My first & foremost motto - "Going with the Flow"
That is the key.
Water is liquid. It has no shape, not solid, can't be hold nor can it be hurt.
How do you overcome or control something that has this stated characteristic?
Of course, you go with the flow...
One major attitude that applies in all sports is RELAX...
The moment you relax, you get focus easier. This can be seen significantly in swimming. Because the water is 'flexible', our body needs to be flexible too.
Stage one - learning how to hold breath in the water without fear. Fear is the one & only obstacle that obstruct our learning. Imagine, one going for bungee jumping, yet fear of falling. How could it be?!!
Stage two - as soon as you know how to get into the water without someone to push you to, we learn how to breath in the water. As breathing assists ones a lot in later drills, a correct technique helps tremendously.
Stage three - floating. This is another big leap to determine whether one can become a swimmer or not. Believe it or not, ones that become swimmer finds it easy to master all these basic techniques. They have no fear. On the other hand, they find this enjoying!
Stage four - push & glide off the wall. You are almost ready to swim like a fish!!!
What contains in all these steps? FLEXIBILITY! And going with the flow... All the key words in this article.
I am very sure that other sports contains this magical, simple word...
All the best to whoever is learning new things out there!!!
