hehehe. hard to explain. pero you need to have balance too while in the water.

dapat straight parati ang body mo to maintain bouyancy.

Go to a swimming school - great skill to have especially considering the Philippines is a huge archipeligo of islands - water is everywhere.

 

Swimming is not that hard to learn - the biggest hurdle to learning is about having confidence in the water.

 

It'll also allow you to have a lot more fun at the beach.

First things first, Don't be Afraid.

 

Second, close your eyes while inside the pool and imagine yourself to be as light as possible as if ethereal ka.....in short kungbaga patay ka by this time yung buong body mo dapat nakalutang.

 

From there, mag-aral kang lumangoy aso.....pwede na yun for a start.

A good way to begin and get over the fear of having your head in water is to hold onto the edge of a pool with your hands, body out straight, face in the water and kicking you legs. Breathe to the left and right side when you need to.

 

All practical points - you swim with your face in the water, a lot of swimming revolves around the kicking and you need to breathe to the side for freestyle.

They're right first thing is to remove that fear then everything else will follow. Swimming is easy to learn and fun at that too. Was a swimmer once for our school and drooled over the hot babes in their swim attire. Unisex kasi shower room namin before kaya panalo.

I want to learn how to swim too.

kahit po ako di rin marunong mag swim, but marunong ako sumisid... some of my friends find that weird since how come I don't know how to swim e marunong naman daw ako sumisid. sabi ko, madali lang lumubog.. heheheh

 

but seriously, i guess the reason why i never got to learn how to swim was because I have this thing about water getting inside my ear.

 

but i would love to learn how din...

hold on the edge of the pool or try using a floating device tapos un paa mo lang muna ung gamitin mo...kelangan alternate lang sila....tapos pag ok na un kamay naman...good luck...

You learn how to swim the same way you learn learning how to bike. You have to earn your bruises.

 

Same way, dapat maranasan mo iyong muntik ka nang malunod. Pag naranasan mo na iyon, at nakaahon ka, then alam mo marunong ka nang lumangoy.

 

As in everthing else in life: How do we learn? We learn through pain.

You don't actually have to experience that dahil baka walang makakita sayo, matigok ka hehehe. You need to grasp for air if you want to float in the water. try mo muna sa pool side ka magstroke ... don't get nervous ... relax, do the basic swimming stroke ... the dog paddle, raise your head, lie your chest while you are moving your arms and legs alternately.

ironic, i love the beach so much but i really don't know how to swim it's not that i'm scared, i just don't know the proper breathing techniques coz i've never had swimming lessons.

 

i do know how to float and sometimes nakaka-sisid din ako. I want to enroll in a swimming class but I just keep putting it off.

i learned to swim when my dad pushed me into a pool. was about 10 y/o then

[cereal.killer.]

if you really want to learn go straight for the swim school, it doesnt really cost that much anmore, marming ng lozada training grounds. :thumbsupsmiley: give it a coupla weeks and you'd be swimming with the fish in no time.

[dedbol]

hmmm...try to imagine that everyone else in the pool are naked...that might get you started
