I watched this video and went from doggy paddle to swimming 2 miles freestyle in 1h 20min in a single session. Took just a little over a month. I'm close to the size of the guy in the video. Watching someone my size do this was life changing! Thank you thank you thank you!
Wow, that's absolutely incredible progress! I'm thrilled to hear about your transformation from doggy paddle to swimming 2 miles freestyle in just over a month.

I am 58yrs old. I started swimming got drowned with a cramp in my leg about 10 yrs ago, two men saved me, and I stopped swimming. By God’s Grace I gathered confidence and started my swimming lessons again. Very thankful for this video with detailed explanation. Anyone out there like me, get into the pool.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm truly touched by your journey. It takes so much courage to get back in the water after such a scary experience. I’m so happy to hear that this video helped you regain confidence! Keep pushing forward with your lessons, and remember, swimming is a journey - you’ve already come so far! You’ve got this!
I love the pointers you mention. How much air to keep in the lungs. Don’t hold your breath during the drills. Take a breath before you need it. Chin higher than your forehead. These are the sayings that are helpful that the average teachers don’t mention. You help a lot of people with what you do. I love this video.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad my video was helpful. Keep practicing and don't hesitate to seek out additional resources if you need more support. Best of luck with your swimming!
I am 58 almost 59 years old and I started learning to swim last October and just love it!!! I'm still learning more and more every day. Im just having a hard time catching on to the breathing part. With more and more practice, I will eventually get it. Swimming has helped me so much with my knees. I was in constant pain until I got in the water on a regular basis. I recommend swimming to anybody with joint problems.
That's amazing to hear! It's never too late to learn and enjoy swimming. I'm glad it has been beneficial for you, especially in relieving knee pain. Keep up the great work and continue practicing. With time and dedication, you'll improve your breathing technique. Swimming is indeed a fantastic low-impact exercise for joint problems. I encourage you to keep enjoying your swimming journey and inspiring others with your progress. Happy swimming! 🏊♂️😊
As someone who learned swimming only in her 20s and been an occasional swimmer, I could never finish only one 25m lap of freestyle without being out of breath and exhausted. This video saved me. Today I could swim 200 m with minimum rest. It was such an improvement for me. Thank you for such helpful video. I’m grateful 😊
That's awesome progress! I am really happy that you could break the plateau. Keep practicing and you'll achieve even greater goals. Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
I’m only 37 minutes into the video. I tried some of the stuff out (look at the ground, chin above forehead, pineapple rolls, look behind when breathing, etc.). After half a lifetime of frustration it was like a breakthrough. Huge lightbulb went on. I began lapping my old self, immediately. FYI this is my first RUclips comment ever.
What an incredible journey you've just embarked on! It's absolutely fantastic to hear that the swimming tips and techniques you've tried from the video have already made such a significant difference. It's like discovering a whole new world in the pool, right? Your breakthrough moment shows your determination and willingness to learn. Keep it up, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more guidance along the way. Happy swimming, and thank you for sharing your experience with us! 🌊😊

I am 43 yo just started my swimming course alone, I've struggled a lot to improve my techniques in breathing until I came across your videos, that's awesome, I went straight to the pool and practised your advices, now I can say I know how to swim. Keep the great job up dude

recently became a swim instructor and this helps me so much when it comes to small details that the curriculum we have doesn’t cover. rocket swimming knows what’s up. also jonny’s passion and vibe remind me how cool my job is
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you are actively trying to learn and apply the techniques when teaching. This shows the dedication you have for swimming. Keep up the good work.
Loving this channel, this guy has smashed his learning. Just started my self as a 39yr old guy scared of the water and anytime I can’t feel the floor I just panic, had 3 lessons so far and making massive strides already and can’t wait to use tips from this video to help
That's fantastic to hear! It sounds like you're making great progress. Keep practicing, stay consistent, and don't be discouraged by any initial challenges. With determination and the right guidance, you'll continue to improve your swimming skills. If you have any questions or need more tips along the way, feel free to ask. Enjoy your swimming journey!
Learned front crawl and breaststroke in one year from last July as my reward for retiring. I watched youtube coaches. I go to the pool almost everyday. Now I put in 1500m each pool time. 400m is with paddles. Sometimes i use fins and snorkel to circle the pool. Sometimes i use a float belt to jog in deep end. I can bi breathing even though it took a lot of time and frustration to get good at both sides. I was afraid of water but always wanted to tackle the fear. I lost 25lb since I got into swimming. I can sing way better than before. I am tanned without trying. I want to get good at back stroke, flip kick, butterfly, and open water. It may take years but I am retired and have nothing to lose.
That's an incredible journey you've embarked on in just one year! Learning front crawl and breaststroke, conquering your fear of water, and even improving your fitness and overall well-being is truly commendable. Keep up that positive attitude, and enjoy your retirement to the fullest by exploring the world of swimming and its various strokes. It may take time, but every stroke and lap you practice will bring you closer to your goals. Swimming is not just about physical prowess; it's also a wonderful way to embrace a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Keep swimming and enjoying the journey! 🏊♂️💪😊
Hi Johnny, Love from India. I've always enjoyed being in the pool and wanted to learn to swim since I was a child. My parents were always against it claiming that if I learned to swim in a pool, I would be overconfident and jump into the ocean or the river, while I go out with my friends and drown. Two years back I made the decision to learn and started taking swimming lessons. They taught me with a air filled tube around my body. They never taught me how to breathe and freestyle was taught with my head outside the water. They never taught me how to swim with my head submerged. I was struggling with freestyle and I finally quit after 2 months. I thought I would never be able to swim. I came across your videos recently and practiced your drills. I am swimming now!!! I feel like I am gliding through water with very little effort. I am no where near perfect but I can feel that I have improved. Swimming coaches always tells us what to do, but what you do differently is that you tell us how each of our actions are supposed to feel. This a rare method, but it is very effective. I am able to correlate the feelings and correct myself if something feels wrong. I am extremely thankful for your videos, and I can accomplish my long lost dream now. Thanks a lot!!.
It's wonderful to see your determination and the progress you've made in learning to swim. I assume that swimming is still not a mainstream sport in India and it's rare to find qualified swim instructors. It'll improve in few years as swimming as a sport and recreational activity is starting to pickup. What's great is that you have learned to overcome the obstacles. I am really glad that you have stumbled across my channel and learned swimming by watching my videos. My goal is to teach swimming to everyone in this planet and online videos is the best way to reach people across the world. Remember that progress in swimming, like any skill, takes time and practice, and it's fantastic that you're determined to accomplish your long-lost dream of swimming. Keep up the good work, stay safe in the water, and continue enjoying your swimming journey. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Happy swimming!
I'm glad to hear that my coaching style was motivating for you. I believe in the power of positivity and encouragement to help athletes reach their goals. Keep working hard and don't forget to have fun!
Im 20yrs old from india...bro...your are just amazing..i dont have words to thank you....explaining swimming in so much simple words and concepts made me fly in pool❤❤❤❤❤
you’re an amazing teacher. like most people here in the comments, i took swimming lessons some time ago but didn’t really learn much from it. just watching your video and immediately applying the drills and techniques made a huge difference in my training! i can now do a full 25m lap without having to stop to catch my breath which is saying a lot as just a week ago, i can barely finish half. thank you so much, i hope your channel gets all the attention that it deserves +1M subs!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It's truly rewarding to know that my video has made such a difference in your training. Congratulations! Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me, and I'm grateful for your wish for the channel's success. With dedicated learners like you, I'm confident that we'll continue to grow and reach even more people on their swimming journeys. Keep up the fantastic work, and if you ever need more tips or guidance, don't hesitate to reach out. 🏊♂️💪😊
This video is probably going to a be a game changer for me, changing me from a fearful, frustrated learner to a comfortable and confident swimmer. Thank you so much for taking this effort and time to share these tips to the world!!
The quality of both the instruction and the video is excellent! And your generosity of sharing it on RUclips is really appreciated. I am going to try the first couple drills tomorrow.
Thank you very much! My goal is that everyone should learn swimming and I teach the entire world. Did you watch the latest how to swim videos? ruclips.net/video/Hl6xSFB80E4/видео.html Also, let me know how your drills goes, okay?
This is a brilliant video. I’m so glad I found it. I’m 55 and I always thought I knew how to swim until I realised I was just floating about in the water! I’ve just started taking swimming seriously and so keen to learn. Thanks to your video I’m starting to practice the correct technique. Thank you !
That's great to hear! It's never too late to learn and improve your swimming technique. Keep practicing and you'll continue to make progress. Enjoy your swimming journey!
Happy to found this video on the last day of my swimming class I am proud to say I’ve learned how to swim and feel pretty confident about new skills I’ve learned. At the age 20 year old I went diving off boat with no experience or no swimming experience for that matter and tried to learn how to swim immediately when I drifted a way from the boat while feeding the fishes lol I was able to get back to the 🛥️ (no one else was around everyone went scuba diving ) while I was busy 🤿 🐠 From that adventure I’ve became in love with the ocean (all the amazing sea creatures)
That's an incredible adventure! Your determination and love for the ocean shine through. Keep enjoying your swimming journey, and maybe one day, you'll become a master of both the pool and the sea! 🏊♂️🌊🐠
You're never too old to learn new skills, and I'm thrilled to hear that you're taking the initiative to learn swimming at 57! I'm glad my teaching approach has been helpful for you. Keep practicing, stay patient, and remember that progress is the key. If you have any questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Happy swimming and keep up the great work! 🏊♂️👍
Brother. This is the best instruction I've ever seen. I'm not a terrible swimmer by any means but with your concise teaching, I can improve where I struggle.
Thank you for the high praise! Remember, even experienced swimmers can find new ways to refine their technique. Keep embracing the learning process, and you’re sure to see improvements in the areas you’re working on. Swimming strong!

Wow ! Big thanks to this video right here and a lot of other helpful videos on this channel. These instructions really evolved my understanding of swimming and how to swim. Before watching these, I just jumped into the pool imitating what a swimmer would do. But now I am able to swim properly and more efficiently. Passed my swim test with ease !

This is the perfect video for me at this moment, I'm trying to breathe and turn my head and lay on my side and hold it. These videos are my coach when I go to the pool and practice. I'm 2 week in at age 56 and I can see my progress. Thank you.😊
I'm so glad to hear that my videos are helping you! You're making great progress, and practice will only help you get better. Keep at it, and you'll see even more improvement! 😊 Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
Im learning to swim at the Y as an adult and i learned so much more here than i did there it makes me eager to get back in the water and not be as afraid
That's fantastic to hear! Learning to swim as an adult can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. I'm glad that my videos have been helpful in your journey and have made you more confident in the water. Overcoming fear is a big step, and I'm proud of you for being eager to dive back in. Remember, progress takes time and patience, but you're on the right track. Keep up the enthusiasm and keep pushing your boundaries. You've got this! Happy swimming, and enjoy every moment of your aquatic adventures! 🌊🏊♂️😄
I have no words to express how amazing coach you are!. wonderful to look at you when you are teaching . It is so easy to understand clearly , and fantastic message your lesson. thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! I really appreciate it. I'm very happy that you're enjoying the lessons and finding value in them. If you ever have any questions or need further guidance, don't hesitate to reach out. Keep up the fantastic work, and happy swimming! 🏊♂️😊
I must say man this is a beautiful place to learn how to swim, the pool, the ambience. I think it really helps with getting over the fear of water. I’ve always found a giant pool indoors very intimidating, almost like you’re in a dome with a very dark undertone. The sunshine and view here definitely makes it look more comfortable for beginners. This is so important, I wish I could learn from you but I’m in Australia 😂
Thank you so much for your kind words! Creating a comfortable and inviting space is crucial, especially for those overcoming the fear of water. I completely understand the sentiment about large indoor pools feeling intimidating, and I'm pleased that our setting appears more welcoming to beginners. It's unfortunate that we're miles apart in Australia, but I appreciate your virtual presence and support! If there's anything specific you'd like to see or learn about in future videos, please feel free to share. Happy swimming down under! 😄🏊♂️
@@RocketSwimming thanks for the reply Johnny! Definitely will do, the content on the channel is amazing 🤩 I’ll be in Texas early next summer, would love to tee something up! If you’re ever free around that time please give a hoot! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your encouragement means a lot, and it motivates me to continue providing helpful content. Stay tuned for more, and happy swimming!
I´ve watched the lessons and technics and I've learned a lot from both of you. Moreover I'm really impressed how Mr. Mark became so well consistent in his swimming practising and going so well each steps! Congratulations for both of you.

Congratulations Mark 👍👏 and Rocket Swimming keep it up, I learned a lot Yes I am going on a cruise. I do know the basic...but need to learn far more especially Free style 🤔...ty again you "Rocked"!
Thank you so much for creating these clear, concise and detailed videos Jonny!! It has been a life long goal of mine to learn how to swim. I am now taking swimming lessons but your videos are among the best at reinforcing key concepts and giving excellent tips. Some people are great swimmers but cannot teach. You, though, are an excellent and natural instructor. Your knowledge, experience and passion/love for swimming shine through in all of your videos. This is your unique gift and calling. I am so glad that you found it and are helping and inspiring thousands of people worldwide. What we give, we get back. Kudos too to the videographer.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! Swimming has always been a passion of mine, and knowing that it’s making a difference for you makes it all the more rewarding. And I’ll definitely pass along your kind words to our team - they’re a huge part of bringing these videos to life.
Hi Rocket Swimming, I am from India, I learnt how to swim by watching and following the instructions given in your videos very religiously, yup, it took some time, spent many hours in and under the water. A huge thanks for creating such awesome content and helping people who wanna learn swimming. Cheers!
Wow that's really amazing! I am really glad that we have many viewers from India and they are taking swimming seriously. I am proud of your progress. Keep me posted.
I have been teaching myself to swim for the past few weeks following these drills. It has done wonders for me! Can’t thank you enough for this awesome instruction!!
All along I’ve been kicking wrong and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong . This video taught me to kick the water away from me …. Seems small but it’s like a light bulb came on for me … just want to say thank you so much . God bless
I'm so glad the video helped you have that light bulb moment! Kicking correctly can make a huge difference. Keep practicing, and you’ll continue to improve. Thank you for the kind words, and God bless you too!
I gotta say thank you, really appreciate the emphasis on basics - things that might seem obvious to some people, but not to others... so helpful. Great work.
Thank you for the kind words! Mark is working hard to improve his swimming skills, and it's great to see that it's paying off. We appreciate your support! - Niraj (CDO)
you have a wonderful way of teaching..I'm watching your videos and im really getting on grand..you are amazing..thanks so much ..listening from Ireland 🇮🇪..🎉
Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you find the lessons helpful. Keep up the great work with your swimming, and greetings to you from Ireland! 🏊♂️🇮🇪🎉
Thank you for your video. I've finally learned how to stroke and breath. I was trying to do actions perfect first. But thanks to you, I've recognized It is not the correct way. Firstly just do the actions, improve the actions later. I am gonna teach to my children.
You're on the right track! Sometimes it's best to focus on getting the basics down first. Teaching your children is a wonderful idea too! Keep up the good work and happy swimming! 🏊♂️👏😊
Very well said we blow out all the air when in water so 90pc full n just some amount blowing out makes huge difference. Will follow now on as was doing same mistake as he mentioned . EXCELLENT EXPLANATION OF STEP BY STEP LEARNING TO GET BETTER AT SWIMMING. This video is so helpful not just for complete beginners but also who are still practicing to get perfect .
@@RocketSwimming thank you for responding. Yesterday I tried swimming keeping in mind all the points you mentioned however I'm not able to master the side breathing correctly . I exhale some amount in water but when turn head to inhale I'm not able to inhale enough to move forward then after two arm rotation or crawl I feel desperate to inhale and stop mid way in pool and inhale and start again . Can you show us a video on just free style breathing on the side. Some how not able to get it
@@p.sseshan4168 I will give you the links to 3 videos. Make sure you watch them and practice the technique.

@@RocketSwimming thank you so much for your concern and initiative to help others . Really appreciate it , God bless you . I'll surely look at the videos and incorporate it in my practice . Even by joining swimming classes they couldn't help teach people the specifications with which u explain. Thanks to the world of RUclips n social media today we can get so much to learn from experts like you in different country and learn to master a life saving skill .
I’m 41 and interested in getting better at swimming. I never knew half of the stuff you’re teaching I have a disability involving my right arm but I bel I can become a good swimmer. Thanks for your videos ❤
You're welcome! Keep it up and be patient. It takes time and practice to become perfect with the technique. Don't forget to check out the latest video ruclips.net/video/BgdmF14tIJU/видео.html
Thank you so much! Keep your fin on and work on your arms, then use kickboard to learn strong kicking. You need to work on every part of your body to perfect the stroke.
Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that the drills are helping you. Keep at it, and feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions or need more tips. You’ve got this!
It's great to hear that you were able to find drills that resonated with you. Swimming is all about finding what works best for you and your unique strengths. Keep experimenting and focusing on the drills that help you improve the most. - Niraj (CDO)
Just to explain, I do suffer from progressive joint disorders and chronic illnesses. I was extremely active for the past few years, but it progressively got worse. The pool has been my saving grace. I am a slow swimmer but i am learning
Keep it slow and treat swimming as a recreational activity. Make sure to consult a professional for any chronic illness or joint issues. Don't ignore the medical conditions as it may cause further problems in future. Keep me updated.
I am new to swimming and been struggling with my technique. I watch your videos and made a massive improvement on my swimming. Keep it up and thank you for the tutorials, greetings from Ireland! 🤙

Happy I found this channel and this video. Good i learned how to float before (*funny but it was a 10-yr old niece of my officemate in pool during an office summer outing who taught me not to be afraid so I would not sink. That I need to lift my chin so I don't take in water. I grew up in the city where we didn't go swimming as a family) and even if underwater use breastroke but freestyle kicks when I got washed away by an undertow. My officemates were calling me to join them already on the beach & I remembered I just used 2 sets of left & right arm strokes then afloat my head to breathe but when I turned around I couldn't touch the sand anymore. Underwater I did straight legs kick and fast breakstroke arms and was tired until I saw the legs of my female officemate and threaded water to reach the seashore & coughed. One guy officemate was even shouting to me I've drank a lot of water. When I look at my female officemate, she was far back from the group, so that mesnt I was even farther than her. What went on my mind when I couldn't touch the sand was this is not the way I'm going to die. So even if I"m not really a swimner, in fact recently learned that time to float but watching swimming at Olympic Games, I imitated the movements. Thank God just when I was feeling exhausted, I saw my officemate's legs. All the while I swam underwater holding my breath because I don't know how to breathe like in divimg. Through your drills, I know know now the half pineapple how to breath on side, and the claw which I saw in swimmers, and the body swaying while pushing away water. I get tired easily because I didn't know the ok hand and really push water with opem palms. And not needed to have my whole body up over the water as I thought seeing swimmers look like that. Thank you.

New subscriber and learning to be a competent swimmer…watching your lessons, some more than once. Helps to see you teaching a non swimmer and your comments. Thanks. I’m learning so much…I can take what I’ve learned to the pool. Simple things such as breathing…❤. Captions helpful as reminders. Example of helpful info is reasons to use the kick board and stretch out…then pick your head up
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our swimming lessons and for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you find Jonny's teaching helpful and that you're learning so much. Remember to always take it slow and steady when learning to swim, and don't be afraid to take breaks when you need to.

@@RocketSwimming I’ll stay in touch as I progress…our small city has a first class Y with pool and plenty of lap time and attentive life guards. I’ve got goggles and fins. I hope this encourages anyone who has fears or is shy about “trying”…these videos will help anyone succeed in small steps… I started out with pool volleyball and aqua fit classes 3x week. Thank you Rocket Man!
It's great to hear that you're making progress with your swimming and that you have access to a great pool with attentive lifeguards. It's also encouraging to hear that you started with activities like pool volleyball and aqua fit classes - those can be a fun way to ease into swimming and build up confidence in the water. Your positive attitude and willingness to take small steps is definitely an inspiration for others who may be hesitant to try swimming. Keep up the great work, and I hope you continue to enjoy your swimming journey! - Niraj (CDO)

Hi Rocket! I would like to ask you two questions for beginning to swim: I tried to use kick board to kick but go nowhere. I mean not move forward? and why I feel tired easily? please let me know why if you have time. I really enjoy watching your video, very details and helpful. thank you very much for useful and helpful video.
I guess you're bending your knees too much. Try to kick from your hips like a wave motion and your feet should be near the surface. Boil the water with your feet. Try this technique and let me know how it goes for you, okay?
Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy to hear that the side pineapple technique works for you. It’s important to swim in a way that is comfortable and safe for your body. Keep enjoying the water and have fun! 🍍
I’m back to watch this video , I’ve share it with my friends in swimming class ☺️ all they say was ohhhh look how easy to be honest we all use to try so hard to get this side swim

I watched this video and went from doggy paddle to swimming 2 miles freestyle in 1h 20min in a single session. Took just a little over a month. I'm close to the size of the guy in the video. Watching someone my size do this was life changing! Thank you thank you thank you!
Wow, that's absolutely incredible progress! I'm thrilled to hear about your transformation from doggy paddle to swimming 2 miles freestyle in just over a month.

I am 58yrs old. I started swimming got drowned with a cramp in my leg about 10 yrs ago, two men saved me, and I stopped swimming. By God’s Grace I gathered confidence and started my swimming lessons again. Very thankful for this video with detailed explanation.
Anyone out there like me, get into the pool.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm truly touched by your journey. It takes so much courage to get back in the water after such a scary experience. I’m so happy to hear that this video helped you regain confidence! Keep pushing forward with your lessons, and remember, swimming is a journey - you’ve already come so far! You’ve got this!
I love the pointers you mention. How much air to keep in the lungs. Don’t hold your breath during the drills. Take a breath before you need it. Chin higher than your forehead. These are the sayings that are helpful that the average teachers don’t mention. You help a lot of people with what you do. I love this video.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you watched the entire video and loved the little details. Keep me posted on your progress.

I've learnt more watching this video than I have had of nearly a year of 1 hour swimming lessons, kind of makes me angry, amazing job.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad my video was helpful. Keep practicing and don't hesitate to seek out additional resources if you need more support. Best of luck with your swimming!
@@RocketSwimmingqq😊
I am 58 almost 59 years old and I started learning to swim last October and just love it!!! I'm still learning more and more every day. Im just having a hard time catching on to the breathing part. With more and more practice, I will eventually get it. Swimming has helped me so much with my knees. I was in constant pain until I got in the water on a regular basis. I recommend swimming to anybody with joint problems.
That's amazing to hear! It's never too late to learn and enjoy swimming. I'm glad it has been beneficial for you, especially in relieving knee pain. Keep up the great work and continue practicing. With time and dedication, you'll improve your breathing technique. Swimming is indeed a fantastic low-impact exercise for joint problems. I encourage you to keep enjoying your swimming journey and inspiring others with your progress. Happy swimming! 🏊♂️😊
I enjoyed watching your coaching style 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤😂
I feel SO GLAD whenever I hear that people are learning skills. It's not too late. WELL DONE congratulations for EVERYTHING
WELL DONE 😊congratulations
I'm too fat to float ive stage 4 osteoarthritis
As someone who learned swimming only in her 20s and been an occasional swimmer, I could never finish only one 25m lap of freestyle without being out of breath and exhausted. This video saved me. Today I could swim 200 m with minimum rest. It was such an improvement for me. Thank you for such helpful video. I’m grateful 😊
That's awesome progress! I am really happy that you could break the plateau. Keep practicing and you'll achieve even greater goals. Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
I’m only 37 minutes into the video. I tried some of the stuff out (look at the ground, chin above forehead, pineapple rolls, look behind when breathing, etc.). After half a lifetime of frustration it was like a breakthrough. Huge lightbulb went on. I began lapping my old self, immediately. FYI this is my first RUclips comment ever.
What an incredible journey you've just embarked on! It's absolutely fantastic to hear that the swimming tips and techniques you've tried from the video have already made such a significant difference. It's like discovering a whole new world in the pool, right? Your breakthrough moment shows your determination and willingness to learn. Keep it up, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more guidance along the way. Happy swimming, and thank you for sharing your experience with us! 🌊😊

Great tips, I am also learning how to swim. Is Mark wearing flippers? Can I wear a life vest to help me float as I learn to swim?
Can I book this same 4 day lesson with you?

I am 43 yo just started my swimming course alone, I've struggled a lot to improve my techniques in breathing until I came across your videos, that's awesome, I went straight to the pool and practised your advices, now I can say I know how to swim. Keep the great job up dude
That's fantastic to hear! I'm so glad my videos were helpful in improving your breathing technique and overall swimming skills. It's never too late to learn, and I'm proud of your determination and progress! Keep up the great work, and I wish you many enjoyable swims ahead. Thank you for the kind words, and happy swimming! 🏊♂️
recently became a swim instructor and this helps me so much when it comes to small details that the curriculum we have doesn’t cover. rocket swimming knows what’s up. also jonny’s passion and vibe remind me how cool my job is
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you are actively trying to learn and apply the techniques when teaching. This shows the dedication you have for swimming. Keep up the good work.
Loving this channel, this guy has smashed his learning. Just started my self as a 39yr old guy scared of the water and anytime I can’t feel the floor I just panic, had 3 lessons so far and making massive strides already and can’t wait to use tips from this video to help
That's fantastic to hear! It sounds like you're making great progress. Keep practicing, stay consistent, and don't be discouraged by any initial challenges. With determination and the right guidance, you'll continue to improve your swimming skills. If you have any questions or need more tips along the way, feel free to ask. Enjoy your swimming journey!
I am a beginner swimmer and have learnt so much from your videos - greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Great to hear! I am really proud of you. Keep up the great work and update me on your progress from time to time.
Learned front crawl and breaststroke in one year from last July as my reward for retiring. I watched youtube coaches. I go to the pool almost everyday. Now I put in 1500m each pool time. 400m is with paddles. Sometimes i use fins and snorkel to circle the pool. Sometimes i use a float belt to jog in deep end. I can bi breathing even though it took a lot of time and frustration to get good at both sides. I was afraid of water but always wanted to tackle the fear. I lost 25lb since I got into swimming. I can sing way better than before. I am tanned without trying. I want to get good at back stroke, flip kick, butterfly, and open water. It may take years but I am retired and have nothing to lose.
That's an incredible journey you've embarked on in just one year! Learning front crawl and breaststroke, conquering your fear of water, and even improving your fitness and overall well-being is truly commendable. Keep up that positive attitude, and enjoy your retirement to the fullest by exploring the world of swimming and its various strokes. It may take time, but every stroke and lap you practice will bring you closer to your goals. Swimming is not just about physical prowess; it's also a wonderful way to embrace a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Keep swimming and enjoying the journey! 🏊♂️💪😊
Hi Johnny,
Love from India. I've always enjoyed being in the pool and wanted to learn to swim since I was a child. My parents were always against it claiming that if I learned to swim in a pool, I would be overconfident and jump into the ocean or the river, while I go out with my friends and drown. Two years back I made the decision to learn and started taking swimming lessons. They taught me with a air filled tube around my body. They never taught me how to breathe and freestyle was taught with my head outside the water. They never taught me how to swim with my head submerged. I was struggling with freestyle and I finally quit after 2 months. I thought I would never be able to swim.
I came across your videos recently and practiced your drills. I am swimming now!!! I feel like I am gliding through water with very little effort. I am no where near perfect but I can feel that I have improved. Swimming coaches always tells us what to do, but what you do differently is that you tell us how each of our actions are supposed to feel. This a rare method, but it is very effective. I am able to correlate the feelings and correct myself if something feels wrong. I am extremely thankful for your videos, and I can accomplish my long lost dream now. Thanks a lot!!.
It's wonderful to see your determination and the progress you've made in learning to swim.
I assume that swimming is still not a mainstream sport in India and it's rare to find qualified swim instructors. It'll improve in few years as swimming as a sport and recreational activity is starting to pickup.
What's great is that you have learned to overcome the obstacles. I am really glad that you have stumbled across my channel and learned swimming by watching my videos. My goal is to teach swimming to everyone in this planet and online videos is the best way to reach people across the world.
Remember that progress in swimming, like any skill, takes time and practice, and it's fantastic that you're determined to accomplish your long-lost dream of swimming. Keep up the good work, stay safe in the water, and continue enjoying your swimming journey. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Happy swimming!
Your coaching style is so positive and encouraging. I feel motivated to keep working on my swimming skills after watching this video.
I'm glad to hear that my coaching style was motivating for you. I believe in the power of positivity and encouragement to help athletes reach their goals. Keep working hard and don't forget to have fun!
@@RocketSwimming l like how you teach..... Your are best teacher in the world from Tanzania (Zanzibar)

He's a trooper because he sounds like he's congested too. It has to be hard getting through the lessons. Great teamwork guys👏🏽👏🏽
True! Thank you so much for your kind words.
you’re an amazing teacher. like most people here in the comments, i took swimming lessons some time ago but didn’t really learn much from it. just watching your video and immediately applying the drills and techniques made a huge difference in my training! i can now do a full 25m lap without having to stop to catch my breath which is saying a lot as just a week ago, i can barely finish half. thank you so much, i hope your channel gets all the attention that it deserves +1M subs!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It's truly rewarding to know that my video has made such a difference in your training. Congratulations! Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me, and I'm grateful for your wish for the channel's success. With dedicated learners like you, I'm confident that we'll continue to grow and reach even more people on their swimming journeys. Keep up the fantastic work, and if you ever need more tips or guidance, don't hesitate to reach out. 🏊♂️💪😊
This video is probably going to a be a game changer for me, changing me from a fearful, frustrated learner to a comfortable and confident swimmer. Thank you so much for taking this effort and time to share these tips to the world!!
You got this! I am really glad that you found this video to be a game changer. Keep me posted on your progress.
The quality of both the instruction and the video is excellent! And your generosity of sharing it on RUclips is really appreciated. I am going to try the first couple drills tomorrow.
Thank you very much! My goal is that everyone should learn swimming and I teach the entire world. Did you watch the latest how to swim videos? ruclips.net/video/Hl6xSFB80E4/видео.html
Also, let me know how your drills goes, okay?
❤❤❤❤❤@@RocketSwimming
This is a brilliant video. I’m so glad I found it. I’m 55 and I always thought I knew how to swim until I realised I was just floating about in the water! I’ve just started taking swimming seriously and so keen to learn. Thanks to your video I’m starting to practice the correct technique. Thank you !
That's great to hear! It's never too late to learn and improve your swimming technique. Keep practicing and you'll continue to make progress. Enjoy your swimming journey!
Happy to found this video on the last day of my swimming class I am proud to say I’ve learned how to swim and feel pretty confident about new skills I’ve learned. At the age 20 year old I went diving off boat with no experience or no swimming experience for that matter and tried to learn how to swim immediately when I drifted a way from the boat while feeding the fishes lol I was able to get back to the 🛥️ (no one else was around everyone went scuba diving ) while I was busy 🤿 🐠
From that adventure I’ve became in love with the ocean (all the amazing sea creatures)
That's an incredible adventure! Your determination and love for the ocean shine through. Keep enjoying your swimming journey, and maybe one day, you'll become a master of both the pool and the sea! 🏊♂️🌊🐠
@@RocketSwimming thank you🫶✨!!!
I'm 57 years old and keeping learning swimming , your method of teaching very simple and professional thanks coach for your instructive videos.
You're never too old to learn new skills, and I'm thrilled to hear that you're taking the initiative to learn swimming at 57! I'm glad my teaching approach has been helpful for you.

Brother. This is the best instruction I've ever seen. I'm not a terrible swimmer by any means but with your concise teaching, I can improve where I struggle.
Thank you for the high praise! Remember, even experienced swimmers can find new ways to refine their technique. Keep embracing the learning process, and you’re sure to see improvements in the areas you’re working on. Swimming strong!
i really like this training section. Its very educative, simple and there's less of body contact. i wish most trainers did that.
Your positive feedback means a lot. I believe in making education accessible and straightforward, and it's great to know that you found the content both informative and easy to follow. If there are specific topics or techniques you'd like to see more of, feel free to let me know. Thank you for your support and kind words!
I’m doing this tomorrow in the pool. I think this will get my confidence up and I can get over that fear to actual want to learn and enjoy
How did your swim session go? Keep me posted on your progress.
Wow ! Big thanks to this video right here and a lot of other helpful videos on this channel. These instructions really evolved my understanding of swimming and how to swim. Before watching these, I just jumped into the pool imitating what a swimmer would do. But now I am able to swim properly and more efficiently. Passed my swim test with ease !
That's fantastic to hear! Congratulations on passing your swim test and improving your swimming skills. It's great to know that the instructional videos and guidance from the channel have been helpful in evolving your understanding of swimming and allowing you to swim properly and efficiently. Keep up the good work, and continue practicing and refining your technique. Swimming is a valuable life skill and a great way to stay active and enjoy the water.

This is the perfect video for me at this moment, I'm trying to breathe and turn my head and lay on my side and hold it. These videos are my coach when I go to the pool and practice. I'm 2 week in at age 56 and I can see my progress. Thank you.😊
I'm so glad to hear that my videos are helping you! You're making great progress, and practice will only help you get better. Keep at it, and you'll see even more improvement! 😊 Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
Im learning to swim at the Y as an adult and i learned so much more here than i did there it makes me eager to get back in the water and not be as afraid
That's fantastic to hear! Learning to swim as an adult can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. I'm glad that my videos have been helpful in your journey and have made you more confident in the water. Overcoming fear is a big step, and I'm proud of you for being eager to dive back in.

I must say man this is a beautiful place to learn how to swim, the pool, the ambience. I think it really helps with getting over the fear of water. I’ve always found a giant pool indoors very intimidating, almost like you’re in a dome with a very dark undertone. The sunshine and view here definitely makes it look more comfortable for beginners. This is so important, I wish I could learn from you but I’m in Australia 😂
Thank you so much for your kind words! Creating a comfortable and inviting space is crucial, especially for those overcoming the fear of water. I completely understand the sentiment about large indoor pools feeling intimidating, and I'm pleased that our setting appears more welcoming to beginners. It's unfortunate that we're miles apart in Australia, but I appreciate your virtual presence and support! If there's anything specific you'd like to see or learn about in future videos, please feel free to share. Happy swimming down under! 😄🏊♂️
@@RocketSwimming thanks for the reply Johnny! Definitely will do, the content on the channel is amazing 🤩 I’ll be in Texas early next summer, would love to tee something up! If you’re ever free around that time please give a hoot! 😊

Thank you so much for creating these clear, concise and detailed videos Jonny!! It has been a life long goal of mine to learn how to swim. I am now taking swimming lessons but your videos are among the best at reinforcing key concepts and giving excellent tips. Some people are great swimmers but cannot teach. You, though, are an excellent and natural instructor. Your knowledge, experience and passion/love for swimming shine through in all of your videos. This is your unique gift and calling. I am so glad that you found it and are helping and inspiring thousands of people worldwide. What we give, we get back. Kudos too to the videographer.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! Swimming has always been a passion of mine, and knowing that it’s making a difference for you makes it all the more rewarding. And I’ll definitely pass along your kind words to our team - they’re a huge part of bringing these videos to life.
Your passion most certainly shines through. Excellent and informative video. 😊
Hi Rocket Swimming, I am from India, I learnt how to swim by watching and following the instructions given in your videos very religiously, yup, it took some time, spent many hours in and under the water. A huge thanks for creating such awesome content and helping people who wanna learn swimming. Cheers!
Wow that's really amazing! I am really glad that we have many viewers from India and they are taking swimming seriously. I am proud of your progress. Keep me posted.

Thank you so much!
This is one of the best videos for anyone learning to swim. I wish he could post smaller videos from each section. But incredible work!!!
Smaller videos are coming soon from this video. That will be useful for most people. Thank you so much for your compliments.
This video helped me a lot, i was sinking every time i was trying to breath but now i am doing much better.
Thank you so much! I am glad that you found this video helpful. Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
I have been teaching myself to swim for the past few weeks following these drills. It has done wonders for me! Can’t thank you enough for this awesome instruction!!
That's so cool! I really appreciate your kind words. Please keep me posted on your progress.
Just got some encouragement from you cause I'm also taking lessons alone at 39
All along I’ve been kicking wrong and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong . This video taught me to kick the water away from me …. Seems small but it’s like a light bulb came on for me … just want to say thank you so much . God bless
I'm so glad the video helped you have that light bulb moment! Kicking correctly can make a huge difference. Keep practicing, and you’ll continue to improve. Thank you for the kind words, and God bless you too!
I gotta say thank you, really appreciate the emphasis on basics - things that might seem obvious to some people, but not to others... so helpful. Great work.

Thank you for your video. I've finally learned how to stroke and breath. I was trying to do actions perfect first. But thanks to you, I've recognized It is not the correct way. Firstly just do the actions, improve the actions later. I am gonna teach to my children.
You're on the right track! Sometimes it's best to focus on getting the basics down first. Teaching your children is a wonderful idea too! Keep up the good work and happy swimming! 🏊♂️👏😊
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾You are the best at explaining and breaking it down and explaining breathing & the stokes 👍🏾
I really appreciate your positive feedback!
Very well said we blow out all the air when in water so 90pc full n just some amount blowing out makes huge difference. Will follow now on as was doing same mistake as he mentioned . EXCELLENT EXPLANATION OF STEP BY STEP LEARNING TO GET BETTER AT SWIMMING. This video is so helpful not just for complete beginners but also who are still practicing to get perfect .
Thank you so much for such a great comment! I really appreciate it. Keep me posted on your progress, okay?
@@RocketSwimming thank you for responding. Yesterday I tried swimming keeping in mind all the points you mentioned however I'm not able to master the side breathing correctly . I exhale some amount in water but when turn head to inhale I'm not able to inhale enough to move forward then after two arm rotation or crawl I feel desperate to inhale and stop mid way in pool and inhale and start again . Can you show us a video on just free style breathing on the side. Some how not able to get it

Semper Fi brother. We all understand once you swim qualify it's a wrap. Good you're learning.
This is amazing, thank you!
You're very welcome! I am glad that you found this video helpful.
This is such a great video. We are required to learn swimming and this helps a lot
Thank you so much! Keep me posted on your progress.
Great video. I managed everything on here and had built my confidence up a lot. Then I took my fins off......and now I sink like an anchor.
Thank you so much! Keep your fin on and work on your arms, then use kickboard to learn strong kicking. You need to work on every part of your body to perfect the stroke.
Try relax your ankles when you kick. A lot of people struggle with proper kick technique. Avoid flex your ankles at any time for flutter kick.
Best tutorial ... i am following the drills to improve my technique as an adult beginner swimmer.
Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that the drills are helping you. Keep at it, and feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions or need more tips. You’ve got this!
The variety of drills included in this video was great. I was able to find a few that really resonated with me and will be focusing on in my training.
It's great to hear that you were able to find drills that resonated with you. Swimming is all about finding what works best for you and your unique strengths. Keep experimenting and focusing on the drills that help you improve the most.

Just to explain, I do suffer from progressive joint disorders and chronic illnesses.
I was extremely active for the past few years, but it progressively got worse. The pool has been my saving grace. I am a slow swimmer but i am learning
Keep it slow and treat swimming as a recreational activity. Make sure to consult a professional for any chronic illness or joint issues. Don't ignore the medical conditions as it may cause further problems in future. Keep me updated.
I am new to swimming and been struggling with my technique. I watch your videos and made a massive improvement on my swimming. Keep it up and thank you for the tutorials, greetings from Ireland! 🤙

Happy I found this channel and this video. Good i learned how to float before (*funny but it was a 10-yr old niece of my officemate in pool during an office summer outing who taught me not to be afraid so I would not sink. That I need to lift my chin so I don't take in water. I grew up in the city where we didn't go swimming as a family) and even if underwater use breastroke but freestyle kicks when I got washed away by an undertow. My officemates were calling me to join them already on the beach & I remembered I just used 2 sets of left & right arm strokes then afloat my head to breathe but when I turned around I couldn't touch the sand anymore. Underwater I did straight legs kick and fast breakstroke arms and was tired until I saw the legs of my female officemate and threaded water to reach the seashore & coughed. One guy officemate was even shouting to me I've drank a lot of water. When I look at my female officemate, she was far back from the group, so that mesnt I was even farther than her. What went on my mind when I couldn't touch the sand was this is not the way I'm going to die. So even if I"m not really a swimner, in fact recently learned that time to float but watching swimming at Olympic Games, I imitated the movements. Thank God just when I was feeling exhausted, I saw my officemate's legs. All the while I swam underwater holding my breath because I don't know how to breathe like in divimg. Through your drills, I know know now the half pineapple how to breath on side, and the claw which I saw in swimmers, and the body swaying while pushing away water. I get tired easily because I didn't know the ok hand and really push water with opem palms. And not needed to have my whole body up over the water as I thought seeing swimmers look like that. Thank you.
You're welcome! What a fun and awesome story!

New subscriber and learning to be a competent swimmer…watching your lessons, some more than once. Helps to see you teaching a non swimmer and your comments. Thanks. I’m learning so much…I can take what I’ve learned to the pool. Simple things such as breathing…❤. Captions helpful as reminders. Example of helpful info is reasons to use the kick board and stretch out…then pick your head up
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our swimming lessons and for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you find Jonny's teaching helpful and that you're learning so much.
Remember to always take it slow and steady when learning to swim, and don't be afraid to take breaks when you need to. Keep practicing what you've learned, and you'll be swimming like a pro in no time! And don't forget to have fun while you're at it. Thanks again for your support, and happy swimming!

@@RocketSwimming I’ll stay in touch as I progress…our small city has a first class Y with pool and plenty of lap time and attentive life guards. I’ve got goggles and fins. I hope this encourages anyone who has fears or is shy about “trying”…these videos will help anyone succeed in small steps…
I started out with pool volleyball and aqua fit classes 3x week. Thank you Rocket Man!
It's great to hear that you're making progress with your swimming and that you have access to a great pool with attentive lifeguards. It's also encouraging to hear that you started with activities like pool volleyball and aqua fit classes - those can be a fun way to ease into swimming and build up confidence in the water.
Your positive attitude and willingness to take small steps is definitely an inspiration for others who may be hesitant to try swimming. Keep up the great work, and I hope you continue to enjoy your swimming journey!

Tony Short 70 old enjoyed the video i shall keep learning more moves thanks
Rock on! I am really glad that you found this video helpful. Keep me posted on your progress.
Hi Rocket! I would like to ask you two questions for beginning to swim: I tried to use kick board to kick but go nowhere. I mean not move forward? and why I feel tired easily? please let me know why if you have time. I really enjoy watching your video, very details and helpful. thank you very much for useful and helpful video.
I guess you're bending your knees too much. Try to kick from your hips like a wave motion and your feet should be near the surface. Boil the water with your feet. Try this technique and let me know how it goes for you, okay?
I love the side pineapple, in my swimming 🏊♀️ class they had us pulling our neck and leg 🦵 muscles this, here sir is way easier 🙏
Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy to hear that the side pineapple technique works for you. It’s important to swim in a way that is comfortable and safe for your body. Keep enjoying the water and have fun! 🍍
I’m back to watch this video , I’ve share it with my friends in swimming class ☺️ all they say was ohhhh look how easy to be honest we all use to try so hard to get this side swim
This is a wonderful video. I am going to use some of these drills.
