Always something new to learn with this man. The entire RUclips is saturated with bigger swimming channels but, nobody teaches you like this OG right here.
Seeing these videos nearly brought tears. I have tried so many swimming lessons for decades with everyone telling me I sink because I'm scared or not trying hard enough. Nothing seemed to work. Everyone else floated. I sank like a stone. I didn't know why. These videos gave me hope i can find someone that can teach a "sinker" now that I know what it is.
SO glad we could be a useful part of your swim journey! We are creating this series because there are so many people like you who are not served by traditional swim lessons that are created and ordered for floaters. We hear stories like yours frequently, sadly, and so unnecessary. It's just a blast to get a group of beginner sinkers together who understand that story and find they can swim regardless of what they've experienced in the past. We'll be adding to the series again shortly, so stay tuned. SO very glad we could be helpful!
@@perrychristenberry1913 can't wait! Makes me wish I lived in your area so I could learn in person. Franchise, please! 😁
@@theHeiren 😉 Love it!
Great to see a coach finally touching upon something that few instructors seem to know. Some people actually sink . Yes they do! Looking forward to more videos. Especially that flutter kick for sinking legs. Yes the legs do sink as well:)
Glad you enjoyed it! Please check out our kicking video with coach Justin whose legs also sink! ruclips.net/video/PyS3hkU1-is/видео.htmlsi=4z_2aM0AOVY2l60Q
As always, very nice use of simple words to explain a concept and coupling it with actual demo in the water makes this instructional video even simpler and easier to understand. Awesome 😊
Thank you for the kind words twimpopsies83. Always nice to hear.
Awesome video 👏
Thank you Melissa. Glad you are still watching.
Fabulous video!
Excellent 👌
Exactly as Perry teaches...Kicks have not much to do with the propulsion at least not flutter kicks maybe frog kicks (breast stroke kicks) and dolphin kicks maybe but not the free style kicks, You can feel that when you get into the water all the propulsion is initiated with the upper limbs but I believe flutter kicks have something to do with direction control while lying horizontally..
Thank you Omar. You are correct about the breast stroke and dolphin kick. There’s also a wonderful kick called the scissor kick that’s similarly powerful and used in the combat side stroke. The flutter kick, Along with providing propulsion, can also be helpful as a way for someone with sinking legs to raise their legs to a more horizontal position, thus providing a more efficient body position for moving through the water. It’s something we eventually teach sinkers (and floaters), we just don’t start with it.
I am not sure about flutter kicks having nothing to do with propulsion. I swim forward even not using arms...
Hi Toni. Thanks the the opportunity to clarify that. Our statement is not that flutter kicking provides NO propulsion; certainly it does if performed correctly. Rather, we suggest that flutter kicking provides significantly less propulsion than propulsion created by arms pulling. Per current metrics, even the best kickers get a maximum of 30% of their propulsive power from their flutter kick. Most people don’t get anywhere close to 30%. As a result, we focus our primary attention on arm propulsion with beginners. We work on kicking later in the program (except for sinkers who may get some kicking earlier… stay tuned). Thank you for your comment!
@@perrychristenberry1913 When you mentioned here that for beginners your primary focus is on arm propulsion, that is exactly the opposite of what I have observed in swimming lessons conducted here. Like with my children, the first thing they ask students is learn to do flutter kicks.
@@twinpopsies83 Yes indeed. That's true with most programs that are focused on teaching strokes vs. teaching comfort. A lot of people think those are synonymous but they sadly are not. I can't speak to kids programming, so I'll simply say that beginning adults, particularly those scared of the water, generally find kicking to be difficult and frustrating. We don't enjoy putting our people through difficult and frustrating, so we go a different direction. People who stay with us through standard freestyle, back, breast, etc. eventually learn to flutter kick. The good news that that many, maybe even most people who learn to kick first, turn out being swimmers who enjoy and feel safe in the water.
