  • @Left4YoMomma I'm 20 and can sort of tread water. Not for a long time though. I was never actually taught how to until I joined the military. Even then they more or less just put you in the pool and said tread water.

  • For me, the flatter kick is the easiest.

  • Aww it's winter!!!!! :( I need to learn how to tread water...

  • @sodaholic12 Same. Plus no one ever explained how to do this. PLUS I never learned how to swim until AFTER I almost drowned a couple of times. That's my life.

  • I have swim class tomorow it's my second class and I am short. so I'll try this it looks pretty easy but idk it takes me a while to learn ! Great vid :D

  • Thx for the advice and vid but it's better to learn by doing thn just c'ing :)

  • @Left4YoMomma im on the same boat... no pun intended

  • @pagani8 Alot depends on your muscle mass skinny people actually have more muscle mass

  • now i finally no how 2 tred water :-)

  • Is it bad that im 17 and still can't do this?
