I really like how this video just got straight into it, no BS intro to waste our time. The only criticism for this video that I have is that it did not show side-by-side comparisons of the "correct" and "incorrect" ways of doing the movements.
I give finishing too far back sideeye since a way more destructive & common problem is swimmers not finishing their stroke, pulling their hands out at their waists. Another common problem even among good swimmers is crossing over either on the recovery or the stroke.
This is pretty good. None of my coaches had ever picked my problem up which was the bent elbow and it led me to having other problems like not catching the water. The coach I have now picked it up and we started to work on it. It's still a problem I'm trying to work on as I get lazy with stretching out during the cool downs and stuff. All I can say though is that working on my technique has really helped get rid of other problems like catching the water.
First mistake I don't consider it as a mistake. If you train for triathlon you need to practice for forward as well as backward looking. This is pretty hard to do because it drains more energy from you. But you need to practice it for open water swimming. I may be wrong but the guy swimming with "forward look mistake" is probably training for triathlon. He swimms mostly with his arms and using legs as stablilizers which is pretty common technique in triathlon swimming.
It kinda is ( from personal experience in the past I say ) , because If I look forward when I swim -instead of down - it slows me down ...And personally , it desorientate me :)) - I dont know about others , but for me is not a good thing looking forward .
@@andyjugravu94 Forward looking is a KEY thing in open water for navigation. Navigation is something that casual pool swimmer, who never swam open water, is not even aware of. So still it is a matter of context. If we are talking about fast sport swimming in a pool then probably it is a mistake because it certainly can pull you out of a stream line and generating a drag. But when we talk about open water swimming then forward looking is a must. If you would not navigate properly then your freestyle would have been even more slow because you could end up swimming in a completely wrong direction and thus unnesseserly lengthen your trace. And frankly the guy on a video is doing it pretty good (training to navigate that is). He raises his head not to much (which is very important for not loosing to much energy), in a right moment for a view while exhale and then turn his head for a breath. The technic commonly shown by profesional open water swimmers. So probably my main problem is a title of the video because we don't know what type of swimming we are talking about :)
Thank you for an awesome video comparing the wrong and the good way of doing the movements. The swimming movements done in the good way are so armonic that I could keep watching people swimming for many hours. It is just beautiful.
Thanks a lot for the video. I'm afraid I have been doing half of these things wrong. Next time I go swimming I'll try to put your advice into practice.
It’s very beautiful, informative very well explained. If the writing is lil bigger would be easier to read, maybe change the font size little bigger. Overall beautiful video with very relaxing music. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for this video! I am no expert in swimming but the six points made alot of sense to me. The way you present the information is on point, at least for me :)
2:37 hand looks like something I’ve heard a few coaches point out as a "don’t" - and the hand should do a final little backwards push before exiting the water..
Fucking YT and their stinky algorithm. Watch one Rogan podcast and you get f'ing sprayed with em. I’ve watched HEAPS of freestyle swimming but just discovered this great channel..
I think I will disagree with the last point here about the too soon arm pull. That particular pull is much more suited to sprints, especially if you are using the straight arm recovery. With the straight arm recovery, it is essential that the arms reciprocate, one pulls and the other recovers for max acceleration. the more 'catch up' style is more common in the middle and long distance swims, and is more energy efficient.

5:06 this is a cheat if you feel out of breath. In fact I swim long distances like this because I yet to develop breathing and can't keep my head down for long. I can swim ( without this mistake) max 100m now. With this mistake I can go 1500m because it does not choke me. How to develop breathing endurance.
@@Shazam999 well it's very personal too but I've worked hips with many of my students and they corrected the arm position in a very short time. I believe it depends on personal strength.
One thing i'd like to say, you dont have to actively realise these and stress about changing it, as you get better these naturally go away anyway. I was never really taught anything past how to actually swim as a young kid
good video, but questionable use. if you already install swimming with all mistakes in your subconscious ,it's very hard to get rid of without coach repeatedly yelling into you.
I love this video this video is awesome this video in the world hello world greatest video I love it by my name is Justin tovar I mean Justin tovar it’s Dustin with a G it’s so cool that I have a girl by that I have a crowbar
I COULD STAR IN THIS VIDEO ...demonstrating the ''dont's ''.
😂😂😂 I’ll be the co star 🤦🏽♀️
me too
Me too. Not all times. You a pilot?

I found this video awesome. Love the diagrams of correct position over the photo of mistake. I think I’m guilty of doing every one wrong!

Youre welcome

If you are struggling with form, use hand paddles, slow your stroke and focus on the arm movement, working well for me
Yes! I use Sporti neoprene webbed gloves for that purpose. It also builds muscle strength and endurance while focusing on technique.
Never had more helpful video than this one! Thank you Swim360, I'd appreciate if you make more videos like this, also for other styles of swimming
This is pretty good. None of my coaches had ever picked my problem up which was the bent elbow and it led me to having other problems like not catching the water.

Good video, it would be even more helpful to show side-by-sides off the bad form and correct form
This is the best swimming video i found so far. thanks alot
Great video. I'm currently taking a swimming class and watching videos helps calm my nerves.
Swimming is the best sport. Soo much fun once you get a good rhythm going.
Cannot disagree
Practical too irl unlike tennis
Very clear illustration of the hand entry position. Some other similar videos are stretching hand too close to water surface.
The technique explained in this video is super helpful! This is exactly what I needed and the best tutorial that I have seen so far :)
They Guy who is displayed in the correct video has a very nice Style! love it! Thanks for the video!
Great video! Thank you for all the details and angles.
This video is particularly helpful for me. I have been aware of something wrong with my techniques, and this videos points out all of them

Brilliant, I like and follow all your videos. Thanks
Thank you very much for this highly informative video!

A very informative video!
Thanks for the post.
Very helpful but some notice are very small I can't read it. But camera under water is more helpful than thousands of words. Thanks so much.
Glad to help!
a great video I've been doing about 4 of these mistakes can't wait to see if I can I get the problems sorted, thanks.
Such a great video on technique!
Very useful video, thanks. Much more specific than the usual videos of this type.
Great to hear that. Thanks!
trying to learn freestyle and falling way behind other swimmers. thanks a lot for this
It’s very beautiful, informative very well explained. If the writing is lil bigger would be easier to read, maybe change the font size little bigger.
Overall beautiful video with very relaxing music. Thank you so much.
Thanks for letting us know!

Great video. There are many like it but this is among the best.
Very instructive video!
Thanks for this!
"Pulling too early will cause you to sink, forcing you to bring your other arm over in a panic" lol.
2:37 hand looks like something I’ve heard a few coaches point out as a "don’t" - and the hand should do a final little backwards push before exiting the water..
Excellent video.. very helpful. Thanks!
Great tips thank you
Now I have found out why I was sinking. thanks for video.
Hey I think I saw 360 crew at Auckland Harbour Bridge swim today 🏊♂️❤🔥👍
Very informative and to the point.
Videos like these make me mad at myself for not watching them sooner.
How did they get a video of my swimming? lol.. Great video.
Very good video. But i do not agree about hip rotation issue. if you are not Sun Yang class swimmer, your hips get exhausted after 50m.
I appreciate these videos❤
Great video! thank you!
For the finishing too far out, which part of your leg do you recommend touching? Cause the video angle wasn’t too clear
Please respond I’m desperate
Your thumb should "scratch" the upper portion of your thigh
What a great video!!
Cool hints! Thanks!
Video made me realize that I basically look like a sea horse while swimming ha ha 😄
great video, thanks
very useful and essential advices
Fucking YT and their stinky algorithm. Watch one Rogan podcast and you get f'ing sprayed with em. I’ve watched HEAPS of freestyle swimming but just discovered this great channel..
Very good n helpful video
Thank you! So helpful
Very useful!
amazing video!
Best video.... thanks a lot
awesome video
Very nice
Swimming biomechanics isn't a simple subject. Many areas to keep in mind....
Superb!
awesome. thanks!!
👏👏👏👌🤩
Thanks ☺️

Good one!
Another mistake the last swimmer has demonstrated is spreading the legs too much apart and diagonally causing drag and slowing you down
I don't understand mistake number 3 and 5. Can't really spot the difference. pls explain? Thanks
Awesome video sir jii
Thanks so much I'm so slow
helpful, thanks
Glad it helps! thanks for your feedback
Perfect!!!
Didn't realize I shouldn't be flicking the end of the pull.
Your mistaking the term freestyle for crawl. Freestyle races are whatever stroke you want to use. The Crawl is the one being shown in the video.
zzsql yeah but everyone uses the crawl for anything freestyle, it’s generally accepted as freestyle
thank you:)
Cuanto metros tienes esa piscina de larho ??
Love it.
Last tip...most important
I laring something new faster how to swimming thanks 🏊🏻

How to develop breathing endurance.
3:25 i think his main problem were the hips, way too low. I believe he can achieve the right arm position after he corrects that.
His hips are too low because he's not getting enough pull from his upper body. Same thing happens to me when I get lazy with the arms.
@@Shazam999 well it's very personal too but I've worked hips with many of my students and they corrected the arm position in a very short time. I believe it depends on personal strength.
I got broken right leg by football so got nerve damage on my right foot and leg prevents me propulsion and technique etc :(
Shittt, heal up man
Try using a pull buoy between thighs to keep legs from sinking.
Lol! I must to check my elbows
One thing i'd like to say, you dont have to actively realise these and stress about changing it, as you get better these naturally go away anyway. I was never really taught anything past how to actually swim as a young kid
Is it possible to translate it in french please?
Great video! It is really important to work on the details and spend enough time on technic in the water :) (Christina, THEMAGIC5)
i have four of these 6 mistakes
Long distance only
Nothing about legs? Maybe in next part?
am doing all this mistakes and still able to float. Life continues
You should actually pull all the way back with your arms
5:36
Looked like they were rotating their hips enough, their shoulders should rotate more than their hips (?).
good video, but questionable use. if you already install swimming with all mistakes in your subconscious ,it's very hard to get rid of without coach repeatedly yelling into you.
I love this video this video is awesome this video in the world hello world greatest video I love it by my name is Justin tovar I mean Justin tovar it’s Dustin with a G it’s so cool that I have a girl by that I have a crowbar
All of those mistakes have only one reason
🙏🐬🙏
U
Good advise but appaling video. Show bad form followed by correct form
the "correct" swimmer has a massive scissor kick sometimes.... thats "his" poor form - you didnt mention anything but the upper body
I stopped watching at first mistake. I'm lifeguard.
Thx :D
