Great video! First time at sea and I was able to float in the water.
Thanks for the fast reply , great channel :)
Thank yu
Thank for sharing with us your experience. Like any other skill, treading water require some practice, desire and ability to learn, dedication and passion for swimming. However, there is nothing impossible but each person is unique and requires a special approach in learning and teaching swimming. Thanks for watching and we wish the best in learning this beautiful sport.
Thats right you can always tread water with your arms without relying on legs. Cool stuff!
Thank you so much
You are very welcome!
And do a video on the legs also?
Just one question, How Can I do this if the pool is 1.45??
Can I be like seating on the water and move arms and hand??
I agree, everyone should know how to tread water at least for the safety reason!
Is using your arms only the most efficient way to tread water with least amount of energy?
nice video thanks helpfull
Thanks for your feedback and watching the video!
If I had to involve kicking for treading water, which is better breastroke or freestyle?
Breaststroke kick (alternate legs though), otherwise, freestyle kick is fine!
Must I keep my back straight ?
That's correct! When practicing treading water, keep your body vertical and relaxed. Thank you for sharing this video!
And legs ?
trading water???
Thanks but do you have you move your hands fast or a steady pace ??????
Thanks for stopping by and asking. It's a steady pace with normal breathing.
Thanks and what about your legs do you do anything with that ????
You can add breastroke or freestyle kick which will give your body more support.
You can just make sure you don't use legs and that will work fine.
Nike Resolute Max.
Well it depends whoever is out there but I guess for most people it's quite doable since great portion of a human body is water therefore you can float in the water. ;)
Leg kicking at all?
Is it true that you can float by holding your breath?
WillvsFear In most cases yes.
Because when your lungs fill with air, you become more buoyant.
i have fear of deep water, how can i reduce it?
At first you need to start feel 100% comfortable in shallow water and then gradually move to deeper pools. Just like with any skill, swimming takes time and practice. Thanks for stopping by and watching the video!
Can u tread water by only sculling??
Michael Davies You can also tread water by doing breastroke kick.
SwimTechnique TV Dude you look so healthy than my daddy, and you are older I think! WOW
For some reason I am heavy in water and just sink no matter what I do. I can take a full deep breath and fall right to the bottom of the pool and lay flat on my back not even trying to float. I have tried many many times to swim ever since the early 80s and with out floats I would drown in seconds in any water over my head. I would give anything if I could do this!!!!
So you dont need your feet at all right?
That is correct! However, you can include breaststroke kick to it but using your arms should be just fine! Thanks for watching the video!
if you struggling use your legs
Some people float better than others (buoyancy), due to having more subcutaneous fat. If you're very lean you may be less buoyant, and just using deep breaths and arm sculling may not be enough to keep your nose and mouth above water. If that's the case, you'll need to kick; maybe just a little, maybe a lot. Everyone's different.
I don't understand how come not to use your legs for treading water. I try this I almost sink down.
At first, it might be a challenging task but you can try including either flutter kick (known as freestyle kicking) or breaststroke kick for more advanced swimmers.
You don't need legs to tread by yourself. Legs are used when you can't use your hands like when you're holding/saving a baby or kid. It is tiring to use legs and should only be used as last resort. If you're sinking just by using hands, the technique is wrong.
Mitt Obama actually the legs are more important. Watch treading by water polo players. They train them to tread with legs only with hands up. Good luck
SwimTechnique TV i'm now 15 years old and i don't know even treadind water............man i'm so sad
It's never late to start learning. Start from easy exercises and then move on to more complex. Humans don't learn how to walk right away. Same with swimming, it takes some time. Thanks for watching the video and good luck!
and here I am, 25 years old. LOL.
What kind of goggles are you wearing?
Um, he asked a question and you gave him a 5 min answer.. When there couldv'e been words asked....
I tried alot. But when i release breath body gone done in water.
Your quads are too massive for water treading !
This dose not work for everyone only for those that already has good natural buoyancy!
I'm 37 and have tried to learn to swim for well over 20 years and can't swim at all with out a float belt and arm bands. I would sink like a rock without them!!!!
