How To Float On Your Stomach [Part 2] Swimming Lessons For Adults 

Thank you. I am glad you found my video helpful!!!

Definitely try it! You can also see in this video the difference when my client didn't bend his knees and did. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mGy4PjU0LQA.html

Hello Allan. Thank you for your comment. I am glad my video was helpful. In swimming, your back should almost never be arched. If your back is arched, it means that your abdominal muscles are relaxed. Correctly contracted abs, gluteus, and upper back muscles are the ones that will keep your body in a streamline position and will keep you afloat. That is why in most of my videos I keep asking to contract those muscle groups. For your legs to come up to the surface, you need to REALLY contract your gluteus muscles (buttocks) without arching your back. This video will be helpful for practicing correct muscle contraction: “Adult Swim Lesson. Dry Land Exercises For Practicing Streamline Position For Swimming” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h26CjFpVqVs.html Also, play with the position of your arms, try to bring them overhead or toward your thighs and see how it affects the position of your legs. Your palms should be facing toward the bottom, the way I show it in the video, however, play with it and see what works best for you. I am glad you are learning how to swim, ENJOY the process!!!

Here is another exercise where you can practice contracting your gluteus muscles to bring your heels to the surface: “Adult Swim Lesson. Strength Exercise For Balancing In Water. Exercise 3” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5BOS_HuieVg.html This exercise seems easy, however, if you do not contract your buttocks super hard, your feet will stay under water. Keep practicing!!! Please let me know how it goes.

thanks soo much!!! I will give it a try

One more thing you can try doing to help your legs go up is tucking your chin in to look down at the bottom of the pool. Did any of my suggestions work for you?

Congratulations on making your first steps to falling in love with water 👏 I have a whole list of videos with exercises to work on balance: Beat Fear Of Water. First Steps Toward Swimming. ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJn7jCl1Senai_MSqN6s7hGp You can see how I am using these exercises in these videos: Swimming Lessons In Open Water. From Fear Of Water To Swimming In Deep Water ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC I suggest practicing these exercises first, in this progression: Swimming Lessons For Adults. Strength Workout For Balancing In Water. 16 Exercises ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YSwhuNBpkHA.html Before you do any exercises, please, consult with your doctor. And yes, your body will definitely protect itself from being further injured. Water is a special environment and a body needs to be physically prepared for learning swimming. Please keep me posted on your improvements ❤️

In this playlist, I put all of the exercises I teach into practice: Swimming Lessons In Open Water. From Fear Of Water To Swimming In Deep Water ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJmZhWlFRqkpHdQOdy_eNzGC

I am so sorry for not replying your comment for such a long time, RU-vid sent your comment to Spam, for some reason, I just found it. Thank you for your question.

If you still struggle with this issue, it means that your body needs to be more prepared for swimming (core muscles). I suggest to practice exercises from this playlist: Strength Exercises In Water For Balance And Swimming ru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJmib-12WS1zD7KncCryC3pp Exercise number 3 will be most helpful, if you practice all of them. Also, work on your streamline position. You might want to watch my Open Water playlist, too. Of course, if you have health issues, please, talk to your doctor, first.

In these videos my eyes are closed under water. I find it unnecessary to expose the eyes to the chemicals in the pool. Even in Synchronized Swimming athletes use goggles while training. Thank you very much for your suggestion!!! I will think about making a video about this topic.

Not everyone has the same buoyancy. I am very buoyant (here, I also wear a 3mm wetsuit that adds to buoyancy even more) You might want to look at my playlist that deals with floating. There are exercises there that will be helpful. If you have a very low buoyancy, then correct positioning and sculling will be helpful: Swimming Lesson.

@@easyflowing Oww I see mam so wetsuit helps you to float,Thanks for the info

Yes, it does. You are welcome. It’s a good way for a beginner swimmer to learn body positioning in the water.

@@easyflowing thanks thanks A Lot DTS

You are welcome 🙏

In a pool, in a lake, river, sea or the ocean?

Dream To Swim in a pool I've fear of heights I gave up on my first session. 😞

If you are a complete beginner, please start with these exercises: First Steps to Swimmingru-vid.com/group/PLlni5Zb5tjJn7jCl1Senai_MSqN6s7hGp Do everything in the shallow end. In exercises, where you have to put your face in the water, you can close your eyes if you are wearing goggles. Another thing you can do is to try your lesson again but don’t wear goggles.

Dream To Swim I've gone through your all videos. Really helped me alot. 😊👍

Pinky Rawool, I am glad my videos were helpful. Ok, then try doing your swimming lessons without goggles. This way you will not see how far from the bottom you are. In my open water lessons that I filmed this summer, I had a similar issue with my client. Taking goggles off helped a lot.
