How To Learn To Swim


Recommended Posts

gusto ko talaga matuto saka nagle-lessons ako pero talagang lumulubog ako (sinker) kaya hindi ako makapag-treading at floating. kailangan umaandar ako palagi

 

Hanap ka ng ibang swim coach. Baka may mali sa turo sa iyo.

 

Kadalasan lumulubog dahil sa body position sa tubig. Usual problem ay sa paghinga. Kung aangat ang ulo paharap, ang tendency ay bumaba at lumubog ang legs. Pero nako-correct naman ito.

Nope, my mother was 38 when she took up swimming lessons and she swims almost every week now.

Completely agree.

 

the very first lesson to swimming is to learn to breath properly.... the rest will follow

 

Also agree with this.

 

I know how to swim since I was five pero "langgoy dagat" or "langgoy ilog". I learned the proper way of swimming from Coach Benj - he's an active triathlete and reasonable naman ang rate niya 3000php for 10 sessions (this was 2013 - I'm not sure if his rates are higher). Natuto ako ng proper swimming techniques (breaststroke, freestyle and butterfly).

 

He does his lessons within the AFP compound (sometimes sa Daza, sometimes sa Officers). One hour ang lessons pero you can practice swimming as much as you want. He also manages five students only per session (no more than that) para focused ang training. He makes sure you learn one stroke properly before you move on to another.

 

You can get in touch with him via his FB page:

Three of my very hefty friends are scared of the water at naglessons kami sa kanya - ngayon nakakatawid na sila ng olympic sized pool at nakakalaps na sila because of his teaching.

for swim lessons, it's usually Lozada. Pero mejo mahal na sila at hindi na mismo yung Lozada brothers yung nagtuturo. Swerte ka na if sila mismo maging trainers/coach mo.

 

Pwede magpaturo usually sa any sports club, usually may mga lifeguard and coaches who give tips and help newbies.

 

Madalas may mga coaches din who teach for aspiring triathletes.

Pero being a competitive swimmer myself, minsan yung turo nung mga "triathlon" coaches ineffective or di ka nila na babantayan ex. yung form mo. So most cases yung swimmers may bad habits.

 

Payo ko nalang is when you jump in the water, wag mag panic; just learn how to breath first. Then pag comfortable ka na, you can try to experiment. Pag gusto matuto ng strokes, ideal na you get a real swimming instructor. If wala mahanap, youtube videos from Speedo meron din. Then you can compensate with training tools ex. pull buoy, kickboard, paddles, fins. Talking to other swimmers for advice, helpful din.

 

Good luck!
