      Sir i joined swimming 5 Days back and since breathing is the biggest panic to me watching your videos i think i will perform better in coming days
      the best Drill is : Being comfortable inside.

  • @lyhthegreat
    @lyhthegreat 3 роки тому +81

    im an adult and i basically learnt swimming in 4 weeks (breaststroke & water treading) all by myself just by going to the pool once every week and watching youtube tutorials to correct my mistakes when im home. The first time i was able to swim 1 lap across the pool it felt absolutely incredible. I feel like i have an advantage as an adult as i basically have zero phobia of going into the deep ends since i'm tall enough and i know that i will be fine as long as i stay near to the edge of the pool so that i can grab onto it should anything happen. And yeah, one of the most important about swimming is that you'll have to stay relaxed and not be tensed when in the water. learning how to tread water first before learning the strokes was also helpful too.

      I've ALWAYS said I can "swim well enough to save myself"
      Maybe a kid or CALM adult depending on water/conditions.
      I know this because I've had too. Granted it WAS NOT pretty. 😂😂😂
      Do you remember any of the videos you watched? I'd really like to learn how. It'd help with my disabilities/recovery, etc

    Today is the 2nd day i learn to swim. And this video (and the other videos in this tutorial) helped me alot. At the 1st day, my teacher seems quite hopeless cause i kept drowning no matter how hard he try to helped. Thought i will never able to float. And then i went home, searched on youtube and saw this video. I've watched it 3 or 4 times to remember. And then today, i finally can float after just about 5 minutes go to the water. And my teacher said that it was a huge improvement. Thanks you guys alot for making these amazing videos.

    It's good to see a channel actually talk about the importance of the air in the lungs.
    So many channels talk about laying "on" the water. They don't have a clue what they're talking about.
    Also as a side note: I've taught for 14 years and can confirm it's much easier to teach someone who's a complete beginner and willing to learn the BASICS.
    It's so much harder to teach someone that has picked up bad habbits over the years.

The whole thing is just getting comfortable with floating and having your face in the water, these exercises really really helped me! Thank you, great vid... There's hope for us all :')

But they are too busy so I couldn't get any instructors. So now I must relearn swimming again by doing some correct exercises. This video is so helpful. I will do it every day now before I start swimming again. I liked all the drills and they seem to be the kind that will also relax my back.

    I have watched and read articles about swimming and never could have confidence that the lessons shown were enough to improve my Technique.
    Typically - I would swim 4-6 25M lengths and gas out all the time. I’d be so fatigued that I could only do that 1-2-3 times and I was wrecked / busted !
    This LESSON that when the lungs is without air the body sinks and creates drag is the Information I was looking for. I always new I needed to improve the breathing technique but it felt pointless because I was so exhausted in the water.
    This is an EXCELLENT Lesson.

    Such an informative video. Just need to follow the steps you have given. I did the step where you roll yourself like baby and float in water. After doing it few times I thought to give it a go for swimming and I could literally swim.
    Next week I will be following video 2 so that I can get control of breathing for doing longer laps. I could only swim shorter lap because did not see your next videos. I was not expecting my self to swim on first day. I can not say enough thanks to you. Thank you so so much.

    Difference between a dude telling you some things and a real good Coach is the deep understanding and sense for the important little details.
    I learnt so many sports in my life and it was always the same. Most coaches are simply not good while being full of themselves. missing the most important details. And you only become mediocre with them.
    This guy here knows how to coach.

    The entire video! And series.
    I have a love/hate relationship with water.
    I LOVE it. I DO NOT love the feeling of instability/not being able to feel something; i NEED to know something is there in case I need it.
    That's the only way I know how to describe it.
    When I was little, it was the steps, the bar, or wall of the pool (or my mother. Lol)
    (NOT my oldest sister after one incident where I almost drowned in the lake!) even with my mom, when I was around the age of five, I still wanted to be somewhat close to the wall.
    but as I got older, I was able to venture out more; partially because I was getting taller. Lol.
    and now, once I get comfortable in the pool, lake, etc. I’m good. I like to lay out on floats, but I have to get on the float properly before I can let go of that “stable object“.
    as for the no goggles, absolutely cannot do that. Another thing about water that bothers me is my contacts are EXPENSIVE and without them, I legally am blind. I need them as safe as possible.
    I have noticed that I seem too be MORE comfortable in [some] open water than in a pool. ESPECIALLY if there are a good amount of people in the pool. Love the ocean. Though the waves weren't always nice, they DID always bring me back to shore!!
    Thank you for these videos. I'm going to find a place where I can practice!

    My main issue is breathing. I feel like I am still breathing out when I turn my head for air. Then dont have time to take a breath in before my next stroke. Do I just need to slow it down and take full deliberate breaths instead about breathing every 2-3 strokes?

    Gonna try these. I sometimes get scared and panic in the middle of the swim even though I can swim okay now. 😅 Kinda sad when I think back of my swimming lessons as a kid. The instructor never told us how to kick more efficiently or what to do with our arms or even basic breathing. I only knew how to float up until a month ago so I watch videos only to test out things by myself.

    Bravo and thank you Swimup!!!Didn’t know how to swim and felt terrified of H20. Paid $240 at my local YMCA this month for 8 private lessons. Felt angry at instructor for not showing me any techniques and for not being more patience with me. Remembering knowledge is power & that I’m more than a conqueror, I looked for videos to offer me “tutoring,” and found this excellent one first. Loved the techniques, helping a lot. I practice by myself between lessons and have improved markedly. Have five lessons to go.

      Watch Tim Ferris and his Ted talk about full immersion swimming. Don't start with freestyle.. Just watch him for inspiration :) then learn how to swim frog style. The way I see it.. If I can frog swim.. I'm safe for the moment.. If the water can't kill me.. I become relaxed and get better till I can start with freestyle.
