Khobi, two dialogues inspired from the movies:

1. Jo Dar Gaya, So Mar Gaya.
2. Jisne Ki Sharam, Uske Phute Karam.

Its very necessary to gain on one's shyness and fear. These two often brings a person down. Instead why don't you let these two fight against each other? Just think your friend is in danger and crying for your help at the 25 meter spot. What do you do?

If you were a young lad, and I was your swimming instructor, I would pull down your shots and throw it in the 25 meter arena. In such a case who would lead? your fear or your shyness? Who would be more agressive?

Honestly, i was in swim team during my high school years. I learned swimming at the age of 9. Now, i can swim but i don't have the stamina (side effects of shadi:-( )

Khobi~G, first question - can u float??? that's very important! If u can float then u will learn the swimming strokes easily....

Good...we r progressing wacko.gif Hold on to the side of the pool and try to kick it while keeping ur lower body up or close to the top. IF u r spashing too much water then ur legs r too far above the water. it should be horizontal to the water level. After u get ur kicking in a steady pace....then, let go the side and try to swim towards the side of the pool. Take baby steps....don't try to swim across! Also, its very important to keep the breathing and ur movements in sync. WISH i could help u in the pool blush2.gif

Its just one of those things, you have to practise hard and work a lot before you get the hang of it, but once you do, it really is a breeze. And - well, I am never short of confidence.

practice more on your breathing - it's the breathing that lets people down.
Stand at the shallow end of the pool, while holding to the trough of the pool take breathe in ( make sure its in your lungs and not your mouth), out you head under water and then breathe out through your mouth while slowly raising your head out of water.

Plus remember to be relax when swimming if you are not relaxed then you fight against the water and that makes u sink
