Many of those who for some reason did not learn swimming in childhood, put up a cross, believing that swimming is not for them. Such people are easy to recognize on any beach - they just go into the water around the neck and stand in the water, flop with each other or try to move along the shore. However, even initial training in swimming can give rest on the water an unprecedented variety!

If you do not know how to stay on the water, it is unlikely that in 3-5 sessions you will have time to overcome your fears and master the correct implementation of any kind of technology. That is why it is important to immediately adjust to the fact that with regular sessions 2-3 times a week, you will leave at least 1-2 months. But after this time you not only learn to stay on the water or swim "dog-like", but also master one or both of the basic techniques of swimming - a crawl or breaststroke.
Of course, this period may vary based on your athletic training, your readiness to fight your fears (it's no secret that inability to swim always comes from fear of water - you can drown). You can assume that you have learned to swim only if you are no longer frightened by the lack of a bottom under your feet, the side of the pool by the hand and various swimming means nearby. The best part is that after training you will master the really correct technique of swimming.
Swimming pool: swimming training for professionals
If you want not only to stay on the water somehow, swim on your back and "dog-like," you should enroll in special courses in the pool, where you will be offered exercises for swimming training. Currently, experts are still arguing about what style it is necessary to teach to swim initially - the crawl (similar to how people swim "on the fly") or breaststroke (the technique is similar to how to swim "in a frog" or " marine "). Usually, each instructor solves this issue in his own way.
Some believe that the need to keep an extra swimming device makes it more convenient to learn how to swim with a crawl - because hands are released alternately and an inflatable device can be thrown. Others remind of the existence of belts for swimming training and practice breaststroke training. In any case, the method of learning to swim usually involves learning in due course each of these basic styles.
In this sense, individual swimming training is especially good, when the instructor works directly with you. For many people who are embarrassed by their inability, this is the most preferred way of training. Moreover, the instructor will develop for you an individual swimming training program, and you can ask him to help you master the most desirable elements.
Independent methods of learning to swim
Of course, in addition, to turn to professionals and learn from them really correct swimming, which can protect your life and drive away fears, you can go the other way. Namely - learn to swim independently or with
First of all, you should get comfortable on the water and feel that it does not need to be afraid - it will always push you up. To do this, you can practice the exercise "barrel" - group, hold your breath, immerse yourself in the water and feel how water pushes you out. Next, it is already worthwhile mastering the simplest elements of rowing with hands and foot movements.
