 Hi, how are you today? I'm good. Thank you. So today is your first lesson to learn how to be comfortable in the water So on the phone you tell me that you are not so comfortable. You are afraid of going your face in the water Yes, and last time your friend throw you in the pool and what happens? I drank some water, well a lot of it. You drank some water a lot of it And now you want to learn how to swim comfortable to avoid this kind of trouble. Yes, eventually Okay, so to learn to swim very simple. There is two steps Step number one is to be able to control your breathing with your mouth, exhale and inhale and be able to be relaxed Underwater, so let's practice where it's shallow right here. It's very simple. You touch the ground. You can sit on the side Okay, the first things I would like you to do is to be able to blow five second bubbles With your mouth underwater. Is it something scary for you? Okay, then in this case wait, I get the mask here You can use the mask if you want. Yeah, so what I do I fill up the mask with water and you blow bubbles in the mask Okay, five second. Okay Yeah, just blow your bubbles inside the mask one two three four five Okay, you can blow like this like you want to drink it, but you blow Okay, make sure there is a sound Okay Yeah Five that's it after five second you want to breathe again because if you stay underwater you're gonna drink water Okay, so let's do it easy you try now to do the same with your mouth on the contact of the water Same things take a big breath And five second bubbles one two three That's true. That's three seconds. It's okay. It's the beginning. Don't worry about it. Yeah, we try one more time relax big breath and blow one two three four five, that's it Something is not comfortable. Yeah, I think not used to it Okay, the water splashing your face when you do the bubbles a little bit That's completely normal the water going close to your nose here. It's completely normal, too You just don't want to drink the water. Okay, so by doing this you make sure then you can Blow your bubbles even your nose touch the water is still still fine You never inhale underwater if you do in the water then it goes in your mouth or it goes in your nose Then you got trouble you just exhale when you're done excelling you get out the water Let's try one more time Three four five, that's it Relax your nose is fine. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Now. Let's let's go over there. You can touch with your hands the The stairs here the step All right, you feel more comfortable Okay, I think it's the water to my nose. I'm not comfortable. Yeah for everybody's the same So if we get the water in the nose as I said That's always the problem. So just make sure when the when your nose goes in the water You don't inhale Even you submerge completely your face. You will not go in the in the nose unless you want to bring Air inside you. Yes. Okay One more time Five that's it. Okay, you're good. You're good. Let's protect your eyes with the gargle. Okay So that's kid size next time you must bring your own gargle This is for three years old kid, but it still fits your face Still okay. Okay. Look You can be here What I want you to do is you do the same and accept the water to touch the level of your nose Accept your nose to be in the water without drinking the water. So we will not splash actually your nose will be Even your eyes can be in the water, but we'll do it first your nose. Okay Into the water, but not really the water. Yes, just blowing bubbles with your mouth Here we go Relax, it's super simple. Just take it slowly one two three That was three second. Don't raise all good. We take the time you need Just make sure you take a big breath And blow one two three four go out. Yeah That's it Was it into the water or it was just touch? No, it's not in the water. It's just a little bit You will go more deeper and deeper slowly you will get used to it I can see you don't like the the feeling of being in the water now. So it's all good. Okay We try one more time. We try to go deeper with your nose touching the water You can listen my instruction, right? Yeah, so then I will tell you when it's good Same things before you go take a big breath And then in the water One two three Get out. Okay, your nose is that That's from the water. You can go this deeper and then you will touch the water of your nose You mean I'm that far from water. Yes, the water touch your nose because it splashes But your nose is not at the water level is this above Okay, you can go deeper. Don't worry. Just get used to it. It's all good You can actually go completely underwater and then start to blow the bubble right and do the bubbles the same It's just you're not used to it. Okay Just go deeper and One two three Relax, that was good. Listen. Listen, your nose gets in the water But you're a bit messed up your bubbles you you start to you blocked the breathing. It's like this big breath in and That's it. Okay One two three get out. Listen. It's all good. Your nose is inside, but don't Don't block your breathing don't By sack you're not by sequences and don't stop like and block it's out It's continue. Okay, if you block The reflex the next reflex is to breathe in if you're in the water when you breathe in then the water go inside you That's that's where it is painful. Okay, it will never happen if you blow continuously It's good. You're progressing Slowly, we will decide at the end of the day. Let's go That was forced again, it's okay first again is okay You're okay I think the panic comes Don't oh, yeah, I need to tell you I do have panic attack. So what happens to calm down? Okay, I'll take up breathe Outside just relax. It's okay. We take the time you need we can speak we can just be stand up if you want Okay, it's all good. That was good. You want me to show you it helps you if I show you Quite funny. Okay, you can yeah, I can't okay Normal just just hold it Okay, you just get me in the in the target. So basically We are here You have to submerge your nose. So take a big breath with your mouth and Out you know what we can do it without the The goggles the goggles and if you go deeper it splashes less You know, there is many splash and that feeling comfortable on your face. Look That's flashy. Now you go deeper No more splash, okay, so just It's like blowing a candle. All right, okay, just And go deeper deeper deeper Okay, if you prefer the goggles to avoid the splash near to your eyes, I can give it to you If you prefer, okay, maybe you can go a bit further. I will go this angle Okay, let's go slowly that's very good. Okay, look this the deep you go You go deeper now. Yeah, which is very good, but You block a bit your breath. Just stop. Yeah. Yeah, just let go the hair out from your chest out from your mouth Okay And if you want you can blow from your nose if you prefer blow from your nose you walks as well So you have two way of blowing out you blow out from your mouth You blow out from your nose both works perfectly fine You choose the one you prefer but never breathe in from the nose. Yeah, okay Let's try Okay big breath One two, three, four, yeah, you block. It's okay. You you You are a bit scared and stressed on this exercise. So blocking is a stress reaction We want to make sure you've got more relaxed by letting go if you control if you block it then it's a stress Just let go. We just do this. We do nothing more listen Yeah, okay Blow on my hand Awesome, that's what you do in the water same things you don't block it. You can start from outside if you want Go inside go back outside, but never stop. Okay. Okay. All right Very good. That's it. That was perfect high five. It's a big victory. That's it. That's it You don't stop the bubbles. I saw bubbles start from outside go deeper deeper deeper never stop get out Okay, okay. I count for you. You just do this and relax One two, three, that was two seconds. It's still okay. We try again. Remember, okay There is another tip you can blow with music in your head like That's a music you can sing it in your head and by blowing it with your mouth one two three four five Okay You want to try outside first? I will try and then I'll do outside. Okay I do my counting. Okay When you're ready you go one two three four five Much better much better in the water. Almost. It's very close I mean your nose was that close which is but he was good in terms of bubbles So when you got the bubbles rhythmic correctly just go deeper and deeper, but learn how to be more relaxed. Okay one more time One two three four out then you did it. You just did it very good. Nice job Congratulations. I need to calm down and concentrate. It's all about it. If you want to learn how to swim You need to be relaxed point one Remove the fear outside your body by blowing bubbles every time you blow bubbles you remove the fear if you hold it You keep the fear inside you. Okay, just try it one more time. That's actually perfect If you want like I can hold your hands. Okay One two three Go out. I stopped halfway. Yeah, I know it's fine. It's fine. Just let just get used to it Do the blowing correctly for five seconds and then we will go deeper and deeper when this is fixed. Okay? one step at a time One two three go out how you feel Okay, good job. Yeah, it was I will try to get you the camera from underwater So you can see if your nose is inside the water because I will put a camera underwater. Okay. No, it's okay If you have water in your nose, yeah, what might happen even you don't breathe in it happens sometimes and just exhale From your nose sneeze, you know sort of and you can blow bubbles from your nose, which is actually what I prefer I prefer More than yeah, I prefer the nose because it makes your nose completely clear But then you will smell the chlorine, right? No, you don't if you exhale you don't smell You smell if you do this But if you you don't smell you put the air outside Could I exhale from nose and mouth? Yes, you can do both You don't blow blow blow don't block. I think not the nose. I'll blow with the mouth Okay, blow with the mouth you will learn the nose later on but don't don't block you just block that that's when you stress more Okay. All right, definitely. It's good. I want two three go out Good job You're not dizzy, right? No, you feel okay because if you keep doing this for many many times It can happen then you are feeling a bit like her dizzy. So make sure you No, no, no need to go faster. Just take it at your rhythm. No stress Out excellent. Hey, this is very good. Good. Yes. You want to do only with your mouth It works you want to do with your nose. We can try again. How do you want? I think I have a mixture Okay, let's try One two, three, that's three seconds. Relax. Relax. The nose makes you a bit too much information One at a time. One at a time. Okay. Keep the mouth And five seconds You can even do more than five seconds actually if you feel very comfortable you can do Ten seconds, but five is a very good average But don't do less. Less means you don't blow long time enough. Okay One two, three, four, five, six, seven Seven seconds. Well done. How do you feel? In the water That's what you just did. Okay. I was counting. Good. You can do more than five as I said seven works Okay, progressing. Yes One two, three That was three. Relax. All good. No stress every time you fail or you have another try Just take the time to clear your mind One two, three, four, five, six, seven Okay, that's it. Five is good average. You don't have to push more. So that's five in the water with the nose Yes. Okay. Well done. So Five One two, three, go out. Okay. That the music in your head for beginners makes a big difference Because you reassure you it tells you then you are at a good time or not Now we're gonna do your goggles on your eyes Same things But you will try to look in the water So what happens is you will do it face flat on the water blowing your bubbles Okay But don't inhale from your nose If not the water will go inside your nose and that's not what you want You want the water to be Not going inside you. Okay. That's why we blow bubbles Okay, give it to you So is there something that you can Cover your nose like you Yeah, yeah, you can you can actually mask cover your nose You know when you wear a mask and not goggle, he covers your nose and your eyes in one block That's why your nose is protected. Some people really stuck with the nose Is it better with the mask? Actually, it's not better, but that's a tips That's a trick we can use to make you move forward the step And then eventually in the future remove the mask But it's not good to do only mask because you must be able Yeah to blow from your mouth and from your nose You must be able to put your nose on the water without being panicked People who learn only with the mask if they don't have a mask they cannot do and that is not good Okay So while you do you can Stand more high. I think just stand up eventually stand up Stand up and lean forward to put your your face flat under water Just stand up like this stand up really stand up. You stand up and you go down like this Slowly tip over though. Okay slowly because panic will no no no you hold you hold it you hold it There you go And you go slowly try to look under water when you do your bubbles Big breath before you go One two three get out. Well done. Hey, this is super good. Are you okay? Was I in water? Of course you look you look with your eyes, right? Your eyes in the water if your eyes are in the water everything is in the water because it's the highest point Okay, so it's good. You do bubbles and you look under water. You're perfect. Hey one more time. That was good I want to record this one because Why I need it to be still so I could see it Yeah, you can see everything under water Take a breath from your mouth And blow your bubbles when you're ready And go one two three four five get out. Well done. Hey, how you feel? great Cool, that's a good victory and when you start to under water look with your eyes That's where everything become more cool because you can see what's going on in there But because it's still so I feel great Excellent. Let's go again. I can show you I will count on the water of my hands I will show you my fingers moving under water. You can look at them. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's try Okay, so Super good Hey, actually definitely for where you start from. Yeah, it's good Great. This is good to know. Let's do it here again The more you can do that the more we can go deeper as soon as you can go completely under water You will float alone Okay, then I'll tell you the next step. What is the fear? Step by step? Yes, step by step. That's the step one Learn how to blow bubbles under water All right To practice as much as you need Do it many times until it's fine and the more you're comfortable the more you can go deeper. Okay? Everything is super safe here. You can touch the ground everywhere. Yeah Let's go Halfway through I think second two Not perfect. Yes Okay If if you need to get out earlier, you just get out. Okay. Yeah, you just follow your own piece After you try to go forward more, but when you don't feel comfortable, don't stick. Just get out and restart. Okay All right, when you're ready If you can go deeper just go deeper Like you can put all your head under water The idea in the future is to put your ears under water as well That's the thing that I feel of blocking the ear. Don't worry. You can remove the water from the ears very easily There is tips for it. I can teach you the tips. You want to try to go a bit deeper Don't go then go don't go completely in one time. Just go step by step deeper. Okay You feel your ears in the water. Just put it under water. Don't worry. It's all okay I try the face that bit more so much. Yeah first Okay, not really progressing but it's okay. You go deeper I mean you start with not capacity to do bubbles with your mouth and now we are face underwater That's good deeper. We can try to go the head under water right today. That would be awesome You have only half of your face so far. You have the face Let's try a couple more times with the face. Yes, and then I could try deeper. Yes. Yeah, let's go That's why I'm saying when you don't feel good. Just get out take a break. We do again It's a step by step thing Everybody has their own speed. Some people they get it in five minutes. They can do it And they can swim and you're like ah Some others takes years because it's it's accumulation of fear and and psychology, you know, like Walls you put yeah, so I'm like just go at your own piece. Okay. Okay again. Yeah, it's okay You go as many times than you need It's pretty good. Let's try. Of course That was very good. You put your face until half over there I can see all your eyes your face and stuff remove the goggles. Okay. Relax. Remove your goggles first Remove it because I need to breathe. Yeah, just remove it. Put it on your head. All good We're gonna have a break with the video for today I will keep the video recording for the next sessions to see how fast you can progress That for today, I think it's it's a good step. We will stick on this skill Okay, all right, because if you overpushed There is a reason you also do a mistake and by doing a mistake I might withdraw You got regression because you don't want to do again the bad experience Usually the mistake is drinking water or having water in your nose, which is not what we want. Okay. Okay That was excellent Daphne. Thank you Frenchies We're on the way. Okay. See you again
