I teach learn to swim. I have been teaching learn to swim for over 30 years. This video from narration to on land drills and to water drills is WONDERFUL. The style and pace of his voice really shows his ability to get info across in a simple, calming and direct way. His examples of the steps required to get the feel for the water are spot on. I have a new perspective on teaching swimming to beginners. Thank you!
Followed the step by step instructions on this video and am able to swim quite well & get praised for my good strokes. Thank you, Mr Shaw for the wonderful method of teaching.

This is one of the most useful tutorials I´ve ever watched.
I just followed the instructions and tried it for 2days... now I can swim from one end to other...I myself amazed with such a quick progress...still I need to practice breathing technique ... I hope I can learn this to with the help of this video... thanku so much 😊
I've been teaching in a way many techinique parts of this video but a much faster pace. This video is much better than mine in terms of not getting the student to use bad form in my faster pace from the beginning. I'm definitely adopting some of his technique here, even if I have to slow my pace of teaching down. By far the best I've seen so far... Follow this video if you have time, and master each step before going to the next even if it takes you more time..
I haven't been practicing front crawl in 14 years, so I completely lost my breathing techniques and was out of breath after 20m crawling. This video helped me a lot!! Thanks so much.
I've been taking swim adult swim lessons for 3 months. This video really made it all come together for me. I feel more confident and improved immediately after watching. Thanks for making it. Well done
Thank you for sharing this video. This is indeed the very basic fundamentals of crawl swimming for beginners and I mean totally don't know swimming at all, watch and learn and drill all the steps and you will be flying on the water. For those who complain about what break water or submerge or what ever, those 'tricks' will come when the beginner has finally know how to swim and trying to improve timing, perfecting styles etc etc... As the title of this video implies "A very instructional video to master..."!!
Best teacher and best method ever. The Alexander technique in swimming changes the relationship with the water and I learnt more in a few hours with him, than in 6 months with the 'classical' method. The video out of the context does not do him any justice. It is hepful if you are learning with the brilliant Shaw method.😀
I have started swimming at 60 yrs age but have really gained from this marvelous video - I watch it after every lesson repeatedly - it teaches us step by step crawling technique - I could not believe that such a good video was available - Full marks to the trainer
I have checked so many swimming videos on TH-cam and this is the BEST. Very simple, yet very detailed, very well explained and very well illustrated. I learned more from this than from the actual swimming lesson that I took. I am 61 and just now started to swim for a good full body workout THANK YOU so much for creating this video! If you can, please create more for the other swimming styles and also one for treading. thanks again :).
This is a great video. It presents a method of swimming which is comfortable in the water, aimed at maintaining relaxation. This method is very different from most of the videos I've seen on TH-cam, and the method in my opinion is one which most people would find better for swimming for enjoyment. The Shaw approach is familiar to my own technique that I've developed independently, because I'm 67, and doing competitive strokes is not for me - but I enjoy swimming laps. I try to get in at least 2000 meters per session, 3 to 5 times a week. A stroke which goes for speed rather than endurance is counter to my goals. Having brief moments every stroke where I can completely relax (except for the kick) very much improves endurance.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. This is by far the BEST learning Freestyle on the net. Great teacher.. that is how you teach relaxed and to the point and make the subject matter look so easy and relaxing.. . I am looking forward to apply these techniques. Best learning Freestyle Video on the net. As a matter of fact it is soothing and relaxing watching and imagining that you are the one swimming. I hope that I can swim and relax as such, instead of running out of breath after 20ft. Once again thank you..
11:30 is genius...... made the motion make sense when I saw it out of water. This video makes it look so simply..... really breaks things down step by step
Love Steven's videos. Some of the most relaxing swim lesson videos. Making it smooth, like a kung fu master. Thank you for work Steven, to be shaw. Thanks for posting.
الحق يقال شكرا لك مدرب وبرفسور ستيفن تبتعليم السباحة ،ومن خلال متابعة فيديوهاتك بفضل الله ثم فضلك تعلمت اناواولادي السباحة بشكل جيد.شكرا لك ولعائلتك الكريمة.
It was such a calm video beautiful...but im really scared of drowning as i always fail to pull my legs back on ground but now i have got it.. thank u so much u r a excellent teacher
Thanks for sharing. This tutorial video is great. It is similar like total immersion. It help me a lot on catch and breathe part, will try it this evening. Thanks again. :)
gosh I wish they had TH-cam 25 years ago! hell I improved my swimming like 100 percent since my Marine corps days when I fought the water. maybe not for racing guys but this is a major win. TI good too. can't lose either way. Corvette or Porshe? all the same.
Guy, be patinet, he is good and step by step, i have improved a lot by folllowing his steps.off coures, i have watched it so many times to make sure everything i got. swimming cannot improve overnight. work hard my friend. heavenly one from HK
Thank you so very, very much for sharing it with all of us your video with the Master Instructor. This is video is an excellent video for everyone who is passion it to learn to swim well.
Very good video, methodical, giving the important drills for correct side gliding, transitions, and head positions for in water and for breathing, high elbow recovery, and front quadrant arms. I'd perhaps mention the use of the kick to initiate the side to side roll from the hip.
the dry land exercises are very good and a great way to develop the mechaincs of crawl . this is difficult to do in the water and especially hard for beginners.
I have been wasting time not looking at this video - this is hands down best video to learn freestyle
Couldn't agree more.
Is this partially total immersion technique?!
Day 1: 0:00 - 2:05 BALANCE in the water
Day 2: 2:05 - 4:08 KICKING
Day 3: 4:08 - 6:23 side step
Day 4: 6:23 - 7:45 center to side
Day 5: 7:45 - 9:20 side - center
Day 6: 9:20 - 11:25 side - center - side
Day 7: 11:25 - 14:21 ARM ACTION
Day 8: 14:21 - 18:15 both arms full action
Day 9: 18:15 - 23:02 BREATHING
Day 10: 23:02 - THE END. FULL STROKE
Excellent. Thanks
By far the best. Even if you know swimming this video will help improve your stroke. My compliments to Karim for putting this out there.

Nice instructions tnx

great job nice video
Thank you very much
extraordinarily told hats up
Many swimmers feel it's more efficient not to break water with the kick, allowing the feet to stay submerged..I prefer this also.
