This is a great video. I appreciate that you include visuals and explain how and why each body part needs to be positioned correctly. I also love that you show how the motions look outside of the water!
thank you, i've been a decent swimmer in the pool but recently found my love in water sport, and during my activity out in the sea I found myself have no ability to be calm in the water because usually when I try to float and rest i tend to use the wrong way to tread water and exhaust myself in a short period of time. I really learn a lot from this video, thank you.
thank you Chris Burton , i do not know how to tread until i came across you. i have a swimming birthday party in a couple of weeks and i do not know how to tread water but you showed me how to and i will definitely try it out , again thank you.
Good lesson.I used to teach survival swimming .what I found useful was to (in addition to this film clip)teach bobbing.Bobbing ,when done properly ,can be done for extended periods of time
fully detailed video ...thanks for clearing a very small details helps to understand the method of staying above the water.. even thou I can't till now !
Thank you, im just re-learning how to swim. I was never taught to tread water, but i was taught that back float with finning, and that seems to be the only way i can swim now. I'm going to change that =) About to hit up the pool
Thanks for posting such nice video, you have made it so simple to understand. I am taking my swimming lessons and will sure give it a try. I really wish if you were in Canada.
Wow what an explanation sir. Kudos to you for all your efforts to teach in a lay man terms. I am going to try it today but I know it's not remotely as simple as it looks when you guys do it. LOL
Well, if you have trouble, I have another video that provides some drills to help you work up to it. Treading Water Drills - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html
This video is my golden goal in water survival or life saving of my families. Thanks coach ... I still can't do it ... after several month trial ... wow ... Super Easy to watch and extremely hard to do ... But, yes I did the last technic ... ouitamate ... or sleeping in the water technic ... special for you, coach ... I did ouitamate across hundred meter of swimming pool with that ...
+Ichsan H. Pranoto - I have another video that provides some drills that will help you work up to it (Treading Water Drills - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html). Start shallow and work your way deeper.
I’m seeing this not as an egg beater but as butt kicks and a slight whip of the ankle at the top just before the foot comes down. Do your hamstrings burn like crazy doing this? Also, I noticed you’re body position is not like sitting in a chair. I’ve been struggling with treading for years and maybe the egg beater, sitting in a chair like position, isn’t the method for me? But if I do it like the video shown, maybe then I can tread? I’m not sure. But I’m negative in the water so I’m wondering if this will help? I need to be able to treat head and wrists out of water for more than 5 minutes
If I'm trying to hold up a child while teaching lessons, then I might get out of breath doing this. However, treading water shouldn't be a workout. If your movements are smooth, fluid, and relaxed, then you shouldn't expend a lot of energy doing this. If you can't use your hands, you'll have to work at becoming more proficient with the kick. Try tilting or leaning towards your back a little bit, this might make it easier for you to stay afloat. Good luck!
That's a little exaggerated. Oh should I mention that I'm trying this to reduce fatigue, I can swim but I'm looking for a way that's less tired. Humans can naturally swim when thrown in water, just calmly and conservatively use ur energy to keep yourself in a position where u can still breathe and maneuver in the water. That's how I taught myself to swim because as long as u hav the brains u can do anything.
My point is u exaggerated my point where an elementary kid could've easily learned and tried. What do u mean and whats with the die. I do have experience swimming . I'm just lookin for a way where I can stay afloat in one place and use up less energy. This will come in handy when playing water polo and other related sports. This is like a kid's move in water and its easy to learn so how u think I hav a hard time with this. This is more safer to do then trying somersaults and backflips. Its water and the pool not in the middle of the ocean. What part of this don't u understand?
Thank You! I will try it today. It's the 3rd day at pool . I can't swim , but in these 2 days I learned the front float. The problem I have is at back float keeping head up and torso up and in breastroke with legs.. I panic andy head goes down so I can't breathe. Even the teacher does not help.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out of town. I cover back floats a bit in this video about Backstroke (ua-cam.com/video/nbG7uKqo2CA/v-deo.html - Swimming: Backstroke for Beginners). As for breaststroke, you might find these videos helpful (Breaststroke Kick Drills - ua-cam.com/video/v61nEYUb5_0/v-deo.html , Breaststroke for Beginners - ua-cam.com/video/QcxPUQu57uU/v-deo.html , & Breaststroke Beginner Drills - ua-cam.com/video/b08GpbAHYWw/v-deo.html). Keep working at it.
+John Staley - I'm working on a video response to your question. If the footage that I took today turns out okay, I should have an answer for you by the end of the weekend.
+John Staley - Basically, you'll want to practice the motions in the shallow end and then work your way deeper. This video explains what I mean - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html - Hope it helps. Good luck!
Try to stay relaxed as much as possible. Use smooth, fluid movements. Water doesn't necessarily respond to brute force. The more tense you are the harder it is to float and tread. I have another video (ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html) that has drills beginners can use to work their way up to independent treading. Perhaps, it might help as well.
Perhaps, you can find a local instructor to work with. Until then, this video provides drills that beginners can use to work their way up to independent treading. Treading Water Drills - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html
From my perspective, I'd say that one leg goes clockwise and the other legs goes counter clockwise. I'm pressing or extending my leg out to the side and sweeping it underneath my body on the recovery. It's almost like doing breaststroke kick one leg at a time.
Back floats are probably the number one safety skill for that age. We often practice jumping in the water (feet first), rolling to your back float for a breath, and recovering back to the wall.
Could you please please also post a video for easiest way to breath in Freestyle swimming? I love your style of teaching and watched all of your videos I especially like you using the objects like ball drill for scissor kick , Can for showing the foot position in water trading and pencil and paper for illustrating breast stroke its simply marvelous .
nonoo rashid Right now, I have a couple of videos that touch on side-breathing. I'll see if I can put something together that covers anything that I've missed, but it may not be until next month.

In order to tread for longer periods of time, you'll want to scull with a smooth, fluid, relaxed motion. If you are just starting out, you may need a faster motion to stay afloat, but as you become more comfortable in the water, you'll want to transition to a sculling motion that is more effortless and utilizes less energy.
is it wrong if I did the egg beater kick where my left leg is going counter clockwise and my right leg going clockwise? I feel more stable and able to stay more afloat this way? or does it have to be left leg clockwise and right leg counter clockwise?
1 00:00:01,413 --> 00:00:03,224 Today I'm going to review treading water 오늘 저는 입영(물 밟기, treading water)을 살펴보겠습니다. 2 00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:05,133 We will go over the sculling motion, 다룰 내용은 손 젓기(sculling) 동작, 3 00:00:05,299 --> 00:00:06,168 eggbeater kick, 달걀 차기(eggbeater kick), 4 00:00:06,608 --> 00:00:07,374 the full stroke, 전체 영법, 5 00:00:07,616 --> 00:00:08,858 and treading alternatives. 그리고 대체 영법들입니다. 6 00:00:10,956 --> 00:00:15,538 Treading water is often one of the first skills that parents want me to teach their child. 입영(물 밟기, treading water)은 부모님들이 아이들에게 가장 먼저 가르쳐달라고 저에게 요청하는 기술입니다. 7 00:00:16,227 --> 00:00:21,995 However, treading water properly with a relaxed sculling motion and eggbeater kick is a more advanced skill. 하지만, 손으로는 편하게 젓고, 다리로는 달걀 차기를 하면서, 올바르게 물을 밟는 것은 상당히 고급 기술입니다. 8 00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:27,880 From a safety perspective, a comfortable relaxed back float is your most critical life-saving skill. 수상 안전의 관점에서 본다면, 편안하게 드러누워 떠 있는 것이 가장 중요한 생존 기술입니다. 9 00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:34,692 It's not uncommon for young swimmers to be able to back float or even swim back stroke for a longer than they can trip. 어린 수영선수가 드러누워 떠 있거나 심지어 배영을 하면서, 훨씬 더 오래 버틸 수 있는 것은 드물지 않습니다. 10 00:00:36,427 --> 00:00:40,942 Maintaining a vertical up and down body position requires a good feel for the water. 몸을 수직인 자세로 버티려면 물에 대한 감각이 좋아야 합니다. 11 00:00:42,563 --> 00:00:45,774 Most beginners want to use dog paddle arms and running legs. 대부분의 초보자는 팔로는 개처럼 젓고 마치 뛰는 것처럼 다리를 움직이려 합니다. 12 00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:48,833 This can get tiring over a short period of time. 이렇게 하면 금방 지치게 됩니다. 13 00:00:52,362 --> 00:00:54,955 You want to use your hands like fan blades. 손은 마치 선풍기 날개처럼 사용해야 합니다. 14 00:00:55,228 --> 00:01:00,907 The angle of your hands and how it moves through the water can create downward pressure without pushing down. 물속에서 손의 각도를 잘 맞추어 움직이면, 아래로 내리누르는 움직임 없이도 하강 압력을 생성할 수 있습니다. 15 00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:07,025 If I want to put this candle out I certainly don't want to push straight down. 이 촛불을 끄기 위해, 손을 곧장 아래로 내리누르지 않습니다. 16 00:01:07,543 --> 00:01:10,801 However, hook side-to-side motion surprisingly does the trick. 하지만, 놀랍게도 옆에서 옆으로 휘두르면 금방 꺼집니다. 17 00:01:11,361 --> 00:01:16,857 By changing the angle of my hands I create downward air pressure that puts the candle out. 손바닥의 깃각(pitch, 손바닥 각도)을 바꿈으로써, 아래로 내려가는 공기의 흐름이 만들어지고, 촛불은 꺼지게 됩니다. 18 00:01:21,266 --> 00:01:27,603 In the water, a slower yet similar hand motion helps create the downward pressure that is needed to stay afloat while treading. 물속에서도, 느리지만 비슷한 손의 움직임을 통해, 아래로 내려가는 물의 흐름을 만들 수 있고, 이 힘으로 입영(물 밟기, treading)할 때 떠 있을 수 있게 됩니다. 19 00:01:30,427 --> 00:01:34,142 I often introduced the sculling or finning motion when teaching back floats. 저는 종종 "누워 뜨기"(back float)를 가르칠 때, 손 젓기를 함께 가르칩니다. 20 00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:37,487 It gives kids better grabbing something to do with their hands. 아이들은 손으로 물을 더 잘 잡을 수 있게 됩니다. 21 00:01:38,946 --> 00:01:43,635 Notice I'm using the side-to-side motion with my arms while changing the angle of my hands. 손바닥의 각도를 변화시키면서 팔을 옆에서 옆으로 움직이고 있는 것을 잘 보시기 바랍니다. 22 00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:51,067 Here I'm utilizing the same hand and arm motion in a vertical treading body position. 이제 입영(treading water, 물 밟기) 자세에서도 손과 팔을 이용해 똑같은 움직임을 합니다. 23 00:01:51,826 --> 00:01:53,954 My hands scull out and together. 두 손을 바깥쪽으로 저었다가 모읍니다. 24 00:01:54,638 --> 00:01:55,800 Out and together. 벌리고, 모으고. 25 00:01:56,488 --> 00:01:59,941 I can feel the pressure of the water against my hands throughout the stroke. 젓는 내내 손바닥에 닿는 물의 압력을 느낄 수 있습니다. 26 00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:03,982 If I speed it up I can lift myself farther out of the water. 움직이는 속도를 늘리면, 제 몸을 물 밖으로 더 높은 위치까지 들어 올릴 수도 있습니다. 27 00:02:06,491 --> 00:02:09,474 In general though, I'm just trying to keep it slow and steady. 하지만 보통은, 그냥 느리면서 꾸준하게 하려고 노력합니다. 28 00:02:12,311 --> 00:02:16,781 As we move on to the kick, if I want to crush this can, (is) what I use a point of the toe? 이제 밟기로 넘어가면서, 만약 이 깡통을 찌그러뜨리려 할 때, 발끝으로 할까요? 29 00:02:18,648 --> 00:02:21,074 No. I keep my foot flattened. 아니요. 발은 평평하게 둡니다. 30 00:02:24,554 --> 00:02:28,260 Similar to breaststroke, we push or kick with the sole of our foot. 평영과 비슷하게, 발바닥의 바깥 부분을 이용해 누릅니다. (또는 찹니다.) 31 00:02:31,596 --> 00:02:34,663 Eggbeater kick gets its name from the motion of the legs. 달걀 차기라는 이름은 다리의 움직임에서 따온 것입니다. 32 00:02:35,286 --> 00:02:38,633 First time pushing down and out. Then bringing my leg in and up. 처음에는 바깥쪽으로 누르고, 그다음 안쪽으로 다리를 올립니다. 33 00:02:39,301 --> 00:02:40,489 One leg at a time. 한 번에 다리 하나씩. 34 00:02:40,852 --> 00:02:42,182 Down and out, in and up. 바깥으로 누르고, 안으로 올리고. 35 00:02:42,701 --> 00:02:44,000 Down and out, in and up. 바깥으로 누르고, 안으로 올리고. 36 00:02:46,472 --> 00:02:48,120 Here I'm doing the kick in the water. 물속에서 제가 달걀 차기를 하고 있습니다. 37 00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:50,904 Stay nice and tall. Don't curl up in a ball. 몸을 길게 유지하세요. 공 모양으로 웅크리지 마십시요. 38 00:02:51,436 --> 00:02:55,483 While my knees are bending significantly, I'm not bringing them up to my chest. 무릎을 많이 구부리긴 합니다만, 가슴까지 올리지는 않습니다. 39 00:02:56,441 --> 00:02:58,029 I'm kicking from the waist down. 허리 아래쪽으로 차고 있습니다. 40 00:02:58,489 --> 00:03:00,028 My kick is kind of lazy here. 밟는 것이 좀 느리긴 합니다. 41 00:03:00,326 --> 00:03:02,750 But you only want to kick hard enough to stay afloat. 하지만 그냥 떠 있을 만한 정도로만 밟는 것이 좋습니다. 42 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,280 As I hold up the diving brick, the egg beater motion is much more noticeable. 다이빙 벽돌을 들면서, 달걀 차기 동작은 훨씬 더 눈에 띄게 됩니다. 43 00:03:16,591 --> 00:03:19,136 I'm getting kind of cocky here and trying two bricks. 제 실력을 뽐내려고 벽돌 두 개를 들어 보입니다. 44 00:03:19,694 --> 00:03:21,367 But I couldn't keep that up for long. 하지만 이 자세로 오랫동안 버티지는 못합니다. 45 00:03:26,654 --> 00:03:29,907 As I put the arms and legs together, I want to finish my kick, 두 팔을 모으는 동작에, 밟는 움직임을 끝내려고 합니다, 46 00:03:30,406 --> 00:03:34,946 or, stomp as I finish the out-sweep and or in-sweep of my arms. 즉, 팔로 바깥 쓸기나 안으로 쓸기 동작을 마무리하는 시점에, 발로 눌러 밟습니다. 47 00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,084 Stomp! Stomp! 밟고! 밟고! 48 00:03:37,445 --> 00:03:38,547 Kick! Kick! 차고! 차고! 49 00:03:38,732 --> 00:03:40,239 Sweep out! Sweep in! 밖으로 쓸고! 안으로 쓸고! 50 00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:48,909 While treading water is an important safety skill, there are alternatives. 입영(물 밟기, treading water)이 중요한 수상안전 기술입니다만, 대체 기술들이 있습니다. 51 00:03:49,681 --> 00:03:52,910 A good back float with some light finning can be just as effective. 손으로 약하게 저으면서 누워 떠 있는 기술은 입영만큼 효율적입니다. 52 00:03:55,833 --> 00:04:03,604 The current Boy Scout and US Navy Swim Test emphasize Prone Floats or Survival Floating for 5 minutes as opposed to treading water. 현재 미국의 보이스카우트나 해군 수영 테스트에서는 입영(물 밟기, treading water)과는 달리, 5분 동안 엎드려 뜨기 혹은 생존 뜨기를 강조합니다. 53 00:04:04,682 --> 00:04:06,629 Figure out what works best for you. 어떤 것이 자신에게 적합한지 알아보세요.
It's difficult to say because I don't know where you are starting from. Obviously, you'd need to rely on a strong kick. You can use the egg beater kick as I show in this video, or you can experiment with breaststroke kick (ua-cam.com/video/v61nEYUb5_0/v-deo.html). I'd lean or cheat a little bit towards my backside so that I could switch to a back float if need be. Practice in neck/shoulder deep water so that you can stand up/put your feet down if need be (ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html). In order of priority: #1 - Learn Back Float, #2 - Learn/Add kick (egg beater or breaststroke), #3 - Transition to a more vertical treading position. I hope this helps.
This is kind of an aside...after diving in the water or treading (basically just being in a vertical position), how do you return to a swimming/streamline position?
Tilt your head back and lift your hips/stomach up to get to a back float position. Lean forward and put your face in to get to a front float position. These videos address beginning backstroke and freestyle in more detail. (Backstroke for Beginners - ua-cam.com/video/nbG7uKqo2CA/v-deo.html, Preparing Beginning Swimmers for Freestyle - ua-cam.com/video/2XQy3pfniKk/v-deo.html)
Wish I had come across this video before I nearly drowned in deep end because of a severe painful leg cramp. I was in 9 ft. I couldn't swim at all and all I could only do was sink sink and sink! Had the worst panic attack of my life ... Floating saved my life!!

This is the best video on treading water and staying afloat.
I have to agree. The fan blades and stomping analogies he used made it easier to understand. Treding water has been the one swimming skill I could not grasp. The arm and leg motions performed simutaneoulsy, always messed me up. The way he explained it, I immediatley understood. I can't wait to go try it out.

I swear this is the best lessons I have ever seen
This is the best explanation ever. Genius is simplistic & that candle example was awesome.
thank you, i've been a decent swimmer in the pool but recently found my love in water sport, and during my activity out in the sea I found myself have no ability to be calm in the water because usually when I try to float and rest i tend to use the wrong way to tread water and exhaust myself in a short period of time. I really learn a lot from this video, thank you.
Best video that thoroughly explains how to float with visual aids!! Thanks!
So glad I found this. I have difficulty finding alternative explanations when teaching treading and your video is AWESOME.
Here are some drill that you may find useful as well (Treading Water Drills - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html)
One of the BEST Treading Water Videos. Thank you for sharing.
Cool video. Nice scientific explanation, showing fan blades, can and a candle flame.
I wish you were my swim instructor. This was so much better than any lessons I've ever had.
best treading explanation ever among rest of all other treading water lessons
This is much better information than the others videos i seen!
Will try this method tomorrow at my apt complex pool. Definitely the best tutorial on treading I've seen so far.

thank you Chris Burton , i do not know how to tread until i came across you. i have a swimming birthday party in a couple of weeks and i do not know how to tread water but you showed me how to and i will definitely try it out , again thank you.
This is the only video I've found helpful in learning how to tread water. Thank you!
REALLY great lesson on how to tread water. entertaining and easy to understand, thanks
Thanks you, the addition of the science behind it is very helpful. The fan analogy is great
Best example given to understand mechanic...

Adorei o vídeo, eu estou aprendendo essa flutuação.
Thanks i will try it...
Great video, thanks!
I’m seeing this not as an egg beater but as butt kicks and a slight whip of the ankle at the top just before the foot comes down. Do your hamstrings burn like crazy doing this? Also, I noticed you’re body position is not like sitting in a chair. I’ve been struggling with treading for years and maybe the egg beater, sitting in a chair like position, isn’t the method for me? But if I do it like the video shown, maybe then I can tread? I’m not sure. But I’m negative in the water so I’m wondering if this will help? I need to be able to treat head and wrists out of water for more than 5 minutes
If I'm trying to hold up a child while teaching lessons, then I might get out of breath doing this. However, treading water shouldn't be a workout. If your movements are smooth, fluid, and relaxed, then you shouldn't expend a lot of energy doing this. If you can't use your hands, you'll have to work at becoming more proficient with the kick. Try tilting or leaning towards your back a little bit, this might make it easier for you to stay afloat. Good luck!
Chris Burton thank you for the tip!
thank you Mr. Chris Burton
Thank you so much, you really helped me so much, now I'm going to the pool and try this out.
That's a little exaggerated. Oh should I mention that I'm trying this to reduce fatigue, I can swim but I'm looking for a way that's less tired. Humans can naturally swim when thrown in water, just calmly and conservatively use ur energy to keep yourself in a position where u can still breathe and maneuver in the water. That's how I taught myself to swim because as long as u hav the brains u can do anything.
If it's exaggerated does that mean you nearly died?
My point is u exaggerated my point where an elementary kid could've easily learned and tried. What do u mean and whats with the die. I do have experience swimming . I'm just lookin for a way where I can stay afloat in one place and use up less energy. This will come in handy when playing water polo and other related sports. This is like a kid's move in water and its easy to learn so how u think I hav a hard time with this. This is more safer to do then trying somersaults and backflips. Its water and the pool not in the middle of the ocean. What part of this don't u understand?
Sorry I didn't realise english wasn't your first language.
Haha u are getting off point their...XD ur steering this into a wrong direction...
Thank you sir!
You bet!
really informative video on treading water
thank you
Very nice
the best explatation ever!!!
This is so informative
very useful ..i was looking for these
Excellent .. explained well....
You also need to do this while you're muscles are completely relax.... If you're tensed and all stiff, you will get heavy and not float
this is the video i am searching for thanks.....!
Thanks
Thank you. Very good.
Thank You! I will try it today. It's the 3rd day at pool . I can't swim , but in these 2 days I learned the front float. The problem I have is at back float keeping head up and torso up and in breastroke with legs.. I panic andy head goes down so I can't breathe. Even the teacher does not help.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out of town. I cover back floats a bit in this video about Backstroke (ua-cam.com/video/nbG7uKqo2CA/v-deo.html - Swimming: Backstroke for Beginners). As for breaststroke, you might find these videos helpful (Breaststroke Kick Drills - ua-cam.com/video/v61nEYUb5_0/v-deo.html , Breaststroke for Beginners - ua-cam.com/video/QcxPUQu57uU/v-deo.html , & Breaststroke Beginner Drills - ua-cam.com/video/b08GpbAHYWw/v-deo.html). Keep working at it.
@@ChrisBurtonSwims thank You!!!!
very informative video
best video ever
cherryberry
help me alot thanks you
You make this look easier than most videos I've seen Sir.......My question is, as a beginner, How do I start this technique?
+John Staley - I'm working on a video response to your question. If the footage that I took today turns out okay, I should have an answer for you by the end of the weekend.
+John Staley - Basically, you'll want to practice the motions in the shallow end and then work your way deeper. This video explains what I mean - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html - Hope it helps. Good luck!
+Chris Burton Thx a lot Sir, I'll study this video and let you know how it works out..
Excellent! Thank you Sir.
I have dense muscle and having a real hard time treading water. any tips would be greatly appreciated
Try to stay relaxed as much as possible. Use smooth, fluid movements. Water doesn't necessarily respond to brute force. The more tense you are the harder it is to float and tread. I have another video (ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html) that has drills beginners can use to work their way up to independent treading. Perhaps, it might help as well.
About the speed motion of foot or tempo we need to do that,in order our body can float n we can breast or inhale slowly or fast thanks
I wish I could do this in person with you.
Perhaps, you can find a local instructor to work with. Until then, this video provides drills that beginners can use to work their way up to independent treading. Treading Water Drills - ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html
thanks a lot!
Awesome guy Chris...I really like how you went all scientific with your video. Thanks for uploading it!
Good video thank you! Getting ready for the Coast Guard
Good luck!
Hello
I want to know that in tread water more swimers do circle feet towards clock and you towards uposite why. Thank u very much.
From my perspective, I'd say that one leg goes clockwise and the other legs goes counter clockwise. I'm pressing or extending my leg out to the side and sweeping it underneath my body on the recovery. It's almost like doing breaststroke kick one leg at a time.
What is the first to teach to kid age 3-5. Treading woter or flutter kicks? Hope there an explanation about this. Thank u
Back floats are probably the number one safety skill for that age. We often practice jumping in the water (feet first), rolling to your back float for a breath, and recovering back to the wall.
Could you please please also post a video for easiest way to breath in Freestyle swimming? I love your style of teaching and watched all of your videos I especially like you using the objects like ball drill for scissor kick , Can for showing the foot position in water trading and pencil and paper for illustrating breast stroke its simply marvelous .

Right now, I have a couple of videos that touch on side-breathing. I'll see if I can put something together that covers anything that I've missed, but it may not be until next month.

so is it like if we do very fast sculling , we will not be able to do be on the surface??
so do we only need to scull slowly not fastly?
In order to tread for longer periods of time, you'll want to scull with a smooth, fluid, relaxed motion. If you are just starting out, you may need a faster motion to stay afloat, but as you become more comfortable in the water, you'll want to transition to a sculling motion that is more effortless and utilizes less energy.
is it wrong if I did the egg beater kick where my left leg is going counter clockwise and my right leg going clockwise? I feel more stable and able to stay more afloat this way? or does it have to be left leg clockwise and right leg counter clockwise?
Treading water is a safety/survival skill, so if it feels more comfortable/stable the way you're doing it, then that is perfectly fine.
sorry what did you call the survival float at around the 4 min mark? The pelm/helm float? I couldn't quite make it out.
It's called a prone float or "Drownproofing". Here's a video you can check out - Navy Skills for Life - Water Survival Training - Drownproofing.

thanks!
i learned from that video. thanks.
good stuff, thanks

00:00:01,413 --> 00:00:03,224
Today I'm going to review treading water
오늘 저는 입영(물 밟기, treading water)을 살펴보겠습니다.
2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:05,133
We will go over the sculling motion,
다룰 내용은 손 젓기(sculling) 동작,
3
00:00:05,299 --> 00:00:06,168
eggbeater kick,
달걀 차기(eggbeater kick),
4
00:00:06,608 --> 00:00:07,374
the full stroke,
전체 영법,
5
00:00:07,616 --> 00:00:08,858
and treading alternatives.
그리고 대체 영법들입니다.
6
00:00:10,956 --> 00:00:15,538
Treading water is often one of the first skills that parents want me to teach their child.
입영(물 밟기, treading water)은 부모님들이 아이들에게 가장 먼저 가르쳐달라고 저에게 요청하는 기술입니다.
7
00:00:16,227 --> 00:00:21,995
However, treading water properly with a relaxed sculling motion and eggbeater kick is a more advanced skill.
하지만, 손으로는 편하게 젓고, 다리로는 달걀 차기를 하면서, 올바르게 물을 밟는 것은 상당히 고급 기술입니다.
8
00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:27,880
From a safety perspective, a comfortable relaxed back float is your most critical life-saving skill.
수상 안전의 관점에서 본다면, 편안하게 드러누워 떠 있는 것이 가장 중요한 생존 기술입니다.
9
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:34,692
It's not uncommon for young swimmers to be able to back float or even swim back stroke for a longer than they can trip.
어린 수영선수가 드러누워 떠 있거나 심지어 배영을 하면서, 훨씬 더 오래 버틸 수 있는 것은 드물지 않습니다.
10
00:00:36,427 --> 00:00:40,942
Maintaining a vertical up and down body position requires a good feel for the water.
몸을 수직인 자세로 버티려면 물에 대한 감각이 좋아야 합니다.
11
00:00:42,563 --> 00:00:45,774
Most beginners want to use dog paddle arms and running legs.
대부분의 초보자는 팔로는 개처럼 젓고 마치 뛰는 것처럼 다리를 움직이려 합니다.
12
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:48,833
This can get tiring over a short period of time.
이렇게 하면 금방 지치게 됩니다.
13
00:00:52,362 --> 00:00:54,955
You want to use your hands like fan blades.
손은 마치 선풍기 날개처럼 사용해야 합니다.
14
00:00:55,228 --> 00:01:00,907
The angle of your hands and how it moves through the water can create downward pressure without pushing down.
물속에서 손의 각도를 잘 맞추어 움직이면, 아래로 내리누르는 움직임 없이도 하강 압력을 생성할 수 있습니다.
15
00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:07,025
If I want to put this candle out I certainly don't want to push straight down.
이 촛불을 끄기 위해, 손을 곧장 아래로 내리누르지 않습니다.
16
00:01:07,543 --> 00:01:10,801
However, hook side-to-side motion surprisingly does the trick.
하지만, 놀랍게도 옆에서 옆으로 휘두르면 금방 꺼집니다.
17
00:01:11,361 --> 00:01:16,857
By changing the angle of my hands I create downward air pressure that puts the candle out.
손바닥의 깃각(pitch, 손바닥 각도)을 바꿈으로써, 아래로 내려가는 공기의 흐름이 만들어지고, 촛불은 꺼지게 됩니다.
18
00:01:21,266 --> 00:01:27,603
In the water, a slower yet similar hand motion helps create the downward pressure that is needed to stay afloat while treading.
물속에서도, 느리지만 비슷한 손의 움직임을 통해, 아래로 내려가는 물의 흐름을 만들 수 있고, 이 힘으로 입영(물 밟기, treading)할 때 떠 있을 수 있게 됩니다.
19
00:01:30,427 --> 00:01:34,142
I often introduced the sculling or finning motion when teaching back floats.
저는 종종 "누워 뜨기"(back float)를 가르칠 때, 손 젓기를 함께 가르칩니다.
20
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:37,487
It gives kids better grabbing something to do with their hands.
아이들은 손으로 물을 더 잘 잡을 수 있게 됩니다.
21
00:01:38,946 --> 00:01:43,635
Notice I'm using the side-to-side motion with my arms while changing the angle of my hands.
손바닥의 각도를 변화시키면서 팔을 옆에서 옆으로 움직이고 있는 것을 잘 보시기 바랍니다.
22
00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:51,067
Here I'm utilizing the same hand and arm motion in a vertical treading body position.
이제 입영(treading water, 물 밟기) 자세에서도 손과 팔을 이용해 똑같은 움직임을 합니다.
23
00:01:51,826 --> 00:01:53,954
My hands scull out and together.
두 손을 바깥쪽으로 저었다가 모읍니다.
24
00:01:54,638 --> 00:01:55,800
Out and together.
벌리고, 모으고.
25
00:01:56,488 --> 00:01:59,941
I can feel the pressure of the water against my hands throughout the stroke.
젓는 내내 손바닥에 닿는 물의 압력을 느낄 수 있습니다.
26
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:03,982
If I speed it up I can lift myself farther out of the water.
움직이는 속도를 늘리면, 제 몸을 물 밖으로 더 높은 위치까지 들어 올릴 수도 있습니다.
27
00:02:06,491 --> 00:02:09,474
In general though, I'm just trying to keep it slow and steady.
하지만 보통은, 그냥 느리면서 꾸준하게 하려고 노력합니다.
28
00:02:12,311 --> 00:02:16,781
As we move on to the kick, if I want to crush this can, (is) what I use a point of the toe?
이제 밟기로 넘어가면서, 만약 이 깡통을 찌그러뜨리려 할 때, 발끝으로 할까요?
29
00:02:18,648 --> 00:02:21,074
No. I keep my foot flattened.
아니요. 발은 평평하게 둡니다.
30
00:02:24,554 --> 00:02:28,260
Similar to breaststroke, we push or kick with the sole of our foot.
평영과 비슷하게, 발바닥의 바깥 부분을 이용해 누릅니다. (또는 찹니다.)
31
00:02:31,596 --> 00:02:34,663
Eggbeater kick gets its name from the motion of the legs.
달걀 차기라는 이름은 다리의 움직임에서 따온 것입니다.
32
00:02:35,286 --> 00:02:38,633
First time pushing down and out. Then bringing my leg in and up.
처음에는 바깥쪽으로 누르고, 그다음 안쪽으로 다리를 올립니다.
33
00:02:39,301 --> 00:02:40,489
One leg at a time.
한 번에 다리 하나씩.
34
00:02:40,852 --> 00:02:42,182
Down and out, in and up.
바깥으로 누르고, 안으로 올리고.
35
00:02:42,701 --> 00:02:44,000
Down and out, in and up.
바깥으로 누르고, 안으로 올리고.
36
00:02:46,472 --> 00:02:48,120
Here I'm doing the kick in the water.
물속에서 제가 달걀 차기를 하고 있습니다.
37
00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:50,904
Stay nice and tall. Don't curl up in a ball.
몸을 길게 유지하세요. 공 모양으로 웅크리지 마십시요.
38
00:02:51,436 --> 00:02:55,483
While my knees are bending significantly, I'm not bringing them up to my chest.
무릎을 많이 구부리긴 합니다만, 가슴까지 올리지는 않습니다.
39
00:02:56,441 --> 00:02:58,029
I'm kicking from the waist down.
허리 아래쪽으로 차고 있습니다.
40
00:02:58,489 --> 00:03:00,028
My kick is kind of lazy here.
밟는 것이 좀 느리긴 합니다.
41
00:03:00,326 --> 00:03:02,750
But you only want to kick hard enough to stay afloat.
하지만 그냥 떠 있을 만한 정도로만 밟는 것이 좋습니다.
42
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,280
As I hold up the diving brick, the egg beater motion is much more noticeable.
다이빙 벽돌을 들면서, 달걀 차기 동작은 훨씬 더 눈에 띄게 됩니다.
43
00:03:16,591 --> 00:03:19,136
I'm getting kind of cocky here and trying two bricks.
제 실력을 뽐내려고 벽돌 두 개를 들어 보입니다.
44
00:03:19,694 --> 00:03:21,367
But I couldn't keep that up for long.
하지만 이 자세로 오랫동안 버티지는 못합니다.
45
00:03:26,654 --> 00:03:29,907
As I put the arms and legs together, I want to finish my kick,
두 팔을 모으는 동작에, 밟는 움직임을 끝내려고 합니다,
46
00:03:30,406 --> 00:03:34,946
or, stomp as I finish the out-sweep and or in-sweep of my arms.
즉, 팔로 바깥 쓸기나 안으로 쓸기 동작을 마무리하는 시점에, 발로 눌러 밟습니다.
47
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,084
Stomp! Stomp!
밟고! 밟고!
48
00:03:37,445 --> 00:03:38,547
Kick! Kick!
차고! 차고!
49
00:03:38,732 --> 00:03:40,239
Sweep out! Sweep in!
밖으로 쓸고! 안으로 쓸고!
50
00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:48,909
While treading water is an important safety skill, there are alternatives.
입영(물 밟기, treading water)이 중요한 수상안전 기술입니다만, 대체 기술들이 있습니다.
51
00:03:49,681 --> 00:03:52,910
A good back float with some light finning can be just as effective.
손으로 약하게 저으면서 누워 떠 있는 기술은 입영만큼 효율적입니다.
52
00:03:55,833 --> 00:04:03,604
The current Boy Scout and US Navy Swim Test emphasize Prone Floats or Survival Floating for 5 minutes as opposed to treading water.
현재 미국의 보이스카우트나 해군 수영 테스트에서는 입영(물 밟기, treading water)과는 달리, 5분 동안 엎드려 뜨기 혹은 생존 뜨기를 강조합니다.
53
00:04:04,682 --> 00:04:06,629
Figure out what works best for you.
어떤 것이 자신에게 적합한지 알아보세요.
한글화 감사합니다.
How would you suggest to begin how to learn to tread water without the use of your hands/arms?
It's difficult to say because I don't know where you are starting from. Obviously, you'd need to rely on a strong kick. You can use the egg beater kick as I show in this video, or you can experiment with breaststroke kick (ua-cam.com/video/v61nEYUb5_0/v-deo.html). I'd lean or cheat a little bit towards my backside so that I could switch to a back float if need be. Practice in neck/shoulder deep water so that you can stand up/put your feet down if need be (ua-cam.com/video/28t_eTEdsYo/v-deo.html). In order of priority: #1 - Learn Back Float, #2 - Learn/Add kick (egg beater or breaststroke), #3 - Transition to a more vertical treading position. I hope this helps.
This is kind of an aside...after diving in the water or treading (basically just being in a vertical position), how do you return to a swimming/streamline position?
Tilt your head back and lift your hips/stomach up to get to a back float position. Lean forward and put your face in to get to a front float position. These videos address beginning backstroke and freestyle in more detail. (Backstroke for Beginners - ua-cam.com/video/nbG7uKqo2CA/v-deo.html, Preparing Beginning Swimmers for Freestyle - ua-cam.com/video/2XQy3pfniKk/v-deo.html)
Thanks a lot!
Thật tuyệt vời cảm ơn anh 🎉
Wish I had come across this video before I nearly drowned in deep end because of a severe painful leg cramp. I was in 9 ft. I couldn't swim at all and all I could only do was sink sink and sink! Had the worst panic attack of my life ...
Floating saved my life!!
