I love how you are breaking down every step and make it easy to understand for people like me, who want to improve their swimming technique and rely on videos like yours. Thank you for your efforts and I want you to know that I appreciate it alot.
Thanks so much for your support!
Brenton, i’ve been watching your channel for about a year and your videos have made a big difference to my swimming.
I’ve gone from swimming in a medium lane to now the fast lane at sustained long distance pace very few of my triathlete buddies can live with unless its a short distance (i swim for a workout).
I recently swam in a pool that was 3c colder than normal and could feel the flow of water past me when my stroke was perfect and the opposite when it was not. More over, i can imagine open water swimming would do tbe same thing (not i’ve had the vourage to try yet).
Thanks again Brenton, genuinely appreciate what effortless swimming do.
Great work! It’s always nice to beat your mates so I’m glad I could help in a small way. Keep it up!
Great tip about keeping the shoulders up. Never seen it elsewhere.
At minute 4, a man is swimming with sinking legs to a new level. Someone needs to talk to him.
ejquezad 😂
He said, '...its a drill mate...honest!'
ejquezad He is a Triathlete practising his running, resistance training 😂
I’ve seen worse
I didn't know that was possible
Over a fracking minute, I cut over a minute per 100 yards the very first time I applied his instructions. I wish I could post the pics from the Garmin. I'm enjoying swimming a whole lot more.
Thanks so much for another great video and drills, can t wait to try them! I must say that I was subscribed to all the swim channel but this is THE ONE I have kept. The learning points are subtle yet you have a knack for making the solutions really practical and impactful. I would love to make one of the camp if I ever make it to "Down under". I have noticed on your site that you recommend the DMC elite fins, they seem like a great product, which one is best the Elite 1 or Elite 2?
Thanks Olivier I appreciate it :) I haven’t tried the new Elite 2 fins so I can’t comment but I love the Elite 1’s
I never ever write comments, but I just couldn't watch this and not thanking for posting it! No one talks about the shoulder when they tell you about the high elbow... Thanks a lot bro, I'd offer you a beer if I could
Thanks CMS - just post a beer to Melbourne, Australia. It’ll get to me 😂
Notes:
1. Keep shoulder close to head/ears when swimming - don't let it drop.
2. Form diamonds with your arms when you're in the water
The old man swimming like a seahorse in the other lane at the 4 minute mark made me laugh so hard. The way the camera was moving made him appear to be flying through the water. Anyhow keeping the shoulder closer to the head is something I've tried and will give it another try.
'Swimming like a seahorse' - too funny!
Looks like a polar bear
Now that you mention it, very accurate.
Sam: Ha ha ha, I hadn't seen your comment yet but I rewinded four times just to see him! Ha ha! Seahorse! I guess when I'm watching pro swimming videos, there are only pros in the basin. That's why I was completely taken by surprise by that old man xD I just focused on his abnormal center of gravity and on his leg kicks - that was freestyle!
Jaajajajajajaja what a sea horse!! Jijijiji
Since watching this channel I've shaved a whole minute off my 1-mile swim time. Many thanks!
Well done Wayne! Epic result - Brenton
I really enjoy these videos of yours. Chears from Montreal Canada.
Thank you so much for all your great coaching and analysis. I'm loving the pool so much more thanks to you.
One of the best videos on swimming....
I can kill hours on your channel Brent ... I have learnt and improved so much.
Thanks for watching!
This channel is freaking awesome! Thank you so much!!
Thanks!
Love these videos!! As a what not to do, at 4:00 I think the other swimmers legs might be sinking a bit :-D
I had to rewind a couple of times, its just too funny :')
thank you for this video as I never knew exactly what the catch was
currently i am learning to swim and I must say I am learning from these videos more than from my trainer.
Great video. I was getting a rub rash on the front of my shoulders. My chin would rub the front of my shoulder from dropping it too low during the catch phase. Dropped 1:30 in 1000m by focusing on keeping the shoulder up and getting my catch phase in a more powerful position. Thanks for the tip. It really helped.
Great drills, engaging the lats makes a huge difference
Bro thank you. So much easier than googling step by step
Thank you very much for the video. These small acts have a huge impact. I will practice this today. :)
My personal belief is the greatest difficulty in high elbow is inherent shoulder flexibility( or rather lack of it). Forcing the rotation needed to attain the very high elbow of Olympians I have come to believe is a big cause of injury to less gifted swimmers.
Going to give these drills ago in the morning . Thanks for this vid . I had to go back and look at the sea horse Tom N :)
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great video Brenton - I like those new drills! Elise
Thanks Elise - they’re really good ones for freestyle!
Mind blowing techniques! Fantastic teach!!
These videos are priceless
What about when you're rotating? Your shoulder is automatically going to drop
Very good remark indeed, as it is fundamental and it doesn’t come evident to me. Dropping the shoulder hinders a proper catch. A good way to measure it is by self awareness of the gap that forms between shoulder and chin. The more tired the bigger the tendency of this gap to grow.
Excellent tutorial!
Another great focal point! Nice one Brent!
Thanks Richie!
Thks will now pay more attention to my shoulder position and create a Diamond for the lats to work.
i figured it out. you have to hold your elbow high, while you protrude your shoulder forward by protruding your scapula forward. it feels like you caught the water. you have to learn to contract the right muscles at the right time, then rotate.
I feel like i should be paying u
Donations welcome :P
ironman tooltime ya really I am coach and I get paid for this video 😄😄😄😅
ironman tooltime Dude u feel ? Awesome sarcasm
Ankit Rai Evans are u talking about ur own sarcasm? Find a better use of ur time
ironman tooltime we both want to swim better than we are so u too find a better use of ur time if I am wasting my time talking shit u my friend are doing no better
Brenton - I see that your model (is that you, btw?) is using a 4 beat kick with what appears to be an easy rhythm to get used to. I've struggled with a 2 beat, but would like to try this out. Do you have any videos in your 5 year library on initiating a 4 beat kick?
In our 8 Week Faster Freestyle course we cover this in week 7
It's really specific, thanks so much
Great content. Thanks for sharing the drills.
thanks for watching Andy
Whew, that man at around the 4min mark , was he running? 😃
thanks
great vid with nice explanations! thx
A question (not a diss). I notice that swimmer's hand scoops back up slightly after entry. Is that ideal and what you'd like to see, or would a continuous downward trajectory provide more power and less drag? I see quite a few fast swimmers do this, but that seems counter to drag-minimization.
I see it quite often with many good swimmers, and it's that slight movement forwards and upwards that creates some lift out front for them. While I wouldn't teach it, it seems to be quite effective for them. Notice it doesn't drift up very high or very long, so it's a subtle movement that doesn't seem to slow them down.
Effortless Swimming, cool. Thanks
Great video guys, thank you!
Wonderful work!
Number of strokes on Garmin fenix is the one hand count so we if strokes per minute is 32 we have to multiply by 2?
Yeah! now I move from 1.25 to 1.20 or more [10 x 100 on 1.30] :)
Nice work Elect!
4:00 is humorous.
I've learned a lot from your videos and thus improved my freestyle, yet, as my right shoulder is worn out, probably due to the age, I cannot hold my right arm close to the face as you're showing it here so that this is probably what is slowing me down. There's not much I can do about it.
When lowering your thumb when inserting into the water, you turn your elbow to the outside......that makes it easier to swim with a high arm.....
that first guy is crazy fast
I don't get that 2:54 "shoulders and upper arm are one straight line"
It is alwas one straight line since there is no joint between elbow and shoulder
Honestly Im not a competitive swimmer and Im nearly 50 y/o but I swim thrice weekly and can complete 2.5 km. My dream is to have a video of myself swimming just like this and have it watched by me over and over again😁
Great video. Thanx! 😀
Thanks Robert
1:51 no probs
4:00 a coach's nightmare :D
Ah ha! The shoulder ! Tks!
4:00 the old man swimming vertically, tho
I need help with my catch
1:51 youre welcome
I think your videos are fantastic - have you got any European clinics planned for the future?
Not at this stage sorry John. Which country are you in?
Ah not to worry thanks, I'm UK based - I do like the look of your training camps!
We have the Hawaii camp in March and Thailand camp in October ✌️🌴
Thanks :-) I do like the look of them..I am tempted..I need to check finances & logistics out if it works for me
& fingers crossed, cheers
Please explain the kick cause you r not kicking all the time
who is the swimmer? Is that Brenton?
Solomon Wright - Winner of the Rottnest Channel swim in 2018
Astronaut is passing at 4:00.
Vertical swimming championships
Very beautiful, can you put translate arabic in video
Are you (or do you) do clinics across the ditch in NZ?
Not yet but would like to sometime - hopefully late 2019
@@EffortlessSwimming cool - is there some way I can be notified if you do? I've been stuck at 30mins/km - and tried the tips on this vid - wholly crap - felt way different - managed a 22 min 1st km, 25 min for 2 and a 27 for the last!!
Send us an email at support@effortlessswimming.com with your details and where in NZ you are and we will add you to our notification list
wow got some vertical swimmers in the other lane.
Great video
The thumbnail lol
The idea is to pretend like you are trying to push something back (a box) with your elbow, upper arm, and hand at the same time.
Who is that girl?
I don't think 'catch and pull' and 'hand below elbow below shoulder' mean what you think they mean. ;)
Bull's eye!
Great ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Soon after this moment (ruclips.net/video/d40c8WL2XJQ/видео.html), you say (elite swimmers') 'shoulders and upper arm are almost in a straight line'. It make sense to me, as that position would ensure the large back (lats) are fully engaged. Nevertheless, that is the first time I've heard anyone say that, despite having (over decades) watched many hundreds of videos and read countless articles and even a book on swimming technique. You should emphasize that point often.
@4:00 the guy in the opposite direction is the epitome of Ideal body streamline
Click bait Where's the girl in the bikini?
Hi good day to you, i have watched quite alot of your videos, i wanted to get a membership with you but i am not sure how often would you respond to my videos that i have would have sent you
Thank you
Looking forward to receive a reply to my message
Regard
Miranda
Hi Miranda, normally allow 5 days for me to provide you with an analysis :)
Effortless Swimming thank you for your respond 🙏🏾🌹
Your face look like James Magnussen
Can somebody with authority or very good references tell me if elite swimmers are faster in wetsuits? I have seen one article suggesting as much, but I want confirmation/rejection by somebody with expertise/experience.
It’s faster because of the buoyancy of a wetsuit
On a 1.5K swim I'd shave 2+ minutes with a wetsuit
447 a bad example kkkkkk

Dirty clickbaiter, there was a lady in the thumbnail!
High elbow catch is way over rated. Build rock solid legs and kick like hell. A 🦈 doesn't have a high elbow catch and it moves through the water pretty damn good. Focus on building yacht sized legs and ripping through the water with them. The arms, shoulders, back and core will fall in line from the leg movement. Besides, injury can result from an unnatural focus on this high elbow bullshit. Look at the underwater vids of Olympic swimmers and watch how fast they lick their legs, and their breathing is almost always out of one side of their mouth, rarely ever out of both sides. Most take only a few breaths per 50 meters. Study the best and copy.
Are you watching the Olympic 50 m or 1500 m event?!
No, it's your problem! not my - uncapes evrr. Effortles < You don't Svm!
