    Yoho Yoho, no more sinky legs for me.
    Since I started watching your videos I've really started to enjoy swimming instead of just struggling through it. Breath less..., for example, so counter intuitive but made such a yuge difference.

    I've definitely got sinky legs!! This off-season here in Australia I'll be working strongly on building my swim to be better. Looking forward to get into the protriathlon swim training program - and putting the exercises from this video in there too!

    Taren as a newbie I struggle with this loads. Have you got a fix for robot shoulders?? My swim buddy says I'm not rotating enough and that my shoulders are out of the water which affects my stretch. X

    I start out ok on the swim...but as i lose my stamina throughout the swim, i start to fold up like a taco. I know more pool time will help, but it isn't always possible to find 3-4+ hours per week to get to the pool. As such, i would love to see some dry work on exercises to build stamina to hold my form during the swim. Thanks!

    I wish this could work for me. I not only have sinky legs, I sink like a rock too. Also, incredibly stiff ankles. One of my swim coaches was amazed that my legs still sunk even with a pull buoy.

    How about a video on your process for making a video (start to finish). I don’t know how you keep cranking out new content day after day!

    I have sinking legs big time. (I grew up riding dirt bikes, might have something to do with that 🤔)
    Unfortunately this, just like so many other advise that I've gotten, don't help much. They somehow al seem to avoid adressing the real issue.
    -That (for me) is that the HEAD sink when I lift my arm above the water. Making impossible to breathe. So it becomes a balancing act, allowing my hips to sink makes it possible get my lips above the surface. But cause a shit load of drag.
    It is, almost, possible, to swim with my hips and feat at the surface, if I swim with a snorkel and the head is comfortably submerged al the time. 😢

    • @johndignam7888

      Yes certainly use a snorkel, a snorkel may also be helpful regulating your breathing, I recently started using a snorkel after years of swimming. Good Luck 👍

    I can't swim. Cause i can't breathe under water and i got sinky legs from working out on treadmills and stairmasters for way too long. But lately they're not that muscular since i haven't worked out in a long time.

    • @ArthurReniro

      Did the fact that you start to have less muscles helped you in swimming?

    i bet the most common reason for sinking legs for beginners is that they forget to kick!

      No, Its body position, kicking is just a small part of forward propulsion.
