How to Float When Swimming Freestyle
I am learning how to swim. Please give me some tips on how to float when swimming freestyle and how to kick my legs in water.
Floating whilst swimming freestyle comes with having a relaxed and smooth swimming technique. Your ability to float is a characteristic of your body and is dictated by your body composition.
Some people float and some do not. That is not to say you will never float. If your body is efficient through the water, then floating is easy.
The power and drive for freestyle comes from the arms and the legs kick to balance the stroke. They provide a small amount of propulsion and more information on how the legs kick in freestyle can be found by clicking here.
Learn to relax as you swim and remember to feel your way through the water and not fight your way. A relaxed smooth stroke is always more efficient.
