7 Gliding and standing 

Try to meditate and do bubbles(nose for exhaling). Before you do anything or any lesson in the water. Enjoy the flow and calm of the water. To dismount floating on stomach. That's to get upright (vertical) from horizontal. - Heel to Butt, Knee to Chest. Remember it doesn't have to be perfect or fast. Focus on the motion and let the water work it's magic. PS - I am beginner myself, have just started swimming the deep-end-assisted(instructor/coach). The best advise I have had is to be calm even in danger. Alert the lifeguards and focus on the maneuvers to get out of it. Say out loud the shortest possible version of exit maneuvers/dismount before entering the pool to jog your memory. Don't rush it. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Everytime you have nose and mouth in water slowly exhale. Enjoy those tiny little bubbles. When coming out for inhaling come above the surface as smooth and gentle as possible. Don't rush this step as this is the most crucial one as from my experience. Remember you always have enough time to inhale (always through the mouth, wider = more volume = faster + no choking). Your leg paddling might stop and sink while you inhale don't panic and focus on inhaling a proper breath. Remember you can always paddle but you can only inhale above the surface. So don't worry that you're sinking focus on taking that proper breath in. Once you are comfortable with your breaths Congrats you have crossed the major mental block in your swimming journey. Rest of the things from that point onwards won't be that difficult mentally or terrifying.

@@sachinminz90 Much gratitude for the tips and suggestions, I’m gonna try them.

I feel you, I can glide but I have a problem in standing up when I want to stop gliding this makes me fear gliding! 😭

Im still practicing..😢

I'm struggling with this as well 😪

Me too 🥲

Same 😂

Same😮

Same here x

Same here 😬

Updating after 1 month... so I have started to regain my footing.. but still scared to float for too long.. will update more

Updating after a week... I am confident of my footing now... and it has given me so much confidence to try new things in swimming... your videos are most helpful

Me too, it looks so easy but I can’t do it.

I have the same problem with you guys.. how to handle it

Same here..not sure, how to tackle fear

Me too..not able to float without something to hold..

Olá, você já pode nadar ?

So glad I'm not the only one. I choke everytime trying to stand back after gliding, it is traumatizing for me.

Same here

Me too, Melanie.

Gliding is just glide. No movement at all

Then why are you here?

@@Afrinaturality i thought this video is for treading or standing in deep water bt found out this shit😂

For you it's a silly thing but for those who are afraid, big problem...

That’s why you can never teach anything! 😅for some it can come naturally and for many it may not!
