😩Does treading water seem impossible? 😓Do you tire out quickly?
⚓️Have a fear of sinking?
Try this technique in ⚠️shallow water⚠️ 👇🏼

❌ Don’t view treading as an endurance activity that requires lots of strength -
✅ first we’re going to be smart and make our lungs become our life jackets. Since air is free only then should you add arms or legs for more support. 🙉Optional: if you need more support —keep your ears under water and look up while completing all other steps.

While in shallow water, you can feel safe to try out a few of these techniques.

👉The goal is to fill your lungs with air and see how that affects your natural buoyancy. Try this before you even try to move your arms or legs!

👉 once you get comfortable with using air for buoyancy, and you are able to keep your face out of the water while lifting your legs up briefly, then you’re ready to do the steps in this video.

👉 don’t forget to practice the breathing techniques from my previously posted videos 👀 they will help you here.

👉if you don’t keep enough air in your lungs your arms and legs have to work harder!

happy treading!

😧Have you mastered this water safety sequence? This is the easiest way to go from deep water to shallow water. And with practice it can be done effortlessly!

✨Start in shallow water-all sequences need practiced over and over before moving on to deep water.

The sequence:
💦 tread water
💦 place ears underwater
💦 inhale via mouth
💦 stretch into back float
💦 add arms
💦 add flutter kick

I have a video tutorial for each one of these steps on my page so go check those out first if you have not mastered these skills individually.

If learning any of these water safety skills has been on your bucket list, but you can’t bring yourself to even get started, comment “FIRST STEPS” below and I will send you my breathing foundations exercises. These are the first 5 steps that I take all of my students through to prepare them for all of the skills in this video. No pool required.

A mastered back float may look different than you think! Remember: different floats for different folks 🤣

Both of these students are successfully back floating in a way that is comfortable and natural for them and their body type.

I hope this series encourages you to relax and accept your back float even if your legs are low! And also teach you that you only need to worry about low legs if they’re actively sinking you and pulling you under.

In case you missed it, I’ve linked my back float tutorial here and aptly named it “Face Up Float” lol!

Quiz time! The correct answer may surprise you!👇😅

OK, I’ll give you a hint…

What really matters in a good back float?
🙌 your face is up and out of the water

🙌 you are comfortably breathing

🙌 you’re able to rest in any depth of water

So which is correct? 🤔 🤨 🧐

🏆The answer is: They both are correct! Both of these students are correctly back floating. If you follow the checklist above, you can see that they both have their face up, they both are comfortably breathing, and they both are able to rest even in deep water.

💦 Just because student number two floats comfortably with her legs down does not mean her back float is incorrect or that she is actively sinking.

Why do they look different?
Everybody’s density is different. I always say different floats for different folks! 🤣

The Takeaway: As long as your face is up, you’re comfortably breathing, and you can rest in any depth of water ACCEPT🤗 your back float as is and relax!

How’s your back float?

🤔 Did you know how you position your body in the water directly affects your ability to float and tread?

💦 What you’re keeping OUT of the water directly impacts the rest of your body that is under the water!

✨Try it for yourself: In shallow water try lifting your hands out of the water while you are in your back float. See what happens?

✨In a front float, you could lift your head out of the water and look forward. See what happens to your feet?

✨Try treading with your chest out of the water. See how much harder it is?

🌀That’s why I always start with getting low to the surface. The closer our body remains to the surface the easier it is to float, tread and swim.

🫣Has this been your problem all along? Get back to the pool and check to make sure your arms, legs and ears are under water for best results.

🤩Already conquered this problem? Don’t keep it to yourself! Please send this out to someone who says they can’t float or tread to help them out!

👀Stay tuned for more tips and tricks you should have learned in swim class but didn’t. I see you and YOU’VE got this!!

Every body can float! 🛟 If your legs sink in your float, don’t panic, it’s completely normal. You don’t need a perfectly flat float to be successful.

Here is your quick Floating Checklist:

✅Face up?
✅Able to breathe?
✅Resting?

If you checked all three boxes, you are floating successfully! If your legs still need a little help, just add a gentle kick or light arm movements to keep yourself up.
