treading water

Question
hi how are you...i am learning to swim day by day and come to see that it is extremely fun and gives you a great workout.  I have even given up my other sport for the time being lol...but anyway, my question is how do i learn to tread in deep water using da flutter kick...i try but get tired really fast...i cant do da egg beater kick so please please dont suggest that...i be wanting to jump in the deep end like everbody else because it look like so much fun...so if i did that how would i come back up to the surface and stay above water...thank you so much for your answer

Answer
The concept of treading water and coming back up to the top after jumping in are similar with the flutter kick. When you jump in kick hard and you will surface and then you can swim to the side. With treading water it's much much harder to do with the flutter kick but you would use the same kick as on your tummy on in a vertical position and then you would use the same arms as treading water with the egg beater kick.

Great questions!
