How To Float on Your Back Without Snorting Water

#howtoswim #beginnerswimming In this video, I share my journey of learning to float on my back without the frustrating issue of water getting into my nose, a common challenge for beginners or those with a fear of water.

I demonstrate the exact techniques that helped me overcome my struggles, including how to gently lean back into the water, lift your chin, and use core muscles and gentle kicks to stay afloat. You’ll see me switch between leg movements and relaxed positions, like forming a star shape or resting my hands behind my head.

I also cover how to safely regain a standing position and address the fear of water in your nose by using tools like a nose clip or snorkel mask to build confidence. Plus, I offer tips for dealing with water in your ears using earplugs.

This video is packed with practical advice and encouragement to help you master back floating, boost your confidence in the water, and set the foundation for learning other swimming strokes. Join me to discover how practice and small adjustments can make floating effortless and fun!
