Teaching adult to swim?

Question

I am trying to teach my friend who is 20 to swim but I am unsure where to start with him, if someone has any tips or tricks for me that would be great

Answer 1

start with the basics, doggy paddle, floating on your back, stuff like that. you have to be comfortable in the water before you can do anything. make sure your friend is motivated and not scared! if the water knows you are scared, no good will come out of it, lol. start of slow and gradually teach your friend the free style stroke and so on. good luck!
