How To Overcome Fear Of Swimming & Get Your Head Underwater The Biggest Challenge
Figuring out how to overcome the fear of swimming & get your head underwater is probably the single biggest challenge that a new swimming student will face. |
| Now It's Safe |
All the years that have been spent, especially with adults but also with babies with yourself or others saying "Don't do that" or "You can't do that" have set a barrier up that has to be overcome before you get your head underwater.
Because you can't learn to Swim safely unless you do. Yes, it is possible to learn to swim without putting your head underwater but you will never be safe in the water unless you know that you are not going to panic if you do.
Besides, why make your life difficult? Learning to swim with your head out of the water is the hardest way to learn to swim. You have got enough challenges ahead of yourself without putting another one in front of you.
There is no way around it. You have to Conquer Your Fear Of Water and get your head underwater if you are going to learn to swim.

Explaining The Video Below
Here is a video that I think is great in explaining the technique of trying to get your head underwater.
The only thing about it is that you will see the student using goggles in the process. I will allow students to wear goggles when they are starting to get their heads underwater, but only if there is no other way to get them under. My problem is that if a student becomes dependent on goggles then if they fall in the water they panic because they are getting their eyes wet.
I would prefer swimming students to be comfortable with getting their heads wet before they start to wear goggles. Otherwise, this is a great video.
