 Learn the dolphin stroke.
 The butterfly stroke .
 Swim the breaststroke.
 Do the sidestroke.
 Try swimming laps.
EXPERT TIP

ALAN FANG
Former Competitive Swimmer
Interested in competitive swimming? Alan Fang, a former competitive swimmer, says: "If you
want to be one of the best, start as early as you can. Then, practice consistently. One of my old
coaches used to say, 'If you don't swim for a day, your progress goes back 2 days, but if you
don't swim for a week, you have to start over again.' This is an exaggeration, obviously, but it's
true to some extent. But if you just want to swim for fun, or for survival, that consistency isn't as
important."

Try diving. Dives can be a fun way to get into the water and start a stroke. Start with a basic
dive, and move on to more complicated swan dive, back dive, and rolling dive.[8]
 Always make sure the water is deep enough before you dive. At a bare minimum,
the water should be 9 or 10 feet (2.7 or 3.0 m) deep; if you're a tall person, make it at
least 11 or 12 feet (3.4 or 3.7 m).
