Outline/Main parts
Learning to swim freestyle can be a hugely liberating experience but for many the first step in this process is actually deciding and telling yourself you can do this. Many people are filled with fear or self-doubt, especially when deciding to learn to swim a little later in life. That's normal, it's OK!
Just like with any skill, the freestyle stroke should be broken down into small, manageable exercises with a clear vision leading to the next step. It's often the feeling of being overwhelmed by too many things to think about that prevents people from attempting this great life-skill. It seems a monumental hurdle to try and overcome just to perform your first few strokes.
Swim Smooth passionately believe that anyone can learn to swim freestyle and develop a smooth and efficient technique at the same time. Follow the simple steps below to keep yourself thinking positively about your swimming.
Questions
How do I get my feet off the floor of the pool?
• Hold onto a friend's hands or the side of the pool. Raise your feet off the floor and bend them back under you, then lower them to the floor again. Keep practicing this until you're comfortable lifting your feet, letting your face go underwater, and standing up again.
