Swimming Basics: Treading Water. Time to learn an essential life skill in this one! Anyone looking to ever get near water should take a look at this. Stay safe in the water!
things like these are very helpful but during real accidents, people tends to panic and forget everything they learned. Swimming isn't just about learning to swim but to also learning to overcome your phobia/fears of water and focus mentally
This is me right now. I'm just learning how to tread water. As soon I begin to sink I forget everything and panic. It's hectic. 😭 I wish I could easily get over my aquaphobia
Just started out learning to swim recently so I am very happy to have found such an excellent tutorial on this basic yet critical skill. Have a much higher confidence of getting this right thanks to your video.
simple and direct. . .tnx. . .i know to swim in just a bit distance only on shallow water hahahaha i didnt attempt on deep water bec. i dont know how to float(tread water). . .as much as i want to enjoy swimming. . .i envy others coz they learn it naturally. tnx God there is youtube and chanel like this.
Yeah don't put yourself in danger until you can keep yourself up in the deep water! Yeah some people are more natural floaters and can pick up the technique very easily. But keep working at it and you'll get there in the end! Good luck!
It is hard to know why exactly this happens without seeing your kick, however the best things to do are; to have a wide base so position your body in a way so that you look like your sitting in a chair, ensure that your legs are constantly kicking, and use the sculling motion with your hands to assist with your kick. I hope that this helps
Swimproving if I kick like this violently, I’ll stay afloat for a mere 20 seconds. I need to do this for 5 minutes. How do I build up muscular endurance to keep treading? My leg muscles get pumped and tire way too quickly
This video on egg-beater sculling is very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm just starting off ... first got started sitting on a noodle ... and I didn't get such detailed demonstration .. Now I think I'm better prepared to try it.

feel like when i'm treading i have to go really fast, flailing almost (or more doggy paddle style) to actually have it work well enough. guess control and such comes with time?
I can't even do this in shallow water. I am really struggling with this. Front and back float is easy, but when I do it upright, my body automatically tenses up.
It may be that your kick may not be strong enough, so if you have access to a noodle put it underneath you (like you would riding a horse) and practice trying to keep your shoulders out of the water, the noodle will help keep you up in the water and then all you have to do is work on the technique and strength of your kick. when consistent this should then mean your kick is strong enough to perform without support. Hope that this helps!
I can never tread water, I remember taking lessons and they always say bicycle kicks. I found it waste too much energy and I end up sinking. I have no problem however using a slow breast stroke and frog legs to stay afloat for days. The egg beater makes sense, it's almost like an alternating half frog leg. Gonna try this next time in the pool.
I am 37 and still can't do this. I've had people work with me and I've gotten the techniques right enough only to repeatedly be told, "that looks perfect, this makes no sense, you should be staying up but you juat go straight down. I don't know what to tell you." I think it's just the way my body is built. I've spent a lot of time in the water and love it so much, I desperately want to scuba more than anything, but I can't keep my head above water to save my life. Literally. 😢
Hello Sir... I'm from India Is treading water possible for a person over 50 years of age, not knowing to swim, and having pain in the knees? Please help...
Threading water and swimming with my head above the water are my hardest obstacle rn 😆 I can swim freestyle and breast stroke with head in the water, but can’t thread water 😅
I want to learn thread because i want to be part of philippine army you need 30 minutes in the water after 30 minutes the instructor will drown you so I need more intense knowledge
Okay, well work on them individually. The Leg technique is more important to learn as this will be able to keep your head above the water on its own. The sculling motion can just be put in occasionally until you are able to use both at the same time. Thank you for your comment!
I really want to learn swimming but whenever my head get submerged in the water, I would start panicking cause i feel like drowning :( i drowned before when i was a kid. thanks to life guard who saved me
Good instructional video but u need better editing with diagrams and other visuals that aide the learner. At the moment it sounds like ur just vomiting out instructions and its difficult to learn from that. U need to keep the audience and ur goal in mind when u make vids.
