I appreciate everything shared upon this channel, that said I just cannot figure out this constant A-Aron thing and see many people commenting on it. Is this necessary? I find it annoying for some reason, but will live with it if it is here to stay.
@@abeach5420there's a skit from Key and Peele about mispronouncing names in classrooms where Aaron = A-Aron. Quick RUclips search for key and Peele a Aron should pop it up. It's hilarious
Used this one and it works like magic. I could only swim 100m in freestyle before your videos (esp. This one) and then had to change to less demanding style (like backstroke), today I tried it; wanted to swim 200m in freestyle before switching to backstroke, but I didn’t get tired. Neither got tired after 300m 400m 600m etc. So ended up swimming 1.5 km freestyle. Breaking all my previous records with ease. Thank you, thank you!!
I learned breaststroke, breathing technique and swimming with less effort from your videos. They are really helpful. Thank you! And I am sure, you will hit 1m subs before the next Olympics :)
hello, I am a COACH in the south of France and I came across your site by chance. your site and AT THE TOP. I find my teaching concepts in your approach to swimming and recently I developed an activity on tonic Aqua pilates that I use with my students to make them feel the fixed points of contraction according to the traction phases or rest and it allows my students to become aware of their posture in the water. my adult students who do a lot of open water swimming. for the little ones over 21/2 years old, I work a lot on the sensations of buoyancy and sliding compared to animals (crocodile, otter, sperm whale, etc.) I love it 🥰 too bad you're so far away 😢
Thank you for the instructions. OWS here on Maui. Certain conditions like wind, rough water make my swims very interesting. Always adjusting to what the ocean throws at me. Especially, stroke and breathing rhythm. There are times when I get out of sync by being swamped by a wave. I don’t pool swim but try to incorporate these techniques as much as possible. Mahalo
If I might make a constructively meant comment - the information quality of the video is absolutely superb, but the video starts too quickly and is too intense - hard to pay attention at all times (at least I had to replay some bits, despite it being very understandable, but too dense)
Outstanding instructions! Seen many videos before, but nothing close this simple. Highly encouraged to try them out from tomorrow. I am sure you will hit more than a million by next Olypics!!!
I am having the exact issue right now. I know my arm rotation is too fast thus I am learning to give it a pause. However my hip and kick don’t coordinate with my arm swing to resemble Belake’s demo. This video explains what I am doing wrong. I will try these tips to get to the right place.
Your animation is getting really good. Nice Capoeira bit there.... My martial arts instructors called the rotational energy 'spiral energy'. Probably best example was Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch. I figure it is a crack the whip action, but rotational rather than a body wave like butterfly. Still puzzled by the concept that the hips can propel shoulder rotation. When you did the Arrow freestyle video, you hit on my perception of this. The front side kick anchors on the pulling arm on the same side. The recover arm follows that action. I practice a lot of kicking laps, and practice like I swim, a 6 beat pattern, and with a snorkel. I incorporate shoulder rotation with this exercise. Always, the shoulder rotation comes before the hip rotation, and I have tried to get the hips to rotate, and it doesn't work, or at least I can't make it work. Saw that 6 beat kick exercise at Gary Hall's site, and can't remember exactly, but the kids were doing it either in stream line position or with arms at their sides. Same thing, the shoulders would rotate just a moment before the hips rotated. The low side shoulder that rotates up is the pulling arm. With land base sports that use spiral energy, the rotation starts at the feet, usually a shoulder width or more apart, travels up the spine, and exits out the fingers/hands like throwing a punch or throwing a baseball. Spiral energy does not work without feet being anchored on the ground. Swimming action involves a little bit of throwing the arms forward, but the main action is the pull, not the throw. I figure that slight pause allows for a bit more arm extension so you get full reach, and maximum stroke length. I have taken to doing my kicking laps with arms in freestyle position, and linking front side kick to pulling arm, and extending right arm forward with right front side kick, then repeat for left side. I am doing it for back stroke kicking laps as well. I think you are/were the first one to use the terms 'front side' and 'back side' for kicking, which makes sense so you don't have to change things around for freestyle and back stroke. It works for my overarm side stroke as well......
I sub this channel today. I have been watching swim vids here and there, but i subscribed this channel simply because of the animation and the skeleton!
This was such a great video for me to aid my understanding of swimming mechanics, buy also for the sequence at the end to work on strengthening and coordinating good hip/trunk rotation. Thank you for this!
I tried these suggestions today with spectacular results. I've never had formal swim training since 5 y/o at the Y, so I've probably developed some bad form over the years. My shoulders don't have much space under the acromion, and the way I've been swimming freestyle, if I try to go hard I get a lot of pain in my shoulders. Today I tried doing each stroke slowly, like a 3 count for each stroke. I whipped my hip around while stretching forward, it reminds me of striking in martial arts. Striking starts from the foot, rotates up through the hip, then to the shoulder, and ends with extension of the arm. So I focused on each portion of the movement while swimming. I did it slowly, back and forth a few times, and my shoulder impingement didn't seem to be activated. So then I tried going fast, and still had no shoulder pain. Then I went really fast, faster than I've ever stroked before. It was amazing! And it was much easier than trying to go fast the way I was doing it before, and also easier to breathe. Hours later my shoulders still feel fine.
I think it’s helpful to “start” the kick by moving the thigh UP towards the surface using the hip muscles and then forcefully and sharply snapping the knee down and trying to stop it inline with the body like you are chipping a soccer ball that was sitting at your toes.
This is very interesting in that I'm comparing how fast I swim with 2 beat kick where I pause between rotations and glide longer vs Swim with 6 beat kick where I depend more on my legs. I get severe leg cramps so I can't do 6 kicks all the time.
Thanks for the video and the illustrative examples. Helps me so much. I am improving a little not like you. Thanks to my friend Said that guide me in my learning process, helps me so much in my body position when to work it with him since 5 years ago, and now I'm swim alone practicing
Very nice videos !!! One heads-up though: in the model the pubic bones are separate when they move , yet in reality they are connected by the symphysis pubis
So much brilliant info in these videos, and the 3d models are super helpful, but i never understand "AA-ron" . I assume the guy's name is Aaron. Every Aaron I know is pronounced like a in apple. "aron".
Absolutely super video. Explanation is ver good but could be spoken a bit slower (greater deliberation ?) to enable us to catch up with your explanation at each point. Thank you for this video and your efforts too. Blessings.
I like how you leaned into a-aron after the last video. Maybe this is a cultural pronunciation that us westerners don't get. But man the comments were hilarious on the last one.

Incredible videos. Makes me want to swim!
I just hate the way he pronounces Aaron. Lol. A-a-ron. LOL! I have secondhand embarrassment for him.
I love how most of your videos are so technical but sometimes it’s hard to understand

Came to the comment section looking for this🤣🤣🤣

It’s on purpose…. “Beh-lak-ay”. Who’s next? De-nice?
Now seriously. This guy must be trolling us. I lost it on Be-lak-ay. Call in the silly joke police!
A moo fuckin moowing
I tried this today and apparently faster! Thank for the sharing!
Man, I really improved my swimming technique because of you. thank you very much
Your explaining perfectly with visual effects.. congratulations. You got one new subscriber
If I might make a constructively meant comment - the information quality of the video is absolutely superb, but the video starts too quickly and is too intense - hard to pay attention at all times (at least I had to replay some bits, despite it being very understandable, but too dense)
I just put the playback speed to slower to see better details - very helpful!
This is true..vdo moves ahead before u understand..lowering vdo speed is an option
I have found this to be extreeeeemely helpful, I love how it is carefully detailed, you did a great job! Thank you very very much :)
Outstanding instructions! Seen many videos before, but nothing close this simple. Highly encouraged to try them out from tomorrow. I am sure you will hit more than a million by next Olypics!!!
sometimes i really feel that i'm Aaron himself doing those mistakes!
You’re the best one so far explained every details, I’ve learned alot with few practices i improved alot following you
Thank you
Thank you for being the best teacher ! Breakdown of steps to understand and learn and solutions to problems. 🤩

Aha!! Capoeira..yeah!! .third time this word has come up this week!! That quarter time roatation looks like a drill op! For me at least!
Awesome video! Clear explanation and animation.
Alot to take in but great to see small details make massive gains 🙂
Thanx for explaining that we dont need to think about every muscle while moving, i was really overthinking emptying the mailbox
These are swimming details I wish I had growing up. Also shout-out for using Key and Peele names that shit cracked me up 😂
From all the amazing tutorials, this the hardest for me to understand and apply
I sub this channel today. I have been watching swim vids here and there, but i subscribed this channel simply because of the animation and the skeleton!
Great video. Love your shout out to Key and Peele.
Rotate those hips A-a-ron. Rotate 'em like Belaké.
I think getting D’nice and J’quillan in on the next video will get you to 1M. Great video 😂

you explain swimming very properly thank you so much for giving a proper advice thanks again
I get it! This is so helpful! I will try it out! Wish me luck 🍀🏊♀️
Is he paying homage to Key & Peele w the A-Aron pronunciation, if so, I love it.
Awesome tips, thank you coach!!
great animations
Damn Aaron really did improve in front of my eyes
Great teaching methods bro. Thank you. 👍👍
Me ayuda a comprender cada movimiento. Muchas gracias.

Comecei a pouco usar essas técnicas e me sair bem gostei muito Nilton Minas Gerais Brasil
Im korean also i teach people how to swim your video really helpful thanks
I freakin love your videos!!!

Great thanks, that pov go pro video would be realy nice.
This is a great video but like so many videos from the US it runs far too fast and the speaker is racing through the material so the message is lost.
Absolutely super video. Explanation is ver good but could be spoken a bit slower (greater deliberation ?) to enable us to catch up with your explanation at each point. Thank you for this video and your efforts too. Blessings.
The A-a-ron is so funny 😂
Wow that’s what my swim teacher works on a lot. Now I know it takes 3,5 month )))
Thank you!!!!
awesome animations 👍👍👍👍
What software are you using to move the human body, skeletons, and muscles?
Good work
Thank you A-Aron 😅
Thank u so much
thx
Very helpful. Minor correction: the name is not pronounced "eh-eh-ron." Instead it is pronounced "aa-ron" where the "aa" is the same as in "arrow."
I like how you leaned into a-aron after the last video. Maybe this is a cultural pronunciation that us westerners don't get. But man the comments were hilarious on the last one.
The way the narrator says the names of the swimmers is from Key&Peele substitute teacher skit.@🤣🤣🤣
How long it takes to reduce tummy?
Keep up AAron
Key & Peele? A aaron, blake?
Damn it Aaron get that shit right already.
When you say" activate the hips" or "activate the glutes" do you mean tense these muscles up when swimming? Thanks for helping.
Hola estimado, este video es lo tienes en español ?
