Taylor is the best online swim instructor I've seen! Easy to digest info, effective drills, and great demonstration of proper technique. The fantastic production quality also helps. Thank you for a great a channel!
Seriously, try the heels/butt/shoulders against the wall thing for posture. It was one I picked up as a gymnast. If you are trying spinning moves, and your body is not in a perfectly straight line, every thing goes off in all sorts of directions. So, all 3 against the wall. then slip one hand in behind your lower back, with just the fingers at low back/spine level. Try to put your spine on your fingers. You will instantly feel this mostly in your lower abdomen. This can also be done laying flat on the ground. That feeling in your abs should also be felt when you are swimming long axis strokes for least amount of drag possible. Just try it once and you will know.
Probably 99% of the swimmers I see have varying degrees of 'too much arch' in their backs as they swim, and in their stream line position drills. Another drill to try is heels against the wall, stream line position, and try to put your lower back on the wall. Note: this is almost impossible for most, but you should be able to get to the point where you can just slip your hand into the hollow where your lower back is. What this does is it forces you to tighten up your front abs, which is a crucial skill for perfect stream line. I can see a slight arch in your back, and with Feres as well. If you are good with 'feeling' the water, you can feel water flow all down your back when you push off the wall. If you have too much arch, there is a dead zone back there where you will not feel any water flowing down your back. This also means you will be feeling it all on your stomach, which again, creates more drag. "Suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine".
Hi! Im James. Been doing swimming for quite sometimes now, but my swimming is still very bad (slow and dragging). And eventually i stopped swimmibg at all . But i do really to improve my skill in swimming. When i saw your videos on swimming techniques, i was once again being motivated and made a plan to go back again on swimming. Thats why im watchong your videos.
You are such a great teacher. I am in rehab. after back surgery . Your de.o's are really help me to make the imprints again in my brain for releaning how to do the crawll the correct way. Thank you, lots of succcess
Thank you, today in the pool I suggested your a Site to a hydrotherapist. She answered me that her friend had told her. about your site. 👏 👏 👏 ,thank you for all your hard work. You are helping people all over the 🌎.
This is the app Fares was working on a decade ago. I totally forgot about it. I swim with my apple watch and the apple app skips laps. I just subscribed. I was dying in hospital with covid delta for 5 months and lost a lot of lung capacity, so when i start a workout I can squeeze 2 or 3 open turn 50’s (flip turns with fins) but the oxygen debt catches up and i have to revert to 25’s with A LOT of recovery. I am hoping this drives regeneration and I can get back to swimming 100’s, 200’s etc. i see seasoned swimmers looking at me like I rest too much 😅😅 i get it. Explaining what losing 100lbs of muscle in a months time and less lung capacity does gets to be a chore. I am just there for me to be honest. This app will help me.
Thank you, Taylor, I will try this later today. I broke my shoulders a few years ago and it is difficult for me to hold my arms like you do but I will do the best I can. The support of the water hops a lot! 😊😊
❤ thank you. that was a great lesson. i like learning from you and kaylie more than fares, (don't worry, he already knows) although i have enjoyed some of his white board presentations, but still, when i want to learn techniques, its all about you and kaylie :)
You mention that you are "doing something wrong" if your hips are sinking. Generally, my hip/leg position in free is not great. What can I do to improve that?
Without a snorkel, how do you breathe when streamline kicking on your stomach? I was hoping to see it, but the video never showed. Don’t think you held your breath for 25m, or did you?
Little thing, raising your arms like that with the shoulders down is gonna slowly cause you to have supraspinatus issues. The shoulders need to lift up for the arms to go up to that position so that you don’t hurt yourself.

Are there tons of typical people doing intense swimming workouts who are really HUGELY obsessed with motor vehicles and motor machinery?

What i love about Taylor's instructions that they are simple, easy to follow but very efficient.

Hi James! Hope you can get back in the pool and have fun again. You've got this :)
Thank you for teaching stream line drag and kicking.
Thank you for your clear explanations. I’m a beginner and faithfully practice all your techniques all be it with difficulty but I never give up . 😊
I just moved in to a new place with a lap pool so I thought I might as well learn how to swim like a real swimmer. Im glad this channel appeared 😊
You can do it! Glad we can help. Happy swimming :)
