How can I make it so I can't get so tired eggbeater-ing?

Question

It was my first day yesterday, but I could only go up to 30 seconds, and my coach says I should be able to do it FOREVER. I have the basics down and everything, but I'm getting killed during practice. Tips would be great.

Answer 1

practice gettin the technique down by sittin on the edge of the pool or just in a chair at home nd do it. eventually u should be able to sit in the water lik ur sittin in a chair with ur knees almost as high as ur hips nd eggbeat usin mainly ur lower legs, practice 'walking' fowards backwards and sideways as well.

good luck

Answer 2

When I first started playing I could barely swim 50 yards and I could eggbeater for about 1 minute and then I would sink.  All I can say is to practice, that is the only way to get better at it.  It gets a lot easier.  Now after only 4 months Im a goalie and I can eggbeater forever and I made the swim team.
