Beginners: DON'T Do This When Floating

One of the most common mistakes beginner swimmers make is trying to push their head too far back.

Just because you can lean further doesn't mean you should! 😅

The goal is simple: keep your chin higher than your FOREHEAD so don't overdo it.

Small adjustments can make a huge difference when learning to relax and feel comfortable in the water.

Sinking Legs While Swimming Instant Fix

Do your legs sink when swimming? The problem may not be your kick it could be your balance.

Try moving your arms forward in front of your body. As your arms move forward, your body balance changes and your legs can rise closer to the surface.

In this quick swimming tip, you’ll see the difference: arms by the legs → legs sink. Arms forward → legs return toward the surface.

Stop Making Swimming Harder Than It Needs to Be

Think using a kickboard, fins, or other swimming aids will make you dependent on them? That's one of the biggest myths beginners believe.

The right swimming training aids can help you engage and strengthen the muscles needed for proper swimming. As those movement patterns improve, you can gradually remove the support while keeping the skills you've developed.

You don't always learn faster by doing everything without help. Sometimes, more support means faster learning.

The Easy Way to Start a Back Float

If you’re learning to back float, don’t simply fall backward into the water from a standing position.

That can make the water go straight over your face and cause unnecessary panic.

Instead, get low in the water first, put your shoulders underwater, use CHIN BACK, LEAN BACK, and calmly begin your back float.

This small change can make starting a back float feel much more controlled and comfortable for beginners.

This Is Why You Can’t Stand Up in Water

Why can't you stand up in the water after floating on your belly? The problem might be your head position.

Lifting your head too soon can throw off your balance during a belly dismount. Keep your head in the water until your feet reach the ground, then stand up.

This simple swimming technique can make standing up in the water feel much smoother and easier.

Perfect for beginner swimmers, adults learning to swim, nervous swimmers, and anyone practicing how to stand up in water.

Watch closely and try the movement slowly.

This quick swimming tip will help you build better technique and confidence in the water.
