[lemor09]

Thanks for showing the right way to swim. Have a great day!

[jeudy1op]

Hi i'm 11, i don't know how to swim . But ever since i watched your videos, i started to feel comfortable and eventually learn how to swim :D thank you very much

[FlareDemonReborn]

Is this the lady that played the mermaid in the 13th year?

[TheLazygal15]

I can't swim and i am almost in my teens....

[rileyrawr98]

@TheLazygal15 thats ok im 13 and am still learning how to swim i know a little bit but not much =) it's normel

[Disn3yNia]

its becoming very embarissing for me not being able to swim at my age these tips are very useful i no longer have to hide

[SergioSource]

the only I can do with ease is the back one, since im tall. crawl I tire fast, and the others... nty xD

[TheLeilisa]

swimming would help you grow taller ?

[021311]

It looks so easy, but when I do it, I just kept sinking, even I hold my breath..

[LilPaisax3]

ima 56 and idonno how 2 swim

[killer9322]

i just learned how to swim back ward today

[pfotojenik]

@killer9322 Great job keep working at it! It's fun.



[pufilici]

Go even learn to teach swimming and then put the video on YouTube

[Gcole200]

thanks samantha

you really helped me i could hardly do the back crawl

[clubpenguinsucks]

Hmm... it makes sense and I'll try this but I still wish I had an invisible flotay duck around me so I don't have to put up the shame if I fail at this.

[pfotojenik]

@clubpenguinsucks Dont worry forget about everyone else, no need to feel shame. Not everyone knew how to swim without fear from the start.

[Holycrap27]

you didn't start right, when you start your arms have to be above your head, well i guess it doesn't matter for leisure swimming...

[p0nhc0]

looks difficult

[IkiriRiri]

what school?

[SharmanLtd]

shes so perfect :/

[aflatoon72]

how to stop water going into nose n ears ??? while swimming ....my gets full after swimming.

[jjaniero]

beautiful demo

[jdubdoubleu]

i wonder if she is peeing in the pool?

[imacutie525]

your sick!

[nicole101nicole]

nice teaching!

[honnypiee]

her density is less than the density of water sooo she floats?

[missbigail]

i dont trust u alot

[sposada94]

we have to take swimming at school and we were being tested to see if we knew how to swim. I thought I could swim.....I did the the freestyle perfectly but I could do the backstroke because water kept getting in my nose! they put me with the non swimmers in the 3 feet.

[clubpenguinsucks]

I know how that feels *cries*.... this happened to me last year and I'm starting swimming in my school tomorrow and I heard we are doing backstrokes...well time to go cry in a corner!

[Uwais147247]

Lol clubpenguin does suck!

[1000MileLost]

I was she was my instructor =) hottt

[ahftres]

I have learnt an awful lot from this lesson, as the back stroke was once my nemisis!

I carn't wait to get in the pool and try out your technique. Thanks again.

[QUIXOTICELIXER1]

she makes floating on your back just like that so easy!!

I find it so difficult

[iHamsters98]

lol i have been able to do that since i was like 6!!!!! xP

[QUIXOTICELIXER1]

yeah... get over yourself nobody asked your opinoin you didnt need to waste my time replying to my comment just cos i cant do it. sheesh

[xaviermockingbird]

Its easy if you relax and dont worry about sinking all you have to do is lay flat as if you were on the ground and not curl into a ball or anything weird like that youve got to try and get as much surface area on the water as possible you know lower your denceity thats what keeps us from sinking and everything else that floats for that matter .

[QUIXOTICELIXER1]

thanks

[xaviermockingbird]

Your very welcome hope it helped in some way .

[kkyy23]

thanks =D and its density

[Blasterboy9732]

[Erick95757]

[cassandrabadie]

me to just learning an after 3 weeks can now tread water with a device seems like i am going so slow i find i can float very well on my back but i am kind of scared to let go of the wall

i am practing breathing under water to i long to be able to swim from one end of the pool to the other ahhhhhh

[spitgalore]

I find your instructions very useful, even now when I'm in my mid-seventies, thanks. I'm still learning to swim. I've just started to float.

[DjWth2]

@spitgalore lolwut, no joke?

[Samiiigrl]

Samantha thank you for these videos they are very helpful I am an instructor also and am always looking for new people to learn from :)

[SakuraPchan]

Everything she teaches is the Red cross standard. Any where you go- its the same thing. Cause most lessons in the US are Redcross standard. And even international too.

[dmandavis]

my friend was so funny he thought she could float forever so she black floats then takes a nap and nice thing u no shawty got low,low,low,and wakes up after me and my friends got her to the surface

[Cooling23]

[lolli414]

[dlsiluk]

I am Rosa's husband, and I've invested $2000 into her swimming lessons, in the past six-years (with an Olympic teacher in Minnesota), and now she in a new one in Peru, and with only a local instructor, but she has started watching your program and I thank you for her, because she is less fearful of the water now, and she can now float on her back, after seeing your backstroke (a little miracle), and I hope in a month, the $2000 and your video, and her new teacher pays off.
