GM Coach Jeff, I’ve been trying to learn how to swim underwater. When I try to go down under the water I rise back to the top or I met resistance when I press down to go deeper. Do you have a video on how to do this? What are your recommendations?

Caribe Nation, Many of you have asked how to stand up from a backfloat. Step 1: Slowly look at your toes Step 2: Bring your knees into your chest Step 3: Do a BIG circle with your arm(s) Step 4: Bring your feet to the ground Remember, practice is the key to proficiency. Leave your comments below! BIG Love, Coach Jeff P.S. For my American swimmers, Happy 4th of July 🧨

My why is...

Up early getting ready for morning aquatic aerobic, swim and treading practice my goal is 30:00 min. Working to build a stronger tread each time.

Hi Coach @Jeff Wood and Coach @Meredith Barrington I today managed to glide and push forward after half hour of practising. I even found gliding towards open water more comfortable, as I could use the wall to kick off and propel myself. I managed to get 5 pushes at 4 sec hold each time. When I stood up, I saw that I was half way across the pool. I absolutely love learning and I am now on video 4, effortless breathing. I am practising the breathing procedure at home before I can try it in the pool. It's an amazing feeling that I've come this far 😁 ❤️. I am really not sure why, but, my body feels looks it wants me to do the breast stroke kick? 🤷‍♀️ . I don't know how to do that, so I refrain from trying, just in case I end up at the bottom of the pool 😂 Thank you once again 🙏
