Why Your Eggbeater is Not Working and How to Fix It: The Wrong and Right Way To Tread Water 

Thank you so much for this video, it confirmed my suspicions that I had been taught wrong!

I got two water polo teenagers in my house who have been trying to teach me eggbeaters for a year and this is the advice that finally made everything click for me

Thank you! This explains why I can’t get my head above water with the circular kick.

This is so important! I was never taught how to eggbeater as a player yet I achieved all American status 5 times; I say that not to brag but because it is absurd! I always wonder what could have been? I was born with club feet which gave me and my coaches an excuse but I see that doesn’t matter! I now have been coaching for 25 years and my athletes are struggling to eggbeater. I feel ashamed about that but I am currently correcting this problem in my program. It has become our priority! Thank you for these videos Coach!

Finally someone said it!!

I have been struggling to tread water and keep head out, my body sits very low with only the eyes out. I am very hopeful to try this correction. Hope i am able to get my head out of water with this technique

excellent video - thanks so much :)

Been trying to learn the eggbeater for so long. The term that you used "piston-like motion" was the key. I really feel the difference and makes more sense from a physics point of view too.

When you eggbeater correctly, is most of the force coming from the thigh? Shin? Ankle? Underneath the foot? Some combination of all?
