We see water almost every day and it does not seem that scary. Are you someone who’s scared of water? I was too. Check out my video below
Water can be overwhelming and scary for some people. Fear of being in deep water and reaching the edge of a swimming pool or open water. This can create panic for beginner adult swimmers. The most common reason is that they fear drowning. Fear of not knowing how to swim, and being uncomfortable in deep water are others.
Beginner adult swimmers’ fears as a result of a lack of experience and self-confidence. When someone has had a bad experience with water and/or a lack of conditioning or coordination. They do not have the knowledge or skills to be confident in the water. The fear of the unknown, and having a bad first experience are others. Needing to relearn proper form after years of doing things wrong is another.
These could lead to fear when confronted with overwhelming situations. Such as finishing a timed swim, swimming in rough seas and swimming long distances. Some beginner adult swimmers are afraid of being out of control. They feel tight in the shoulders and neck. This inhibits their flexibility and ability to roll their shoulders. They may not be able to submerge their faces in water without panicking. Especially if they have little or no experience with breath control. The fear of water or put waders is a very common fear in the world. It can be a challenge for many adults since their bodies are not fit for swimming. One important factor that makes it hard for you to swim is your muscle strength and your lack of endurance. Beginner adult swim lessons’ goal is to help beginner adult swimmers overcome fears. They offer them a safe place to fall and progress toward the water at their own pace.
