How To Tread Water<\/h1>\n

Did you know that the world record for treading water is 85 hours? That\u2019s about 3.5 days and was set by a 19-year-old in 1997.<\/p>\n

Being able to tread water makes you feel more confident \u2013 and lets you stop mid-swim to get your bearings and recover breath. Learning this basic swimming technique will also allow you to get a certificate in scuba diving. See how to tread water here\u2026<\/p>\n

The Basics<\/h2>\n

How to float in water vertically is achieved by using both your arms and legs with your body in an upright position. Keep your head above the water and breathe slowly \u2013 this helps conserve energy and lets you tread water for longer.<\/p>\n

Move your arms backwards and forwards with hands closed. And move your legs in a circle \u2013 or kick back and forth with your feet pointing down. You can rest from paddling by lying on your back and gently sculling.<\/p>\n
