1, hold your breath. Most people only know how to hold their breath hard, all their strength is spent on their faces, and their attention is also on their faces, so their movements will be deformed. The first step is to practice holding your breath in shallow water. Every time you can't hold it, spit it out slowly. Be sure to slow down at first and try different exhalation rates. At the same time, relax and try to open your eyes underwater. It is better to have goggles.

2. Drifting practice. Floating is an important basis for learning to swim. In the water, you can observe that those who swim well are basically straight and slide horizontally like torpedoes. And those slow beginners, the body is almost inclined, and the angle with the horizontal plane is large.

There are upward drifting and downward drifting. The first thing to learn is to drift downward-face down and back to the sky. The human body can float in water, but beginners often lack experience in this field. So once the head enters the water and the feet don't touch the ground, they immediately panic, which is precisely the taboo of drowning people. In order to overcome this fear, you can do immersion exercises before learning to drift.

In shallow water, bend over and immerse your head in the water, exhale slowly and count silently to see how long you can last. If you practice repeatedly for a period of time, you will no longer be afraid of water in your head, and the time for holding your breath will gradually extend.

3. Stand in the water. Beginners can take a floating board or swimming ring, climb up the pool wall, bury their heads in the water, stretch their arms forward, stand up straight and slide forward. When you want to stand up, put your legs together and hold your body tight. Because people's legs are dense, the body is naturally vertical. You can stand on the bottom of the pool at this time. This exercise is to improve the sense of security in the water.

4. Sliding practice. In shallow water, stand with your back against the pool wall, bend over, stretch your arms forward, bury your head in the water, then lift one leg and push the pool wall backwards to keep your body level and slide forward. Remember, be sure to bury your head in the water as much as possible, so that your body can be flat. Try to relax and not be nervous, and gradually realize that water can float your body.

After losing speed, the legs will gradually sink, then slowly close the legs and stand up. This gradually overcomes the tension and cultivates hydrophilicity. Practice several times, and you will have confidence and feeling about drift. You can swing from side to side during the slide. Take it easy. You can get used to the balance in the water after practicing a few more times. After the above exercises are proficient, you can add frog legs to practice while sliding.

Swimming preparation:

1, earplugs. It is inevitable that water will flow into the ears when swimming, but the earplugs are light and small and easy to fall off. Beginners should not rely too much on earplugs, but should learn to relax, coordinate and have rhythm.

2, nose clip. When swimming, water waves often flush water into the nostrils, causing suffocation. Beginners can prepare a nose clip and get rid of the habit of inhaling through the nose.

3. Swimming glasses. Mainly to prevent the occurrence of eye diseases, for beginners, wearing swimming glasses can also open their eyes in the water.
