Okay. I’m going to taking a risk for swimming w/ no personal supervision in the public pool.


How do you swim? I need tips and guidance.
Lecture me.

Well first thing in swimming (professionally speaking) is to learn how to float. First try to float on your back and on your stomach. Don't be scared to open your eyes underwater either (unless there's a lot of chlorine in the water, you can smell it if there is). Also do not stiffin up, don't try to add your weight like you're tryin to sink. Try to stay as light as possible and relaxed. And don't try to lay straight as a board, it won't work.

Also don't be scared if the first few time you try to float on your back and fail only to go underneath the water. Some people can't handle going underneath the water facing upwards lol. So expect it, hold your breath and don't panic :)

Once you learn how to float, you'll know how to swim. How do I know this for sure? Because you'll realize a system of how to throw your arms so that they act like paddles of a boat.

You can't swim until you know how to float, that's the golden rule of swimming. Once you float, everything else becomes easy.


By the way, I like to swim like a dolphin. I make my body as aerodynamic as possible by either leaving my arms at my sides of my body, or sides of my head with my index fingers touching. And using my legs to propel forward by moving them up and down as powerful as I can (like a dolphin) this is good for strength, fast twitch muscles, and endurance.
