What are the best ways to become a better swimmer?

 Swimming is like learning to ride your bike for the first time. You start with stabilisers (or a kick board),to gain balance, and after a few falls later, you master it. Once you learn to ride a bike it’s almost impossible to forget how to do it. Swimming is pretty much the same- I would say it’s even easier than learning to ride a bike. It won't be difficult as long as you master these steps: Learn how to float on your back. Go to the shallowest end of the pool and slowly relax your body- keep looking up at the ceiling/sky above. This isn’t necessarily hard and you can master it pretty quickly as long as you remain calm. Once you are comfortable floating, you can now try backstroke. It sounds difficult but trust me it is the easiest of all strokes. All you do is kick your feet, to begin with, keeping your belly pointing upwards. When you can do this comfortably, start using your arms. Bring one arm back, hands pinky side down, and stroke- repeat with the other arm. That’s it! Wi
