I used to be ok with treading water I’m still ok if there is a coach with me but I can’t do it alone and also I used to have no problem swimming to the deep end and from the deep end but one time I got tired before I reach the shallow end and I felt to grab something and I didn’t find it and I ask the lifeguard to pull me and another time the coach tell me to not swim to the deep end even though I felt I was capable and these two times only made me terrified from going to and from deep end but I still can trade water with a coach only. I swim all the shallow end until I reach the deep end line and I get terrified I wonder why is that

Hello everyone my name is Nadia, hope everyone is well. I’m here as I want to develop my confidence in deep water and learn treading water, any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you 😊

need a l lot of help treading water... well, i don't know how to tread water

How do you get over the fear of deep water?

Today I vertical floated for one minute. Learning to do relaxed rhythmic breathing and a calm state of mind it was easier to do. I did the same with treading just reminding myself slow calm rhythmic breathing makes it better. I encourage everyone to keep going everyday try something new each day and celebrate your small wins.
