Here’s a
step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Get Comfortable in Water

●​ Start in shallow water where you can stand.


●​ Practice putting your face in the water and blowing bubbles.
●​ Learn to float on your back and front.

2. Learn Basic Floating & Kicking

●​ Hold onto the pool edge and practice kicking your legs.
●​ Try floating on your back by relaxing and spreading your arms and legs.

3. Learn to Tread Water

●​ Move your arms in circular motions (like egg-beaters).


●​ Keep your legs moving in a scissor or frog-like motion.

4. Practice Basic Strokes

●​ Freestyle (Front Crawl): Alternate arm strokes with flutter kicks while breathing to the
side.
●​ Backstroke: Float on your back, move your arms in a windmill motion, and kick gently.
●​ Breaststroke: Use a frog-like kick and push forward with your arms in a circular motion.
●​ Butterfly (Advanced): Move both arms together in a circular motion and kick like a
dolphin.

5. Learn to Breathe Properly

●​ Exhale underwater and inhale quickly when your face is above the surface.
●​ Coordinate your breathing with your strokes.

6. Build Confidence and Endurance

●​ Start in shallow water and gradually move deeper.


●​ Practice floating and treading water for longer periods.
●​ Swim short distances and gradually increase.
