Learn to swim with lifeguard in different stages:
1. Fight your fear of water
The first step is to fight the fear of water, because for some people (especially adults), being in the aquatic environment can be scary.
Familiarization with water will be done gradually. We can move on to the next step when the student descends the ladder to go into the water without fear, and accepts being splashed.
2. Put your head under water
The second step is to put your head under water, blocking the breath. Little by little, the student will practice immersing himself completely, to find an object at the bottom of the water, for example.

3. Learn to float
The student learns to lie on the water, first on his back, then on his stomach. At first, we will place two noodles in foam under each arm, to keep the balance, which we will gradually remove so that it makes the plank .
4. Propel yourself through the water
Once the student manages to float , he will just have to practice propelling himself. The exercise consists of lying on your back, feet against the pool wall, and pushing yourself as far as possible. The same exercise can be done on the stomach.
5. Learn the movements of the different swimming strokes
After overcoming their fear of water , successfully submerging, floating and propelling themselves, the student is ready to learn the techniques of the different strokes! The ideal is to contact a lifeguard who is used to teaching these techniques, And you also have to take lifeguard classes and who will detect faults and prevent the swimmer from developing bad habits.
