How can you teach yourself to thread water if you are scared of deep water? I can float, swim accross but will not do it if I know the water is deep.

Why would you need to get into deep water if you did not want too??? Other than that....lay on your back and float....all treading water is...is dog paddeling... I guess you could teach yourself by placing a dog in water and watching it swim....thats what you will be doing. Or watch it on YOU TUBE!

good for you that you want to learn. You're best bet is probably lessons. Maybe spend lots of time in the shallow end floating and swimming, then maybe you'll find yourself in the deep end?

well it is a little easier than flying... my guess is you will get confident after you can stay in the shallow end without touching the bottom for longer and longer periods of time

Treading in water isn't necessarily doggy paddling....All you have to do is kick your legs and push the water with your hands and arms. Definitely practice in the shallow end before attempting the deep end. But the key to swimming is to keep your legs moving CONSTANTLY. It helps you stay afloat!
