Olympic Swimmer Natalie Coughlin Talks Training Mentally and Physically | SELF 
Спорт
i have always loved swimming, but as a saudi arabian woman it was just a dream, couldnt swim in the beach or the pool because there are no gyms for women, i was jealous of men .. or even other women around the world, i love swimming so much. even tho i dont even know how to float, BUT i finally found a place with a pool. and a great person willing to teach me i will start next month! so excited to achieve one of my dreams 😊
lama Chichi awe this is so inspiring! I hope you enjoy your classes :)
lama Chichi how's swimming going?
lama Chichi that's amazing you are going to be a amazing swimmer 🏊🏻🏊🏻♀️
congratulations!!!
So sad to hear that :(
I hope you're at least enjoying swimming now!
That backstroke start tho!!!😍
Livia Laue IKR She has such quick feet.
It's so perfect
That’s exactly how I feel when I run. Mostly everybody says”Oh I hate running, running sucks it’s just so tiring and bla bla bla,” but when I run, I feel exactly what you feel when you swim, except no water 😂, but air instead. I feel peace, and everything, I just forget all drama rounding my life, and run. This vid inspired me.
I'm exactly the same. Except when it's super hot like it has been here lately. Hard to enjoy it as much.
@@dillonbritt4767 slow down when it gets really hot and then you can still enjoy running. However, if you do put in the work when it's hot then you'll be that much better when we get to the colder season.
Trail running and swimming are the two most beautiful forms of training alone
I am in the swim team and this moved me so much it made me say to myself that “it’s not beating your mates its about how well you do and you beat your self “ this has moved me so much
When she said she didn't choose swim, swim chose her, that really hit me. I do swim, and I'm extremely good at it. But I hate it so much. It's just not enjoyable for me anymore. Practice is a drag, meets are a drag, everything's just a drag. I would definitely quit if I was a little worse, but I feel like I'd be letting so many people down if I do.
Mecha Naught your comment hit me hard... I'm a swimmer 2...
You don't know how lucky you are to be able to train swimming !
Mecha Naught what's ur 50 free time m8
Mecha Naught do what makes u happy hopefully they'll understand.
quit or take a long break. life is to short to not do what you truly love.
Where's the routine?
Alex Kovac You're watching it.
Don't be a fool
100 one hundred

Look in the tiltle SHOW
Definitely one of the greatest swimmers of our time. She is so dolphin like under water as she kicks of the wall....just beautiful!! Her amazing body was made for swimming.
Did you hear her she didint chose swimming it chose her.. she wasn’t made for her it’s her choice
Anything but her routine lol
She has great skills. This is so relaxing and peaceful. Love it how she just cruises in the water!
The sound of water was cool
I cannot say anything other than "May God Bless You Lady.” Stunning!
1:59 that's a lot harder than it looks. Powerful legs.
TheHybridlogic powerful arms
It is easy not that hard at all
TheHybridlogic it's hard if you are taller
TheHybridlogic has
I agree, I would slam my shins against the edge of the wall I bet. I banged my knee so hard against the wall when climbing up the ladder! Because you know how you have to use more strength in the water? I didn't realise I was on my last step on the ladder so my knee went straight out of the water into the edge of the wall!
i will always be a hockey player first, it’s what I’m best at and it has gotten me to where i am today, but swimming is my other passion. i compete as much as I can in between hockey and i love it. i agree with everything she said, the feeling of being in the water and pushing your physical and mental abilities to their limits is such a rush, i absolutely love it
That was way cool! More amazing actually than seeing you perform in the Olympics because you can actually see you swim under water. It is amazing to see what you are doing underwater and how efficient and fluid it is. Thanks for posting.
I don’t know why I love this video .... But it is so peaceful to see it again and again...
this video literally has me in tears. swimming means everything to me.
Ligit sammmmmme
I love how swimming makes her feel. So peaceful.
I'm a swimmer too
Hope that I will be in the olympics one day too
I don't care if I'm 1st or 6th just to be there is a big thing
Being olympain? what for? being best in one thing this is wasting of time and very boring. There is so many things to do, you can be swimmer, singer and doctor all at once
.
Malena Jehova you cant do dat at the same time
Malena Jehova That is their life, they choose their way and their options as to say - no one is to meddle into their own lifestyle.
My dream 3, what’s your event
P.S good luck ☺️
Malena Jehova I don’t know why I swim , there is just something in me that tells me that I can’t live without it, and to just keep pushing.
Natalie congratulations on your very successful Olympic career and thank you for this video.
Greetings from Korea! Totally agree that under water there is no music, only one's thoughts, nobody talking to you... I really like being under water and love swimming as well!
Omg Natalie, I hear u girl. I just have to say I tried to stop swimming this year but all my mind was saying was I can't wait till swim starts up again. When I am in the water I feel no one else around me, nothing else matters but my thoughts. I can't give up swimming. It has been a part of me since I was born, I just discovered it 5 years ago. When I am in the water I feel one with it. my mind flows within it. You probably aren't going to see this comment but, Natalie, you are my hero. You inspire me to be a better person and a better swimmer. If I ever meet you in real life, teach me how to master my flip turns please as a mentor. I can't wait 'til the pool opens today and I can get my legs kicking again. I will never give up on what I can believe in. Never become a land breather
That backstroke dive was beautiful ❤️
So beautiful! thanks for sharing
I started swimming, for a triathlon event, about 2 months ago. I have fallen in love with it and it has become my favorite part of my training.
i used to be so dedicated to swimming but i stopped and now im trying hard to get back, love this
We could not be more proud of this driven, determined... and BEAUTIFUL!... lady.
My name is also Natalie and I'm also a swimmer!! I'm so glad I cound this video
i swim, most probably far from a perfect technique and relatively to competitive swimmers, very slow.... but i beat the majority in one very important thing, its the passion of being in the water.... and you will feel it much more, that feeling at peace, calmness, hearing your own heartbeat, when you freedive and your down 30, 40m on a single breath
You free dive 40 meters????
I could ony do 16 m
I’ve been swimming for 9 years and it’s amazing!!! I’ve met 3 Olympic swimmers
I’m a swimmer, and I love her and this video thanks for sharing makes me want to go swim!
Totally awesome. I'm sure it did'nt come easy, but you did it. You DID IT. Huge Kudos..👏👏👏👏
This made me keep trying and keep swimming and to never give I have been swimming and going to swim meets at 4 years old and I love swimming
.... I've been tying up my hair whenever I put a swimming cap on which always left me me with awful headaches. I didn't realize you don't have to 😂
Same! but the thing is, in most pools you have to cover all of your hair because otherwise it might fall out and it would just be disgusting to see hair floating around. Especially in a public pool :))
I swim regularly too. Fabulously fast girl! Respect!
This is my favourite video of all ...I had competitions and video help me about i can focus in competition ....i know ...all swimmers want olympic swimmer ....i am crying because if you have people who are there you can go ....i am 12y/o and i started 10y/o...I believe i have a very good course ...I am from Greece (2019+)
This is really cool to watch because i've been to this pool for water polo games so many times lol
Nailed the feeling of swimming. I love how quiet it is.
She is great! Soo motivating!
Wow..she's really fast!...did it so effortlessly... how I wish I have 1/3 of that!
I loved it Natalie Coughlin. Super fantastic video. Very great!!!
beautiful!! *o* my life is swimming ♥
This is just how I feel I’m not an Olympian yet but I’ll get there someday and this is helping me get there
So beautiful. her form. her movement. amazing. the time she saves on the tumbles and just amazing.
At the beginning of swim season, I hate it and just want to die. But by the end I absolutely love it and the people I swim with. It becomes a part of you and I become one with the water in a way. I’ve felt what she has and it’s truly amazing
Her flip turns are amazing
I swim in a team and this video inspires me. I want to go to the Olympics and this absolutely motivates me ❤
Same! It would be a dream!
YOU NEVER GIVE UP GIRL! I ADMIRE YOU, YOU HAVE A VERY STRONG SPIRIT. KEEP YOU FIRE SHINING BRIGHT! ✨🔥✨
I am a swimmer and I am the only person who after practice wants to go again or swim on the weekend, there is something so great about being able to compete and have a place where you can be competitive
Wow! She moves like a dolphin 😍😘😍 that hop above the water at the end is so dope
Actually i was click to video for see her body, but now i really respect her. She really swims fast and cool
It doesn't look like swimming. This perfection is called art!!
You are amazing 😉 yes you don’t have to prove to no one but yourself! I love ❤️ your humbleness attitude!
I love swimming, so inspiring!
so beautiful, and so calming and healing.
I am also a competitive swimmer and this is how I feel in the water. I hope to go to the Olympics also.
Every time I watch this video, it makes me want to swim for ever❤
I am currently 25, ever since I turned 11 I have swam 4000m daily, never skipped a day.
'It's you and your thoughts' I definately do everything but thinking when swimming, thats why its so good.
faberho I hear Hans zimmer’s music in my ears on each breath in and out and my mind feeling relaxed and swimming is my therapy
Right can I just say something, the start when she says that swimming chose her not she chose swimming I agree and relate with and I agree with the whole of the video because swimming is just so amazing...
Her dolphin kick is goals
This video equally inspires me and demotivates me!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing 💙
Wow you are really amazing. I am a beginner in swimming. I hope to become like you in swimming. I wish you continued success in your life💗💗💗😍😍😍
She's amazing
You are a great swimmer 🏊🏼♀️God bless your soul.
Every successful athlete has the inner fire to be the best.
She makes it look so easy when it's so hard, that's how we know she's goooood

I am a swimmer and this just makes me think of why I am trying to go to the Olympics and just remember I'm 10 I live for swimming somthing that brought me down was this year (oh I'm also in acrobatics and soccer) I bone brused my back doing a trick and it made me have to stop swiming for a week (ik not that bad) but when I got back in I could dive in properly or flip turn but I've been working hard for a few months u got my flip and almost my dive AND I WONT GIVE UP😁
J'aime énormément cette fille et la natation merci pour le clip video ..very good for me.

Pure Grace
You go girl, well done! :)

Ati uttam.....
All I can see underwater is me drowning
Well done my Girl!!👍
I really wish I continued swimming when I was younger. I love the water now, but I missed an opportunity to continue a sport that I have loved for years.
Amazing great keep it up
Hey that's where I practice!! SODAAAA
OMG SHES AWESOME, HER MUSCLES AHHHHHH >_<
I have a 50 yard swim test I gotta pass and I’m a beginner who can’t afford classes. Any tips? My stamina is meh and I’m terrible at moving both my feet and arms at the same time properly :))))))
I am a 15 year old girl who used to be a swimmer when I was 7 years old in didn't enjoy swimming that much but now it is my dream to go back now and swim in miss swimming and competing with other children
She was a machine... strong body, perfect skills.
رائعة واسلوب شيق وطريقة تعامل مع الماء جيدة
Wow, she is incredible
I am on swim team, I have been for 6 years now. She is bomb
I fell in love with Natalie from this video. What a glorious woman.
Great video. Beautiful woman.
