This. This video needs to be the first result for "Treading water for beginners." Learning the vertical float really gives you the confidence that it's really not that much effort and goes a LONG way into keeping calm. Not one other video I saw covered that.
I would love to learn how to tread water and fully learn to swim once and for all. I have it in my mind (and I'm sure there are other people who are thinking the same thing as me) that treading water WILL PUT PEOPLE AT EASE and have people be more comfortable in water.
This might appear to simplified for some but my best takeaway is the importance of the breath ... I have not been taught the significance of filling up the lungs with air ... The emphasis is generally on hand and feet motion .... So thanks for this simple explanation and demonstration. I had no idea that breathing technique is just as important in staying vertically afloat. I have really been struggling to master this. I will certainly try filling up my lungs to see if I can do any better. 👍
Same here... I float effortlessly on my bad and Tommy but still struggling with vertical float... when I try to relax I noticed my feet wouldn't touch the floor yet my head is completely submerged Looks like my bone density and muscle mass caused that I suppose by the time I had a completely filled lungs 🫁 it should improve it a bit before including the arms and legs movements
Yes coach the explanation is awesome.but i just want to know with continuous practice can i become buoyant for i definately feel that either my bones are dense or a high muscle mass however because of fear i tighten my shoulders is what my coach says please help me come out of this struggle sir
Exactly. Threading water is easy if you have 95% buoyancy. Mesomorph body type like me sink like a brick. It takes tremendous amount of effort And can only be sustained in mere seconds
Too good this is exactly what I was looking for.i am finding it extremely difficult specially when is see someone from the opposite side i simply drown please help me sir
By holding breathing i trade, as i release my breath i sink immediately and i can't breath again because water is in my nose and mouth.....and also i feel tightness in my chest
What they didn't say is that treading is very person dependent, every person treads differently. Some extremely differently. In general you want large slow motions. Try sweeping/skulling your arms back and forth just beneath the surface in the longest arc that is comfortable for your shoulders. Try not to lock out your elbows. Treading should be relaxed. Your legs can do any number of things, but try to get away from flutter kick. Options that resemble whip kicks or scissor kicks are most common.
@@jellyacc One leg from the front and one leg from the back, starting with bent legs and ending with straight. Very comfortable for swimming on your side. When I tread, one leg scissor kicks and the other whip kicks, it's the one time I don't worry about form at all.
@@jellyacc That's the one. That combo isn't really something to aspire to. It's just what I do; it suits the mechanics of my body. It just does do a good job of showing that, unlike the strokes, treading doesn't have a precise technique. It's okay if you bob, it's okay if you use a different kick, it's okay if it's more arms than legs, it's okay if it's more legs than arms, it's okay if you drift around: anything goes when it comes to treading. The only thing I really don't recommend is flutter or dolphin kick; for different reasons they both wind up being very tiring to tread with, and the goal of treading is to do it indefinitely.

I SO AGREE. I’ve never seen anyone explain it like this. This is GOLD
Wow. Love how you break it down so simply! Thank u coach!
Hey, this seems like one of the best videos about Treading Water on CZcams, thank you for making this video.

I need to know what does filled up lungs mean? As eventually one breaths out the air and at that point i sink.
Thanks for the detailed explanation... I learnt that I have been doing treading the wrong way.
This explanation is awesome.
3:45 hahaha so funny!! I think I do that lol thank you for the advice!
HAHAHAHA I laughed so hard at this
I know, im so embarrassed because when i was doing that, i was like are people so fit to do this so long? i cant lol
That last 'Good luck!' had me.
Yes coach the explanation is awesome.but i just want to know with continuous practice can i become buoyant for i definately feel that either my bones are dense or a high muscle mass however because of fear i tighten my shoulders is what my coach says please help me come out of this struggle sir
Might try some of those - thanks.
Thanks for the advice 👌
Super amazing tips I will try it ☺️✌️
Really useful
If you can keep the 1:10 position, you will be able to tread by just adding some supporting movements of arms and legs, right?
Exactly. Threading water is easy if you have 95% buoyancy. Mesomorph body type like me sink like a brick. It takes tremendous amount of effort
And can only be sustained in mere seconds
3:40 that would be embarrassing, i hope i never get caught doing that
HAHAHAHAHAHA :D
I have good tips. Thx.
Very good video
Too good this is exactly what I was looking for.i am finding it extremely difficult specially when is see someone from the opposite side i simply drown please help me sir
Very good
0:50 how desperate is "somebody will sink no matter what they do" lol
Can you tell me how to balance in deep side with legs pls tell me coah only 5 days I started swimming
*Boi* - ancy
1:10 I wish I could do this.
Right. I would've been moonwalking at the bottom of the pool in no time
I can't stand in 4 feet deep water ( my height is 5.2) ,whenever I try to land, I slip n my body sinks inside. it's so terrifying 😭
Grow up
@@DragoonGalaxy7 Would you like to recommend a Growth Hormone for persons who only attain 5 feet in height as an adult … Interested 🤔
I have been practicing already for a month but still can not do this.
Thanks for free info
You 're welcome
i can tread water use whip kick.. but just 1minute.. so tired when use that kick.. i still dont know how to use eggbeater kick..
That’s me at the end!
@ 1:10
By holding breathing i trade, as i release my breath i sink immediately and i can't breath again because water is in my nose and mouth.....and also i feel tightness in my chest
What is the best sculling technique if you have dense muscles and bones and sink like a rock?
What they didn't say is that treading is very person dependent, every person treads differently. Some extremely differently. In general you want large slow motions.

@@adde9506 scissor kicks?

@@adde9506 ah ok. Like the one used in sidestroke. that whip kick/ scissor kick combo is hard to picture tho

Is this AthleaxX's brother?
Yelling at end hurt my ear. -.- anyway great simple vid
Please why when I always want to tread water the water is always at my mouth level?,please advise
When you want to breathe, look up to the ceiling/sky and take your breath
Thank You Very Much ❤❤❤
It is archemedis priciple
anushree Vyas haha sahi kaha didi
Really struggling to master this
Lionel Messi
Jordi Alba
Neymar
Ok but...
Is no one going to talk about the thumbnail
HAHAHAHHAHA
Tried doing this too many times but i kept going down
Relax your body
other videos are better since they explain it in detail
I still sink (not float) despite a full air in my lungs....
يعلم الله اش يقول
ههههههه كيف يضل اعلى الماء وعدم الغرق
Hw I can stop stressing wen am treading water
Float on your back and wait for your heart rate to slow down, and then try it
Float on your back
