Go to a swimming pool and learn slowly.

Learn how to go underwater. Go up and go down while holding your breath in the water (don't swim yet).

Next, hold on the bar at the side and flip your legs.

Next, go to somewhere in the middle (make sure not a deep pool) and learn to swim to the side bar. Learn the frog style first. Position yourself like a frog and swim....

Next, go deeper into the middle and do it again.

Next, learn various swimming styles...

Do it everyday, then you will learn naturally how to float naturally, and how to swim naturally.

Shortcut = go sign up for a professional swimming lesson.

I 29 and I cant swim also.. I cant even float..
Where to learn?

this....

I can swim but failed floating in shallow pool but can float in 5M pool.

They have one course near the pool by my parent's house. I was thinking of signing up for that too, how much is it and for how long?

Put a crocodile behind you like the aussies. You will go fast brudder...

or get a leng lui swim in front of you... sure catch up very fast one. Just korek korek the water kuat kuat will do. aha..

after 3 days in the pool or at sea, surely u will float one.

I can swim but then when i stop swimmin i sink. i cant float. HAHA.

well for a leng lui motivation should have some with a bouncy feature

Enroll yourself in a swimming class. There are lots offering this training..

Sure u can learn. Its not too late to learn how to swim. U can get a professional coach from the swimming club u joined if the have 1. Can ask the swimming club whether they have a coach or teacher to teach u swim. I learned from a coach in a swimming club

we should organise a group learning class and teach by leng lui instructor

im 24 and i dont know how to swim too and I have the same problem,

can do freestyle but lack the skills to breathe but im slowly overcoming that problem, the solution

KEEP practicing swimming does build stamina hence it's just a matter of time.

As for those who totally dont know how to swim, can always start by holding the side of the pool and kicking legs while timing your breathing which is crucial.

1 funny method i found out was to cross your legs and just bob up and down the water and learn how to breathe in rhythm works for me though it's not the professional way to do it

same problem I'm having.

I thought my dad when he was 45 - 47. No problem.

Just jump into the pool, with someone who can swim well of course and just go all out!!

You could check youtube for tutorial and practice more.
