The swimming pool where I go to doesn't allow camera.. Can your app improve my swimming in that case. Does the app has diet plan as well? I am just a beginner trying to build correct posture and stamina.
At age 52, i decided to learn swimming. As an adult learner, we want to understand first, then apply! This video is very helpful. Can't wait ti get into water and try these techniques!
Great!! How old are you now? I started two yrs ago at 46. My beginner tip: try to hold on to the water as you rotate forward, more than pulling the water. ( ruclips.net/video/7CFf1G4NkK4/видео.htmlsi=YVAgXsKn6T2_oAMb) Actually there might be other people in the pool that can review your technique if you don’t have a coach.
I have always been impressed about fast swimmers (young and old), but nice to see I’m slowly getting some progress. For me, it helped getting paddles for my hands.
Love this. My kid's USA swim coaches don't even go into this much detail. This is more like the clinics we send him too. Now I am learning to swim on my own and these videos are amazing. 🎉
Phantastic slow-motion and clear teaching. Showing the aesthetic art of easy swimming and coming into the flow with water. Sorry for my english. I‘m german
As I’ve always wanted to master my freestyle this is the best video I come across with the very clear instructions as it’s for why and how to. I definitely will apply it when I return to the pool from the flu. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us Fares👍
Greetings And Salutations this upload made myself recall when I first got into swimming & triathlons. I actually told my swim meet instructor that '' I want to train like I was an intrepid swimmer.'' Good Luck THANKS
I just only yesterday learned freestyle it was like EUREKA - its so easy . I signed for swimming membership 3 weeks ago - I was good at breaststroke with head up ..I just found more relaxing Frog style ( I am from Poland) . ..so after 20 years not swimming at all , I decided to go swimming , and fall in love again.. I will learn now all techniques soon with the help of yours and others on You Tube .
Thank you very much for your clear & detailed tutorial on freestyle. With these key points, I believed my skills should improve & make a happier swimmer😊
I have most of this down just need to refine as I returned to swimming after a hiatus and need to remind myself / build back muscle mem. Wish me luck! It’s huge deal for me to to return after struggling with cfs. Also I feel swimming moves energy and density out of our body. It’s giving to body a non dense earth free way to be in the world.
Wow, Thanks so so Much. You covered every single detail in this video. You answered every single question I had. I’ll use this video to practice with. I just know I’m gonna get better at swimming watching this video again and again. And then practising. again and again

Wow what a great video. Because I have some shoulder issues sometimes I use open hands to alleviate the pressure in the shoulder .... I have difficulties keeping the body position when I breath. I will try these drills.
I have a question : I used to swim with one side breathing instead of bilateral breathing. Do you recommend that I continue my way of breathing, or when I do many laps, is bilateral breaching going to give me advantages over side breathing? However, bilateral breathing is uncomfortable because I am not used to it.
It is different when someone really explain the reasons and whys, I have never understood why to do a short drill swimming with my hands closed now I see the reason , makes sense.
1- Regarding the method of blowing from the mouth under water, the problem is that when I start to open my mouth to blow under water, water begins to enter, so what is the solution? 2- I tried blowing air out of my mouth and it was good at first. However, as I progressed in swimming, I began to have difficulty expelling all of the air. What is the solution? 3- Why do I get tired quickly while swimming? Note that I start out very well, but as I continue swimming, I find myself tired and in need of a break. 4- I am accustomed to blowing air out of my nose into the water, and when I swim in the sea and when I turn my head inside the water, sometimes salty water enters to my nose and causes a painful burning sensation, so what should I do? Is the solution a nose plug? Or is there another solution without the plug? 5- My real problem is exhaling (blowing air into the water) which prevents me from continuing proper swimming. What is the best solution? could you please specify a video for all above questions? Regards
These videos are so helpful. I just started swimming for exercise a month ago, and the breathing technique is something I need to work on. After just one lap, I need to take a break to catch my breath. So, evidently I'm not breathing right. (I'm in good shape, go running alot.. etc.. but this swimming is a totally different exercise!) Is it bad if just start swimming with a snorkel? That seems like it would allow me to keep breathing, and keep swimming without taking break. Or.. would the snorkel-use introduce bad habits?
This swimming style is the best for physical fitting and workout.It's good for older folks and those with joint issues who may have joint and ankle pains running on the treadmill or exercising on a stationary bike.But it can be indoors😂
this question is mainly for backstroke, how do you manage to swim straight while doing backstroke, unfortunately i use the roof of the Aquatic centre, but the roof lines are not straight so i always hit the wall or rope. When i freestyle i follow the line in the pool to stay straight. Maybe i should close my eyes and use instinct, but i probable swim so crooked i end up in the parking lot HAHA
Don't worry - we've all been there! You should try to use your peripheral vision to eyeball the laneline, and work on one-arm backstroke drill to even out your pull strength :)
Thank you so much @@FaresKsebati , i just came back from the pool just now but i did backstrock without my arms, kinda flapped them on the side to make sure i dont feel the wall or rope, had some good laps and one that i ended up in the other lane and dont know how that happened HAHA i will try and eyeball tomorrow :)
I was trying to turn only my head every time trying to breathe and it disturbingly always used to be submerged inside the water. I’ll try twisting the entire body to see if I am able to catch a breath. Thanks!!
Question specific to open water swimming, how do I stop my feet from dragging when I need to look up to spot where I’m going? There are no lines at the bottom of the ocean so I need to look up every few strokes and my feet sink. Thanks!
Thanks. I swim for 30 minutes and break for 10 minutes and swim for 40 minutes and break 10 minutes and swim for 30 minutes. 3 time's at week. Is there bad or good? I am 54 years.
This is really effective. many many thanks for making the video. By watching this video I tried today and started swimming in the water. Just yesterday I tried and watched the video yesterday in night and today I applied those technique... I was able to swim. ❤
hhmm, that is gonna be tough.. core stabilty, with that counterweight around my core.. But let's start with my head position first tomorrow.. i do think i am looking down, but maybe not enough.. and the catch is also in need of improvement.. i know i use my ars aswell to move water, but not even close to what i think you are talking about.. that is gonna feel weird i think, just got to get through the hard part.. And i thought i was ok with my head with breathing. I breath every 3 strokes to not move my head too much.. so i wonder what is happening when i start to do this "natural way of body turning when reaching out the arm" as i usually do bilateral breathing. Thx for the tips
I’ve been swimming for a year now and I would say I’ve learned freestyle pretty fast. Not perfect but I would say my form is really good. What’s funny is I solely swim for fitness/recreation but I’m too obsessed about my form. I don’t know if that’s really warranted. 😅
What frustrates me about swim technique videos is that the body your parents or Darwin gave you will determine how you should swim. Janet Evans held the 1500m free record for about a decade or so. Michael Phelps's head goes completely underwater when he goes to pull with his right arm. I would like to see a technique video breakdown by body type.
Phelps won because he Was faster than everyone else...not necessarily because he had perfect technique..don't confuse the two...he could improve his technique and go even faster but why would he need to
What makes you come to watch this vedio is a lady swimmer today on my lane was freestyling amazingly next to me , i always think i m good but i need more specific techniques 😅
question for the group: why did they change all 4 strokes to include butterfly in each one? you didn't used to be allowed to do butterfly in freestyle and backstroke, and you had to keep your head and neck rigid in breaststroke, not bobbing like a dolphin's.

Me too 😂
Now that i have found a good place to learn from. i am joining the university aquatics club next year. I can do this.
12 years PE in school, never had anything CLOSE to this. Thanks!
Happy swimming!
@@FaresKsebati I used your guidance on stroke techniques yesterday... I discovered a whole new (under-seas) world!!!
Thank you for the very informative video 🙏God bless you always and happy swim 🙂
(I'm learning how to swim 😅)
Who else is watching this in bed😅
😂
though I am watching it on sitting in a desk are we supposed to be watching it on a swimming pool??
Me 😂

Are you watching me

Have you had a chance to practice? Any tips for another beginner?

@ttotl still 52! Just learned this summer.. still struggling on breaking techniques- it is more in my brain!☹️
I have always been impressed about fast swimmers (young and old), but nice to see I’m slowly getting some progress.
For me, it helped getting paddles for my hands.
"The water is 800 times more dense than air" is the swimmer equivalent of "the midochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"
This nice
Yea, midodochondria in the Dodo which have gone extinct
Mitochondria*

middolochondriasaurus?
Love this. My kid's USA swim coaches don't even go into this much detail. This is more like the clinics we send him too.
Now I am learning to swim on my own and these videos are amazing. 🎉
Love it. Happy swimming!!
It is different when you in 47° in Maine lifeguarding.
Thanks!
Happy swimming!
This by far the best video that ever exist about explaining how to swim
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us beginners!🤩
Phantastic slow-motion and clear teaching. Showing the aesthetic art of easy swimming and coming into the flow with water.
Sorry for my english. I‘m german
Thanks for watching
I think this is the only vedio where i came across class room teaching on board, which is very easy to understand the body mechanics behind swimming.
Excellent lesson, great explanations coach. You are awesome!
1st view ! Thanks Fares, that's definitely gonna help a lot of people like me, how want to take their freestyle further !
As I’ve always wanted to master my freestyle this is the best video I come across with the very clear instructions as it’s for why and how to. I definitely will apply it when I return to the pool from the flu.

This is so helpful. After scouring dozens of tutorials on YT and downloading a few apps, this is everything. Thank you!

This is pure gold, trying to learn how to swim @ 45…thx for the tips!
Happy swimming
This is the best advertisement for the app, really convinced me to give it a try
exactly what i was looking for , just started to swim again after 50 years
old, gray haired
Nice video and the techniques are really explained elaborately in an interesting way.Thanks Fares for making such an important video.
Thank you bro, I am also facing the same difficulty. I will try to follow your instructions
Thank you for the detailed but easy to follow explanations. Which swimming watch do you recommend for someone with a small budget?
Absolutely the best video explanation for freestyle I haver seen and I am 76!! TY
Wow, Thanks so so Much.
You covered every single detail in this video.
You answered every single question I had. I’ll use this video to practice with.
I just know I’m gonna get better at swimming watching this video again and again.
And then practising. again and again
It's all about practice and dedication! Keep up the hard work!
Absolute best video out there on this! Thank you so much
Cuerpo en superficie
Mirar hacia abajo (no hacia adelante ! )
La brazada de crol tiene que entrar y rápidamente torcer el codo para agarrar más agua que empujar para atrás "brazada vertical temprana"
Siempre recordar que la brazada no se cruce , cada una paralela en su lado
Respiración: 1 oreja y un ojo en el agua durante la brazada de crol
Algo que no esta en este video pero acabo de ver en otro:
El roll de empuje en la pared de la pileta. si bien el cuerpo y la cara quedan mirando el techo /superficie del agua cuando rotamos, rapidamente nos lateralizamos para volver a nado .
Tip: mientras más espuma hagas al nadar, peor es. Significa que más resistencia te está ofreciendo el agua, por lo tanto más lentitud.
Wow what a great video. Because I have some shoulder issues sometimes I use open hands to alleviate the pressure in the shoulder .... I have difficulties keeping the body position when I breath. I will try these drills.
Fares, your tips really help improve my swimming technique. And yeah, water is 800 times more dense than air ;-)
best video explaining it properly i have seen so far. wish I could understand the feet part better though

Just keep practicing breathing consistently and you'll get better. Make sure you're also blowing out air when you're underwater.
First test to find out if you have enough stability and balance: can you float in streamline?
Life would be easier if every 'How-to' video was made this way.
Excellent Video. Thanks for all the hard work. Appreciated it.
What a lovely place to swin, i would love swimming here every day🙂. Where is this lol?
This is quite the knowledge!! I can tell you know what you’re taking about
Watching this lying on my couch and trying to internalize all the steps coach is telling us 🤯
This is PERFECT tutorial! Thank you!
Great video, thanks! Non tip question, I love your goggles, what brand are they? Thanks :)
Wow well explained.❤❤❤ It was best you write the name of the App. There are many out there and they all mention swim …
This swimming style is the best for physical fitting and workout.It's good for older folks and those with joint issues who may have joint and ankle pains running on the treadmill or exercising on a stationary bike.But it can be indoors😂
0:32 the illustration is sooo beautiful 😂😂
Fares , please teach balance breathing... it easy ... to do it correctly first time learning . Bilateral breathing
wow, so many great helpful tips from your videos! thanks!
Liked the illustration… thanks I will try
Fantastic! It really helped, thank you👍

man, you're great! thank you! such valuable info
Good job, Fares!
Awesome video. Just one question when are you over reaching?
could you do a q and a? please
Thankyou sir for this informative video , respect from India
Every video of you I watch increases the feeling that we'll get a one question test at the end: how many times denser is water than air?
I was trying to turn only my head every time trying to breathe and it disturbingly always used to be submerged inside the water. I’ll try twisting the entire body to see if I am able to catch a breath. Thanks!!
thanks for the video
it really helped me a lot

I am 54 years.
When do you breathe out? Under the water during strokes?
thank your for your lesson it's really effective
Saya tidak mengerti bahasa inggris tapi saya mampu memahami apa yang dijelaskan. Terima kasih kakak
This is really effective. many many thanks for making the video. By watching this video I tried today and started swimming in the water. Just yesterday I tried and watched the video yesterday in night and today I applied those technique... I was able to swim. ❤
Great video sir thank you very much 👍😁😉
I'm not a bad swimmer. But still like to watch these videos.
Glad you enjoy! Happy swimming :)
propulsion: what gym exercises are appropriate to build up the right muscle for kicking?
good explanation, thanks.
In doing with ease now ty❤
