How long will it take me to tread water?

Question

how long will it take me to learn to tread water

Answer 1

its almost natural, u should pick it up very fast

Answer 2

Just a few minutes. to do egg beater is a lot easier then doing breast stroke. At first you may only be able to do it for a little while but after a while it becomes easier then just floating. Learning takes no time at all.

Answer 3

Dont worry about it you'll do just fine!!

kk you'll learn fast dont be scared!!! ;p

Answer 4

1 minute. It's a natural response to keep your head above water. Can you do the breast stroke (the "frog")? If you can do the breast stroke, then you can tread water. Treading water is basically doing the breast stroke kick vertically instead of horizontally.

Answer 5

not long. it's very easy and you get the hang of it very quickly !

Answer 6

If you work at it probably less then an hour. When I first learned it I had a problem with it, but in thirty minutes or so it was easier than pie. If you want some suggestions here;

Have someone supervise so you don't drown.

Kick your legs back and forth while moving your arms in a semicircluar motion above water, hope that helps

Answer 7

Instantly.

It's basically doggy paddle or riding a bicycle underwater.

It's easier than learning to swim or learn a new stroke.

Answer 8

not very long youll learn quick

Answer 9

not long its actually easier than swimming
