Underwater audio is a great idea. No less than three times have I been disturbed by somebody drowning. Each time I felt compelled to help. Had I had underwater audio, I would’ve been none the wiser and able to complete my workout uninterrupted.
Face floor, half head above waterline, one eye and ear underwater when breathing, arms at 1:00 and 11:00 when swimming, enter water with middle finger, extend on movement with shoulder, when you pull back pull with everything in your arm and shoulder, flutter kick;foot pointed straight short fast? Body rotates side to side to maximize stroke, stretch as far as needed
Swimming is amazing. I’ve been an athlete my whole life but never learned how to swim. I just started taking lessons and it wasn’t until swimming that I truly properly learned how to control my breathing. A great help indeed.
I need one step before. I struggle to breath out under water and rapidly breathe in in a short time above water without getting water in my mouth nose etc., occasionaly choking or getting air in my stomach etc. Is that not something beginners struggle with? :D
Perfectly normal for beginners, yes. You can practice by standing in the shallow water and leaning over so that your back and face is in the water, perhaps one hand outstretched to the wall edge (coping). Turn your head to the side, without lifting the head, take a good breath, return to facing the pool bottom, and slowly exhale through the nose. Work on a slow, long exhale, starting with a 4-count, then try for 6, 8, 10 count. Whilst swimming, it's important to keep your head and neck in a down facing position, and to not lift your head up to breathe, only turn the neck, while keeping most of your head still underwater. Head down also helps keep your hips up, closer to the surface, which keeps legs from sinking. Work on being as high and flat in the water as possible, and reach out far with the arm opposite your breathing side, to increase the amount of time you have, for taking the breath.
Thank you. I always learn from your videos. I learned as an adult so I am always working on it ! I want to start using your app on my watch and follow a plan.
My newly redone community pool stays open year around regardless of weather except lightning. I get to lap swim everyday at a lovely 80 degree water temp. Today its 47 degrees outside & raining. I can’t wait to get to the pool! 😃 This was a big part of why I retired early at 57. The golden years aren’t golden if you’re stressed out by idiot managers, 3 hr a day commutes & office drama. Bedsides all that, swimmers have beautiful bodies & are healthier than most people in the gym. Life is good!!🏊♀️☁️🌧️🌞👍🏽🩱👙
I just recently Joined a gym with a lap pool and wanted to learn how to freestyle correctly. I’m noticing many bad habits I need to correct. I tend to forget to kick, I have a fear of sucking in water so I lift my head to breath (not like your video) and I haven’t got the hip roll thing down yet. Do you roll your hip With your shoulders? Great tips; thanks
Yeah when you swim you rotate your whole body! Something i like to do when i swim is practice good rotation and i do a drill called sassy shoulders. Basically your head stays straight and you just kick twisting your body.
I'm having difficulty mastering breathing while swimming freestyle. I don't seem to be inhaling enough. Are there any practices that would help with this? Thanks.
Is there a video on sort of how to actually get started with this? It’s really hard when you get in the pool in lanes and everyone is powering up and down and you just don’t know where to start. I can see this will be super helpful once you get going. I can swim breast stroke confidently but am terrified to actually ‘start’ doing crawl. Help!!! I want to do a triathlon nd can’t with breast stroke! Would so so love to be able to do freestyle well and not look like a moron trying!
We have lots of videos for swimmers of all levels! Check out some of our playlists, like this one with all of our Freestyle Tips: ruclips.net/p/PLi3IXDSttB4oCiTeRQ0wvEmqhp_YavTeu
Hey i know this is an old comment but I’m in the same situation and I highly recommend basically just finding a time your local pool is empty like early in the morning on the weekend so you can get a lane to yourself and go as slow as you need
@@Bulhbluhbuy thanks for replying. I just never found that time unfortunately. It was always busy. Nightmare. I ended up joining a gym with a pool and some lessons which is bankrupting me but feels worth it for now! Still find it really hard but am getting there. Good luck to you too!
this is exactly where I am at also! I can breastroke (w/breathing), and backstroke is slow but fine. And I'm not going near butterfly! But I want to learn how to freestyle, as I end up sucking in water after a few strokes. At the moment, I go up the pool using breastroke and switch to freestyle for the final 5 stokes or so. Not sure if this is recommended (switching strokes mid-lap), but it feels like the end of the pool is near and I can keep it relaxed. Then I will just switch over earlier and earlier until I can get 25m, and then 50m+. I guess one thing to remember is when you do freestyle, you probably travel faster than you think you are. You don't need to 'power it' (unless you are training for the olympics), and a relaxed and steady attempt will still look reasonably quick compared to other strokes? Another thing I might try is using kickboard (to work on legs and breathing), and then pullbuoy (to work arms and breathing), and then put it together
If your head is considered 12 o'clock then your left hand would enter the water at 11 o'clock and your right hand would enter at the 1 o'clock position. Hope this helped.
These videos are great! I'm getting back into this after some years. My question is, is this a change from what used to be taught or am I just remembering wrong? I took advanced adult lessons and Master Swimming in the 1980s and I was taught to put the thumb in the water first, do a little scoop outwards to grab more water, and then move your hand under the midline of the body, so the whole underwater phase is more of an S shape. So that's the way I've been swimming ever since. Next time I'm in the pool I will try it your way. But I'm curious about when this changed and are there still people doing it "my" way?
Hi Tracy! Great question. The S pull was discredited in the 90s. While there may be older swimmers still pulling this way, the more modern pull should be taught nowadays takes into account shoulder health, rotation of the body, and the physics of the pull motion.
I love when I reach that synchrony with the water. The rhythmic woosh woosh woosh woosh and nothing else matters, it's nirvana. That's when I swim more effortlessly.
I used to hate free style. I always chose breast stroke, back stroke. I had the same issue as you. Now freestyle rocks! These videos and perseverance work. I'm 71, restarted swimming last February. (I quit swimming 15-20 years ago because I kept getting swimmer's ear). I now swim 70 lengths, (35 laps) in under an hour (45-50 minutes). I swim 5-6 days a week. Don't give up. It feels amazing now, thanks to these tutorials.
P.S. I am fortunate to live near a health and wellness facility. I focus on staying as healthy as possible in order to stay out of an old folks warehouse (assisted living). 😁
Just started swimming again as I put weight on after a knee replacement op. Swimming burns calories so it can definitely help with weight loss but it does depend on how hard/far you swim but anything is better than nothing. Exercising in water- walking - aerobics is also very good because the water supports your body weight, avoids the sort of impact you get from running/ HIT etc but provides resistance. Like all exercise swimming makes you stronger and fitter which also means your muscles develop and burn more calories.. excellent exercise especially if you can combine it with a healthy diet - not some freaky fad but more fruit and vegetables and less processed stuff..hope that’s helpful.
Great video,I have a question: How do I swim(freestyle) without water entering my hears?... it f freaks me out, and I still don't know how to come up for air.
Hi! I would like to thank you for your tips, they gave me more confidence to start swimming and I want to keep it as a daily exercise. I do have a question… I need a swimming cap that might keep my hair entirely dry and I appreciate any advise. Thanks!
So glad to hear that! Keep up the great work! Unfortunately, nearly all swim caps will typically get your hair wet, since they're made to contain your hair to reduce drag and keep the pool clean.
My problem with freestyle is that after 4-5 breaths I feel really awkward and uncomfortable and have to stop. I've never been able to swim a full lap of freestyle. I've had this problem my entire life. I just cannot get into a consistent rhythm. I am in better than average shape for my age because I run regularly, so I don't think it's because I'm not in good enough shape, but maybe it is. I don't know. I can't even use any of these tips in this video because they're basically beyond my ability (my nonexistent ability, that is).
Your head creates a bow wave so you actually get a pocket of air to breathe in without lifting your head. Even though one goggle is in the water, the mouth is in the clear
I am going to have a THR surgery and google advices no swimming for 6weeks and no breaststrokes swimming and then one article said breaststroke don’t cause the joint to deslocate ? What do you know about this subject?

I just recently started swimming again after a LONG time of not doing it.....I'm fairly out of shape and I like swimming as a big guy because there's no impact on my knees or feet (unlike stupid treadmills :P ) Since I simply haven't done cardio exercises in a LONG time...my breathing is not very good when I'm doing physical activities. So, I sort of just figured how to move my legs enough kind of like you did in this video but not as consistent. I keep my head out of the water as I swim and kind of do the arm motions that you're doing in this video but I don't reach way back when my arms come back near my body...... When I'm done swimming I feel good and tired like I had a nice workout. Should I try to adjust my swimming to this? or am I ok for now?
Hi, maybe try getting a swimmers snorkel so your head can stay down and you won’t strain your neck for long periods of time while swimming. I just got into swimming and have trouble breathing on my side and the snorkel has helped me :)

How can i improve the follwoing problem: I can't stay for so long with my face under water, I can do it in Breaststroke for every 2nd stroke but not in freestyle. This is all due to a trauma that I had once
Re trouble keeping face in water for freestyle swimming, due to trauma. ( your comment is a year old, but i will respond anyway😁). There are 2 ways i would tackle this, having had similar issue. There is a therapy called EMDR, Eye movement desensitisation, which is highly effective and quick in relieving/reducing the kinds of traumatic responses which are just automatic reactions in the body. It is quick, painless and really works. Second, i would start very gentle desensitisation, accustoming yourself by tiny degrees, and doing deliberate relaxation deep slow breathing, calming self talk, friend with calming talk, during these activities. For example, in the safety of your home, think about the situation you are scared of. Imagine vividly being in the water with face in water. Notice your feelings and thoughts. At slightest instance of tension, distress or anxiety, release the thoughts, calm breaths, self soothing self talk. You are safe, etc. Next try same thing perhaps with a wet cloth on your face, or in the bath or sink. Next in the pool, but briefly to start. Dont move on to next steps unless happy with first one. If you have a bad day, go back a couple of steps. You are retraining your brain and body that this situation is now safe, you know what to do and can manage the risk well. Good luck! Dont let needless fear hold you back, just appropriate caution.
Don't think I quite understood his explanation on engaging the sense of taste....other than not tasting the water ofc...Did anyone pick up what he's referring to please?
My unvle says u can't learn swimming without drinking leters of water (my uncle teaches me to swimm) and yes i have ate the water and yes It's kinda tasty
Just turn your head and breathe... Haven't found a single video yet that teaches breathing. It's so f* difficult for someone who was never submerged yet
Freestyle swimming is NOT a style; it is category for competition in which a competitor can use any style he or she wants to use. The fastest style that is used in the freestyle category for competition is called the Australian crawl.

12 or 13 steps you must perform in precise synchronization. How did it ever get the name “freestyle”? Seems like anything but!

I think the way you are breathing is wrong. Maybe you don't exhale properly underwater, maybe you are not relaxed, maybe your muscle is tense.
How do you have one eye under the water without getting water in the mouth?
Your head creates a bow wave so you actually get a pocket of air to breathe in without lifting your head. Even though one goggle is in the water, the mouth is in the clear

4:00 good taste of music brother , become comfortably numb in water ' pink floyd '
It'd be nice to have some who doesn't rush and who speaks properly with good articulation explain this.
Didn’t talk about the all important breathing aspect
Great video, but taste and smell? Almost completely irrelevant to swimming, why include that in there?
As chatGPT puts it:
The sense of smell is not typically considered a critical factor in competitive swimming. In swimming, physical attributes like strength, endurance, flexibility, and technique are more significant. The ability to smell does not have a direct impact on a swimmer's performance in the water. Other senses, such as sight and touch, play a more vital role in navigation and pace management during swimming. The primary focus for competitive swimmers is usually on physical conditioning, technique refinement, and mental preparation.
Maybe it goes with the idea of "be one with the water" which makes people swim more relaxed, mindful, and effortless.

Did you go to Virginia tech?
to engage with the sense of smell, be sure to inhale through your nose underwater
I'm trying to learn this stroke my issue is I'm scared that put my face in the water cause I can't hold my breathe under water please help with that
You don't need to hold breathe all time. You need to release the air slowly.
What is the video do you use under water? I would like to video myself.
We film with a GoPro underwater!
