joshTWjosh Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Can swim well but can't do the flips that I see some swimmers do at the end of lanes, and it's quite lame to hire a swim instructor just to learn that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryk Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I agree totally. Tried learning the flip from YouTube but it's not as easy as it is on the video. Hoping someone here can teach me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Yuan Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 My mom forced me to learn when I was 12 which made me hate swimming. That's why I never go swimming all these years and forgot how to swim. This year I decided to learn it all over again. I just did 3 months of basic lessons from Feb to May this year. I can now swim 50m breast stroke but my front crawl is still very weak. I practised for months but still have difficulty swimming more than 25m without stopping. I want to go for intermediate lessons to improve it and also learn other skills. twdpenang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathblade88 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 can swim but can't tread water lol... I find treading water more easier than to swim. The trick i suppose is that you can't stop moving your legs and mantain your head above water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your front crawl/freestyle, it might be your strokes are wrong. Do you use the 4 kicks, 1 pull method ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HLW2AI1Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefight Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 i think most people who cant swim freestyle for long is due to the legs being tired out from successive moving. unlike breaststroke, where you draw circles with your legs,freestyle is like piakpiakpiakpiak so it gets tiring quicker. i learnt the freestyle myself by swimming the width of the middle pool until i was comfortable.... so yeah.

water Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 i started learning to swim in my 20s and with a personal trainer so i don't have to feel so embarrassed about it. i think it's worth the money even if u just want to learn how to do flips in the pool because the coach will also correct your current strokes, so u can be efficient and faster in the water.

ouat1972 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Typically, when a victim realizes that they cannot keep their head above water they tend to panic, leading to the classic “surface struggle”. They gasp for air at the surface and hold their breath as they bob beneath. Struggling to breathe, they can’t call for help. Their bodies are upright, arms weakly grasping, as if trying to climb a non-existent ladder from the sea. Studies with New York lifeguards in the 1950s and 1960s found that this stage lasts just 20 to 60 seconds. When victims eventually submerge, they hold their breath for as long as possible, typically 30 to 90 seconds. After that, they inhale some water, splutter, cough and inhale more. Water in the lungs blocks gas exchange in delicate tissues, while inhaling water also triggers the airway to seal shut – a reflex called a laryngospasm. “There is a feeling of tearing and a burning sensation in the chest as water goes down into the airway. Then that sort of slips into a feeling of calmness and tranquility,” describing reports from survivors. That calmness represents the beginnings of the loss of consciousness from oxygen deprivation, which eventually results in the heart stopping and brain death.
