Learn to tread water in one day with perant teaching?

Question

Hey is it possible to learn how to tread water in like 2 hours with your perant teaching? also what about backstroke and doggy paddle

Answer 1

Tread water, doggy paddle, then float. It is important to learn to float. then get the extra strokes.

Answer 2

it matters how old you are. I've seen 15 year olds who've never swam before learn in like 5 mins. with a parent, you'll have in down pad in no time. of course you won't be a strong swimmer for a while, if you keep training you'll be off to beijing in to time :P

Answer 3

you can learn it, but you wont be proficient at it. i guess you mean your kid. it takes practice to get good. but where i learned a new stroke i would have had it down byt he end of the day, and if i practiced, i would have it mastered by the end of the week. granted i was 5 and under when i started learning strokes.
