@@stefanul That is one of the major mistakes made. Continuous breathing is essential. Practice rotary breathing standing in a pool until it becomes natural. This will improve your swimming by leaps and bounds: good luck!
I just tried your techniques at Lake Michigan. Wow one video and one mile swim and I’m now gliding. My Jadd use to enter water too soon. It was like hitting the brakes every stroke. Best swim video!
Kicking is more of a stabilizing move for me being a long distance swimmer. Notice the reach extendinding and not swimming flat. That will hinder efficiency. Beautiful stroke.
if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough !:D thanks for your simple explain !i am not a native english speaker but i understad your video :) thanks again
Ife S. you should be at the surface or the water. While you are raising your arm or when you need to breathe turn your head to your right or left to breathe don’t stop
Don't do that yet first practice the stroke and swimming straight with it until you can't breath then come out. Do this till you get it and then start doing the one side Turn only with your head to breath Inhale outside thru your mouth then exhale inside thru Ur nose calmly and stick To doing it one side till you get it then do other side and then do both after you get use to it..don't stick your head out of the water it'll slow you down or stop you. Just turn your head to the side till your mouth and nose are out..
there seems to be different catch movements taught nowadays. This one moves in an S shape, but a lot of coaches online and out there now teaches pulling directly back straight. What is the main advantages of each? Someone please explain
It depends on the purpose of your swimming as to whether the S-pull or the straight pull are the right approach for you. The catch remains the same, but how you move your arm after this will vary. Typically, the straight pull is used when your focus is on delivering more speed and power for the stroke - it will make your stroke faster and is generally more aerobic. The S-pull is a slower pull due to your hand travelling further and therefore is typically better suited to a more relaxed swim, or longer distances. It’s also very much down to personal preference, why not give both a go and see which you prefer?
This isn't a true S shape. In a true S shape on entry the hand would be moved out to the side to a greater extent prior to pulling it inwards. This is more of half an S shape, there isn't the movement out to the side on entry.
Hi, this is Ed Accura , co-founder of the Black Swimming Association and producer of the film documentary A Film Called Blacks Can’t Swim. I personally believe that Black Youth Culture could be what breaks the cycle of the generation-long issue with a disproportionate amount of black people NOT swimming I would like to hear your views and comments on the 2 info videos I WON’T SWIM and THINK ABOUT IT. Let's change the narrative. I appreciate your support.
You can try pushing your chest into the water. Also, if your legs are relaxed, as long as you're moving forward they should rise up in line with your body.
Don't try to keep your head up..your legs will start sinking. keep it in line with water looking to the bottom of the pool. Your legs will also rise.. and you won't get that sinking feeling
When I turn my head to breathe, I've noticed that my front arm starts sinking quicker, well before my recovery arm enters the water for the next stroke. My legs might be sinking too; I'm not sure. Any idea why this happens? Maybe I'm lifting my head rather than just rotating it like in the video?
Your hips and head are probably turning too much. Try and keep your hips a bit more level and turn your head to breathe rather than pulling your head out of the water
@@yhhdiana thanks, I'll keep an eye on my hips next time. I did talk to a swim coach a while ago and she suggested delaying my breathing just a tiny bit -- that maybe I was starting to turn my head and body too soon. She was right -- I tried delaying until my hand passes my hip, and it made a massive improvement immediately. Didn't even realise how early I was starting to rotate until she suggested it.
Looks like swimming a catch up drill rather than normal freestyle, arm left at the front for an exaggerated period of time compared with a normal stroke.
Greetings from ireland i got some great tips from this video .. im only practicing doing the width of the pool but i find it better to not breath at all doing this is this a bad thing to keep doing ?
You will inevitably want to up your game at some point, every swimmer breathes at different intervals. The most common to my knowledge is a quick steady breather from the same side (thus every 2 strokes), but if you want to do longer distances you'll have to turn both left and right, so alternating for a total of 3 strokes. Otherwise your neck hurts. When you perfect this you start to "cheat", thus instead of breathing every two strokes you up your game to every four. That's intended mostly for short sprints. At least that's my personal experience. I hope it helps! :-)
We’d definitely advise you to work on your breathing technique so that as you get stronger you can focus on swimming longer distances, which is very difficult to do if you are holding your breath! Take a look at our freestyle breathing video for some tips, and if you need to break the stroke down so that you can just focus on the breathing, grab a kickboard and pull buoy and just practice getting used to the feeling of rolling your body allow your head to easily turn to take a breath and the timing of when to turn to breathe.
Think about flashing your armpit to the audience. You may also work on shoulder flexibility. Many yoga poses can help you open your chest, strengthen upper back, and unlock your upper arm/shoulder joint.
After inhaling turn the face on the water before your hand pass your face as the voice on the video says (remember not to wait for you to see your hand passing your eyes), but not in the way shown by the swimmer on the video: he is often a bit late with that, I wonder because he has to exaggerate the movement for the footage.
Front crawl is one of those strokes that you’d need a PHD in to completely master. I see so much contradictory advice. For example, when your hand enters the water does it enter in a straight line from your shoulder or do you move in more into a centre position in front of your head? In theory the latter position would make you more streamlined through the water but a lot of people say to enter straight in front of your shoulder? Which is it?
have you checked out our freestyle breathing video for some tips? If you need to break the stroke down so that you can just focus on the breathing, why not grab a kickboard and pull buoy and just practice getting used to the feeling of rolling your body allow your head to easily turn to take a breath and the timing of when to turn to breathe.
The technique is not correct. The arms on the stroke are too close and sometimes even cross the body centerline. This can cause shoulder issue. Hands should be away more from the face.
One of the hardest things I find about this stroke is the breathing, you completely glossed over it, without a single mention of breathing out
We have a separate video all on breathing on our channel - check it out and happy swimming :)
I just stop swimming, pull my head out of the water and get back to swimming

Really thanks so much this is an excellent video
I needed this
we all here bcs our PE teacher asked us to watch this video before practice swimming.
Yes, and now it will ruin my recommendation page 😔🤚
No... I searched this because im a swimmer and i need to learn how to swim better ☹
Im here because im gonna have to do the cooper swimming test soon
yep.. ☹️
😆
Agree with you ! If you have a good technique using the right muscles and swim with your entire body you burn so many calories !!!!
Very smooth
seeing freestyle swimming likes very easy, but i myself swim in the swimming pool really hard

thats it?

Turn your body.
Kicking is a task for me...

How does one bring out their head out of the water to breathe and continue? Whenever I try to breathe I stop swimming completely
Ife S. you should be at the surface or the water. While you are raising your arm or when you need to breathe turn your head to your right or left to breathe don’t stop

“Keep your body as flat in the water as possible” - how do I actually control that please, what can I do to achieve this?
You can try pushing your chest into the water. Also, if your legs are relaxed, as long as you're moving forward they should rise up in line with your body.
@@TheNeilsolaris Many thanks.
It is all about engaging your core muscles, and practice, happy swimming!
Don't try to keep your head up..your legs will start sinking. keep it in line with water looking to the bottom of the pool. Your legs will also rise.. and you won't get that sinking feeling
For me right now the hardest thing is to keep the resting hand straight while the other one is returning from the stroke.
Practice with paddles. They slow your movement down so that you have time to extend your lats all the way to finger tips.
Excellent
THank you

Kick
Not above water
Rotates
Crawl
Catch
Bend the arm under the body
Elbow above water
do you breath on one side only? or is it done in left and right? or you always face on one side only and always down on other side?

How many kicks per arm stroke ideally?
When I turn to breathe, my body sinks as I dip my head back to the water. I would then struggle to get to the surface 😒😔
@The Zewp 22 Thanks.I'll try it again.
Why my elbow isn’t high when it’s out of water . I’m fed up with low elbow 😭

Kicked my thumb didn't you.
how do i do this without inhaling 500 liters of water in my nose :(
Give a nose clip a try :)

Flipping the head is quite a difficult task.. How to breathe without flipping the head.
Cool tx!

No fail
I notice that I very often tend to have my legs deeper in the water, so they drag me down. Any tips on how I can fix this?
swim with buoy it helps to accurate your technique
Try to keep your body straight, initially it happens but once you use to it then everything will be fine
👌🏻👌🏻
easy to follow
My problem is breathing when i raise my head
abbeslife fit Ideally the rolling motion from alternating hand catch phases should help you get some clearance to breathe to the side.
have you checked out our freestyle breathing video for some tips? If you need to break the stroke down so that you can just focus on the breathing, why not grab a kickboard and pull buoy and just practice getting used to the feeling of rolling your body allow your head to easily turn to take a breath and the timing of when to turn to breathe.
good
i tried this, swallowed 1 liter water was superslow
It’s not correct to say that you ‘push’ the water back in the propulsive phase. ‘Pressing’
Still takes me 20 seconds to swim 25m. Might as well be dead.
I'm annoyed because I took "swimming lessons" when I was younger and yet I'm a terrible and inefficient swimmer.
Experience = the best teacher
oh yeah
I have to watch this for school hahahah tf is that
kinda makes sense, do you want an olympic swimmer to give you 1 on 1 lessons.... kids are loco
0:50
Keep your body as flat as possible….meanwhile the swimmer in the video rotates about 45degrees if not more. As he he should of course.
💗👍
👍🏄
Kick is not whole leg!!!!-+!!!!!! Only hips!!
Online learning anybody?
He's doing it wrong on the stroke you go straight through.
The technique is not correct. The arms on the stroke are too close and sometimes even cross the body centerline. This can cause shoulder issue. Hands should be away more from the face.
What is the correct way n better way? Tks
