How to swim 

Can you swim better than a average 10 year old: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M-hJnWXP1QA.html

I learnt swimming at 45. Because of severe fear of water and the deep, it took me over 2 months to become comfortable with just floating and standing in water. People laughed but the perseverance has paid off. I am very glad I learnt how to swim.

I’m 39 and I’m watching this to help me learn how to swim. So those of you learning in your teens or 20’s have nothing to be ashamed of.

This summer I was determined to learn how to swim, so I kept watching this video. And a couple of days ago I went on vacation and did every step in the video and I SWAM!! I’m still rusty but I can float and do enough to move in the water. I’m so proud of myself 🥰😂

I am 76 and taking swimming lessons for the first time. Thus far, your video is more helpful. Thank you very much.

Ain’t nobody told me that I need air in my lungs to float I just thought other ppl were built different 😭

My brain - finally now I can swim My body - who decided that ?

27 year old here 👋🏻 I took swimming lessons two years ago by a very disrespectful teacher who undermined my fear of the water. Although I was determined how to swim so I decided to enjoy it. She didn’t teach me how to stay afloat and my head out of water first. I was introduced into the pool with my head in at all times. 😐 I couldn’t even bring myself to be in the middle of the pool at the end of my lessons. Always reaching out for the wall basically hugging it. This year, I’ve decided to go on vacation and try to learn how to swim bc I’ve come across this video. I was afraid of the pool, so I tried these moves in the sea where it was shallow bc sea makes you float easily. After three days, I was basically trying to coordinate my arms and legs better. I got more comfortable in the water I was able to play around. Another three days later i decided to get in the pool and I just found myself swimming freely with my head out first. And then I tried out putting my head in and just breathing out and now I can just swim. It’s unbelievable for me. Thank you for the instructions and thank god i’ve come across this video 🎉😊

I wanted to learn how to swim, but the classes were pretty expensive. So i looked up tutorials online and found this video. Long story short after 10 mins, i got very comfortable with floating and now I'm even swimming a bit. Thanks for sharing this lesson

My only concern is, how the fvck did RU-vid know that I don't know how to swim?! 🤔

Why am i swimming on my bed at 2am

Bro dis man is the first guy that tells me that i need air to float I MISSED ALOT

I used to bee a swimming teacher myself but when I had a stroke in 2015 I lost my confidence my muscles in my back and legs are still weak now I am 60 and learn to swim again Love this videos thank you for the support, Annet from the Netherlands

These comments are relief, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one can’t swim 😌

2 reasons I am watching this. 1:I suck at swimming 2:I want to swim but I have No pool

I watched this video last year after i came back from swimming pool since i was ashamed that my friend could swim so wonderfully but i on the other hand could only take advantage of my height to walk under water. This year i went back and tried your suggestions and technique and started floating in just 10 mins and swimming in the next hour. I truly am grateful towards this video.

Who else is watching this in bed?

This is the year we learn to swim y’all

I watched this video too many times that I forgot how to walk

I am so glad I stumbled across your video FIRST when researching how to swim. Because there are so many videos with so many ways to learn. But for me, your video is the most logical and the safest in my opinion. It is calm and covers safety first. This helps me not to panic and to take my time to learn.

This is the best video ever. I had a scare over 20 years ago and never wanted to learn. I told my self enough is enough and today my husband helped me and I had this video replaying in my head. I learned the floating part and I’m going to go to next phase next week. Thank you for this video.

I’m scared to even do step one (float) 💀💀 Update: I’ve successfully learned how to swim 🥳

I've always had a fear of deep water, but I want to be able to enjoy swimming like my friends and family, this video gives me some confidence to try again :)

It took me less than 20 minutes to learn this. Thank you! Now I can swim 🎉🎉🎉

I had one swim lesson in my life so maybe that made me a tad bit more comfortable in water than others but for the most part THIS video got me swimming. I still can’t believe it worked, I’m beyond happy right now. Incredible

'You should always know that at any point you can just stand up and you're safe' Short ppl:👁️👄👁️

I’m officially tired of being publicly humiliated at swimming pools

Thank you, for the first time in my life, I can swim! Following your instructions I was swimming in minutes, I could even float on my back, amazing!

I deadass searched "how to swim" because idk I just want to know how to swim.

Me: Swim for 10 minutes Only moved 1 meter

I never knew that swimming was just floating on you stomach, I’m glad that I know how to float on my back so this should be easy

Thank you. I am 25 and I took swim lessons as a kid but never really "got it".. It is an essential skill for every human to have, so I will be trying again.

Brain: "breathe, legs, float, yeah got it. I believe I can swim!" Body: Hold my beer.

*I already know this, now I'm learning how to fly.*

23 and just now getting the opportunity to be in water for swimming and this video was super helpful. Getting those additional video angels definitely helped my understanding of how to float let alone use my limbs , I’m very uncoordinated and this really broke it down to get the functionality right , I get made fun of for even attempting so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

Thank you Christian Wedoy for this Video. After 2.5 months of consistent practice I am able to swim following your method shown here. First few weeks were tough but I am able to do it now. Thank you 🙏🙏

I almost drowned as a kid 😔 So no matter how much I try my brain makes it's difficult and my body will tense up. And it freaken sucks because I have always always dreamed of surfing, wakeboarding and all the fun stuff.

me: *learns to swim* wave pools: “OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!”

I've watched it for 1.5 weeks and practicing alone. It's a very helpful video, thank you so much ❤

Man I wish my mom was those type of parents where they would throw their babies in the water and they would instantly start to swim

no one: me: *swims on the bed*

0:41 Nobody ever taught me that this was a thing. I still feel like I sink even with full lungs though.

I am learning by myself because here in Norway swimming class is super expensive and as being international student in Norway, I can’t afford swimming class. I am practicing swimming by watching this video and now I can do little bit swimming. I am so happy for that. Now I need to learn more to keep continuing because now I can swim just for 15 seconds.

My brother learned the first step in just seconds he is now floating for hours thanks for the tutorial 👍

The hard part is getting used to being under/submerged into water. One second in and I feel like I'm drowning

I literally learned how to swim in 1 day (around 4 hours) thsnks to this video. No I am not joking, after years if fear and telling myself that i couldnt i finally did it. Of course i can swim from point A to B and is still sloppy but the fsct that I did it is huge. Thanks

I’m am 64 and I and trying to learn to swim for the 2nd time. I was in my 20’s the first time and I just didn’t learn. So I’m trying again. These tips help a lot. Thank you.

Who here wants a private pool in your house because it's too embarrassing to do it on public where people will laugh at you.

Any body else in their 20s and still can’t swim ?

Great video. Straight to the point. Totally non-pretentious, no a** hanging out, nothing like that. Thanks. I was watching a woman's learn to swim video, and she was all about her behind hanging out and showing off for the cameras.

Today, on my third time in a swimming pool, I have managed to get comfortable in water and swim thanks to this tutorial! Thank you so much. I am 44

My whole life I’ve always been embarrassed about not knowing how to swim, and what’s even more annoying is that I fit the stereotype “black people cant swim.” I need to change this year for my self esteem and my safety...

It's okay if u don't know how to swim fish can't walk either

This is amazing I am only 15 years old and this month I am going swimming with my class and I have no idea how to swim and I don’t want some people to laugh at me. So I am about to try this method and I hope I will swim 😅

i have been wanting too swim for 2 years! When I was 7 I couldnt be bothered to learn this but now I really can swim+float!!

me: **watches the video** "I think i can do this now" my body in the swimming pool: submarine go sinkkkkk

I will try this tomorrow at some kinda-pool. Lets hope I learn swimming in a week. I will keep updating!!!! Update: I have learnt to swim on the 4th day, all you need is smart work. Legs are the main trust me. Now, my task is to make it smoother!! 1 week update: Now I can swim smoothly. but still perfecting it more. It takes time guys!!! and determination. Update: I can swim now :) atleast I won't drown now whenever there is a flood or an unfortunate incident. It took me total 2 weeks to learn!

Hi thanks,60yrs today i make my mind ,to learn to swim,you teach well,sir thank you,god bless you, Alan

best instructional video on youtube that properly teaches how to swim with clear straight to the point and very brief introduction video

This is the best swimming tutorial. I’m a beginner. I’m 53. I could swim by just winging it. I’ve paid thousands to get swim lessons for my 2 children. Although, they are much better than me, I will encourage them to watch your tutorials for relearning, reinforcement. Thank you for your true compassion, for the love of others, especially us strangers.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who can't swim. Edit: Thank you all💕 And for the likes as well👍

This is simply The Best guide for beginners. Breast stroke is the easiest to learn in swimming which helps to build confidence. Thank you

Wow, been trying to learn how to swim 28 years ago and couldn’t afford a one on one teacher or class and here I’m an adult and no one has told me about the breathing part. Thank you!

When i was around 8 years old , i learnt it the hard way . The man threw us into the deep end of the pool each session ,to teach us to float. I vomited so much water😅 But anyway i can swim now

Me: ok ez Also me: *drowns

I'm 32 years old, I'm just started trying learning alone to swim. Im really scared at first but Your video helps me a lot. Thank you 😊

Hi friends, I'm learning to swim in Thailand now, 57 , ,in the pool at my condo. It's amazing, I learned to do backstroke with my pfd on. Today I started to swim in my stomach. Felt a little scared, but now getting the hang of it. Decided to come to RU-vid University to pick up on some tip. Your video was helpful, thanks for making it. Will keep you posted. All the best

My friend sent me this video and said go practice in the bathtub

I've been swimming for so long, I forget there are people who need a tutorial to swim. Just keep at it, yall. Swim with someone who knows how to swim and can swim for two people. Keep your lungs at least half filled with air. Swimming is about using your arms more than your legs (don't kick wildly, I know it's natural, but it's 80% arms). Stay in the shallow end until you're comfortable in the shallow. It's easier to move forward than stay in place. Don't panic if you fall in the water unexpectedly.

The video we all needed.. Straight and brief to the point

I am new to swimming, but it has been one of my decade old dream. I started training, then I came across this video and applied some of the techniques which really helped me get my last session right impressing my Trainer. lolz I am glad I watched it and following more - I would like to kindly suggest on making videos about breathing role in swimming. Thats probably one reason I couldnt get it right until my last session. You watch so many videos' where they dont technically guide you on where to control breathing, because in reality, beginner swimmers like myself use their own which is incorrect in most of the cases. Thank you again

Simple and stright into the point , this is how all online lessons should be , good work , TY.

me: in love with the ocean also me: can’t swim and biggest fear is drowning

I'm going to the beach tmrw and i love to swim so this will be really helpful, thanks! I had learned how to swim about 3 yrs ago and ever since i had forgotten a few things so I found this to remind me my training

This guy helps better than our coaches if you agree 👇

Mind:I have confident that I can swim. Body:Tomorrow you will find me dead. Edit: Thnx i never got so many like in my life

Me a swimmer in quarantine: oh great now I’ll remember how to swim once I get back in the water

I'm 42 and I'm looking forward to finally learning how to swin, thanks for the video

You are God-sent. Thank you for the tutorial.

who else just goes in and starts kicking around and moving there arms like crazy

So am I the only one who tired of staying in the safe zone of the pool😭

I'm watching this because I nearly drowned today, not only a legend but also a life saver.

Best video ever after fifty years of friends trying to have me drink a gallon of river water with no clue of what to do but to stay away from water

Y'all I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to swim. I'm 27 and trying to get into kayaking of all things because my friends do it.

This comment section is making me feel better about not knowing how to swim

You sir are brilliant. You gave a revelation about swimming I didn't know

I really loved and appreciated how this video showed each movement from all angles! Thanks!

Me: *A teenager who can't swim*

This is a good video. The way I was taught to swim, my friend’s brother told me to take a deep breath and try to sink down by curling into a ball. I couldn’t. From there he said as long as you have air in your lungs and you’re not trying to swim down you won’t go under and it’s just about using your arms and legs to move around and keep your head above. I started swimming instantly from that moment.

I'm 42 and am determined to swim The problem i have after 1 lesson was floating so thank you so much for this tip 😊

I will be commencing a swimming class by tomorrow. I needed some beginners guide. I've saved this video for reference sake. I shall use this as some form of motivation because I shall be back after 10 classes to give status report. I've been scared for too long and now, I'm confident.

I'm taking swimming lessons (today was my third day) I saw your video today, I followed all the steps and practiced an hour before my class, I am able to do it!!! my instructor was speechless, the people taking the course with me couldn't believe it! Thank you so much!!! :)

Every summer I have to watch those videos and practice on my bed , still can’t swim tho , it’s now a ritual for me 😂

I'm really proud of everyone here. Swimming is a thing of fun but even more safety. I wish you all the best in all your endeavor! - lifelong swimmer

Oh man, this video is awesome. I became beginner to intermediate swimmer in 10mins following these steps.

It's the holding the breath part that I always struggle with.

Me: wants to join the swim team Also me: *can't swim*

You made a complete logic of swimming which is something no one has done for me. I can't wait to start swimming now

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you very much! Grabbing my swimsuit and heading for a pool!🏃‍♀️

2021 is the year I learn to swim in Jesus's name 🙌
