How do you tread water without sinking or tiring out?

Move both arms in an large, opposite circular motion, ie. left hand clockwise, right hand anticlockwise. Kick legs either long, flowing breaststroke style, or kick normally, but also with a circular motion. This uses the least effort, but you will tire eventually.

Stamina comes with practice. If you have a difficult time continuously swimming long distances, break your workout down and do a pyramid or ladder set. Pyramid sets you gradually increase the distance of each set and finish with your longest distanced set. For example, 5 sets of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500. Ladder sets you increase your distance, then decrease and finish with a short distance. For example, 5 sets of 200, 300, 400, 300 and 200.Increase your distances or the number of sets as you get used accustomed to the sets. Set a goal of how many yards you will like to accomplish in your workout. If you workout for an hour, try to complete 3000 yards, then increase to 3200 and so on.

The water isn't going to get stored any more than usual.  Your weight fluctuates.  Don't cut back on water!  You need it to flush everything out.  Just keep on, add more exercise, you'll see some movement.  And add more fiber to your diet!  One bowel movement a week isn't a lot.  Eat more greens, or take a fiber tablet if you can't get enough with your diet.

Practice in a pool, for a long time.  You will be accoustemed to having to push extra hard that when you do it in the air, you will go faster.

Go to a pagan group and ask for a water ritual.  It is a spiritual ritual.  Or make up your own.  Consecrate yourself to whatever you think of as good, and then take a cooling plunge in a lake.  All the best.

firstly b4 answer...some commonsense (sometimes not so common sense) safety. When you are learning always have an experienced friend & adult supervision (if applicable, ie. if you are under-age) this is critical!!\n\nSafety out of way now for answer :)\n\nLots of ways...\n\nGo to a swim teacher or...\n\nIt's easy to go with a friend to pool and use a pool-noodle under your arms, once you can float with this, use your friends hands instead of the noodle, get them to have there hands at your lower back (centre of gravity)and slowly ajust your body till you feel balanced.\n\nWhen you feel like you are floating get your friend to slowly lower there hands away from you till you are floating all by yourself.  Remember that floating is not about freezing but about slow suttle movements to maintain balance.\n\nHint:\nDo everyhting at your own pace and work on blowing bubbles and pretending to sit on recovery (backside down 1st instead of feet first towards ground)so you dont panic and get a monthful of water.\n\nGood Luck (sorry for long answer, important to do properly)\n\nI'll repeat for my own concious..Friend and adult supervision (if applicable) are critical!!

Stand on a step on the balls of your feet and your heels hanging over.  Hold on to the handrail for support. Let your heels drop down slowly then lift them up and stand on your toes as high as you can then slowly let your heels down again..  Repeat 15 times, rest for a minute or two, repeat and rest again.  Do two sets a couple of times every day and increase to three or more sets.  Make sure you've had lots to drink so you don't get leg cramps.  And remember to stretch too.  :o)

ok when your doing one make sure your feet are in the right place,put your hand(fingertips) on the ground.your feet should be in the middle and on the tale.push down on the tail while jumping your fingertips will come off the ground.while in the air the firt on the tail slides back gives the board a little nudge so it flips.then quickly slide your foot back on the tale but right on the end.make sure both feet are on.then your board will drop down and you keep your balanece.that is a tip and you can think about something like if i land these ill get 1 million dollars or somethin on the lind.i hope this helps.oh yea yuo can practice in a pool,trampiline,or bed.thats what i did when i first learn how to do one now i can do them naturally.have a nice day

either get a q-tip and get the water out by letting the qtip soak it up, but heres another great way\ni know it may sound like im trying to make you look stupid, but im not...TRUST ME, IT WORKS!\nhop on one foot, have your head tilted to the side, and hit the side of your head your trying to get the water out of...like if the right side of your head was down as you were jumping, hit the right side of your head, but dont hit it too hard!

A wide beach with fine sand (no rocks) works best. When the wave comes in you wait until the receding water is about an inch in depth. "Throw" your board so it skims upon the receding water. Run and jump on your board and ride the board into the oncoming surf. It takes practice and an eye to determine which waves are the right ones to ride.

Bend your knees slightly, keep your center of gravity underneath you without leaning too much on one leg.  And most important of all, use your back foot like a break as you drag it on its side to help stop your momentum.

you could learn meditation or soething that will relax you. The sound of falling water is really relaxing too. It makes me sleepy.
