First Swimming Lesson in Gili Air
I recently tried learning to swim in the sea at Gili Air, and it was a great experience! As a beginner, I felt a little nervous at first, but the calm and clear waters of Gili Air made me feel comfortable quickly.
The instructors were very patient and helpful, explaining the basic techniques clearly, from how to float, to breath control, to proper hand and foot movements. We practiced in shallow water first before slowly moving to deeper sections. The sensation of swimming in the sea is much different than in a swimming pool-the salty water makes it easier to float, and the underwater scenery is so beautiful!
The advantage of learning to swim in the sea at Gili Air is the favorable environment: the water is warm, the currents are relatively calm, and there are many spots with gradual depths suitable for beginners. Also, being able to see small fish swimming around adds to the excitement of learning.
Overall, this is a highly recommended experience for anyone who wants to learn to swim in the ocean safely and enjoyably. I feel more confident in the water and can’t wait to try snorkeling or even diving next time!
