Takeaways
- 🏊♂️ Always have a buddy: It's safer to learn swimming with someone who can watch over you, especially in deeper water.
- 🏊♀️ Choose the right environment: Learning in a pool or calm lake is easier than in the ocean with waves.
- 👓 Use swimming goggles: They help reduce claustrophobia and improve underwater visibility.
- 💨 Breathing is key: Full lungs help you float, while exhaling causes you to sink, so understand the relationship between breath and buoyancy.
- 🧘♂️ Practice floating: Start by curling into a ball in shallow water, then practice floating with your face in the water and eventually with a stretched-out body.
- 🦵 Kicking technique: Learn to kick by pulling your legs in, flexing while kicking out, and collecting your feet together, starting with support from the pool edge.
- 🚀 Use a floatation device: Practice kicking with a floatation board or a water bottle to keep your upper body above water.
- 🤲 Arm movement: Learn the arm movements while standing, then practice while lying on your belly to move forward without sinking.
- 🔄 Combine arms and legs: Once comfortable with individual movements, combine them to swim, starting with your head above water.
- 🌊 Breathing while swimming: Inhale when your head is above water and exhale when it's underwater to maintain a streamlined position and swim faster.
- 👨🏫 Consider a swimming course: For improved technique and confidence, taking a course with a coach is beneficial.

hello guys christian video here and in
this video you will learn
how to swim if you have no experience in
swimming and have never been in the
water before
this video will take you from total
beginner to someone who can feel
comfortable and safe
around and in the water when starting to
learn how to swim it is best if you are
not
alone but you have someone around you
who can keep an eye on you
especially when you start getting into
the deep end of the pool
it is also easier and more comfortable
to learn this
in a pool or a calm lake than in the
ocean
where there is waves it's also more
comfortable if you have a mask or
swimming goggles so you can see
underwater that way it will feel less
claustrophobic
so let's start number one
you should always remember that as long
as you have full lungs
you are naturally floating in the water
so try this
go to the shallow end of the pool where
you can stand
take a deep breath and curl your body up
like a ball
like you see me do in the video right
now when doing this you will feel
that you are floating and staying at the
surface of the water
now i want you to breathe out all the
air you have in your lungs and you will
see that your body is sinking to the
bottom
so now you know that as long as your
lungs are full
you will stay at surface if you breathe
out your body will sink
in the beginning it can feel a bit
claustrophobic you should always know
that at any point you can just stand up
and you are safe
so what i want you to do is take a
breath curl up to a ball just float in
the water for
five to ten seconds then you stand up
you take
some breaths breathe a little bit relax
and then you try to do the same thing
again
just have your face in the water
floating do this
until you feel comfortable having your
face in water and just floating around
when you feel comfortable floating in
this position you can try to stretch out
your body and float
with a stretched out body like i'm doing
right now
when you're able to do that you have
mastered the floating part
step number two we will now learn how to
kick
to move forward in the water there is
three parts to the kick
one pulling the legs in two flexing your
legs
while kicking out and three collecting
your feet together and stretching your
ankles
to learn and get comfortable with doing
the movement you can hold on to the edge
of the pool while practicing to pull
your legs in
kicking and collecting again and again
it will take some practice to get the
move automated
so it feels natural but it's not very
hard
when you feel like you got the movement
right you can grab hold of a floating
board or anything that floats
even a big empty water bottle with a cap
on will do
this is to keep your upper body and head
above water while you practice the kicks
when moving forward in the water when
this works okay for you
you can try to float on your back
without holding on to anything
and just practice the kicks if you like
you don't have to hold your breath while
swimming on your back
just take smaller breaths and remember
as long as you don't breathe out all the
air in your lungs you will float
when this feels comfortable you can move
on to step three
which is using your arms you can start
practicing
the movement while standing with just
your head above the water
stretch your arms out forward move them
around
while holding them straight and then
collecting them you put your
palms together and stretch your arms out
over your head again
you should also twist your palms outward
when pushing the water around your body
when you get the movement you can try to
lay on your belly stretch out your body
and use your arms to move forward
you use the arms to push your body
forward and up so you don't sink
in between the breaths with some
practice you should be able to do this
with no problem
in step 4 we will combine using arms and
legs
you will now pull your legs in kick with
your legs
while you stretch out your arms as you
collect your feet
you start moving your arms around and
glide forward in the water
you repeat the motion and you are now
swimming in the beginning it will
probably be most comfortable to swim
with your head above
water at all time but when you get good
at it you can try to put your
head down in the water as you start
kicking
and when you pull your arms around they
will push your upper body
with your head out of the water when
swimming like this
you breathe in when your head is above
water
you then breathe out while your head is
under water
and as your head comes out of the water
you quickly take a deep breath and you
repeat the motion
breathing out while you have your head
under water
this is so that your body is more
stretched out and you will be able to
swim faster than if you keep your head
above water all time
and that is all there is to get you
started with swimming the breast stroke
before
we move on to the deep end of the pool
where you can't stand or touch the
bottom
you should feel comfortable swimming
around without touching the bottom for a
while
it can also be smart to learn how to
thread water
and how to float on your back so you
won't panic if you get tired
there's a link in this description below
on how to thread water and how to float
on your back
if you can i suggest you take a swimming
course that way you will learn how to
swim
from a swimming coach who will help you
with your technique and you will be a
better swimmer
who are able to enjoy the water more
