Crystal Clear! Two-time Olympian and first-class teacher.
can't argue with dat!
;-)
Hi Chloe, my father always told me to become a swimmer but growing up in the 80s I gravitated towards running. For 60 year old man I'm in great shape and can easily run a sub 7 minute mile. After swimming for a year-and-a-half I was shocked to realize how technical swimming is. Finally I'm able to swim somewhat effortlessly. Your videos are spectacular. You saved me a lot of money in that I'm able to bring your lessons into the pool and continue to get better. Your command of the technical and most importantly the ability to inculcate these techniques are exquisite.
*''keep your elbows high, but your dreams even higher''* ...hahah, brilliant.
not really funny
Chloe, you're one of the best talented instructor in swimming. TQ.
Thank you!
Absolutely BEST freestyle tutorial on youtube 😳 I‘m super impressed and happy to have found it!!!
I have no Olympic goals but swimming faster and stronger is awesome. Excellent video!
since I started watching your videos I've been air swimming the whole day. it looks like I'm dancing. can't wait to get to the pool. thanks for the tutorials
This might easily be the one of the best tutorials that I have ever seen on YT
Awesome videos, probably the best swimming tutorial videos on youtube for both beginners and more advanced people!
Chloe - Thank you for putting this together! You explain very well and the wrong vs. right way demos are very helpful!
Loretta Race thank you!

I agree it's a really helpful video. I can't wait to apply those advices in the swimming pool. Just an idea: it would be nice to have the wrong and the correct demos side-by-side so we can see the differences more easily.
Thank you Chloe! Great video which will surely help me master that so important catch! Have a pleasant day!
I really like the way she describes the content. Smooth delivery and says only what's needed (sometimes we tend to repeat ourselves over and over to get the point across). I will be showing your videos to all my swimmers - especially during the off season.
Your clear explanation and excellent presentation are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much Chole.
I have been watching hundreds of videos, and this is probably the best explanation of how swim freestyle properly! Thank you so much!!
One of the best videos I have seen. Great Detail. I am passing it on to all my swim buddies. Great Job Chloe!
Chloe ty so much. Where were you 15 years ago in my active triathlon days? Lol. I did everything back then, masters swimming class', Total Immersion swim class, etc etc. And yep the famous "S" pull, you taught in 9 minutes and 20 seconds the easiest and most efficient way to swim, compared to the years of being taught incorrect form. Teaching is gift, and you definitely have that gift. Thanks again Chloe.
I've watched countless videos and finally have found the 'pearl in the ocean' that hopefully will make an impact on my speed. Many thanks Chloe!
Great video, I think I finally see how the catch, pull, and rotation work together. The narration, slow motion, and angles helped me break down each section and understand the timing. Can't wait to try these drills.
This is one of the better freestyle coaching videos I’ve watched on RUclips! Thanks Chloe!!
Wow! The paddle excercise is fantastic! Thank you so much Chloe!!
Brilliant video Chloe, using your tips in this video has improved my technique and time by 19 secs / 100m on the first try today (over the day before) :-) Really helpful and think your videos are some of the best, easy to understand and to the point. Thanks!
I thought you were swimming 19s/100m and that I was really slow lol
Brilliant. Best freestyle training video I’ve ever watched. Thank you Chloe Sutton.
Thank you Chloe, namely such hints like S-curve, elbow position on entering water, correct catch and clear, profi explanation makes this video times more useful than others of a kind! 👍
Chloe i'm so happy to have found your channel! Your swimming videos just couldn't be any better! Right to the point with great examples, video shots and key information.
This video is exceptional. Well presented and explained in very simple terms with some good advice I’ve not seen elsewhere.
Bravo. Looking forward to putting this into practise.
Thank you for posting this! My favourite swimming coaching video!
Absolutely the best video on the catch I've seen, makes it so much clearer for people like me trying to get better at this
I've been swimming with the classic "s" catch for decades! It was definitely how coach taught me years ago and I felt it massively improved my speed. Time to relearn better... Thank you!
That was the best instructional video I've watched to explain the catch!! Thank you so much!
Finally, exactly what I wanted to know and focus on, explained in the most easily understandable way. Fantastic thanks Chloe.
I watched over 10 freestyle tutorial videos and this is by far the most well explained and helpful. Thank you!
Finally a video which teaches the catch correctly. I've seen so many videos made by triathletes who can seem to comprehend the high elbow catch. Thanks a lot for this video. I'll use it to show my athletes how it should be done.
Brilliantly explained and demonstrated. This was the key to really improving my front crawl. Thank you.
Amazingly clear, concise and efficient. She teaches like she swims. One of the rare ones who can coach and preform. I really enjoyed this especially the different camera angles. Nice fit body and beautiful smile as well.
I can't stop watching your videos, they're quite inspiring me the right moves.
Ale Paoletti hooray! Thank you!
She is good!!!
One of best videos on the catch. Chloe makes very clear exactly what we should be doing. Thanks!!!!
Best video I've seen on getting the technique down - really helpful - especially as a beginner
This is the best video on the freestyle technique! Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! Great video! All this time I have been taking and paying for these classes, no instructors ever mentioned this! Smh! Thank you so much!
best video i've seen on how to master the catch. thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you - this was not only the clearest explanation of what to do, but also explained why it works. Thank you so much, Chloe!
I have gone through so many videos - your video is honestly the best to follow. You really point out each technique so clearly - thank you!! Off to practice my catch :)
I've just started my swimming lessons last week at the age of 30. I found your video very helpful and encouraging.
Thanks a lot for your efforts!
This is what I call a MASTER CLASS. So ease to understand so ease to follow. WOW
Love these videos Chloe. Hope you do more!
Cheers,
From Australia
This is so far the best freestyle lesson I have watched.
Very well done video. As a 65 year old sailor and surfer, you have a lot of expertise that helps me think to swim more efficiently. Most of my lake and ocean swimming has always been sort of a long reach and a bit high to get past wavelets and a hard pull of whatever sort I can manage. For me it's all about getting to the boat again, or out of one wave and over the next on a board. So now, as I'm trying to do more swimming than any running, and I love the water, your video makes a lot of sense and gives me some technique to perfect!
Thank you! Not only is this clear, but the drills are really helpful too! Thanks!
Thanks Chloe, I never was taught how to catch and pull with full surface area of arm. I only just got re enthused to get fit for a triathlon and having done only two squad sessions in the beginner lane I'm learning that proper technique is exactly why it always looked easy when someone fast swims. This is so helpful.
This is the BEST video I've watched so far. What a great breakdown of steps. Also, thank you for explaining the "myth" of the S-curve - that's how I remember being taught years ago. Fantastic job!
Thank you for making this video! My husband and I started swimming this May, and you are amazing with instructions! Looking forward to implementing these techniques!
Excellent. Thanks, finally a video that explains why you should have a high elbow to push the water backwards instead of down.
I can’t wait to practice this now 👍
Thank you! That catch technique you showed really helped me swim efficiently and faster. I appreciate it!
Thanks that was the best and clearest explanation of the stroke I’ve come across.
BEST educational video around.. thank you VERY much, God bless you from Italy
there are thousands of swimmers videos i watched but a bunch of thanks miss Chloe sutton your uploaded videos made me the official swimmer. best wish for you forever honourable Chleo sutton... my dreams come true. best of luck.
Chloe, sitting here at the pool with my two boys who, at 10 and 13, are just beginning to swim with a team. This video is so helpful to help them achieve correct form, and experience the thrill of fluid movement in the water. And they keep hearing me say, "Oh my G-d, I was taught the S-stroke 30+ years ago by my coach, now I'm going to have to retrain myself!" We'll all have your tips in mind when we do our practices. THANK YOU!!!
i literally don’t know how to explain how helpful this is 😭
Excellent job Chloe!! That's the best freestyle catch video I've ever watched. Love the drills. Thanks a bunch
Thanks for this, I can now see what I have been doing wrong for years. Can't wait to get in the pool and practice!
Great video! I've tried this once before and failed miserably, but I think I'll give it another go. I really appreciate that you went over a few drills for practice, as that was my pitfall last time (I learned freestyle the old s-curve style).
ive watched almost a million of videos but... this is by far THE BEST ever! thanks beautiful and also good teaching skills!! a big thank you! regards from Spain 👏
This is the best I've ever seen on RUclips! Thank you Chloe!
I love the drills Chloe provides! Great teacher!
Thank you for this great video, really breaks down correct technique unlike any other video with really clear side on view, never have understood technique so well can see the increase for through the strokes of the correct technique
You have explained so well. Thanks so much. Since few days, was looking for best explained video, and i found yours is the best explained and demonstrated.
What a fantastic video all-around! I am a longtime swimmer but this broke down the catch for me in a brand new way. The drills are also new to me and I can't wait to give them a try. Thanks, Chloe!
Chloe, this is the most helpful video of freestyle catch I have found so far! Thank you very much!
Thank-Chloe that was the best and most helpful explanation of freestyle I have seen. By-the-way, you could make the sound in your pool/tub room echo less by putting up foam or old blankets - out of sight of course - when you are recording.
Using the whole arm vs. just the hand and getting full extension before the hand enters the water - can't wait to try this - thank you!
Thank you Chloe, by watching your video today I understood a lot of things, mistakes I made and the way to swim better. It's so clear an understandable. Thank you so much !
Thanks, great video! You are a great instructor, and made this really clear and the shots were all well done. Way to Go
Perhaps the most clear and exhaustive explanation about this part of the freestyle arm pull I've watched so far. I'll watch the rest of your videos... Thank you!!
Javier Galindo awesome! Thanks!
Awesome presentation. You explain and demonstrate in a way that is easier to focus on. Thank you.
This is best video for freestyle learners.thank you so much mam for this...i have seen so many videos but didnt get the technique right. It only now that i understand how to use hand movement in free style swimming ...You are a great teacher thanks again
THE best explanation to all swimming styles i have ever seen. Thank you.
The best tips that i need! Thank you so much for sharing!
This whole thing is Platinum, Chloe. Thanks very much.
Chloe, thank you so much for your channel and the video in particular.
I've spent days to find a clear freestyle arm pull video. Front and side views (!!!), common mistakes, corrective drills are extrmelly helpful!
When I was 28 y.o. I went swimming for the first time. Now 9 years later I'm going to compete Masters event.
all those excercises I work... now explained WHY they are done.
thank you so much.
This is one of the best if not the best and clearest video I’ve seen for the catch and pull. 🏅
Well explained, and with excellent, corresponding visuals. Great training video. Thank you.
u done this video with genuine intention of teaching ur best to us.. this is best video on swimming i hv evr seen
Definitely one of the best instructional videos out there. thanks.
Such a clear explanation. Amazing presentation. Thank you Chloe.
Awesome video, Chloe!! Your videos have been helping me improve a lot!! Congrats!
That was amazingly helpful. I'm just starting a swim plan as part of a triathlon plan and I've never done any swim drills. I had no idea what they meant by "work on early catch", but now I do! Thanks very much for the help and I'm sure I'll be watching other videos you've done soon.
Love your videos Chloe, so informative and the best illustration of the high elbow early catch on youtube !! If only I could master it now lol
I swim with an S curve and have tried different ways to correct it. I'm really looking forward to trying your drills; this video is very lucid and helpful. Thanks!
As others have said, finally a clear video, simple explanation, superb
Thank you Chloe Sutton! This video is really helpful can't wait to use the drills in the pool and improve my technique!! Thank you so much !
Brilliant video! Best explanation I’ve seen on the freestyle catch
Great Chloe Sutton, best video ever on freestyle, I've got instant improvement after watching. Now traction begins 1ft earlier and is more powerful, at the same time is less stressful for my shoulder impingement. Best regards from Italy!
Thanks for explaining everything, and the drills too! I can't wait to get to the pool to practice. I never learned to swim, I just mimicked what I saw, so I wouldn't drown. As kids, we'd swim in the river, and there were only a few deep parts. We had fun anyway. and the best monkey swing ever!
There were so many confusing videos and yours certainly cleared things up. The video angles were spot on and made it easy to see what was the correct thing to do.
Kind Regards,
Peter
Thanks for sharing this video. This really helps to learn perfect freestyle swimming.
"God bless you"
as a father who supports my daughter who wanted to become a triathlete...i really like your videos...very helpful..hopefully we can apply it...i trained her every weekend...
Love you sooooooooooooooo much!! U relieved me from most of my water fears!
Ahhhh WONDERFUL !!!
Finally a world class teacher!! Thanks for sharing!!!
fantastic video, one of the only swimming videos I've found so far that actually both explains and fully demonstrates the technique in the water with a clear picture of what to do, and with more than a 2 second snippet. can't wait to try it out. subscribed!
YAY! Thanks. :)
Thank you very much, Chloe! It helps me a lot to improve my technique preparing the first triathlon.
Excellent and clear instruction. I wish Chloe though can give some instruction on timing of the pull after the catch is locked in. Also, after the catch is secure, what relation is there between rotation and pull phase. Thanks again and like many have said, you're a great teacher.
