When I was young, my mom signed me up for swim lessons. The teacher wanted to show the class how to do this ... using me as a model. Being around 6 years old, I wasn't that good at staying a float. I strongly believe that the teacher should've learned from this vid, because he just left me and I almost drowned. I dislike him to this very day.

@spirit241000 I teach swimming to kids about that age, and that's actually the way we do it.

If a swim teacher did that I think they would get fired.

If your the parent that would be ok.

I know how to swim.. It takes a while to learn sometimes so if your learning it can take a few days... When i learned to swim it took a few minutes if you know how to hold your breath for a long time you go underwater and you start floating then you just paddle with your feet and hands.. Hope this helped.. Btw im only 11 :)
