Eggbeater

[bananian]

failed my water rescue course b/c of this. :(

[Shorty20122012]

What makes this method of treading water better than just doing flutter kicks in a vertical position, while sculling with both hands?

Does this require less energy?

[iluv2swimbutterfly]

@CtrolokDoncov @Oldskool97 Goalie Power FTW :) but yeah. shallow ends are the best for goalies :D

[Oldskool97]

@CtrolokDoncov Yea! Goalie Power! Oh n some places have shallow ends where ya get to stand on the bottom

[esiosan]

Troes to do that on the beach but got tired quick

[Yazdmich]

pshhhh, this is easy. i was doing it in swim class during summer and the teacher was all like "how do you know how to do it? and i said "saw it on tv".

its the truth

[Oldskool97]

How do you get higher out of the water while eggbeating? I'm a goalie and training tips would be nice to have, since I have a year to improve and win my spot

[purplerock13]

@Oldskool97 You just need to do it way faster. It is tiring at the first weeks but youll get used to it.

And also if you know the attack position ( Your hips up and egg beating slowly) you can pop up.

You do this by bring your knees to your chest. Scissor kicking, and pushing down with your hands.

Hopefully this helped :)

THIS is actually harder than it seems!even with a noodle(THANKS FOR THE IDEA asdfgeyhhgjfuhfdgrta),bloody hard,not givin up tho,bcuz 6swimming lessons for a $100 is a RIP OFF

[ron7006]

If your knees hurt afterwards, you're doing something wrong. Change it up next time. If it still hurts, give it up. Your body will thank you when you're 40.

[ImakepplLaff]

They're doing it wrong in the video, im taking the NLS course right now and ure feet should always be turning counter-clock wise so that you catch maximun tread.

[lilkev8504]

@ImakepplLaff it would be opposite for each foot... cause not everyones born with 2 right feet...

[NoiseMachineChannel]

I can do all the swim strokes, but I can't do this to save my life. l0l

[fengjinutube]

At the 15th second of the video, the video is playing backwards (rewinding), which is very confusing and misleading if one tries to find out how the legs move.

[Gynecologist]

Knock knock. Who's there? Money. Money who? My knees hurt doing the eggbeater.

[omigoshjen]

omg! the "bicycle" image was like a mental breakthrough! i've been dying to learn eggbeater treading cause i can do the four main strokes, but can't go into the deep end for fear of drowning :<

[lks05]

@omigoshjen

me too!!

but "..like cycling backward and draw circles with toes holding pencils" is mind-blogging!

[CopperheadTM]

Egg beater is bloody hard. I learned to swim less than a year ago and the last time I went swimming I tried this. Needless to say it all went to hell! The tips in this video clear things up quite a bit. Will try cycling backwards next time I'm in the pool!

[asdfgeyhhgjfuhfdgrta]

@CopperheadTM i learned to use eggbeater a few moths ago i just learned to swim i figured f-it learn the eggbeater, what helped me alot is i took a noddle a floating thing put it under my arms it was just enough to keep my head above the water i would do the eggbeater to get myself a bit higher out of the water. i did that tell i got the proper form, once i was able to do it for 30 min i threw away the noodle and worked at it on my own.

[TTINUHPLOTR]

My water polo team captain is helping me with this. She said it took her a month to get it right. So I'm like: but. but. that's like, half the season! xD

[Robocop527]

So this is the easiest way to tread water...cause im gonna start playing water polo soon :(

[PiratePowell]

and another is doing vertical eggbeater across the pool while holding o folding chair or one of those alhabra jugs of water over your head,

[panicboixd]

this is the best way to thread? lol i have to do this for 15 minutes :[

[PiratePowell]

for 15 minutes of treading, definitely. there are other techniques in case your out on the ocean, but i hope you won't be needing those.

[1KingOfCarrotFlowers]

that is good leg exercise
