only first one is to be used.yiur video i feel you are using the 2nd option..Pl advise if both are ok or which as a coach you advise
Thanks
Hi, yes I used the second option in my video because I find that easier. I have tried the first one it is harder and very unnatural for me.
Please try and let me know
Very helpful can’t wait to try this
lol watching this while im in the pool cause I wanna join my cousins but im too short 😂
I can barely swim to save my life and thank you I will try to do this in my nearest pool
