Keeping my head warm after swimming?

Why cant i keep my head up while swimming?

  • during summer vacation when i go to a pool i cant keep my head up while im swimming. is there any way to do so while im in 13 ft of water. ive dived dozens of times but my head always stays under water and also i need help treading water. i need to know these things so i can talk while swimming and also i can hold my breath for 5 minutes so its impossible for me to drown BEST ANSWER WILL GET 10 POINTS

  • Answer:

    Contrary to another reply, NEVER NEVER NEVER CUP YOUR HANDS when you swim. You are not trying to lift water out of the pool. Your hands should be FLAT so that you can press on the water with the largest surface as possible. Second, your head SHOULD be slightly down in the water when you swim as that flattens your body our. If, however, you have your head buried in the water, that is wrong and the only way to change it is to have someone watch you swimming and you must simply work on raising your head. The person watching (most people call that person COACH), should tell you where your head is and you'll need to make adjustments. To get an idea of how to tread water, go to YouTube and type in EGGBEATER kick ... or treading water. And ... your caveat of 10 points is insulting ... take them and put 'em where the sun don't shine. Finally, I seriously doubt you can hold your breath for 5 minutes and holding your breath has NOTHING to do with drowning so, you're fooling yourself on that issue.

First I hope that you are closing your fingers together and cupping your hands while swimming. Also if you need to push your head up you will need to push your hands down while swimming more. In other words while you are pulling the water past your body you are also pushing down somewhat. If you want to tread water the best way (the water polo way) is to do the bicycle kick and move your hands in and from your body,
