 Hi guys, this is Christian from Swim2Fly.com Today we're gonna run out to tread water and to stabilize your body on the surface. Many people are asking for this video since many months So I'm gonna make it. So remember before you start to tread water Go where it's comfortable, where it's shallow. You don't need to go as deep. No pressure It's very easy and remember every time you move in the water you have the opposite action from the water For example, if I push my hand this way I will have the water pushing my hand this way so means my body will move the other way If I push my hand down, my body will go ahead. If I push my hands up, my body will go down If I push on the right, I will move on the left. If I push on the left, I will move on the right It's always reaction. You have to use your hand to feel the power of the water inside your hands The first thing is to learn how to feel the power of the water in your hand Start to feel. For example, I fall forward. I want to move back. I will push And then I move. I fall behind. I will pull the water so you don't fall. Try to feel it. I'm here. I fall Pull and you will come back. You fall forward Push behind. Okay You push, you move this way. You pull, you move this way. You press down, you move up And vice versa. All right So when you tread water, you can do it only with your legs, with your hands first. Sorry You don't even need your legs So imagine you are sitting in the water, put the head close to the water. You need to go high It's very hard to tread water when you have the water above your chest here Just very close to your neck is fine and avoid to have big movement like this. Stabilize your body You're here. Start to use your hand in the water one by one You press the water and your legs just imagine you're Biking inside the water, sitting or biking. Don't move your legs much. I'm just using my hand Maintain your head outside the water on the surface of the water Try to target my face. You can feel the camera. All right. Look at my legs a little bit I'm just moving with my legs My hands are stabilizing. So basically the movement is just one by one, one by one Now you can use your legs as well So if you want to use your legs It's very simple It looks like a braised stroke kick. You can use the braised stroke kick You know the frog kick where I'm like this. I kick on the side and I float. That's a braised stroke kick, right? But for the trading water, you can do it one after one After one after one. Instead of double kick Do one by one Actually the both option works. You can do double kick or you can do one by one, but the one by one is usually more effective So let's see how it looks like. I'm in the water. Stabilize myself touching the ground Use my hand and start to kick one by one with your feet pushing the water Sit in the water and push one by one As you can see My hands are moving to stabilize myself and I push one by one. You can stay like this many many many times Or for these people they prefer the braised stroke kick. It's more tiring, but you can also try double kick together And then you maintain, okay? So your legs are pushing down Your hands are stabilizing on the side and your head stays above the surface Near to the water, okay? The more you go up the more it is hard to maintain your body outside Accept to be close to the water. They will be very easy Make a try and let us know your feedback. Thank you
