i'm a new guy, 2 month of swimming, just did this training (40 min + 10 min sauna after) , boy i got pumped!!
I know all these drills, but I like to look at this lady in the video.
@@me4eG🧐🧐🧐🤨🤨🤨
Im a 8 month guy i swim 1h + 10 minute bath i do this

The pools finally reopend after Covid in The Netherlands, feels so good to do all the beginner and advanced drills! Thanks!
I enjoy your videos . I learn a bit each time and it gives me suggestions to my swim coach .
Im an instructor & the kids LOVE “putting their rocks on” its a drill they finally understand about all-over propulsion (so they dont drink too much pool water) 🤙 i love this vid, TY!
These videos are really helpful, I have one arm (birth defect) and had two panic attacks in the pool on my first try - looking around at everyone who had a better technique than me. Keep them coming, encouragement welcomed and appreciated
Thank you for the video. The improvements are seen very fast after doing these.
Super. These are all awesome drills!
Amazing video!! This was very helpful
Loved your explanation just makes me solidify I’m explaining correctly. Had a year off and now head coach of age group, so I remember things just not as sharp
Glad it was helpful! Let us know if there is anything else we can help with!
@@FaresKsebati actually I have a question/your thoughts and theories. I don’t believe swimmers 17 and under have enough stamina and strength to not breathe after flags into the turn, so I never institute it, I allow one breathe after the flags but absolutely not before the turn.
However I’m getting some flak on that from my head coach, even though I was supposed to be.
What do you feel?
Very helpful thanks!
Love this channel!! I like how in most of his videos he says how water is 800 times more dense than air to really ingrain in your head that you have to focus on technique to move smoothly thru the water.
Thanks for tuning in, Mark! Glad to have you as a member of the MySwimPro community - happy swimming :)
One year and six months return back to swimming after nearly 10+ years. Need to step up and learn flip turn and not stopping for 40 seconds. Overall, still heavy in body weight but don't care anymore in terms of feeling self-conscious. Now focus on arrival for my swim, aim for 10 to 20 lengths. Couple of back strokes and out.
Early mornings 6.30am or 7.30am. Work from home has given me the time. Shame Wfh came about due to the pandemic. For some of us.
However continue to stay positive and keep on swimming. Thanks MySwimPro. Sandie London UK.
Keep it up, Sandie! Consistency is key!
This is so useful, thanks alot
Its insane, today is Wednesday and here you are breaking down drills on Whiteboard Wednesday. I need more like this! Thank you! The way you set this entire video up and breaking down every little thing was insane.
Happy to help! We put out a new Whiteboard Wednesday nearly every week so stick with us - and happy swimming :)
I like how you explains things. It is clear and easy to understand. Nice job.
Thanks for watching! Happy Swimming!
Your are the bestest coach in the world ❤
Thank you for being the best swimming drills resource!!!
You're so welcome! Happy swimming :)
Zip up drill awesome ‼️‼️
Very interesting and informative.
I’ve been doing these with paddles and fins, and I think I’ve become dependent on the equipment. Need to do more without equipment to get a feel for the water and what I need to do to maintain the position and technique on my own, even if I do move more slowly at first.
I love one hand drill Wich is almost like catch-up drill but we have to continue with one hand till the end and to switch hand for the next lap
Pure awesomeness! Thanks so sharing 👍🙏🏽‼️
Glad you enjoyed! Happy swimming!
Honestly something i have always struggled with is endurance because i can do the techniques well (a lil hiccups every now and then) but i can't swim for that long at all.
It takes time to build up endurance, so stay consistent with your training! You might like our Improve Endurance training plan: myswimpro.com/blog/2017/10/22/8-week-swim-training-plan-to-improve-endurance/
best drill video 🎉
Excellent video 👏👏
Thanks
Really helpful 👏👏thank you. You've just gained a new subscriber
Welcome to the MySwimPro community! Happy swimming :)
Hi. In the 3 strokes-6 kicks drill, do I have to pay attention to stroke-kick timing combination? Thank you!
The fist drill sounds cool, I never thought about the forearm play a role in the swimming.
Great video - Thank you!
Thanks for tuning in, Mark! Happy swimming!
Absolutely fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Training!
Great drills
Glad you like them! Make sure to give them a try! #MySwimPro
You are so great! Explaining everything so good! I ve done the 6 kick drill false for years! I never turned on my siede. On Monday I’ll try it correctly ! Thank you so much !
So glad to hear that! Good luck with the drill and let me know how it goes!
@@FaresKsebati thank you! Sure I will!!!
This is a great video dude am new to this and I can do a lot of this stuff like 1 lap, I've kinda built up my endurance with the hours I put in the pool, so I can just kinda buy a lot with endurance and experience and not much technique, I gotta focus on technique though with that being said.
You're exactly right! Improving your technique will only help you swim longer and faster. Good luck and happy swimming :)
Have a good day sir ❤
Amazing work and drills!! Really good how you explain your work. Also, how could I get the t shirt of swim pro?
I’m new and starting swim team this year and want to know where you get ladies swim wear
For the younger kids (and how I learned it) the zipper drill can also be called the 'Tickle Drill'. haha.
how long should be the resting pause between exercises?
Do we rest 20 secs between each section?
I’ve never done any drills or swim workouts before- totally self taught (with few tips from observant swim friends) and usually I just get in and swim. Freestyle is my go to stroke and figured it be good to try to improve and do better?
I also wear a nose clip- hope this is still ok? I have sensitive sinuses 😕
Whats written on the right in the workout?
For the catch-up drill I sometimes have some sort of "a fight" to avoid the extended arm sinking while I am breathing. I know that I should move the head the minimum possible to breathe , and have the head already back inside the water when the other hand touches water... But still working on it, a bit difficult still to do it in a harmonic/natural way. I think I'm accostumed to "sinking the extended arm" on breathing, too early.
Glad you're aware of that and working on it, Daniel! Make sure you're rolling and extending the arm before starting your high elbow catch/early vertical forearm on the pull! Happy swimming 😃
@@FaresKsebati explain
I love that catch up drill. If you don't have a PVC pipe on-hand, you can also cut up a foam pool noodle and use that :)
That's a great idea! I'll do that today!
Nice lecture, my problem now is how to restore my stremght after almost years i stop dwimming. My doctor told me to do the same but with precaution. Can you help me how. Thank so much. God bless u

Hi there! Make sure you start with only a few hundred meters, then increase that distance by 20% every week. You can also try our app's Couch to 1k Training Plan, where we'll walk you through a workout and get you up to speed! Check it out at myswimpro.com/coach
can you guys analyze kristof milak’s work record 200 fly??
Yes! I did an analysis on his world record in the 200m Butterfly, breaking Michael Phelps's mark! ruclips.net/video/PlgFtO8J4pU/видео.html&feature=emb_title
Favorate drill: butterfly stroke with freestyle kick
I feel like while I'm sprinting freestyle my kick is useless and not helping me move. Like I'm just pulling. Any tips
Asad Yezdan try to use fins for give more strong to your kick
What should I do if that’s so complicated to repeat
Yeahhhh lets goo, I did the catch up drill across the pool, I use to fucking drown tryna get water on the breath and panic
can I swim exclusively with a snorkel for a good while? I am looking to get into swimming for general cardio and endurance, but the breathing scares me, and is putting me off, slightly
Do we have to kick during fist drill or not?
Yes! All these drills should have an active kick. One variation of the fist drill is not to kick at all - just pull, and that will focus more on the pull. I recommend trying it both ways.
I don’t understand the main set - which drills do you choose to do for the main set?
If it just says "freestyle" and not "drill", you just swim regularly!
For the zipper, why should the elbow be above the hand? What's the rationale?
Have a feel for it, maybe switch it up a little.
At what point do you breathe during 3 strokes/6 kicks if you don't have a snorkel?
Good question - Breathe during the strokes! Keep your eyes toward the bottom of the pool and get on your side for the kicks :)
my time of 100 metre freestyle is 1:34 sec my age is 12 this is right time for my age
What's the difference between a 2 × 25 and a 50?
A 50 does not have any breaks in between. 2x 25 would have rest in between the 25s.
Happy Swimming!
@@FaresKsebati thank you so much!
How long should the PVC pipe be for age group kids ? Thank you :)
Fist drill
I have been practicing sidekick with straight arm (or swordfish), on my weak side, but I'm constantly drifting over to either the ropes or the wall.
How do I fix this???
"Beginner", man idk what I am then because I just started to learn how to hold my breath without plugging my nose like damn 😅 I'm sure it isn't so bad, but anyone have tips for breathing?
Hi Chris! We have a whole breakdown of tips for breathing: ruclips.net/video/KASE1gI7XLE/видео.html
i am also in d "pre-beginner" stage... wrking on breathing and not "falling" when trying to glide 😅
Hi
He I'm B_alake here, where's my bro Aaron
Where is finger-tip drag? 😓
Whenever in doubt, remember. Water is 800 times more dense than air
You know it! 🙌
You wanna feel slow?? Try this drill.
25 fist, 25 normal, 25 paddles... repeat!!!
The fists after paddles will feel stupid slow, but you'll figure out how to use those forearms!
In the 1st drill shes using a snorkle why when you say at the start you only need cap and goggles
A snorkel is a great addition to drills because it helps you focus on your technique rather than breathing! However, it is not necessary. Happy swimming! :)
😎😎🙂

my coach call the zipper drill chicken wings
6:50 I was hoping you to say 'If you can't swim 200m, then forget about this video and jump into the pool and learn yourself first to swim 200m straight' Because you so wrong here, how can you do those drills like you explain them if you are not at least an average or advance swimmer LOL. First learn yoursself to move at a certain pace in the water , then come back to this video, because learning those drills are much harder then learning yourself to swim ;) I never learned how to swim and I do freestyle 500 - 1200 meters in my first interval - i do this in 9'30'' to 23'00'' minutes. I would love to start those drills, but would feeluncomfortable to this this in public pool, I will struggle so hard with those.
The only drill here that is worth anything is the "Fist Drill". It is beneficial for the reasons stated. ALL the other drills are worthless or even harmful to an efficient stroke because they promote over gliding. As stated, water is 800 times more dense than air. So if there is ANY pause in your stroke, you will come to an abrupt stop. Distance per stroke is ONLY important when coupled with an appropriate stroke rate and should never be isolated.
Good points. Keep in mind that some beginner swimmers take 30-40 strokes over 25 meters. In this case, drills that promote complete rotation or pausing at the 'glide' will encourage increasing distance per stroke. For a stronger swimmer with solid mechanics, I agree, over-gliding is harmful to seeing improvement. What seems to be over-gliding to a more experienced swimmer is just what a beginner swimmer needs to become more efficient.

Those are not beginner drills. No drill for breathing, kicking, rotating?
For beginners???? 😏
Drills for beginners ? 🙄 this drill is for advanced
Honestly , i can swim with technics, and every swimming i work out drills, but i cant swim more than 50 meters, i get tired, what can ı do? @myswimpro
Hi Busra! Keep working on drills, as they as they foundation of your stroke, but try to go to the pool as often as possible. The more frequently you can get in the water, the easier it will be to increase your distance.
@@FaresKsebati i go to the pool 3 or 4 day of week. I am trying, and i will try, i hope one day i can swim long distance, thank you for your answer 💞
