Explanation - How to Swim

It is important that you know how to swim because you could drown any time you are around the sea, a river or just an ordinary pool. But if you do know how to swim, you can just swim away to land. It’s also good to swim because you’re exercising your body, and that can help you stay healthy.

This is what you have to know about your body position. First you have to get in the water. You have to make sure that when you lie down flat, your body is straight otherwise you won’t float. When you lie down in the water your head should be facing down and your chin should be near your chest. This is also known as the gliding position.

When doing freestyle, you reach with one arm, bend your elbow, then you bring down the arm that you’re reaching with down, and do the same with the other arm.

Once you’ve done that about three times, you turn your head and hips to the side to breathe and keep your ear on your shoulder. While your head is down you should be blowing out bubbles from your mouth.

Kicking is pretty easy, all you need to do is keep your legs together and straight. Then you just kick on the surface of the water, with flippy floppy feet.

Now that you know how to do freestyle I am 90% percent sure that you won’t drown in a pool that is too deep for you. You will also be very healthy and fit.
