You may be wondering how do you swim? It is simple. First, get into the water. There is no need to be scared of the water. Take a deep breath and float on top of the water with your hands out at your sides. Your body should naturally be able to float. Next, still in your floating position, take a deep breath. Good. You have achieved how to float properly. The next step is to propel yourself forward. You can do this by bringing your arms beneath you and doing quick scooping motions, while kicking with your legs. You should now be moving using the method called the doggy paddle. Feel like you're going slow? That is okay. There are four strokes to master. Freestyle is the easiest one, requiring you to swing your arms and kick your legs as fast as you can. Backstroke is like freestyle, except on your back. Breaststroke can often feel slow, but is a beautiful stroke that utilizes gliding in the water. Butterfly is commonly the hardest stroke, and one that not many can do. Overall, swimming is simple and comes down to one thing: holding your breath.
