Firstly, hold the holders and practise floating and then gently kicking your legs up and down in the water.Then,try floating on your back and kicking with your legs to drive yourself. Try this for the first two days.

 Float flat on your back, and do a flutter kick with your legs. With your arms, do the "crawl" motion, lifting one arm straight into the air and keeping it straight as it re-enters the water next to your head. Once it's underwater, bend it to bring it back to a straight position next to your side, and repeat. Alternate arms as you swim, and try to keep your fingers together and your hands as flat as possible.
Then Practice exhaling underwater.While you're still in a shallow depth, take a deep breath and put your face underwater. Slowly exhale out your nose until you're out of breath, then come back up and keep doing it again and again

In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established:

• Butterfly

• Backstroke

“So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can’t be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.”said by gold medalist Michael Phelps.
