This is one of the best training video's I've seen to date, very helpful. Thanks!
So happy I found your video. No one has ever taught this to me. It sure does make a difference in my form. Thank you!
i couldn't agree more. After hundreds of underwater videos this finally and clearly shows what I've been looking for. thank you.
This was the first video I watched, when I started learning to swim last year in June. Forgot all about it as I have watched so many especially TI videos. But lately started looking into something call EVF, to possibly lower my SPL. And now I find myself back here after doing a search. When I first watched it, the concept was foreign and too much to grasp. Now I get it. She really knows her stuff! Thanks!
Been swimming for 20 years and I think you have explained it very clearly, great job. Thanks for your video!!!
out of all the swimming videos Ive watched on TH-cam Ive learned the most from this one. well done.
Calaca me too but sh talks to fast
Calaca thanks for saying that almost taped a different episode.
fully agree
same here
Calaca so true!
I love teaching what is essentially your techniques in the pool. Wish I had seen or had access to this type of detailed information when i was struggling 5-6 years ago. It's a never ending wonder to me that more swim coaches don't teach specific hand/arm placement technique.
However, I suspect, they are unable to do so as they often only know how to make people race up and down the pool doing 60 laps or more. This appears to be more than 90% of most swim coaches' repertoire.
Best explanation of this I have even seen or heard!
This video might just changed my life now thank you @vasa trainer
Terrific! Keep us posted on your progress.
Absolutely loved this series of videos. Was easily described and I felt confident trying to change my technique in the pool this morning. And wow yeah I feel the difference in muscle groups worked. Thank you for putting this out there!
❤❤❤
Thanks to your tips on the hand movements, I could swim. I was struggling with the technique for the past 20 days anf suddenly when I angled my hands as per your guidance, I could swim. Thank you!
Karlyn, Absolute clarity...at last.
I now know what I'm not quite getting right so
right now, I'm off to the pool ..!!
Thank you.
BEST videos about freestyle technique!!!
three years of not being able to swim, and today i used your step by step hand moves........walaa! I was swimming and was able to get my head out of the water! Thank you so much. I have not even watched the rest of this series yet. Cant wait to improve overall.
What a great video! Finally something I can follow and essential to becoming a better swimmer. Thanks!
Holy shit, the quality and clarity of this presentation is BY FAR the best I've come across. Superb. Karlyn, I didn't know anything about you until just now (plus the inevitable rabbit hole), but I am blown away by your knowledge and skill. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
Gilbert, yes she is great. Did you know about the free Faster freestyle course? vasatrainer.lpages.co/email-course-faster-freestyle-reg/?
That was a splendid demonstration (The box)...makes it easier to understand where your hands go during the catch phase. Thanks.
wow. Incredible. After hours of watching different videos, his helped by far the most.
I swim to keep fit but noticed today that I took 10 seconds off my 100m intervals! I could picture this video in my mind as I swam today and totally understand how a dropped elbow gives less water resistance which in turn is less stroke power.
Fantastic and congratulations! There is a 5-part series with these videos and explanations that is really useful here: vasatrainer.com/blog/faster-freestyle-swimming-part-1/
The box analogy is the best way I have seen this explained as a new swimmer.
A very good series of videos which reduce my overall swimming time significantly. The small bit shown at 1:50 help a lot to improve my breaststroke. Oddly enough I never so this so clearly explained in other training videos.
Thank for this information. I am trying to learn swimming well by myself and watching a lot of videos I hadn´t have seen this way of explaining it.
I am so thankful to have found this video. You made this so easy to understand and implement. Thank you!

Yes, this was magic
Thank you so much, your advice was absolutely amazing
Phenomenal. Simple and clear. Thank you!
This was very helpful. The best demonstration and explanation I've seen yet. Thanks from Israel !
Great video. Super simple and not overwhelming. Thanks!
Wow. this is the best channel for swimming techniques. this video explains a lot about the stroke. thank you so much.
thanks! I'm going to try that vertical pull tomorrow when I swim.
One of the best videos I've seen thus far. Like it very much.
I learnt to swim freestyle only using ur videos.amazing work...please make a video about how to breathe also ..thanks a lot..
Perfect all around video for freestyle swimming.
When I look back on lessons, i didn't seem to fully get it. ---> now in 4 min, I finally Got it.
Thank you for your time & efforts in these Excellent illustrations & Compelling ... :)
May I suggest that you begin a progression by using a pull buoy between your legs and a front mount swimmers snorkel (if you can tolerate that) for simplifying breathing. That way, you could practice the technique points the coach makes in these videos and focus on the correct stroke path, high elbow catch, and pulling with the strong muscles in the back (lats) and arms. Also, this article will help you: vasatrainer.com/blog/overcoming-freestyle-monospeed-why-how-and-when-to-accelerate-hand-speed/
Seu vídeo foi excelente. Eu nunca havia percebido que essa era minha dificuldade a corrigir. Show seu vídeo. I'm from Brazil and I loved your video!
Thanks for the tip, I never learn this in my swim lesson .Thank you for your video l learn from this.
this has made me understand a high elbow position! Thanks a lot for sharing!
This is the only video I found that shows a flat side onland view of what the heck is going on. And multiple strokes instead of one or two fast ones before the scene is cut to a different view. Even with a few private swim sessions I didn’t understand the stroke. Thank you for making a clear and precise video

a great reference for pullups, super easy to understand, thank you.
Loved the way you simplified. Made it really easy to follow
All the parts of the vedio in this series are excellent, scientific, easy to understand and easy to put it in to practice. I find all the techniques very useful and it improved my free style a lot. I would like to thank the lady for the techniques and it's really great and nice of her. I also expect some more vedios on other style such as the breast stroke, butterfly etc., Thanks
finally i can find the video with the full process that is not filmed under the water.
I learnt swimming 10 years ago and now have forgotten almost the movements. Hope that I can gain them back!
Fantastic! Very well explained. You helped me sooooo much just now!
Thank u so much, I will try this technique on Monday God Willing. Your videos are great Thanks x
One of the few fitness videos i didn't watch at double time. Lots of good content highly compacted.
Thanks a lot. I never knew I could get as much information like this anywhere. Than you.
excelentes sugerencias y muy bien explicado!!! Thanks a lot
That is amazing.
Thank you. Our video makes so much sense. You are great.
Thank you very much for this very clear explanation about hand placement.
Merci. You have brought some change in my life.

Excellent; the best explanation, movement analysis and practical application I’ve found so far!

Thanks Korlyn ;-)
Best swimming video I've viewed. This is great!
I have been swimming in Ironman series for the last seven years and after watching this video 3 weeks ago, I had an ah ah moment. Just completed Ironman 70.3 Portugal having shaved 10 mins off my usual time. Best video on freestyle. Thanks coach Pipes,

Great podcast, thank you. What a big difference these small details make.. Keeping the elbow high doesnt seem natural at first but it
actually might keep me afloat and enjoy swimming more, for sure..
Superb. I like instructional videos that not only teach technique but also provide the "why" of the technique. The power meter data at the end was eye-opening.
Glad you liked the video and the information on using Power data in swimming.
This is awesome I'm so glad I found your videos, they are great!
I finally understood! Very well explained. Thank you coach! 😊

I am very excited for practising thar tip, i never noticed it before or read about it i will try it tomorrow on my swimming practise and see if i can make it faster!! thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for the videos. More power!
Wow you mentioned inefficient swimming and that's me! Can't wait to try this!
Incredibly helpful to me, as a beginner. Thank you very much.
the best instruction video ...makes a big difference in the water very scientific. awesome
Awesome video, thank you so much
I have seen a lot of swim videos and I really liked this one very much. I actually subscribed to your videos, I think the first time ever subscribed to any TH-cam videos. I really like the concept of using the palms of my hands during the catch. I tried it out today and I could really feel the difference using my palm and my full hand. I also like how you demonstrated the power of the catch in all three strokes, freestyle, breast , and butterfly. I would like to see a section on the recovery, hope you can either update this one or create one in the future.
Rick that's great this was useful to you. Did you know about the free Faster Freestyle Course? vasatrainer.lpages.co/email-course-faster-freestyle-reg/?
I am an amateurish swimmer and this morning I tried to follow your tip and... my 3km time went from 1h6 to 1h2! The best thing is that now I see a very good margin of improvement, because that's was my first, timid, try to pull up my elbows! Thank you very much!
