I'm a huge fan of Dave Scott's swimming training videos here at youtube. He's amazing.
Everything in the video makes sense to me as a begginer.
I really appreciate the time people takes to show us something good, with quality and with knowledge of matter.
I will use this to help my 7yo boy how to swim correctly.
:D
I'm training for my first triathlon. Thanks for the tips. Swimming is not only the weakest part of the race for me but in every aspect of exercise. I have been working on my technique and these tips really help. Thanks!
Great detailed advice that isn't present in the other swim technique videos I've seen.
Seriously.... Thank you so much. I've been trying several different techniques and still swim the same. I'm not a good swimmer, but love swimming cause it's a fun challenge. Thanks for the vid again.
I utterly agree with you. I had been a swimmer once and was told to keep my head a bit lifted, to look in front of me. With the head down it actually means to have a greater water resistance
I'm training to race my first triathlon. While I've lived on the beach my entire life, I am not a very strong swimmer. Thanks for the techniques and I can't wait to incorporate them into my workout!
thanks Dave Scott for sharing very effective advices really thanks a lot
Awesome instructions about becoming an efficient freestyle swimmer.
did anyone else LOL at 0:12? The narrative and visuals together were too perfect.
thanks...I am teaching swimming to a friend and this will definetely help her understand my point. People only understand when they see professionals in videos? wild. She is funny that way.
I've been thinking about that. I think he means the angle between the whole arm (not just elbow) and shoulder. Your arm hanging at your side would be 0º. Arm in line with your torso, directed straight forward (parallel to the surface), would be 180º. He advises to extend your arm so it ends up a little more angled down than than just straight forward, that's the 170º.
Another way of looking at this is what "Total immersion" recommends: just find the arm angle at which you feel balanced.
very helpful...the fine points really help..its was great learning tips...thanks!!
I started swimming in the Year of Constantine 306 A.D. and have been ever since. I am 1,702 years old. ;) So ha got you all beat.
and im talking about the back of your stroke as well as the front. my coach tells me i hav a very good reach at the front... i need to make sure i extend at the back as well...
something for me to work on :)
Very helpful tips.
Great video! Keep them coming!
yes swimming does help you lose weight as much as or even better than running. i suggest you join a swimming club because a lot of leisure swimmers find it hard to gain the full benefits of swimming without a coach.
you said your knees hurt when you run, you might find that if your shoulders are as weak as your knees they are likely to hurt while swimming. so i suggest you join a club so a coach can help you and remember to always do a warm up and cool down.
it depends wat distance your doing. if you're doing a 50m or 100m you dont need to get a full extension if it means you can get a faster stroke rate.
as a long distance swimmer myself i try to get a full extension and make the most of every stroke. this allows me to hav a slower stroke rate which is not as much hard work while still maintaining a decent speed.
i think its important to stretch your arms as much as you can that brings automatically your opposite shoulder out of the water and makes its easier to stroke...
exactly - I'm hoping you aren't swimming in an environment that you are completely oblivious too.
That's why there are markings on the bottom of a swimming pool, so you have an estimate as to how far away from the wall you are.
Hand-water entry is also ideally to be inserted thumb-first at an angle to the water-level.
useful tips and yet to try them out ;)
he said about 6 ft ahead, i dont agree with not fully pulling, i believe you should extend your pull untill your arms can reach, and bring your arm back into the water keeping your elbow bent while putting your hand in streamlined
@muffinqueen10293 People who are looking for videos like this are usually triathletes looking to improve their times. You don't improve your time by ignoring bad habits that make you inefficient in the water. Swimming is definitely not a simple thing for most people, technique is more important in swimming than just about any other sport.
very useful information
@Fernandoandretn
Lift first dude, after swimming your muscles are very relaxed.
great video'
dang, i really need this. im in highschool and next semester swimming is required. almost everyone in my class knows how to swim. but i dont.. crap.. lol
Thank you for posting! Very good advice! :)
very nice. thanks!
Great vid.
both, your muscles will even out better
A pull buoy is supposed to make your arms pull more instead of your legs kicking.
thanks for this video.
Hey this is great - thank you so much!!
awesome!
In my case the high elbow is great for 50m. For a long swim (and of course slow), it's not ok as I get tired too soon.
ANyone agreeing with me?
I have a problem with left arm,cannot take it out of the water for elbow to appear first.I can only do it half the way if I turn my head left.
any tipps???
if one were to swim and lift weights the same day, which one should one do first?
Thanks!
Thanks.That was very helpful. : )
@procyclingmanager08 great story can you tell it again please?
it is clear. thanks
please add adding the side breathing mechanics
i disagree with one thing in this, you should not keep your head straight down, it should be looking down and foreword sort of diagonally. if you have it straight down your whole head will be submerged creating more resistence. it might sound picky but if you want to reach the top level at swimming, you dont want to be adding a second every 100m to your time, which is what a bad head position can do.
aero is AIR...lol you meant aqua-dynamic LOL:) but i knew what you were talking about :)
Many times, being a champion doesn't mean to has a great tecnique, being a champion means to has a lot of things. Obviously, there is not just one perfect tecnique, some tips maybe different,e.g. A.Popov & I.Thorpe...Anyway, I'm agree with cianwash: when you swim your head shouldn't be facing down, not just to avoid to crash against a pedal boat or the swimming pool wall, but it's usefull to keep a good streamline position...But we have2remeber that swimming in the sea is different from pool...
man this is nice
how many olympic athletes do you see swimming with their head straight down?
When your swimming you guys put out the oxygen when the head is in the water? or just throw n get air when u put ur head out of the water?
Sorry my english sucks D:
Troféu Chico Piscina 2010 - Team São Paulo 4 x 100 Medley Relay
I am 5.10,15 and have been swimming most of my life..
Good news now guys/girls...
I had to do a p.e project and do sports evry day for 30 days for 0.30 hours..so me and some of my m8s went to the swimming pool to do some lenths..and this guy came up to me and said..: Hey..you there?and i was like: Me?(in a worried voice,i thought i was gonna get kiced out of the pool!)and he said:Do you have a swimming team? and i said:no...
soo he said come try out on monday.. and i said:ok YEAHHHH
@cogiterium
Wow cool sentence...
is it from you?
also rotating shoulders
@Jamesyitu
instructor no good? i see that all the time, in the pool and in the gym. As a qualified swimming coach and personal trainer I am interested to know what it is about your teacher that falls short of the mark. Can you let me know, maybe with an example. On the positive side at least you managed to notice something was wrong. Well done.
By the way I have posted a video on swimming, 'swim front crawl swim freestyle animation', check it out and let me know your reaction. bye 4 now.
so what about breathing techniques?
Where's a good place to get the tubing at 1:43?
I was born in the water....haha...
@TheLeilisa did i ask ????
@laubeatz
so far i have only posted 1 video. please check it out, 'swim front crawl swim freestyle animation' and let me know what you think. thanks, now, as for the breathing, just brush your hip aside and roll to air. sounds easy doesn't it. it is, but like all things it takes practice.as your elbow exits the water(after the 'pull' phase, your hand is naturally brushing aside your hip, roll to air here, front arm stays long as you breathe. good luck
Six times ironman? Wow. Was that full on iron man or the Silverman
this stroke isn't really for a 100m sprint. in a 100 look at getting your arms going like a windmill and keeping your head still. you should aim to break your 50m pb in the 1st 50 and go on the break your 100m pb through sheer speed of rotation and kick.
ya! that too! LOLOL
Yes you do, otherwise you aren't doing the stroke properly and you are making it incredibly uncomfortable for yourself.
Did you read the description? "Six-Time Ironman Champion..." I'm sure Dave Scott knows what he is talking about.
actually thats the way you're suppose to.
i think you're putting too much into this.
i think that swimming should be a simple thing and shouldnt be overloaded with so much info.
whatever works for you should be good enough (if you just dont bend any limbs).
i mean, i dont do most of this and ive been swimming for 4 years
i have won many medals and still havnt changed my style of swimming
even if it might not be "correct"
swimming is the own person's style.
@darci480 did i ask???
why is it so damn difficult while swimming?!:/
I FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE WEIRD RUclips
@navycam4
I like your attitude. Keep going.
Please check out my video on front crawl, 'swim frontcrawl swim freestyle animation',
It is about timing. In order for the hips to power the stroke, the arms have to be in a certain position just before the body roll. ( after what i call the swing and fold movement, others call it the catch phase)
let me know what you thought. thanks. from a swimming professional who geuinely cares about his pupils progression. nice one and happy laps.
I am 5.8 :(
The example swimmer drops his elbow ;) it look horrible lol
@procyclingmanager08
cool story, tell it again. tell it at a party and you won't make friends cuz it's lame.
FIRST
@mar504
check out my video, swim front crawl swim freestyle animation , I hope to show in very simple terms, linking the part body movement with the whole body movement. timing really.
let me know your response to it please. I want to be the best coach, so people can reach their potential. thanks
i would like to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.
@TheBlacksheep2020 who the heck cares? I can hear him fine. Sumthin wrong with ur ears?
If you hate this at the beginning or sumthing, why did you keep watching it then?
