How do people who swim stay afloat in deep waters?


i've been learning how to swim by myself, and im doing well so far, because i can swim across deep parts and not drown (lol). what im wondering is, i see a lot of people go to deep ends and just stay there...how do they not drown? I'm sure they are doing something with their legs but i can't see, i only see their bodies and necks and arms but they aren't really doing anything with it. thanks!

It is kind of hard to explain. If you just relax, you can almost float without doing anything. I lay on my back in the water and float around and watch the birds and clouds. It is very theraputic. If you feel yourself sinking, all you have to do is breath in deeply[ it will bring you right back up] and kick your legs a bit. I think being relaxed and not thinking about how deep the water is under you is the key. Good luck!

They kick their legs. Like a scissor kick. Kinda hard to describe. Better to watch and have someone teach you. Do you know how to tread water? Just do that, some people can do it without using their hands.

You can float it you keep your lungs inflated. As you exhale quickly, breath in before you sink. Do this repeatedly.

it is possible to float without swimming at all.

over here in holland, we actually teach children to float before we teach them to swim.

you ccan try this in the undeep first:
just lay on your back in the water, arms stretched out wide, and breathe in deeply. (keep your head i the water up to your ears). youll find that youll just float there.

once youve mastered that, you can try the same turned upwards, in deeper water, you can just move your arms and legs about to stay upright, (swimming upright)
