Communication is key, if you ront understand something you're instructor says just ask them, better safe than sorry, and the instructors should also be clear
I have to say this is sooo much better than what I did at a swim clinic. The reason being they want to push us to swim like a lifeguard, whole point of the clinic. But like... I need one on one just to swim. So there are requirements they want me to hit despite just kicking with the tube. Like there was an exercise so I am fine with floating with the tube. But nothing simpler like in the video. The tube being the lifeguard tube. Also, not being able to swim forward at all becasue it feels really unbalanced for me. I am on the spectrum with Autism so the discomfort is REALLY bad balance wise. But this simplifies it in a way, that I can try this with family and learn like that. Everyone else can swim, I was able to at 8 years old but the sudden shock of a different pool and it went away. I am on the spectrum so yes I got overwhelmed due to a different pool years ago.
Am so scared of water but after having watched you video i feel like I can actually swim. I would be happy to be one of your students but we are in different continents.
Been working on this every day for a month. Longest I can keep my mouth above water is about 3 seconds. I can get my head above water a few more times but iver time it gets progressively harder until I just sink like a rock. Pushing the belly up helps a lot. Swimming backwards helps too. Problem is, I can only get my mouth shive water with around 95% full lungs, so even a tiny breath out means that I will slip below the surface and no amount of paddling with arms will get me back to the top. This is with "relaxed" as the primary method. I've tried many different variations at this point and some pool friends have tried to help but none of them have any ideas that work. Feeling pretty frustrated. I'm ou ting 60 to 90 minutes every day into this and barely made any progress. Currently running 108kg at 26% bodyfat, powerlifter in competition prep mode. I have gotten some progress, but still haven't workwd out how to breathe because everything that involves me getting my head out of water requires that my lungs are so full, I can't exchange enough air to get a breath unless I breathe out, which just puts me at the bottom of the pool. I'm practicing kicking this way. Take a big breath, go under, kick for about 45 seconds, most of which is scraping my chest along the bottom, with lungs totally full.
I love this . At my kids school in middle school copper beach they have adult and seniors class too lol! I love you guys have that in Texas too . I may try one day lol! Never too late lol! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
FOR A CHANGE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE on RU-vid 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 THANK YOU for bringing this to US …. I almost DROWNED in my high school swimming class… I DID BLACK OUT after panicking when i had my arms against the side wall and was flapping towards the 10 feet side .. I apparently slipped off and was panicking and flapping my arms and legs underneath the the deep end ( this was on a day that a SUBSTITUTE TEACHER was in the class ) when I came to I was laying on the side of the pool where I started out and the EMS was there taking me to the hospital… had it not been for one of MY CLASSMATES I may not be here to tell this story….. this was back in the mid-70s at Mumford high school in Detroit Mich …. I DID stay in the class and became a MEDIOCRE swimmer at best … I could probably STILL USE some LESSONS.
She makes it so easy. I'm most afraid of steps one and two because I'm i don't think i'll have enough power to junp and the second step because i don't think i'll be able to get my hands above my head in time
