-look down or at an angle -rotate stomach side to side per each stroke (to prevent shoulder injuries) -kick from hips with straight , not bent legs -pull straight during your breath break -don’t breathe late and breathe out slowly
Absolutely. I do well in 6 feet of water ...but listening of 12 feet or diving in it crates so much panic that it seems that my heart has stopped beating or I will die surely.
Freestyle is probably as difficult as learning the piano...and I've done both! Breathing, kicking, turning, rotating, center of balance....etc. I've been swimming for many years but still have so much to learn - like the piano!!!
My main problem is that I run out of breath after the first lap and I already need to take a break to breath, meanwhile everyone around me just keep going and going non stop like it's no big deal, and I'm just trying not to pass out. when I try to swim slower to reduce intensity, It becomes harder not to sink. I need some serious tips
thanks kuya49z yup, I was having the same problem too, the breath also need to control. Think not to go fast or to reach fast but to enjoy the freestyle hihi.
If you are a smoker that means your lung capacity is short and u need to stop smoking...either wise it's just a stamina endurance. you need to jog more :]
Thank you for this. I am 55 years old and just learned to swim about 2 years ago in adult swimming lessons. I swim 3-4 times a week now and although some individuals at the pool say I have gotten so much better and faster there is always room for improvement. I noticed from your video about swimming flat and I do have that habit and believe it or not...just like you said...I've had some problems out of my left shoulder. I thought I must be catching the water too hard, but this makes me realize I wasn't rotating.
This was a good video! As a competitive swimmer I say this video is spot on. "Easiest stroke to learn, most difficult to master" - Agreed. It seems super easy and then you realize, to gain seconds it is about technique 75%+ and strength
I'm 20 and going through beginner's swimming lessons now and I agree; my biggest problem is that I can't breathe properly without swallowing water. I too had no idea body rotation was necessary; I'm guessing my swim instructor is saving it for a future lesson since I am learning from scratch. I too need to work on my confidence to actually go to my pool alone and amongst all the elite swimmers who train there. Good luck learning how to swim!
I am learning swimming as natural, no coach available here. I did all 5 mistakes in my early stages, I am practicing to fix the issues with help of other friends and working on it. If you would not teach us I would be wrong for ever and ever. thank you for be a good coach for me.
Recent thoughts are contrary to this, the power is from the palm and wrist, keep the fingers open. This sources power in the latissimus area rather than the shoulders, shortens the fulcrum, takes the strain off those shoulder joints. try it, you will feel a difference. i
I suppose ! am a "self taught" swimmer, as it's been decades since I took lessons. I was doing many of these mistakes! After the correction, it trimmed noticeable strokes off my laps and I find that I'm suddenly across the pool way faster while remaining much less fatigued. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing the technique of coorect freestyle swimming. I believe and confidently apply the joy of swimming. What beautiful and graceful swimming demonstration.
Hey, here's a novel idea: just listen to the fantastic advice that this obviously very talented woman is giving you, for free, instead of objectifying her. Seriously, it's like the internet has never seen a woman before. Great video, by the way! Answered a lot of my questions.
Don't think that you are so smart. I am also Bengal champion . First mistake throwing her hand full round not bending sheet Bending in water but not Bending in sky so she have to bend it ok so don't think that you are so smart
I've swum for many years, and I was taken aback when my swimming instructor told me that my pull wasn't good enough. According to him, my hands were too close to my body while I pulled. As a result, I wasn't sliding as much as I should. He told me to watch some videos, and I stumbled upon this one, which is really very, very instructive. I'm sharing it. Thanks guys !
I'm a 28 year old man and Instead of going to the gym, I've decided to just workout in the pool. However, my freestyle stroke sucks. I'm better at doing backstroke than freestyle. Going to try this technique out tomorrow. Cheers.
Very informative video. Had no idea your face is supposed to go down and that you should rotate your body during each stroke. Thank you! I'm self taught and I just go to the pool and try and mimic others.
Surprisingly very helpful! I'm actually a bit irritated now, since for PhysEd in highschool, I had swimming at the teacher instructed us to look forward while we swam rather than look directly below us. Thanks for this. I always used to struggle with breathing : )
I have been suffering from shoulder pain for 1month. Trainer can't rectify the problem, so they start ignoring it. Too much pain... i can't swim more than 40 mtr. Now I got this... Will keep in mind each n every mistake. thanx for saving my shoulder.. thanx a lot guys
I am 34. I had my first lessons this year as I have a severe phobia of water. I couldn't have my daughters able to swim better than me at 4 and 7 years of age. Apparently I am a great learner despite the fact that I find it hard to cope with the fear. My biggest problem was breathing in freestyle. I had no idea about body rotation and I think that this is the key to getting my rotation to allow me to breathe as I freestyle. Now I need to develop the courage to get in the pool alone and try it...
We've got a guy in our swim lesson group about your age with similar fears. After about 4 lessons he is really starting to enjoy it. Total immersion has some drills (eg. "superman glide")that will get you used to being in the water. If you wish, try using fins (at first) - or a kickboard. Don't worry about trying to do"laps" just yet. The fun part is that if you stick at it you will notice progress every time you visit the pool. Just set small goals at first - this will keep you going !
Excellent video. I've been making most of these mistakes for years. I knew the stroke didn't feel right but I didn't know how to sort it out. All this makes perfect sense. Thank you so much, I'll bookmark this video and work on the stroke
1 00:00:06,190 --> 00:00:13,770 While many swimmers feel that freestyle is the easiest stroke to learn, it can be the most difficult stroke to master. 자유형이 배우기에 가장 쉬운 영법이라고 느끼지만, 숙달하기에는 가장 어려운 영법일 수도 있습니다. 2 00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:21,320 This iSport lesson will show you ways to improve your freestyle by pointing out the strokes' most common slipups. 이번 iSport 강좌에서는 자유형에서 가장 흔한 실수들을 열거함으로써 자유형 영법을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 보여드리겠습니다. 3 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,580 One of the most common freestyle mistakes is looking forward as you swim. 가장 흔한 자유형 실수 중의 하나는 헤엄치는 동안 앞을 바라보는 것입니다. 4 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,920 In order to align your spine correctly you must fight the urge to look toward the wall. 척주를 바르게 정렬시키기 위해서는 수로 끝에 있는 벽을 보려는 충동을 억제해야 합니다. 5 00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:39,820 If you look forward, your hips drop in the water. 앞쪽을 보면, 엉덩이는 물 속으로 가라앉게 됩니다. 6 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,980 This forces your spine to curve. 그래서 척주가 휘어지게 되고. 7 00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,060 It releases your core. 아랫몸통 근육이 느슨해집니다. 8 00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,260 And it adds resistance in the water 그래서 물속에서 저항이 더해지게 됩니다. 9 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,640 To fix this; 이를 고치려면; 10 00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:53,961 Look down toward the black line at the bottom of the pool. 수영장 바닥에 있는 까만(파란) 선을 내려다 보십시요. 11 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,200 Relax your neck, and you'll feel your hips rise toward the surface. 목의 긴장을 푸십시요, 엉덩이가 수면을 향해 떠오르는 것을 느끼게 될 것입니다. 12 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,140 If looking straight down makes you feel uneasy, try looking forward at an angle. 바로 아래를 보는 것이 불편하다면, 비스듬하게 앞을 보려고 해보세요. 13 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,760 You'll still be looking at the black line but slightly in front of you. 여전히 까만(파란) 선을, 하지만 약간 앞 쪽을 보고 있게 됩니다. 14 00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:18,220 Another common issue is swimming flat, meaning your stomach always faces the bottom of the pool. 몸통 좌우 돌리기 없이, 즉 배꼽이 항상 수영장 바닥을 향해 있으면서, 헤엄치는 것입니다. 15 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,960 You should however be rotating from side to side as you swim. 자유형을 할 때는 몸통을 좌우로 돌리면서 헤엄쳐야 합니다. 16 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:31,960 Swimming flat can lead to serious shoulder injuries, including tendonitis and rotator cuff issues. 몸통 좌우 돌리기 없이 헤엄치는 것은, 건염, 회전 근개 파열 등... 심각한 어깨 부상을 불러올 수 있습니다. 17 00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,140 To fix this; 이를 교정하기 위해서는; 18 00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:37,840 Rotate your body as you take each stroke. 팔을 저을 때 마다 몸통을 돌리십시요. 19 00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:46,780 As you reach out in front of you on your stroke, extend your arm all the way until you feel your body rotate to the side. 되돌리는 팔이 앞쪽으로 갈 때, 몸통이 옆으로 돌아가는 것을 느낄 때까지 팔을 쭉 뻗으세요. 20 00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:50,940 This should cause your other shoulder to roll out of the water. 이로 인해 반대편 어깨가 물 위로 드러날 때까지 몸통을 돌려야 합니다. 21 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,820 Your bellybutton should be pointing more toward the side of the pool than the black line on the bottom. 배꼽은 바닥의 검정 선이 아니라 수영장 옆 쪽 벽을 향해야 합니다. 22 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,380 Bending your knees while kicking is another problem many swimmers make. 무릎을 구부리고 차는 것 또한 많은 사람들이 저지르는 실수입니다. 23 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Bent knees do not propel you efficiently in the water. 무릎이 굽어지면, 물속에서 효과적으로 밀지 못합니다. 24 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:15,840 It actually takes a lot of effort and creates resistance, making it quite exhausting 실제로는 노력만 많이 들고, 저항을 일으키게 되어, 많이 지치게 됩니다. 25 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:21,000 Instead, kick from the hips and keep your legs straight. 그러지 말고, 엉덩이로부터 차면서 다리는 곧게 유지하십시요. 26 00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:27,520 Keeping your kicks small and fast will make it easier to straighten your legs. 작고 빠르게 차는 것을 유지해야, 다리를 곧게 뻗는 것이 쉬워집니다. 27 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,800 And quite possibly the most common mistake in freestyle is pulling crooked. 자유형에서 아마도 가장 흔한 실수는 비뚤배뚤 젓는 것일 것입니다. 28 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:42,060 As they pull, swimmers often weather hand under their belly and point their fingertips toward the wall. 종종 손을 배 아래쪽으로 저으면서 손가락 끝을 벽 쪽으로 향하곤 합니다. 29 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:46,760 The trajectory on this pull slips a ton of water. 이런 식의 궤도를 그리면서 저으면 많은 물을 놓치게 됩니다. 30 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:50,290 This happens most often as a swimmer breathes. 이 현상은 숨을 쉴 때 가장 자주 일어납니다. 31 00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:57,140 If this happens to you, watch your hand as you pull and pay attention to your fingertips are pointing. 만약 당신에게도 이런 일이 일어난다면, 저을 때 손을 보면서 손가락 끝이 향하는 방향에 주의하십시요. 32 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,500 They should be pointing straight down toward the bottom of the pool. 손가락 끝은 똑바로 수영장 바닥을 향해야 합니다. 33 00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:06,320 During your breath, think about pulling straight and feeling for it. 숨쉬는 동안, 똑바르게 저을 것을 생각하고, 그렇게 하고 있는 지 느끼려고 노력하십시요. 34 00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:10,360 If you're having trouble, ask someone to watch you. 잘 안되면, 주변사람에게 봐달라고 부탁하십시요. 35 00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:13,560 They can point out what they've seen. 그 사람이 본대로 말해줄 수 있을 것입니다. 36 00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:22,670 And lastly breathing late is another common mistake because it can affect your entire stroke. 마지막으로 늦게 숨쉬는 것도, 전체 영법에 영향을 끼치므로, 흔한 실수라 할 수 있습니다. 37 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Many swimmers start their breath after their hand exits the water. 많은 사람들이 손이 물에서 벗어난 다음에 숨쉬기 시작합니다. 38 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720 It is very hard to balance in this position. 이 자세에서는 균형 잡기가 매우 어렵습니다. 39 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,780 This can also cause you to swallow water. 또한 물을 먹게 되기도 합니다. 40 00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:40,280 If you have this problem, overcompensate by trying to breathe early. 이 문제가 있을 때는, 반대로 일찍 숨쉬려고 하세요. 41 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560 As soon as your hand enters the water for your pull, start your breath. 반대쪽 손이 물속에 들어가기 시작하자마자, 숨쉬기 시작하십시요. 42 00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:55,400 To keep your breath quick, roll your head back into the water as soon as your hand exits the water during your recovery. 숨을 짧게 하기 위해, 되돌리기 위해 손이 물에서 나가자마자, 머리를 돌려 물속에 집어넣으세요. 43 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480 All of these freestyle mistakes are common, but very fixable. 설명드린 자유형 실수들은 흔하지만, 쉽게 고칠 수 있습니다. 44 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,220 Once you identify what you can work on, just concentrate on that aspect of your stroke. 일단 교정해야할 것을 확인했다면, 영법에서 그 부분에만 집중하십시요. 45 00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:13,740 Practicing each aspect of your stroke properly will invite good habits into your muscle memory. 영법에 있어 각각의 측면을 올바르게 연습하여 가면, 근육 기억 속에 올바른 습성들을 심게 됩니다. 46 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,780 Here's a review of how to fix your freestyle stroke. 자유형 영법을 교정하기 위한 방법들을 다시 확인해보겠습니다. 47 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440 1. look toward the bottom of the pool. 1. 수영장 바닥을 향해 내려다 보십시요. 48 00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,780 2. Rotate as you swim. 2. 헤엄치는 동안 몸통을 좌우로 돌리십시요. 49 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,700 3. Keep your legs straight on your kick. 3. 차는 동안 다리를 곧게 유지하세요. 50 00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,780 4. Point your fingertips downward on your pull. 4. 팔을 저을 때는 손가락 끝이 수영장 바닥으로 향하게 하세요. 51 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,040 5. And breathe early. 5. 숨을 일찍 쉬세요.
Hey you just awesome ...I started going to pool without knowing swimming .... I tried to swim by so called swimmers. They told me to do strokes by leg and hand propelling ... but I was thinking some thing is extremely wrong.... Now I have tried your technique .. I am feeling awesome in water while free style swim....
I need to fix every thing coz I dont know how to swim in the first place... 😂 But thanks for these tips.. I will definitely try them out this summer 😊😊
this video is awesome.. Im currently taking swimming class for PE at school, and my teacher doesn't get into detail about the different strokes. This video really helps and I will take what I have learned here and apply it to what my teacher has taught me. THANK YOU
I'm 37 when I started learning freestyle (usually only breaststroke). It took me 1-2 months to master breathing on one side, and another month to master bilateral breathing. I usually learn by myself and swim alone. Never give up!
This video has been so helpful. All the way from Kenya i have learn t so much especially about not swimming straight,i am still to master my breathing techniques but i am getting there. Loving Swimming....
Wow. Amazing video. Thank you. I know how to swim already. But not with so much detail. This will improve my life a lot. Will watch many times to adjust as time goes on. Thank you! This one is the best video on the subject I've seen so far.
that was a gem of a video instruction and exactly what i was looking for. this would certainly help me refining my now-pathetic freestyle. Thanks for the nice and clear instructions too. keep it up
Thanks for an excellent video. I notice that as she swims, there is a big lag between one stroke and the next. There is a moment when both hands are in front. Is this just for demonstration purposes, or should the strokes not overlap? Maybe not overlap to help with form, then go to overlap?
Wow, thanks for endorsing the things I managed to figure out myself since I got back into swimming after a decades-long break. Actually, it's the first time I've taken my swimming seriously. In addition to the points in the video, one other thing I try to do is to synchronise my kicks with my arms. I do big, full-leg kicks and they seem to sync well with the opposite limb, so as my right arm comes over, I kick with my left leg. In other words, their rhythm is the same. I'm sure this makes a huge difference, but would be interested to hear if that makes sense to any swimming coaches out there.
Just another tip, which I even notice in this tutorial. Freestylers should have bent elbows when their arm is above the water. Straight arm swimming (Which is what it is called when a swimmers arm is straight when recovering above water), for most people, creates problems and makes you go slower.
-look down or at an angle
-rotate stomach side to side per each stroke (to prevent shoulder injuries)
-kick from hips with straight , not bent legs
-pull straight during your breath break
-don’t breathe late and breathe out slowly
Thanks ❤️
This video will make you think you've learned how to swim already, but the pool will say otherwise later.
Preach👐
dose143 it looks easy when u just watch it, but then when u do it, it would be the other way around 😅
Motivated Swimming Channel!! Please subscribe for future videos!! :))
Absolutely. I do well in 6 feet of water ...but listening of 12 feet or diving in it crates so much panic that it seems that my heart has stopped beating or I will die surely.

The more swimming videos I watch the more confident I get in swim class
True
Freestyle is probably as difficult as learning the piano...and I've done both!
Breathing, kicking, turning, rotating, center of balance....etc. I've been swimming for many years but still have so much to learn - like the piano!!!
Yea it took me forever to learn freestyle, and yea I kno i play piano too.
Same. I rather do piano though 😂 But I love swim non the less
+winterdesert1 just like a piano or swiming or any other if you learned the basics you can learn anything.

Non-spooky Human-being i am also 11 i have practiced swimming in the age of 10 and i van swim in the 9 or 10 feet pool
Training for my 12th Ironman, and worth viewing, Thanks for making the effort to film, edit and post this.
My main problem is that I run out of breath after the first lap and I already need to take a break to breath, meanwhile everyone around me just keep going and going non stop like it's no big deal, and I'm just trying not to pass out.
when I try to swim slower to reduce intensity, It becomes harder not to sink. I need some serious tips
try reduce paddling the legs, it won't sink if we less paddling. try to put increase on hands see if there a difference
Muhammad Nabil I was about to comment the same problem thanks dude for the help
thanks kuya49z yup, I was having the same problem too, the breath also need to control. Think not to go fast or to reach fast but to enjoy the freestyle hihi.
If you are a smoker that means your lung capacity is short and u need to stop smoking...either wise it's just a stamina endurance. you need to jog more :]
Amrouch G i don't smoke and have never smoked
I was naturally acquiring some swimming techniques in freestyle as I was paying attention to details. Glad to see it being validated in this video.
One of the best videos I've seen on improving the forward stroke. If you could elaborate more on the breathing part that would be immensely helpful.
I agree
This even applies at sub-olympic competitive levels lmao. I am a lifelong swimmer.
But you should look forward at that wall... my coach is a gold medalist Olympian and that's what she said
Nina Warda well he is completely wrong or you listened wrong because that is the wrong way of looking
Thank you for this. I am 55 years old and just learned to swim about 2 years ago in adult swimming lessons. I swim 3-4 times a week now and although some individuals at the pool say I have gotten so much better and faster there is always room for improvement. I noticed from your video about swimming flat and I do have that habit and believe it or not...just like you said...I've had some problems out of my left shoulder. I thought I must be catching the water too hard, but this makes me realize I wasn't rotating.
I. Wish. I. Had. A. Fucking. Pool.
drey8 ahhhh I see what you did there lol
+xChaseMoney V Your post made me realize I don't have a pool and now I am crying like a bitch
+drey8 haha I see u there 😂😂
+xChaseMoney V go to a freakin olympic sized swimming pool resort. its not that expensive.
xChaseMoney ^ chill 😶
This was a good video! As a competitive swimmer I say this video is spot on.
"Easiest stroke to learn, most difficult to master" - Agreed. It seems super easy and then you realize, to gain seconds it is about technique 75%+ and strength
Out of all the videos I’ve watched about doing this stroke properly, this was by FAR the most helpful! Thank you!!
I'm 20 and going through beginner's swimming lessons now and I agree; my biggest problem is that I can't breathe properly without swallowing water. I too had no idea body rotation was necessary; I'm guessing my swim instructor is saving it for a future lesson since I am learning from scratch. I too need to work on my confidence to actually go to my pool alone and amongst all the elite swimmers who train there. Good luck learning how to swim!
PERFECT video! You can't explain swimming any clearer than she just did. heading to the pool to practice haha
I am learning swimming as natural, no coach available here. I did all 5 mistakes in my early stages, I am practicing to fix the issues with help of other friends and working on it. If you would not teach us I would be wrong for ever and ever. thank you for be a good coach for me.
I made all but two of these mistakes, and I actually improved my swimming a lot, thanks to this video.
My coach : *shows us this video
Me : watches video in my own time to review over what happened
My coach : why don’t you trust me
Another one is slapping the water with your hands

Recent thoughts are contrary to this, the power is from the palm and wrist, keep the fingers open. This sources power in the latissimus area rather than the shoulders, shortens the fulcrum, takes the strain off those shoulder joints. try it, you will feel a difference.

Maia Blair I ALWAYS SLAP THE WATER WITH MY HANDS
Me too
i have my swimming training today .. i will try to apply some of the tips i watched .. thanks for the clear demonstration of the tips
Thanks a whole lot I'm 12 and I have been swimming for 8 yrs now this will really help
young swimmers like me.😎😎😀😀😀
Awesome video and after watching this, i will try to correct my mistake soon.
I suppose ! am a "self taught" swimmer, as it's been decades since I took lessons. I was doing many of these mistakes! After the correction, it trimmed noticeable strokes off my laps and I find that I'm suddenly across the pool way faster while remaining much less fatigued. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing the technique of coorect freestyle swimming. I believe and confidently apply the joy of swimming. What beautiful and graceful swimming demonstration.
Thank you for your advice and help Bruno. It is very good.
One of the best videos I've seen on improving the forward stroke.

Frank Haber Don't be an ass.
so now noticing a person looks good is "objectifying"?????? something in your way of thinking is seriously wrong.
people today are way too sensitive

Don't think that you are so smart. I am also Bengal champion . First mistake throwing her hand full round not bending sheet Bending in water but not Bending in sky so she have to bend it ok so don't think that you are so smart
I've swum for many years, and I was taken aback when my swimming instructor told me that my pull wasn't good enough. According to him, my hands were too close to my body while I pulled.

Good instruction, summarize most of the mistakes I've made before.
Very informative video. Had no idea your face is supposed to go down and that you should rotate your body during each stroke. Thank you! I'm self taught and I just go to the pool and try and mimic others.
fantastic video..finally a summary of proper freestyle. thanks
I was making all the mistake very good video helped me a lot
Good tutorial on common mistakes. Was very helpful and useful.
Loved your tips.
1. Simple
2. It's easy to understand
Surprisingly very helpful!
I'm actually a bit irritated now, since for PhysEd in highschool, I had swimming at the teacher instructed us to look forward while we swam rather than look directly below us. Thanks for this. I always used to struggle with breathing : )
One of the best swimming lessons..!! thanks..

🏊♀️
Thanks to this video, my freestyle swimming got a LOT faster after correcting my technique. I just got work on my breathing and timing.
These videos on youtube are so nice, i learned freestyle on my own in 6 months. Didn't knew to swim before. The only problem left is rotation.
When I was in swimming school nobody told me about body rotation but I have checked youtube and learned a lot. :)
this is no doubt he best video ever on swimming so far i have encountered, thanks a lot.
Simple yet great video.easy to understand
Been tryna go down in the water every morning and night now, thanks for the tips. Lovin the tuts
Thanks, I will use this video with my lap swimming class.
These simple tips helped me enormously. I was a terrible swimmer. Now I'm less terrible!!
Very informative video. Will definitely keep these in mind for next time.
Thank you!!! Getting back into swimming and really need to tighten up my form. I think if I work on what you have here it'll help a lot.
I have been suffering from shoulder pain for 1month. Trainer can't rectify the problem, so they start ignoring it. Too much pain... i can't swim more than 40 mtr.
Now I got this... Will keep in mind each n every mistake.
thanx for saving my shoulder.. thanx a lot guys
I am 34. I had my first lessons this year as I have a severe phobia of water. I couldn't have my daughters able to swim better than me at 4 and 7 years of age. Apparently I am a great learner despite the fact that I find it hard to cope with the fear. My biggest problem was breathing in freestyle. I had no idea about body rotation and I think that this is the key to getting my rotation to allow me to breathe as I freestyle. Now I need to develop the courage to get in the pool alone and try it...
very supportive I have that problem of bending my legs now am going to work on it. Thanks
this is an excellent video with great tips
We've got a guy in our swim lesson group about your age with similar fears. After about 4 lessons he is really starting to enjoy it. Total immersion has some drills (eg. "superman glide")that will get you used to being in the water. If you wish, try using fins (at first) - or a kickboard. Don't worry about trying to do"laps" just yet. The fun part is that if you stick at it you will notice progress every time you visit the pool. Just set small goals at first - this will keep you going !
This was actually really helpful.
Amazing Video! Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much!!! I just started a couple weeks ago and felt like I was doing everything wrong!
Very good reminders...I have been swimming with some of these mistakes all the times.
Thanks i was looking forward and swimming with flat stamoch this was adding resistance...after watching this my swimming improved....
Excellent video. I've been making most of these mistakes for years. I knew the stroke didn't feel right but I didn't know how to sort it out. All this makes perfect sense. Thank you so much, I'll bookmark this video and work on the stroke
1
00:00:06,190 --> 00:00:13,770
While many swimmers feel that freestyle is the easiest stroke to learn, it can be the most difficult stroke to master.
자유형이 배우기에 가장 쉬운 영법이라고 느끼지만, 숙달하기에는 가장 어려운 영법일 수도 있습니다.
2
00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:21,320
This iSport lesson will show you ways to improve your freestyle by pointing out
the strokes' most common slipups.
이번 iSport 강좌에서는 자유형에서 가장 흔한 실수들을 열거함으로써 자유형 영법을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 보여드리겠습니다.
3
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,580
One of the most common freestyle mistakes is looking forward as you swim.
가장 흔한 자유형 실수 중의 하나는 헤엄치는 동안 앞을 바라보는 것입니다.
4
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,920
In order to align your spine correctly you must fight the urge to look toward the wall.
척주를 바르게 정렬시키기 위해서는 수로 끝에 있는 벽을 보려는 충동을 억제해야 합니다.
5
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:39,820
If you look forward, your hips drop in the water.
앞쪽을 보면, 엉덩이는 물 속으로 가라앉게 됩니다.
6
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,980
This forces your spine to curve.
그래서 척주가 휘어지게 되고.
7
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,060
It releases your core.
아랫몸통 근육이 느슨해집니다.
8
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,260
And it adds resistance in the water
그래서 물속에서 저항이 더해지게 됩니다.
9
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,640
To fix this;
이를 고치려면;
10
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:53,961
Look down toward the black line at the bottom of the pool.
수영장 바닥에 있는 까만(파란) 선을 내려다 보십시요.
11
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Relax your neck, and you'll feel your hips rise toward the surface.
목의 긴장을 푸십시요, 엉덩이가 수면을 향해 떠오르는 것을 느끼게 될 것입니다.
12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,140
If looking straight down makes you feel uneasy, try looking forward at an angle.
바로 아래를 보는 것이 불편하다면, 비스듬하게 앞을 보려고 해보세요.
13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,760
You'll still be looking at the black line but slightly in front of you.
여전히 까만(파란) 선을, 하지만 약간 앞 쪽을 보고 있게 됩니다.
14
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:18,220
Another common issue is swimming flat, meaning your stomach always faces the bottom of the pool.
몸통 좌우 돌리기 없이, 즉 배꼽이 항상 수영장 바닥을 향해 있으면서, 헤엄치는 것입니다.
15
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,960
You should however be rotating from side to side as you swim.
자유형을 할 때는 몸통을 좌우로 돌리면서 헤엄쳐야 합니다.
16
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:31,960
Swimming flat can lead to serious shoulder injuries, including tendonitis and rotator cuff issues.
몸통 좌우 돌리기 없이 헤엄치는 것은, 건염, 회전 근개 파열 등... 심각한 어깨 부상을 불러올 수 있습니다.
17
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,140
To fix this;
이를 교정하기 위해서는;
18
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:37,840
Rotate your body as you take each stroke.
팔을 저을 때 마다 몸통을 돌리십시요.
19
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:46,780
As you reach out in front of you on your stroke, extend your arm all the way until you feel your body rotate to the side.
되돌리는 팔이 앞쪽으로 갈 때, 몸통이 옆으로 돌아가는 것을 느낄 때까지 팔을 쭉 뻗으세요.
20
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:50,940
This should cause your other shoulder to roll out of the water.
이로 인해 반대편 어깨가 물 위로 드러날 때까지 몸통을 돌려야 합니다.
21
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,820
Your bellybutton should be pointing more toward the side of the pool than the black line on the bottom.
배꼽은 바닥의 검정 선이 아니라 수영장 옆 쪽 벽을 향해야 합니다.
22
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,380
Bending your knees while kicking is another problem many swimmers make.
무릎을 구부리고 차는 것 또한 많은 사람들이 저지르는 실수입니다.
23
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Bent knees do not propel you efficiently in the water.
무릎이 굽어지면, 물속에서 효과적으로 밀지 못합니다.
24
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:15,840
It actually takes a lot of effort and creates resistance, making it quite exhausting
실제로는 노력만 많이 들고, 저항을 일으키게 되어, 많이 지치게 됩니다.
25
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:21,000
Instead, kick from the hips and keep your legs straight.
그러지 말고, 엉덩이로부터 차면서 다리는 곧게 유지하십시요.
26
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:27,520
Keeping your kicks small and fast will make it easier to straighten your legs.
작고 빠르게 차는 것을 유지해야, 다리를 곧게 뻗는 것이 쉬워집니다.
27
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,800
And quite possibly the most common mistake in freestyle is pulling crooked.
자유형에서 아마도 가장 흔한 실수는 비뚤배뚤 젓는 것일 것입니다.
28
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:42,060
As they pull, swimmers often weather hand under their belly and point their fingertips toward the wall.
종종 손을 배 아래쪽으로 저으면서 손가락 끝을 벽 쪽으로 향하곤 합니다.
29
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:46,760
The trajectory on this pull slips a ton of water.
이런 식의 궤도를 그리면서 저으면 많은 물을 놓치게 됩니다.
30
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:50,290
This happens most often as a swimmer breathes.
이 현상은 숨을 쉴 때 가장 자주 일어납니다.
31
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:57,140
If this happens to you, watch your hand as you pull and pay attention to your fingertips are pointing.
만약 당신에게도 이런 일이 일어난다면, 저을 때 손을 보면서 손가락 끝이 향하는 방향에 주의하십시요.
32
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,500
They should be pointing straight down toward the bottom of the pool.
손가락 끝은 똑바로 수영장 바닥을 향해야 합니다.
33
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:06,320
During your breath, think about pulling straight and feeling for it.
숨쉬는 동안, 똑바르게 저을 것을 생각하고, 그렇게 하고 있는 지 느끼려고 노력하십시요.
34
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:10,360
If you're having trouble, ask someone to watch you.
잘 안되면, 주변사람에게 봐달라고 부탁하십시요.
35
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:13,560
They can point out what they've seen.
그 사람이 본대로 말해줄 수 있을 것입니다.
36
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:22,670
And lastly breathing late is another common mistake because it can affect your entire stroke.
마지막으로 늦게 숨쉬는 것도, 전체 영법에 영향을 끼치므로, 흔한 실수라 할 수 있습니다.
37
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,240
Many swimmers start their breath after their hand exits the water.
많은 사람들이 손이 물에서 벗어난 다음에 숨쉬기 시작합니다.
38
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
It is very hard to balance in this position.
이 자세에서는 균형 잡기가 매우 어렵습니다.
39
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,780
This can also cause you to swallow water.
또한 물을 먹게 되기도 합니다.
40
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:40,280
If you have this problem, overcompensate by trying to breathe early.
이 문제가 있을 때는, 반대로 일찍 숨쉬려고 하세요.
41
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560
As soon as your hand enters the water for your pull, start your breath.
반대쪽 손이 물속에 들어가기 시작하자마자, 숨쉬기 시작하십시요.
42
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:55,400
To keep your breath quick, roll your head back into the water as soon as your hand exits the water during your recovery.
숨을 짧게 하기 위해, 되돌리기 위해 손이 물에서 나가자마자, 머리를 돌려 물속에 집어넣으세요.
43
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480
All of these freestyle mistakes are common, but very fixable.
설명드린 자유형 실수들은 흔하지만, 쉽게 고칠 수 있습니다.
44
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,220
Once you identify what you can work on, just concentrate on that aspect of your stroke.
일단 교정해야할 것을 확인했다면, 영법에서 그 부분에만 집중하십시요.
45
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:13,740
Practicing each aspect of your stroke properly will invite good habits into your muscle memory.
영법에 있어 각각의 측면을 올바르게 연습하여 가면, 근육 기억 속에 올바른 습성들을 심게 됩니다.
46
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,780
Here's a review of how to fix your freestyle stroke.
자유형 영법을 교정하기 위한 방법들을 다시 확인해보겠습니다.
47
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440
1. look toward the bottom of the pool.
1. 수영장 바닥을 향해 내려다 보십시요.
48
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,780
2. Rotate as you swim.
2. 헤엄치는 동안 몸통을 좌우로 돌리십시요.
49
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,700
3. Keep your legs straight on your kick.
3. 차는 동안 다리를 곧게 유지하세요.
50
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,780
4. Point your fingertips downward on your pull.
4. 팔을 저을 때는 손가락 끝이 수영장 바닥으로 향하게 하세요.
51
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,040
5. And breathe early.
5. 숨을 일찍 쉬세요.
한국!
thanks
Hey you just awesome ...I started going to pool without knowing swimming .... I tried to swim by so called swimmers. They told me to do strokes by leg and hand propelling ... but I was thinking some thing is extremely wrong.... Now I have tried your technique .. I am feeling awesome in water while free style swim....
I need to fix every thing coz I dont know how to swim in the first place... 😂
But thanks for these tips.. I will definitely try them out this summer 😊😊
Very useful! Thank you!
this video is awesome.. Im currently taking swimming class for PE at school, and my teacher doesn't get into detail about the different strokes. This video really helps and I will take what I have learned here and apply it to what my teacher has taught me. THANK YOU
Thank u. This fixed my life long swimming mistakes
I'm 37 when I started learning freestyle (usually only breaststroke). It took me 1-2 months to master breathing on one side, and another month to master bilateral breathing. I usually learn by myself and swim alone. Never give up!
Good. Clear, simple & effective. Well done
This video has been so helpful. All the way from Kenya i have learn t so much especially about not swimming straight,i am still to master my breathing techniques but i am getting there. Loving Swimming....
thanks fir the help i really need this vid bec on mon i will go to a swim comp
Good tips. Some of these are exactly what I needed. Thanks for posting.
this is so useful. Thanks so much
At last I found one video making some sense to struggler like me. Good job.
Awesome video, thanks from Colombia-South America
wow I had to search through a ton of videos b4 I found one that makes sense. this video was very helpful indeed. well done!
Wow. Amazing video. Thank you. I know how to swim already. But not with so much detail. This will improve my life a lot. Will watch many times to adjust as time goes on. Thank you! This one is the best video on the subject I've seen so far.
Wish I could hear her speak when I'm swimmming....I know it would help! Grt video..thank you !!
that was a gem of a video instruction and exactly what i was looking for. this would certainly help me refining my now-pathetic freestyle. Thanks for the nice and clear instructions too. keep it up
Exactly the mistakes I'd been making. Learned many things. Thanks for the video. Highly appreciated.
Very clear and easy to understand to the point, I am so THANKFUL!
I m watching you and always trying to practice in my swimming😍thank you very much
Great video. Thanks. I'll use this. Hi from 🇬🇧
excellent tips. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for an excellent video. I notice that as she swims, there is a big lag between one stroke and the next. There is a moment when both hands are in front. Is this just for demonstration purposes, or should the strokes not overlap? Maybe not overlap to help with form, then go to overlap?
Thank you! Your tip of rotating solved my breathing timing!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Brilliant. I'm a beginner. The breathing and the rotation are areas I have to work on. Also my kick, which is rubbish. Thanks again
Great video - thank you. I've just started having adult swimming lessons & these tips will really help !
Thankyou!! Very good tips, easy explained.
thanks, it really helped
Great tips. I love the recap list at the end of the video. I figured out my mistakes now. Thanks
Wow, thanks for endorsing the things I managed to figure out myself since I got back into swimming after a decades-long break. Actually, it's the first time I've taken my swimming seriously. In addition to the points in the video, one other thing I try to do is to synchronise my kicks with my arms. I do big, full-leg kicks and they seem to sync well with the opposite limb, so as my right arm comes over, I kick with my left leg. In other words, their rhythm is the same. I'm sure this makes a huge difference, but would be interested to hear if that makes sense to any swimming coaches out there.
very informative especially for the beginners. ..
Thank you for this great video , It's very useful not only for beginners .......
You are just awesome. Now I know where exactly I'm failing. 🙄
Great video! Love the pleasing voice and gentle narration, I will use these corrections today. Subscribed! More videos please 😊
Thank you for teaching. I will practice and share.
Thank you! That was very useful.
Just another tip, which I even notice in this tutorial. Freestylers should have bent elbows when their arm is above the water. Straight arm swimming (Which is what it is called when a swimmers arm is straight when recovering above water), for most people, creates problems and makes you go slower.
This is actually quite informative!
The first tip was so helpful. I swim WAY faster and it's easier to breathe because I am closer to the surface 😊
Well done to the point : I became an efficient swimmer following her advise 🦊
