Release of 'A Magic Swimming Lecture: Helping Even Fearful Children Learn to Swim'

Nihon Bungeisha Releases Home Swimming Instructional Guide

Nihon Bungeisha Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will release 'A Magic Swimming Lecture: Helping Even Fearful Children Learn to Swim!' authored by popular swimming-themed YouTuber Tomokin, on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at bookstores and online retailers nationwide.

### The Cause of Not Swimming Is Not Athletics

As swimming classes in schools decrease and families struggle to allocate time and money for swimming schools, this book solves the dilemma of parents wanting their children to learn to swim but not knowing how to teach them.

Tomokin analyzes that the reason children cannot swim is not related to 'athletic ability or kicking power,' but rather 'breathing' and 'fear of water.' This book systematizes a unique 6-step method that prioritizes overcoming fear and floating effortlessly.

### '6 Steps' Parents Can Teach

Aiming for a 25-meter crawl, the book is designed to be enjoyable for both parents and children as an 'extension of play' rather than 'rigorous training.'

1. Getting comfortable with water (underwater walking/tag) 2. Breathing (inhaling, holding, exhaling) 3. Floating well (back float, front float) 4. Kicking (efficient flutter kick) 5. Strokes (large arm rotations) 6. Mastering the crawl

### Video Explanations and Support Functions

The drills include QR codes, allowing confirmation of actual movements via smartphone or tablet. Additionally, it features 'Tomokin SOS' sections, which provide advice on common stumbling blocks and tips for parents, allowing families to replicate professional instruction even if attending a swimming school is difficult.
