of people will land on their bellies following this tutorial but fair enough, if that's what it takes them to take the plunge (pardon the pun). Real mindset trick here is "throw your hands in the water like a basketball player would throw a ball while doing a jump shot, that is, in an elliptical trajectory. Make sure your body follows the trajectory by simply extending fully your arms and legs after the 'jump shot''" if it doesn't feel daunting and scary at first, you've got the wrong idea. Your whole body will be thrown by that leg jump shot, but don't worry, the water will not hurt you even if you land flat on your face or belly, and if the pool is deeper than 1m 70 you won't be able to hit the bottom even if you tried. Also, I can guarantee you will only fail 3 times tops (or you can have your money back) and even when you do, the next dive will always be 278.9 % better than the previous, each time, so keep trying. Last but not least, goggles may come off but that doesn't mean they need to be tighter, just try looking at your hands (tilt head up) if that happens.

He’s doing it wrong. You have to bend your knees, look down and for the hands do like what he did. For the feet bend your left feet on the cliff of the pool and bend the right feet however you like then put force on the left feet and just swim.

I Landed on my belly and that hurts so bad but dude i won't stop until i succeed

[spacealien]

Don’t do this, instead you should lower your head until your chin touches your body then put one foot back put your other foot’s toes over the edge bend your knees then launch yourself forward with your back leg. Make sure your head stays down the entire time if it raises you will belly flop. Btw keep a streamline it helps.

Bruh he didn’t dive he definitely belly flopped 🤣🤣

[Kenziebenzieeee]

It's easier to start sitting down and after that, you can move on to a kneeling position. Once you've mastered both of those you can move on to standing up. The main problem with a lot of beginners is that they aren't kicking their legs up enough to go head-first. It's easier said than done, and I only started competitive swimming last year, so that would be bad if this can't help anybody.

I learned to dive in 3 tries from this video, brilliant! Thanks :)

[galaxylightyt]

I did it first try from this video thanks

[genesis_videos]

I tried this cuz my swimming teacher told me to bc “it’s easy” but guess who got slapped in the face with water and had back pain 😐

[BuilderMPG]

I self taught myself how to dive in the pool

[robloxvideos]

Also tuck your chin too! And always push off as far, and as hard as you can.

[marshal]

Deep dives can be dangerous 😅, but are sometimes necessary, at the right time, in the right place though.

[inordinatesigma]

when I learned to dive I was told to have my hands in stream line and them lean over to were I can just touch the water with the tips of my fingers and just fall in

[maqsoodabegum]

I HAVE THE POWER 14K TO 15K anyways nice teaching❤

[irzncol]

Instruction clear, now, How do I swim?

[jaydenlee]

I landed on my belly trying to dive in a pool for the first time

[BannanaSplit]

I want to quit swimming but I don’t know how to tell my parents any advise

[GoooseYT]

To all those belly flopping it’s probably because you aren’t arching your body it should be a nice cute and not straight in
