What are some essential swimming techniques for beginners?

For beginners, it's important to focus on basic techniques like floating, kicking, and breathing. Would you like tips on any specific technique?

Yes, can you explain how to float properly?

To float, lie on your back with your arms and legs spread out. Keep your head in line with your spine and relax your body. Practice this in shallow water.

What about breathing techniques?

Breathing is crucial! Practice inhaling through your mouth when your head is out of the water and exhaling through your nose when your face is submerged.

How can I improve my kicking technique?

For kicking, keep your legs straight but not rigid. Use small, quick kicks from your hips, and try to keep your feet just below the surface.
