Description

Learn the eggbeater kick and tread water like water polo players and synchronized swimmers. You don't need any prior swimming experience, this course starts at the beginning and takes you through all of the steps to master the eggbeater kick.The benefits of eggbeater are numerous.  You will be able to stay up for longer, elevate higher, AND use your hands to do other tasks while you tread, just like water polo players do. Whether you are looking for a new form of exercise, want to enjoy the water more, training to be a lifeguard, or entering the Navy SEALs, the eggbeater kick is a vital skill to master. Many people think eggbeater is too complicated, so they use a freestyle kick to tread water. The problem with a freestyle kick is that it takes a ton of energy to stay up, you can't elevate out of the water, and you have to use your hands to help you keep your mouth out of the water. With this system, and some training, you will be able to tread much more easily and actually be able to enjoy being in the deep end of a pool. As a life saving technique there is no question that eggbeater will help you stay up better in any kind of water emergency, whether you're in a pool, a lake, or in the ocean. All you need for this course is a pool noodle and some water!
