i want to teach my friend how to swim but she is very timid. can anyone give me any tips on how to encourage her to like the water more and trust herself? also any technics that are important for beginers to know?
Take her to a really shallow pool. This way, she can feel comfortable just walking around in the water. Later, you can teach her how to actually stroke. Very important lesson, holding breath.
Well if she wants to learn shes going to have to opened up. Confidence has a lot to do with learning. In my sons class there telling them to practice holding there breath under water in the tub, and to blow bubbles. I think that's always good for beginners. Good luck.:)
learning how to swim could save her life one day.
