Blowing bubbles in water requires coordination of 3 sequence as shown:
1) Breathing In (Inhale until you cannot inhale anymore)
2) Hold
3) Blow out completely. (Exhale until you cannot exhale anymore)

Alot of us make mistake in the following:
1) Not breathing in enough air while swimming
2) Hold breathe while swimming... and not blowing out.
3) Blow out very little bubbles while swimming.

So practise your blowing bubbles in water and make it a natural response in your swimming then only you will find that swimming is a pleasure and not a pressure.

Those interested to learn swimming can email me or visit my website at

Catch you up again and have a great day.

interesting thread.
see that lots of people would like to swim but always got technique problems.

just wanna ask, most of you guys are self learnt or took lessons before?
coz i think it makes a lot of difference.

for me, i took lessons from a very young age and learnt all the stroke then.
but too bad, i really got no idea how to give advise to you guys. coz for me, the stokes came to me like 2nd nature. hence i dunno how to put to words to describe to u all.

After you have practise on your breathing technique in swimming, we can try focusing on our body position in the water. First we need to lock our spine (Straighten our back) and shoulder bring behind (Chest out). Then hand straighten, locked elbow. Perform a prone gliding while maintaining this position. This base position is important for any stroke you doing. Be it front crawl, breast stroke or fly. We will come to a point that this base position is all that we need.

Stay tune for more update.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reminder.

Oh yes... 13th Feb (Sat), all public pool will close by 5pm and will reopen on 15th Feb (Mon). So please do not visit the pool on valentine as the pool will be closed.

Back to swimming tips.

Having attain the proper body position, straight and leg together tip toe while in prone gliding, we can start some flutter kick or frog kick (Breast stroke kick)

Some variation you can do for flutter kicking or frog kick.
1) Stand Up to breathe in
2) Prone gliding followed by 10 flutter kicking while blowing bubbles.
3) Go to step 1.

Second vairation:
1) Stand up to breathe in
2) Prone gliding followed by 2 or 3 frog kicking while blowing bubbles
3) Go to step 1.

So enjoy the art of swimming. Is kind of fun when you realise you can fly in water.

did some search online about the total immersion, seems like a good start

where can i get the book? and the TI site shows a few books, so which did you get?

Yxy · Feb 18, 2010

the library has the book and a lot of the videos as well...

nyquist2000 · Feb 18, 2010

Total Immersion or simply TI for short making use of weight shifting and body rotation to propel you forward. You will realise you need not have to kick alot during the process. This method work best in swimming pool, quiet lake or river but will not work well for stormy sea or choppy wave.

Yxy · Feb 18, 2010

yah, i dun really kick one...just twist the body can liao

cutiepie23 · Feb 18, 2010
