How To Float On Your Back ,The Basics [Part 2] Swimming Lessons For Adults 

Thank you. Are you working these days on floating yourself or teaching the kidz?

Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏 I am glad that you found my lessons helpful!

Hello. Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you are working on getting over your fear of water. To float on your back some muscles of your body need to be tight while others relaxed. Do these exercises to strengthen the right muscles and eventually, you will float on your back very well: Adult Swim Lesson.

Please practice all of these exercises (of course unless your doctor says otherwise) and please let me know about your progress.

Here is a new video dealing with floating on your back: Feet Sink While Floating On Your Back?

If you are still afraid, all the videos in my First Steps To Swimming playlist are helpful with getting used to water and teaches balancing in water.

You are welcome. Have you tried it?

I had tried and I got it. Previously I can't float. I didn't know how to control my shoulder blade, back, pelvis and muscles. With your advice, I got it ☺️ Thanks ♥️

I am so happy you were able to learn how to float with my advice!!! You just made my day even better!!! Thank you for your feedback! Do you hold your breath when you float or are you able to breathe and stay afloat?

Yeah, now, I'm able to breathe, kick my legs and move forwards. The starting point of how to float with back was difficult for me and I was afraid of it. Now, I got the starting point and I can learn other steps. ☺️☺️

I am so happy for you!!! It's going to be a fun process, enjoy! ❤

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much for your kind words ❤ Your positive attention is very much appreciated! What else are you learning in swimming these days besides floating on your back?

I'm still sinking sometimes when I tread water and I get tired easily while treading water. I'm still a beginner.

Being a beginner is exciting! Congratulations on learning new skills! Have you learned how to do sculling? Sculling - Swimming Lessons.: ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJksa9gyNU5KzbHR_A9rn4jE

Oh! I just finished watching the sculling videos through the link and it is awesome. You are so inspiring in the way you teach, and Your teachings are so concise. I will try it out by the weekend, if I have a free time. Thank you very very much, you are so kind.

I am so happy you found these videos happy! In case if you haven't seen my Eggbeater tutorials, yet, you might want to check out this playlist: Eggbeater Kick: ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJnu1wq8sRH4k3QLQVwk6CYc

Thank you 🙏 I am glad you found it helpful. I think you can choose your subtle language.

This exercise you can definitely practice with holding your breath. I do suggest starting with part one of this exercise because you can practice floating while breathing and see how your body reacts during inhale and exhale.

You are welcome. Have you tried it?

@@easyflowing Yes

Were you able to float on your back?

@@easyflowing No, not yet

Hello Tita Tamara from Algeria 👋

Low buoyancy can be due to higher muscle mass and lower percentage of fat. However, because you said that only your legs ‘refuse’ to float, it means that the rest of your body stays afloat, and that means that the problem is not with your buoyancy. The problem is with the way you contract your core muscles.

@@easyflowing thank you so much today I went to swimming pool and I see a little improvement, The problem now is the pool 150m, and I am 1.83 height, I find it very hard to treat water by using your feet,

You can practice at an angle, leaning a little bit forward or a little bit back. This way, you’ll have more space to practice. The only thing is that if you lean forward, you’ll move forward, and if you lean back, you’ll move back. You can see it in this video: How To Propel With Eggbeater Kick In Different Directions (Swimming Lessons For Adults) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGJSdiYtlc8.html

Thank you. Have you tried it?

Hello Advanced Gamer, thank you for watching my video and for your comment. In order to feel the water, one needs to practice. Some muscles have to be contracted, others relaxed. Core strength is key, and as you said, lungs filled with air. If you master all of the exercises in my playlist First Steps to Swimming ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJn7jCl1Senai_MSqN6s7hGp , you will learn to feel and to trust the water. Here are all of these exercises together in one video: Adult Swim Lesson. Strength Workout For Balancing In Water. 16 Exercises ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YSwhuNBpkHA.html Good luck in your practice and please keep me posted on your progress!

What do you mean? More difficult to get up?

@@easyflowing Yes. I'm begginer and so fear to back float.

@rehtse5127 Congratulations, you are learning an awesome new swimming skill! You might find this playlist of mine very helpful: Fear of Water (Lessons in Open Water): ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC In Episode 3, we started working on floating and getting up. You can see all of the issues we faced and how we dealt with them. In the first two episodes, you can see how we prepared the body for floating. I'd love to hear your feedback! ❤️

Absolutely, a couple of them, actually: my lungs filled with air and my core muscles! 😉

Thank you for watching my video and for your valuable comment. Unfortunately, even with a wetsuit on, correct muscle engagement is necessary to be able to float with hands and feet at the surface. That is why for a complete beginner, it works to learn wearing a wetsuit. My client, with whom I just finished filming in open water, couldn’t keep his legs at the surface even with a 5 mm triathlon wetsuit until he learned to engage correct muscle groups. Later on, he was able to repeat the same in a pool with just swim trunks on. I am wearing a wetsuit (3 mm) in this video because here, I am 50 lb overweight and this suit make my body look more presentable for videos. AND, if you have found a way to get REALLY GOOD at something without practicing, PLEASE teach me!!! When you publish a video, please tag me in it, I WANT TO LEARN FROM THE BEST and it sounds like you have cracked the code of learning. All power to you!

By the way, all the videos about swimming in my channel, 47 in all, were filmed in two days, I was in the water for over 10 hours a day. Yes, I needed to keep my body warm 🙂

Dream To Swim I Wasn't expecting a reply but hey. I never meant not to practice at all. What I meant was perfect practice makes perfect. Practice something wrong, regardless whether you realize it or not will only lead to performing it wrong. (I'm not saying what your doing is wrong by the way.) It's just good advice that was passed onto me which I pass onto others. Take or leave it. I have no idea how cold that pool is so fair enough your wearing a wetsuit but that doesn't take away the fact they help you float. You just gotta be carefull someone learning doesn't get over confident with one and then end up panicking without one. I'm glad your student made good progress. Lastly, I'm not a guru although some people I have taught see me that way. I've taught for 10 years so far and do know quite alot. Yet I'm still learning. I will probably put a few videos up yeh but I don't have access to a pool as easily as you and other youtubers so it's not that easy. Plus I don't have anyone to film me. Maybe I'll do some in the future and your more than welcome to judge.

My man, ALL of the videos on my channel were filmed by me, edited by me and lessons were planned out by me. If you focus on finding a pool, you will find it. Teach people what you know. About a perfect practice, in teaching, it’s important to go from simple to complex. It’s impossible to fix everything all at once. That is why I pick and choose what I teach. In my videos, I or anyone watching could point out that fat floats... so, in the same manner you can say that I am cheating because I have extra 50 lb of fat on me AND you will be correct. But, whatever I teach, works for the people that choose me as their teacher and they can learn bits and pieces from different teachers, also. Different things and techniques work for different people because we are all different. Start writing your lesson plans, all the topics you would like to cover, choose tripods, cameras, etc., imagine the kind of pool you would like to film in and an opportunity will present itself. This way you will be ready for it. That’s the way it is happening for me. When you post your videos, please send me your links. I am rooting for you!!!

I don’t have to judge, people’s comments and views will show how good you are. I can offer only constructive criticism and ONLY if you ask for it.
