- This is my attempt at creating the reference that I wish someone had given me when I set out to learn swimming freestyle.
After 12 years of learning, this video combines everything I find important about the pull in freestyle swimming. I'll use the words of Brett Sutton: "Place, press, push makes my swimming go woosh!"
Many thanks to Sheila Taormina, who wrote the book that changed my perception of swimming: Swim Speed Secrets. (www.amazon.com/dp/1937715817/)
And many thanks to Huang for translating the closed captions into simplified and traditional Chinese! Last but not least, many, many thanks to Majo and Fernando Ramos for putting in a huge amount of work and translating the narration and the labels to Spanish and providing a Spanish audio track! You're awesome! 🐳💝

20 minutes, no ads, no sponser, no sale, just info. You are a great human. It would be amazing if you could do one for kicking too.
Thank you for the kind words! If I ever make another video of that kind it will definitely be about kick mechanics and kick timing. 🐳
@@schnodopics I'm an adult beginner and this video has helped me really understand the role of the arms so thank you for that.
@@schnodopics Please do one !
@@Spaxcore deyourtube
I had ads start and after few minutes minutes. I stopped
Nothing can beat this freestyle tutorial video
A better video might. 😉
But it is very kind of you to think so. Thank you!
I read the book, liked it, but was too abstract to implement. Then, I came across your video. I saw many videos about swimming, but this is the best one! Thank you for taking the time in creating it. I'm sure it helped many swimmers, like it helped me. Huge thanks!
I'm happy to hear that my video could achieve that. I created it, hoping it would have that effect for some swimmers. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
After years and years of viewing swim videos, this is the one to call, a masterpiece! Thanks for spreading the love!
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you very much for letting me know! 🐳
Aeh, ho jiak boh?
Masterpiece. I can't even imagine the amount of work and time that went into making this. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
Well, it did take me a while to get it done. 😅
Thank you for appreciating the effort! 🐳
@@schnodopics thank you!
At the end of the underwater phase, why not extend the arm completely, locking the elbow?
@@fernandomartinhofurtado4088 for two, reasons, I think: It prevents injury (golfer's elbow) and the change of direction from back to forward becomes more rounded. (Check out this link: tenniselbowclassroom.com/exercise/swimmers-elbow/)
By far, after browsing dozens of websites, the best place to correct mistakes and improving the swimming technique. Many thanks from Madrid.
Best swimming video on youtube. A highly detailed catalog of all the touchpoints to focus on. Answered several questions about the feeling of the propulsive phase that I have wondered about, but that no one else has addressed.
This is exactly what I hoped my video might be able to achieve. Thank you very much for letting me know!
I've watched hundreds of clips about freestyle technique. Many of them are very interesting and useful. But this video clip surely is the best!
Wow! That's a huge compliment. Thank you!
@@schnodopics You deserve many more subscribers and publicity, an amazing video.
@@faroukm4148 Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the video!
agree totally, watched also many many but that is very unique - great work
@@whocares623 It's very nice to hear that the work I put in wasn't in vain. Thank you! 🐳
What a masterpiece! Incredible level of detail shown of the proper technique but after reading his responses to comments, I'm equally impressed with the level of humbleness of the creator of the video. Such a kind and generous gentleman...thank you sir, much appreciated!
It is very kind of you to think and say so. Thank you for appreciating the effort! 🌻🐳
What a gem. I have been looking at swimming videos for several years and this is by far the best and most complete stroke analysis I've ever seen. Bravo.
It is very nice to hear that! I certainly did my best. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🌻🐳
Coaching for few decades now. YOU DID SUCH A EXCELLENT NARRATIVE VIDEOGRAPHY AND EDIT TO EXPLAIN IN DEPTH WITH EASY TO UNDERSTAND WORDS OF CHOICE. 👏
I did my best. Thank you very much for your praise and for taking the time to leave a comment!
Best video period. I watch this once a month. TY you are awesome.
Wow, thank you! That's a huge compliment, and I'm really happy to get feedback like yours so long after publishing my video. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
You got me as soon as you mentioned Weissmuller, this is the best freestyle instructional video on the web..thank you as it will be a constant reference for me as I continue to re-train myself at age 72. I was coached some bad habits on my high school and college swim teams, your video has already started to bring me up to date.
Wow! That is huge praise from an experienced swimmer. I only told in my own words, and showed with the pictures that I saw in my mind, what others - more knowledgeable than me - have taught me. Thank you so much! 🐳
Just started learning front crawl and this video is excellent. I will certainly be trying these techniques out in the pool in the coming days.
Glad it was helpful! Have fun swimming and thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Astonishing! This is the most acute, complete, clear video about freestyle! I think I'll learn it by hart.
I'm glad to hear you like it! Thank you!
However, I only focused on the movement of the arms. Even there, some might debate the "completeness", and I probably wouldn't argue too much. There are so many, many more relevant parts like body position, kick mechanics, kick timing, head position, breathing... It never ends. 🙂🐳
I have been swimming incorrectly all my life and just in the last few years swimming is my main form of exercise. I have been slowing learning how to swim correctly, watching tutorials and practicing. I have improved tremendously but I really wish I could have viewed this awesome instructional from the start of my swimming journey. This explains and shows with reason the freestyle stroke! 👍💯
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you'll keep improving and having a lot of fun while doing it! 🐳
Sheila is the queen for sure.
You won't hear me disagree. 🙂
@@schnodopics I emailed her and told her about you video. I thought she would like it.
By far the best video I have watched. I spent countless amount of hours as well. This video, although with a lot of information captures everything in a short time. Well, done, well explained, and super useful. Thanks, Schnodo for putting in all the effort and digesting things for us, and put it back together as effectively as possible ... :)
I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the video. I really did try to clear out the fluff as much as possible. Thanks for the comment! 🐳
Congratulations for producing such an amazing video! This is the clearest demo video on the crawl I have ever watched.
Thank you! I created it in the hope that many adult swimmers could benefit from watching it. It is very satisfying to receive such great feedback!
That is the most comprehensive description of arm movement I have ever heard. I will watch this video over and over. Many thanks.
German engineering of hand movement of front crawl 😂 thank you so much for the details and anatomy of the movement (100 of 10 in dedication)
Love the wetsuit too
I did my best. Thank you for appreciating the effort and leaving a comment! 🐳
This is an incredible breakdown! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment! 🌻
Muy buen video! Un resumen muy bueno de los 📚 de taormina!!
I've seen countless hours of swimming videos over 8 months since I am just learning, this one does truly sums them up all, but there is no way that I would have understood you if I hadn't watched them all.
It certainly does help having familiarized yourself with the subject beforehand and I'm happy to hear that you find my video useful. Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Great Video! Love the detail you put into describing the freestyle swim. One of the best swim videos on RUclips.
Very happy to hear that you like the video! Thank you! 🙂
Excellent - direct, clear, no nonsense - best I´ve seen.
I tried to avoid the fluff that I dislike in other people's work. Thank you for noticing!
I have watched many freestyle instruction videos, but this is by far the best I have seen. Thank you very much.
That's nice to hear! Thank for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
The best video I've watched so far that explains arm movement and covers every details. I tried my best to follow the focus point during swimming today, got surprising improvement. The "going over a hump" is such a brilliant analogy that made me suddenly figure out the transition between catch and pull phase. Thank you very much!
I'm always most interested in hearing what particular visualization or analogy clicks with different swimmers. Thank you for letting me know what worked for you and also for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Great video, great help in teaching my 68 yr old wife to swim .!
Good to hear! I hope she enjoys the process. Thank you for the comment! 🐳
Beautifully done!
The visual component is clear,varied and great to watch.
The dynamics of muscle movement's and comments re coordination with arm and joint movements
are elegantly presented.
Thanks for such a great presentation.
Thank you for appreciating the details of how I structured the video! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
this video is a great summary of all you need to know about freestyle stroke. thank you!
It's nice to hear that you like my video! Thank you very much!
This is the best shot explanation I have seen after watching quite a few now!
I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
This was an amazing video and well done. The examples of breaking down the front crawl and all the fine pieces to make it beautiful and effortless is by far the best video I've seen yet on YT. I can't wait to practice these techniques in the pool!
Thank you🙇
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Thank you for this comprehensive and quite helpful explanation.
Thank you! I'm glad you got something out of it! 🙂
Excellent explanations on the "how" part. What I think is missing is the emphasis on "why" - we need to understand that we are not freestyle like a dolphin but like a turtle, that is: the propulsion is done by hands rather than tail. And if you notice these two animals, the area surface of the "paddle" is really important:
1. fingers position: if you keep yours slightly separated the palm surface increases. Water has a high viscosity, so don't worry about water slipping between the fingers (in fact you should pay attention to it, see #3)
2. high elbow: palms are not big enough, so we are increasing again the surface by using our entire palm+wrist+forearm(!). Keep elbow-wrist-palm on the same level (vertical) while pushing water back.
3. slightly relaxed forearm-wrist-palm and fingers: remember that is your back doing most of the work. As it was pointed out in the video, these needs only to be in the right position. Having them slightly relaxed allows you: feel the water flow (if if slips for instance), quickly adjust arm position and not in the least conserve energy.
Excellent and very well documented video by the way!
I agree with you, it is important to know the why. I tried to provide that whenever I thought it wasn't obvious or well documented and presented in other places. Please bear in mind that this is not a video for coaches, who might be interested in discussing the intricacies of fluid dynamics and biomechanics. It is meant to help beginners and intermediate swimmers acquire a mental image of what they should be striving for, and make them aware of the things they should avoid.
When collecting feedback for a few previews, I was told that the video already was much too long for a younger audience. It seems the absolute maximum attention span of the younger generation is well below six minutes. 😉
Despite that, I did not break it up into segments, which would have been relatively easy, given its structure. I had a vision of a single place that learners could come back to for themselves or use as blueprint when checking the stroke mechanics of swimming buddies. However, I tried to make it as short as I found reasonable without losing any of the information that I thought was critical or required for context and flow. I believe, I succeeded and I'm mostly happy with the result. But of course there is much more to learn and understand for those who want to gain a deeper understanding.
Thank you for commenting and providing some of the why! I concur with everything you have listed so maybe those who feel that my video does not provide a sufficiently deep rationale, will find some of the answers in your list.
@@schnodopics the topic is quite vast, you cannot possible fit everything into a single video indeed. This is a wonderful clip and the right length I may add. I'm glad it popped out in my suggestion list ;)
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that you took the time to provide me with your thoughts on it!
I hurt my shoulder from bad catch form. Best video I’ve ever seen for proper form.
I hope your shoulder has recovered. I know that it can take a while. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
@@schnodopics No, actually I just met with my Ortho surgeon today and there is a full thickness tear so I'm going to have to have surgery which will keep me out of the pool for almost a year. But, my love of swimming is why I'm going to have the surgery. When I start swimming again it will be with a coach that can make sure I'm using proper form. Thanks for your videos! I'll see you in a year. 🙂
Maglischo is a GOD!
I assume he'd be the first to dispute that. 🙂
Thanks for leaving a comment!
I am new to swimming, and this is the most detailed and easy explained video I have found in my search, I know if's best to do the technique right the first time instead starting with bad habits. This will be my go to video, thanks.
I'm happy to hear that you're finding my video helpful. Thank you for leaving a comment. Have fun swimming! 🐳
Right? I’m going to have to watch this like 100 times to soak it all in (once before each practice).
Best video on catch. Very detailed and methodical and connects all the pieces I was missing. So excited to try my new learnings. I appreciate you putting all the efforts for this video.
And I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Thank you! 🐳
Best video I have ever seen on youtube about front crawl / freestyle technique. Pure gold.
Happy to hear it! Thanks a lot! 🐳
Excellent work!
Your video has really helped my understanding of certain swimming principals that, to this point, were confusing to me.
I owe you a beer!
That's exactly what I hoped it could achieve. Thank you for the feedback! 🌻
This will be my guide from now on. The summary points for each topic is wall poster worthy! THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the praise! It's nice to hear that the effort was not in vain. 🐳
Amazing video! One of the BEST I’ve seen. Thank you for the detailed descriptions and the images of the correct movements as well as the wrong ones!
Really glad you find my video helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
This is like 20 videos explaining parts of free style, condensed into one video !! Amazing job and thank you!!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Excellent book recommendation, also one of the best in my collection.
Thank you for backing me up! Everybody should own "Swim Speed Secrets". 🙂
Thank you for the detailed explanation and phases break-down, I'm currently training for my first Half IM and this video is definitely helpful!
Thank you for the kind words! I wish you good luck and an awesome race day!
Excellent summary - thank you !

I commented two months ago when I 1st saw this video. Yesterday was a very special day for me. It was my 71st birthday and I set a personal best time for 70 lengths (1750 metres), about 2 minutes faster than my previous best time. This was due to me practising and improving my arm action. I am so very grateful that your video has made such a difference to my swimming. Thank you.
Wow! Happy birthday! 🌻
Hearing that my video helped improved your swimming that much in such a short time is really rewarding. But I only did the talking. You put in the actual work. 👏 Congratulations and thank you for letting me know! 🐳
Fantastic! I don't have words to thanks for the video. Everything is perfect❤
The information, the velocity and editing.
That's huge praise! Thank you very much for the kind words! 🐳
By far my most favorite Video on swimming!!!!!!!
I'm honored! Thank you for letting me know! 🐳
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you for being so kind to leave a comment! 🐳
I'm a 70 year old who used to swim 1 km a day 1/2 a life time ago. Just returned to swimming on doctor's advice for knee arthritis and MAN I wish this stuff had been around 35 years ago. Brilliant.
I'm so happy to hear this from someone who has been around for a while. Thank for you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
The best video I've ever seen on youtube. I benefited greatly in the past two weeks from watching this video. Thanks so much for posting!!!
Great to hear! Thank you for dropping a comment!
Thank you! I really like Sheila Taormina’s books because she breaks the stroke down and really analyses exactly how the stroke works. But OMG you have taken it so much further. There is a ton of info here.
In addition to Sheila's great descriptions, I tried to gather analogies that I thought would help in building a mental image of the stroke. I also thought it would help to show how things can go wrong and how they should be instead. Thank you for noticing and appreciating that! 🐳
Excellent video. Your experience shows while u break it down. I have read the book too. But your "video" makes Sheilas thousand words more relevant. Thanks.
I'm glad you liked the video and that I could help bring forward Sheila's message. Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
This is the best representation of technique I have seen! Thank you for putting this together and giving us video clips of what is hard to visualize.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for appreciating the effort! 🐳
Absolutely fantastic video. Best one I have found by far! Thank you for all the work and love that went into this gem of instruction and motivation.
Thank you for the praise! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! 🐳
This is a really high-quality video, excellent instructions because it also discusses the “why”! And talks about shoulder injury risk. It has it all. Thanks so much, can’t wait to get back into the water to try these tips.
It's good to hear that you like the style of presentation! Thank you for commenting! 🐳
Ok. This is gold. Thank you for this
You're very welcome! Thanks for appreciating the effort! 🐳
Hello Schnodo, One of the best videos for front crawl arm movement, thank you 👍👍👍
Happy to hear it! Thank you for the comment! 🐳
Wow, great detail and marvellous schematics throughout the complete arm movement. Excited to apply this as I re-enter the water after a considerable layoff. My journey from “Competitive swimmer to triathlete to masters swimmer back to just enjoyment and fitness” now has a more important set of goals. Thanks and cheers, great job.
I enjoy getting positive feedback from beginners to intermediate swimmers because they're the ones I created the video for, but it's even nicer and quite reassuring to receive affirmation from experienced swimmers. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
Excellent work!! Professional explanations made easy
Happy to hear you liked it. Thank you for the praise! 🙂
just the best free style teaching video I have found
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Fabulous.... Beautifully explained.

Amazing and so detail in explaining, really appreciate it ❤️
Thank you for the kind assessment and for leaving a comment! 🐳
Wow best video! Thanks so much for making this. The explanations are so detailed and the side by side video comparing good and bad form is super helpful. Kudos!
It's very kind of you to leave such a nice comment! Thank you! 🐳
In my first pool visit since watching this, I managed to make a fundamental change to my stroke. I have struggled for a long time to get a "high elbow". Within 5 minutes, I could feel my stroke had changed. Suddenly, I could feel what I had heard many times and never been able to master - "getting an arm full of water". I was using my shoulder and back muscles to keep my arm curved instead of trying to manage it with my arm muscles. After half an hour, I got out of the pool and could feel that my shoulder and back muscles had been working - a completely new feeling after my regular, morning swim. I had given up on improving mys stroke but this video has really excited me. Thank you so much.
And thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌻
I love those moments when something clicks and you're suddenly able to actually feel a concept that everybody was talking about but that personally seemed completely foreign for a long time.
A word of warning: Don't overdo it. It is okay to feel your back muscles after swimming, those can handle a lot of work. If you still keep feeling your shoulder muscles like that after a week or two, you're probably working the shoulder too hard. Give your body some time to get used to activating unfamiliar muscle groups and then be very careful to protect your shoulder. Keep the shoulder stable, perform the catch with VERY little power. Best of luck! 🐳
@@schnodopics Thank you for taking the time to offer personal advice. Very kind.
So much to digest in this video, and it’s much needed. I’ll find myself watching this video over and over, finding different things to focus on for the next swim. Thank you for a great analysis!
It's good to hear you're finding my video useful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
I've watched tons of videos about freestyle technique. This is the first one that actually takes the time to fully decompose the arm movement, which is so essential to freestyle. Congrats to you Sir!
I'm happy to hear that you find my video well made! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Far and away, thee most informative how to video I have seen on this subject! Believing is seeing and seeing makes learning so much easier to understand and improve by replication. Thank you 🙏
I'm really happy to hear that my video makes sense to so many people. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
i think this is the best swimming visualisation video I have ever seen

Masterpiece!, well done and well appreciated! This video is full of relevant information from beginning to end! Thank you for producing and sharing it with so many people! I laughed so much when you said that for many people swimming fast is bla bla bla! They simply live in denial as swimming faster with proper technic is heaven! 😁😁😁😁😁!
Thank you for the comment! It's good to hear that you found my video helpful! 😊🐳
I have been following this video for few months and can already see the improvement. As many others have noted, this is one of the best explaination of Sheila's amazing book. And not only you've done such amazing video, you're engaging with people leaving the comments and helping them. This is such a nice gesture, and I applaud you for the efforts you've put. THANK YOU!!
Last week, I helped few people in my pool with the tips mentioned in your book. I feel best way for any of us to thank you is pay it forward in the community.
Thanks again.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this. Paying it forward is a wonderful concept and I'm really happy that you're spreading the word and helping other swimmers out. Thank you for your kind words and providing support for others! 🐳
Excellent work!👍Thanks for this awesome explanation.
You are welcome! Thank you for leaving a comment!
Thank you so much! You explain this very clearly, thank you so much. This is the best video I have ever seen
I'm happy to hear that you've enjoyed it. Thank you! 🐳
This is so informative and much easier to understand with the live examples -quite a feat of photography for which I''m truly grateful! Thank you! I'm not very good at freestyle being mostly self-taught and have no speed whatsoever as my technique is terrible! So, I'm going to try what I've seen as soon as it's warm enough in the lake to stick my head back under water!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that I picked images that are helping you understand what's going on. Good luck with you swimming! Keep it fun! 🐳
Fabulous. One of the best I have seen. Thank you

Thank you for the kind words! 🐳
Outstanding..clear concise effective tutorial..a must share with students of the art of swimming
It's good to hear that you're finding my video helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Thank you! I will watch this several times; amazing detail. I think I now understand HOW to engage my back muscles. I knew this is important I just didn’t understand how to trigger the back. Your explanation & demonstration make perfect sense. The shoulder & scapula positioning…so helpful.
I will watch your video several more times as I work on applying your techniques. I also love how you demonstrate the catch by using the tree log, then the pull concept which moves your body past the log. Brilliant!!!!
Also very helpful is showing the incorrect positioning then showing the correct ones. Many instructing videos only offer a verbal narrative of what not to do. I could really see the differences with your visual comparisons.
Thank you!!!
I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you for pointing out in detail, what about the video you found helpful. Much appreciated! 🐳
The best swimming video, ever. Excellent video.
It's very kind of you to think so! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
The most detailed and complete explanation for free style hand movement i ever come across on RUclips. I practice it and it help me a lot with speed, especially on hand movement after catch before exit water part. Thank you for uploading the video 👍

i love the video too..... kelly nice talking to you here
Oh. Very good video !!! Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting! 🐳
After taking freestyle instruction from elite coaches for 5 years, I hit upon Sheila's book on freestyle only a month ago. Since, I have been re-reading the chapters on the stroke several times. The book is a source of inspiration, but hard to read. Your video says it all in just 20 min. An absolute masterpiece!
I'm really happy to hear that my video is making Sheila's fantastic work more accessible. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
This is the most useful freestyle I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for making sharing the content 🤟
Thank you for leaving a comment! I'm glad to hear you've find my video useful! 🐳
Well, thank you very much for this video. I am having a hard time trying to swim faster and this video has a lot of useful techniques and many answers to my questions. It is really a complete tutorial on freestyle swimming.
Thank you! Just keep in mind that the video only deals with the movement of the arms. And even there, you'll find more variation than I would want to discuss. For example, some very successful swimmers like Brent Hayden recommend not doing the "shrug" but instead keeping the shoulder neutral. And of course, there are the issues of kicking, kicking timing, kicking patterns, body position and breathing and breath patterns etc. The rabbit hole goes very deep. 🙂
Good luck with your swimming! 🐳
Great concise summary of all the fundamentals- thank you
Happy to hear that you like the video! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Masterpiece, thank you.
Thank you too! Glad you've enjoyed the video! 🐳

Same here. After years of not finding it, I decided to give it a shot myself. 😊
Thank you for your appreciation!
@@schnodopics You had a very good idea by done it yourself.
A very comprehensive breakdown of the freestyle stroke which surely will result in faster swimming if followed through meticulously. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation. Your voice is also quite soothing as well. :-)
That is very nice of you to say! I'm glad the message came through. Thank you! 🌻🐳
