Hey All! Newbie alert!

Hi All,

I came here through youtube. Coach Jeff and Coach Meredith are really professionals who can cater to adult swimming. In many pools I could see coaches just teaching strokes which may help very few adults. Whereas Jeff & Meredith teach comfort in water, which is how it should be taught to begin with. I have been in to just 15 or 16 hrs in swimming. I really wanted to learn swimming as a kid but my parents being conservative didn't allow me, due to the fear that I may become over confident one day and venture in to dangerous waters. They are loving and I accept their fear as loving parents. But this prevented me from getting rid of the fear of water. I enrolled myself in the month of august 2024 with my 10 years old son in the local swimming pool. There I found the coaches approach was not suitable for adults but only for kids. My son quickly learnt basic strokes but I was suffering with many things. Their way of teaching was not systematic but it was like trying to teach 5 years experience swimmer to improve on thier skills. That's when I thought of self learning with the basics I learnt in my classes. Till this day I might have seen 1000 videos, atleast, learning slowly things and trying out in the local pool. I can't access pool daily and only in weekends which in a way makes my progress slow down. However, I am trying to overcome these limitations and become a better swimmer every time I go to the local pool.

My current problem is I don't feel balanced in water when I start rotating my arms. I think this is because I coudn't roll on properly to the opposite side of my rotating arm. I am doing some core execrcise to strenghten my core and I try to stretch my legs and tighten my core while kicking, so that my legs don't go down while I am rotating my arms.

I am seeking expert support to overcome this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Kiruba
