i have always loved swimming, but as a saudi arabian woman it was just a dream, couldnt swim in the beach or the pool because there are no gyms for women, i was jealous of men .. or even other women around the world, i love swimming so much. even tho i dont even know how to float, BUT i finally found a place with a pool. and a great person willing to teach me i will start next month! so excited to achieve one of my dreams 😊
That’s exactly how I feel when I run. Mostly everybody says”Oh I hate running, running sucks it’s just so tiring and bla bla bla,” but when I run, I feel exactly what you feel when you swim, except no water 😂, but air instead. I feel peace, and everything, I just forget all drama rounding my life, and run. This vid inspired me.
@@dillonbritt4767 slow down when it gets really hot and then you can still enjoy running. However, if you do put in the work when it's hot then you'll be that much better when we get to the colder season.
I am in the swim team and this moved me so much it made me say to myself that “it’s not beating your mates its about how well you do and you beat your self “ this has moved me so much
When she said she didn't choose swim, swim chose her, that really hit me. I do swim, and I'm extremely good at it. But I hate it so much. It's just not enjoyable for me anymore. Practice is a drag, meets are a drag, everything's just a drag. I would definitely quit if I was a little worse, but I feel like I'd be letting so many people down if I do.
Definitely one of the greatest swimmers of our time. She is so dolphin like under water as she kicks of the wall....just beautiful!! Her amazing body was made for swimming.
I agree, I would slam my shins against the edge of the wall I bet. I banged my knee so hard against the wall when climbing up the ladder! Because you know how you have to use more strength in the water? I didn't realise I was on my last step on the ladder so my knee went straight out of the water into the edge of the wall!
Being olympain? what for? being best in one thing this is wasting of time and very boring. There is so many things to do, you can be swimmer, singer and doctor all at once .
Greetings from Korea! Totally agree that under water there is no music, only one's thoughts, nobody talking to you... I really like being under water and love swimming as well!
i will always be a hockey player first, it’s what I’m best at and it has gotten me to where i am today, but swimming is my other passion. i compete as much as I can in between hockey and i love it. i agree with everything she said, the feeling of being in the water and pushing your physical and mental abilities to their limits is such a rush, i absolutely love it
Omg Natalie, I hear u girl. I just have to say I tried to stop swimming this year but all my mind was saying was I can't wait till swim starts up again. When I am in the water I feel no one else around me, nothing else matters but my thoughts. I can't give up swimming. It has been a part of me since I was born, I just discovered it 5 years ago. When I am in the water I feel one with it. my mind flows within it. You probably aren't going to see this comment but, Natalie, you are my hero. You inspire me to be a better person and a better swimmer. If I ever meet you in real life, teach me how to master my flip turns please as a mentor. I can't wait 'til the pool opens today and I can get my legs kicking again. I will never give up on what I can believe in. Never become a land breather
Same! but the thing is, in most pools you have to cover all of your hair because otherwise it might fall out and it would just be disgusting to see hair floating around. Especially in a public pool :))
That was way cool! More amazing actually than seeing you perform in the Olympics because you can actually see you swim under water. It is amazing to see what you are doing underwater and how efficient and fluid it is. Thanks for posting.
This is my favourite video of all ...I had competitions and video help me about i can focus in competition ....i know ...all swimmers want olympic swimmer ....i am crying because if you have people who are there you can go ....i am 12y/o and i started 10y/o...I believe i have a very good course ...I am from Greece (2019+)
I am a swimmer and I am the only person who after practice wants to go again or swim on the weekend, there is something so great about being able to compete and have a place where you can be competitive
At the beginning of swim season, I hate it and just want to die. But by the end I absolutely love it and the people I swim with. It becomes a part of you and I become one with the water in a way. I’ve felt what she has and it’s truly amazing
Right can I just say something, the start when she says that swimming chose her not she chose swimming I agree and relate with and I agree with the whole of the video because swimming is just so amazing...
I am a swimmer and this just makes me think of why I am trying to go to the Olympics and just remember I'm 10 I live for swimming somthing that brought me down was this year (oh I'm also in acrobatics and soccer) I bone brused my back doing a trick and it made me have to stop swiming for a week (ik not that bad) but when I got back in I could dive in properly or flip turn but I've been working hard for a few months u got my flip and almost my dive AND I WONT GIVE UP😁
I really wish I continued swimming when I was younger. I love the water now, but I missed an opportunity to continue a sport that I have loved for years.
I'm not sure if I like the (somewhat) melancholic quality of this video. Her hesitant narration, the music, the deserted pool, repeated shots of her underwater, etc. All these just days b4 the Omaha trials which as we know did not turn out the way she wanted it to be. Could this be a prelude to a farewell...
I enjoy swimming casually. The gruelling training for competition and the anxiety building up to the race was no fun at all. Eight years of agony, done with it.
I am a 15 year old girl who used to be a swimmer when I was 7 years old in didn't enjoy swimming that much but now it is my dream to go back now and swim in miss swimming and competing with other children
I’m a swimmer too but there’s something about it ...... when your at swim practice you wish you were at home but when your at home you wish you were at practice 🌊

So sad to hear that :(
I hope you're at least enjoying swimming now!
That backstroke start tho!!!😍
Livia Laue IKR She has such quick feet.
It's so perfect

I'm exactly the same. Except when it's super hot like it has been here lately. Hard to enjoy it as much.

Trail running and swimming are the two most beautiful forms of training alone
I am in the swim team and this moved me so much it made me say to myself that “it’s not beating your mates its about how well you do and you beat your self “ this has moved me so much
Where's the routine?

Did you hear her she didint chose swimming it chose her.. she wasn’t made for her it’s her choice
1:59 that's a lot harder than it looks. Powerful legs.
TheHybridlogic powerful arms
It is easy not that hard at all

Malena Jehova you cant do dat at the same time
Malena Jehova That is their life, they choose their way and their options as to say - no one is to meddle into their own lifestyle.
My dream 3, what’s your event
P.S good luck ☺️
Malena Jehova I don’t know why I swim , there is just something in me that tells me that I can’t live without it, and to just keep pushing.
I cannot say anything other than "May God Bless You Lady.” Stunning!
She has great skills. This is so relaxing and peaceful. Love it how she just cruises in the water!
The sound of water was cool
Greetings from Korea! Totally agree that under water there is no music, only one's thoughts, nobody talking to you... I really like being under water and love swimming as well!
Anything but her routine lol
this video literally has me in tears. swimming means everything to me.

That backstroke dive was beautiful ❤️
I love how swimming makes her feel. So peaceful.

.... I've been tying up my hair whenever I put a swimming cap on which always left me me with awful headaches. I didn't realize you don't have to 😂
Same! but the thing is, in most pools you have to cover all of your hair because otherwise it might fall out and it would just be disgusting to see hair floating around. Especially in a public pool :))
We could not be more proud of this driven, determined... and BEAUTIFUL!... lady.

I swim regularly too. Fabulously fast girl! Respect!
I started swimming, for a triathlon event, about 2 months ago. I have fallen in love with it and it has become my favorite part of my training.
So beautiful! thanks for sharing
i used to be so dedicated to swimming but i stopped and now im trying hard to get back, love this
I’ve been swimming for 9 years and it’s amazing!!! I’ve met 3 Olympic swimmers
Nailed the feeling of swimming. I love how quiet it is.
My name is also Natalie and I'm also a swimmer!! I'm so glad I cound this video
This made me keep trying and keep swimming and to never give I have been swimming and going to swim meets at 4 years old and I love swimming
Her flip turns are amazing
It doesn't look like swimming. This perfection is called art!!
Totally awesome. I'm sure it did'nt come easy, but you did it. You DID IT. Huge Kudos..👏👏👏👏
'It's you and your thoughts' I definately do everything but thinking when swimming, thats why its so good.
faberho I hear Hans zimmer’s music in my ears on each breath in and out and my mind feeling relaxed and swimming is my therapy
I swim in a team and this video inspires me. I want to go to the Olympics and this absolutely motivates me ❤
Same! It would be a dream!

I loved it Natalie Coughlin. Super fantastic video. Very great!!!
So beautiful. her form. her movement. amazing. the time she saves on the tumbles and just amazing.
This is really cool to watch because i've been to this pool for water polo games so many times lol
This is just how I feel I’m not an Olympian yet but I’ll get there someday and this is helping me get there
I am currently 25, ever since I turned 11 I have swam 4000m daily, never skipped a day.
At the beginning of swim season, I hate it and just want to die. But by the end I absolutely love it and the people I swim with. It becomes a part of you and I become one with the water in a way. I’ve felt what she has and it’s truly amazing
Wow! She moves like a dolphin 😍😘😍 that hop above the water at the end is so dope
She is great! Soo motivating!
Every successful athlete has the inner fire to be the best.
I am also a competitive swimmer and this is how I feel in the water. I hope to go to the Olympics also.
beautiful!! *o* my life is swimming ♥
She's an amazing swimmer , I'm still a huge fan of her.
Actually i was click to video for see her body, but now i really respect her. She really swims fast and cool
This video equally inspires me and demotivates me!!!!!!!!!!
so beautiful, and so calming and healing.
She was a machine... strong body, perfect skills.
