- www.SynergySwimming.com. This entertaining freestyle swimming technique video shows you how to swim faster. The quickest way to increase your swimming stroke speed and freestyle technique is by learning how to decrease drag and inefficiency and not by increasing power. The drills and instructions shown can be used whether you are coaching, preparing for triathlon swimming, improving your swim stroke or just learning to swim. An efficient swim technique for crawl swimming begins and ends with proper body position, streamlining and balance.
Learning swim efficiency techniques requires incorporating swimming awareness in swimming drills and workouts. The examples of bad swimmers juxtaposed with examples of good swimmers will help you see how to improve your own crawl technique. Freestyle swim. Monterey, CA

I use this video a reference point and come back to it several times a month. He also takes the time to actually respond to my questions. Very appreciative of his time.
hey my name is Brooke, I'm a 3 time gold medalist at BAD. I just wanted to say this is a great video!!! Very helpful for people with all skill sets. also, when I was about 8 (I'm twelve now.) we where taught this same lesson. Ofcourse this video explains it a lot more in detail. one thing I thought may be helpful, is to think of yourself as a boat, the boat is small, sharp, and narrow at the front. this decreases the drag! make sure you make yourself as long and narrow as possible.
Great video and teacher!! I really appreciate the humour and the land shark :) I'm trying everything to speed up my crawl……thanks again!!!!
3:19 - LANDSHARK! ROLFMAO. Well done, sir. Well done.
This is one of the best swimming technique videos I've seen on RUclips (better even than most of the swimsmooth material, which is great). Because he really knows what he's talking about. He knows the theory and has good illustrative video clips, and makes practical recommendations. Useful points about tilting pelvis/arching back, shoulder flexibility, and pointing out how torque from a wide arm recovery causes drag. Great stuff.
Great advises! I was trying to increase the power of my strokes with my injured shoulders (rotator cuff injuries) in order to swim fast and hurting my shoulders significantly. I can instead use the techniques in this video to decrease the drag and resistance in the water to improve my swim.
I can discern this guy takes life much too seriously. Great video. I bookmarked it to watch again. Thank you so much.
humoresque but most insightful instruction ive ever seen. thanks keep up the good work!
I like the sense of humour in conveying a brilliant analysis of stroke mechanics and how to swim more effectively!!!
So far the best videos on swimming. The language of physics.
Thanks for all the tips and advices they really were helpful
love the video tutorial, and the way you kept me interested, thanks.
Great video man...love the costumes and the levity of it. More importantly your advice seems right on!
Competitive swimming for four years and i never learned half this, thanks a lot man, really appreciate the video.
Lots of good information here. The balance stuff was especially helpful. Thanks!
Great tips and video analysis! Thankyou!!!
Love the hidden humor. Great way to make it interesting and fun
Thanks, I've been having issues for months with my hips dropping. I tried arching my back and tilting my pelvis like it said and it totally worked! A few coaches tried to help but none of their advice worked.
If I don't learn to swim freestyle better by next week my coach will cut me from the team :( thank you for this
what a great way to communicate this info on decreasing drag, so key to swimming efficiently!!!
This is the weirdest video ive ever seen, but the tips were stunning. Some of the stuff where really basic but still blew my mind! This has helped me a ton, thanks.
this is by far the most entertaining swimming lesson i've ever come across ! LIKED&SUBCRIBED!
Great info. My swimming coach's over the years only taught me about streamlining. Never did they mention balance. Very informative. good work
This video helped me so much! Thanks!
Thanks for creating this video. Very helpful for a fairly new swimmer that is just starting to have 'ah ha moments' in the water as things start coming together. I'll go to the pool tomorrow and see if I can incorporate your suggestions!
Really beautiful video!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Thanks a lot for all the videos and explanations , especially arching back for hips' sinking problem is like the biggest secret of swimming. It would be really good if you could make videos on breathing and catching.
