Swimming

Get familiar with the pool and its rules.

Make sure to check the depth of the water and the pool's designated swimming areas.

Start by getting used to being in the water.

You can do this by blowing bubbles, submerging your face, or floating on your back.

Learn the basic strokes, the four basic strokes are the freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Start with the freestyle stroke, also known as the crawl stroke, which is the most common and easiest to learn.

Begin by floating on your stomach and kicking your legs while reaching forward with your arms to propel yourself through the water.

Keep your head down in the water, looking at the bottom of the pool.

Alternate your arm strokes, breathing in through your mouth and out through your nose.

Practice kicking your legs, keeping them straight and together.

Keep your body in a streamlined position and avoid lifting your head too high out of the water.

As you become more comfortable, try swimming for longer distances and experimenting with different strokes.
