    I learnt swimming at 45. Because of severe fear of water and the deep, it took me over 2 months to become comfortable with just floating and standing in water. People laughed but the perseverance has paid off. I am very glad I learnt how to swim.

      I almost drowned in my high school swimming pool (about age 16 or 17), and I haven't been in a pool since. Although that was very traumatic for me, I would still like to learn.

    27 year old here 👋🏻 I took swimming lessons two years ago by a very disrespectful teacher who undermined my fear of the water. Although I was determined how to swim so I decided to enjoy it. She didn’t teach me how to stay afloat and my head out of water first. I was introduced into the pool with my head in at all times. 😐 I couldn’t even bring myself to be in the middle of the pool at the end of my lessons. Always reaching out for the wall basically hugging it.
    This year, I’ve decided to go on vacation and try to learn how to swim bc I’ve come across this video. I was afraid of the pool, so I tried these moves in the sea where it was shallow bc sea makes you float easily. After three days, I was basically trying to coordinate my arms and legs better. I got more comfortable in the water I was able to play around. Another three days later i decided to get in the pool and I just found myself swimming freely with my head out first. And then I tried out putting my head in and just breathing out and now I can just swim. It’s unbelievable for me. Thank you for the instructions and thank god i’ve come across this video 🎉😊

This year i went back and tried your suggestions and technique and started floating in just 10 mins and swimming in the next hour. I truly am grateful towards this video.

I started training, then I came across this video and applied some of the techniques which really helped me get my last session right impressing my Trainer. lolz I am glad I watched it and following more - I would like to kindly suggest on making videos about breathing role in swimming. Thats probably one reason I couldnt get it right until my last session. You watch so many videos' where they dont technically guide you on where to control breathing, because in reality, beginner swimmers like myself use their own which is incorrect in most of the cases.

    I've been swimming for so long, I forget there are people who need a tutorial to swim.
    Just keep at it, yall. Swim with someone who knows how to swim and can swim for two people. Keep your lungs at least half filled with air. Swimming is about using your arms more than your legs (don't kick wildly, I know it's natural, but it's 80% arms). Stay in the shallow end until you're comfortable in the shallow. It's easier to move forward than stay in place. Don't panic if you fall in the water unexpectedly.

      @@yagirl_tola It might be one of two things. One, you're not straightening your back enough as you propel forward (your back should be almost tense trying to keep your back straight), or two because you're not kicking enough. Don't kick too much cuz you'll wear yourself out, but it should be enough they begin to partially penetrqte the surface behind you.
      Another thing, if you swim by keeping your face above the water the entire time, that would be a cause too. Experienced swimmers doing the front crawl swim keep their faces down in the water, and surfacing their face every second stroke in order to take a breath. That technique allows them to remain streamlined in the water.
      Hope it helps.

    This is a good video. The way I was taught to swim, my friend’s brother told me to take a deep breath and try to sink down by curling into a ball. I couldn’t. From there he said as long as you have air in your lungs and you’re not trying to swim down you won’t go under and it’s just about using your arms and legs to move around and keep your head above. I started swimming instantly from that moment.

      Let me know!! This might not work for people who have a particularly low body fat percentage but it should work for most. Just of course be sure to try in the shallow end. Good luck!! 🤞

    Y'all I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to swim. I'm 27 and trying to get into kayaking of all things because my friends do it.

      Don't feel bad I'm 28 years old and I can't swim back when I was a child my parents couldn't afford to get me swimming lessons but now I want to swim so I thought maybe there's a video on UA-cam that might help me and so I found this I will give it ago

      you'll learn how to swim dont worry about it. im 16 and i've learned to swim mostly by myself. i remember once when i was about 9-10 i almost drowned in a lake but my cousin jumped in and helped me. and the next day he started to teach me how to do it and after that i was just practicing by myself. you can just ask any friend of yours that knows how to swim to teach you its much easier that way

    Hi friends, I'm learning to swim in Thailand now, 57 , ,in the pool at my condo. It's amazing, I learned to do backstroke with my pfd on. Today I started to swim in my stomach. Felt a little scared, but now getting the hang of it. Decided to come to UA-cam University to pick up on some tip. Your video was helpful, thanks for making it. Will keep you posted. All the best

    Great video. Straight to the point. Totally non-pretentious, no a** hanging out, nothing like that. Thanks. I was watching a woman's learn to swim video, and she was all about her behind hanging out and showing off for the cameras.
