i still can't tread water properly, can't keep my head above water all the time even though i know how to swim breaststroke and freestyle. due to this i dare not swim in the middle lane of olympic sized pool which has deep part. any tips to train for water treading? tongue.gif

1st time try out 50m pool.
Finish 4lap only ( go n back) 400m in 40min swimming.
Drag to long becz every 50m I stop n rest

But quite happy becz able to finish my freestyle without stopping in the middle for 50m..

I tot I was doing great but I check online it seem I have done terrible. Lol

How much time does one ppl normally finish a 50m ?
*
50m below 2 min usually i guess. I'm still not that fast only finish 1km under 45 mins.

some newbie question.

is there any drill to minimize the flutter kick for freestyle?

Been stuck with 25m freestyle for 3 months now, mainly due to leg become tired after kicking more than 6 times per stroke. Reason for doing so was to keep afloat.

The kicks tempo is increasing past few months and always need to stop at 25m 30m to rest a while...

Maybe you can try using pull buoy to keep ur legs float to get the feel first. By right you can float with just 2 kicks per stroke, maybe you bend your head up to breathe like in breaststroke instead of rotating ur head (and body a lil bit) sideways to face up and breathe. Breathing like breaststroke way will make ur legs sink.

Managed to swim once a few months ago, but then got rashes after that. Probably gonna avoid swimming pool till covid is really over.
