ReplyDeleteSomeone probably tried to teach you that swimming was a set of movements, but really it starts with a state of breathing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I did some pool lifeguarding, I taught a few children's classes. The first step is trying to figure out how to hold your breath by simultaneously blocking your throat and nasal cavity.
Blocking your nose is probably trickiest. There a lot of things in the human body some people don't use, however it usually automatically happens for people when they block their throat which is basically like squeezing your voicebox so no sound gets out. (And close your mouth while you're at it)
When you can do that, you can float, like a balloon with air in it. Eventually you learn to open up the lungs a little so you can breath while floating. When you get good at breathing and floating (you need to breath heavily to exercise), then you can practice some swimming strokes.
*steps up to podium* I want to first thank my mom and dad for this award, and god.... and that guy over there *points* WE DID IT!
