[nahimisthebest]

You teaching kids to drown? First show them to swim.

[AnnKoffsky]

Hi. I am a lifeguard, and have been teaching kids to swim for 10 years now...If you are trying to encourage to dunk and be comfortable in the water you might like to check out my new story, "Noah's Swim-A-Thon"- (the trailer is on youtube )

You can get it at a library, too!

[shanedawsontvlove100]

[chloesvideosme]

[SuperCottoncandy16]

@chloesvideosme Heyy Thats what my problem was too! But i learned not with swimming lessons but alone and with my mom.My birthday was coming up and my mom had an idea t go to the beach.I didnt know how to swim so i was REALLY nervous! But then my mom would take me to the pool everyday in the summer for 2 weeks and i learned how to swim in just 2 weeks!

[DanOsborneMusic]

[ErwinListSanchez]

[Shyshypanda123]

[btdocdac]

beautiful instructor.. I wish to take some swimming lesson with u .. :)

[jrjeje]

i wish i could play the elevator game with her

[IshankPEOPLEonly]

i can go under water but only when i plug my nose how can i go under water without plugging my nose??? plz help!!!

[xoiheartyou]

@IshankPEOPLEonly When you go underwater, instead of plugging your nose, its harder, right ? So when you go underwater, BLOW YOUR BUBBLES ! Then when you run out of breath, bobb up and inhale and swim again while blowing your bubbles. Hope this helped [:

[IshankPEOPLEonly]

@xoiheartyou should i blow bubbles with my nose or mouth???

[xoiheartyou]

@IshankPEOPLEonly with you mouth, if you do with your nose, thats gonna hurt badly !! and then your gonna have trouble swimming

[IshankPEOPLEonly]

@xoiheartyou BUT WHEN I BLOW WITH MY MOUTH IT GOES IN MY NOSE

[xoiheartyou]

@IshankPEOPLEonly sorry for the late reply ! i was on vacation with no internet ! well, practice blowing bubbles, and hold yourr breath, the way you breathe while swimming is by blowing bubbles, then if you need a breath turn to your side and keep going [: if you need more help, inbox me, i`ll reply faster

[aishlingh25]

@IshankPEOPLEonly You blow out of your mouth and nose with light blows and when you need to breathe in you just roll your head to the side and keep going.

Do this every 3 strokes :)

Hope this helped :)

she is definitely a huge babe. i wish she taught me

[bad2dabristle]

- ii wish i could swim .. ) =| hey buht imma learn c[= .somedaii

[808lifeguard]

I think this is a good technique, it works for me. But I like to make the kids blow bubbles into the water, whatever works use it.

[SacredKitten99]

Say, I'm only 10 and that little girl swims better than me lolz, but whats exhale?? Is it like when you breathe underwater???

[katie12cutie]

sang that little girl is a better swimmer than i am lol

[prettybratable]

alyssa will be good in swimming at the other point she will be a good SWimmer SamDAY

[MeganJoy4Fans]

I went to a swimming class when I was like 6 or 7 and they NEVER taught me this. I think this is sorta pointless.

[lbcitezen]

OMG I hate instructors that teach this way its so annoying all they do is talk and the kid swims like a turd. You don't teach them to hold their breath, you supposed to teach them to exhale into the water.

[MsNaturalBeauty721]

Yes, that is exactly why I had trouble swimming , and I was scared to go underwater. Until I figured it out myself. No one ever told me to exhale into the water

[217daneify]

@MsNaturalBeauty721 lol

[diviawesome]

@MsNaturalBeauty721 What does exhale into the water mean? Like breath out in the water?

[pcskn]

COOL! my swimming teacher makes up a bob story and everytime he says bob i have to do a bob lol its like one day BOB went camping so BOB set up his tent but them BOB saw a bear so BOB jumped on the bears back BOB was scared up then the bear ran away from BOB and idk the rest of the story i forgot

[growler666ish]

[riotambopata]

Sorry, you (ooops! I mean u [dumbass!!]) lost me there: what does 'retared' mean? Does that mean that the person writing this is really clever because they can't write correctly? Oh - I get it, is this what they mean by post-modernist? Sorry - did I lose you there, sweetie?

[Zshawn]

spelled it wrong on person

SORRY next time I 'll clarify that

and not use so much sarcasm in my next comment
