How to Do Swimming (Laps): Step by Step
- Streamlined body position — hips near surface
- Rotate from your core on each stroke
- Breathe rhythmically — every 2-3 strokes
- Kick from the hips, not the knees
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Head too high — causes hips to sink
- Holding breath instead of rhythmic breathing
- Kicking from the knees instead of hips
