Lately, there's a question that's been afflicting me:
Obviously I have learned to breaststroke, but I am still quite afraid of the deep water, what is going on?
Here's the thing:
I went swimming with my friend, and we both swam, but he dared to swim freely in the deep water, and as soon as I got close to the deep water, I panicked.
On the one hand, I envy those who can swim and play in the deep water without scruples, and on the other hand, I can't overcome the strong fear of the deep water, which makes me feel very frustrated.
I have tried to swim along the edge of the pool from the shallow water area to the deep water area, but as soon as I enter the deep water area, I can't help but panic in my heart, swim and suddenly give up, hurry to the edge of the pool, or see someone in front of me, I don't dare to go any further, I know I can go around, but I don't dare.
I also tried swimming from deep water to shallow water, and my friends followed behind. But when he saw the bottom of the pool, the fear in his heart quickly captured his whole body like an electric current, and his hands and feet softened. Just such a short distance of ten meters, I actually panicked several times to the brain is blank, the action also stopped from time to time, fortunately, the heart kept pumping myself, not to choke on the water struggle, and finally the whole person finally swam to the shallow water, the heart is still very afraid.
After that, my friends have always encouraged me to leave the pool and swim from the shallow water to the deep water, and promised to accompany me behind, so that I can relax and relax. I looked at the deep water in front of me, and several times I plucked up the courage to try to go forward, but in an instant I was stopped by fear and had to stop quickly. In the end, I didn't dare to try.
In hindsight, I thought about it and felt that my fear of deep water was due to the following reasons:
1, naturally afraid of water
Being in the water and not being able to breathe freely is a natural fear for many people, and I am one of them. Similar to the fear of heights, but may be more powerful than the fear of heights, after all, there will indeed be accidents in deep water, and when fear of heights, as long as you know that you are still in a safe place, you can calm down.
Some may be able to overcome this fear, but some cannot overcome it anyway; some of them do it quickly, while others take longer to get used to it.
I don't know if I'll be able to overcome it in the end, but I'll still be willing to try it if I have the courage.
2. The swimming skills are not skilled enough
Although you can swim now, but the action can not be said to be very skilled, the number and duration of swimming is not very much, so you should spend more time practicing in the shallow water, when the movement is skilled enough to form muscle memory, you can instinctively react when you get to the water, then face the deep water may not be so afraid.
Therefore, my next goal is to practice more in the shallow waters, swim more skillfully, and improve my swimming skills as much as possible.
3. Lack of physical strength
I myself am a person with poor physical strength, running 800 meters is only barely passed, and after running it feels like there is only half a life left, plus breathing in the water is far less relaxed than on land, so I feel that the physical exertion in the water is faster, and I am always worried about swimming in the deep water and swimming without physical strength, resulting in choking or even drowning. However, in the end, it is still not enough to swim, and when the swimming skills are good enough, I believe that I will definitely control the rhythm of swimming according to my physical strength.
After such an analysis, it feels less frustrating.
When you are infinitely worried about one thing, stop immediately, analyze the cause, and see what actions you can do to make things better, even if it is a small action. Don't stay where you are and let things go bad.
I love swimming, why am I obsessed with learning to swim well?
I'm not trying to surpass others, I'm trying to experience a larger world.
Come on! Try to overcome your fears!
