Freestyle - Reach Full Extension

- Learning to reach your goals, starts with learning to reach in the pool.
Why do it:
Reaching full extension in freestyle is a necessary foundation for swimmers at every level. Learning to create a slippery line to glide through the water, which requires balance, and a sense of flying, will allow you the ability to make decisions later on efficiency or speed.
How to do it:
1 - Swim slow, smooth freestyle, focusing the attention on extending the fingers as far out front as possible.
2 - Focus ONLY on extending the hand as far forward as possible, and not on the pull, finish, or recovery of the stroke.
3 - Feel what part of the hand has the most pressure on it. It should be the relaxed fingers out front, not the palm.
How to do it really well (the fine points):
If you're true to the goal of extension, other parts of your stroke will fall into line. By trying to push the hand forward with a bit of intensity, you'll create a better, more direct pull. Focusing on the pull can lead you to shorten the extension, and start you down a path of instinctual reaction to moving through the water.
When the focus is only on extension, there are other aspects of the stroke that start to come together. Better balance will help you drive the hand forward in a more direct line. You'll also connect the arm to the body rotation, which will ultimately give you a more powerful pull.
Youthful exuberance leads swimmers to focus on fast turnover and the pull. Age and wisdom know that it's better to start with the understanding of a full stroke as early in the learning process as possible, then make adjustments as the swimmer grows older.
This is very effective. I tried it. I don't have to think of so many things. Thank you very much.
totally agree with what you say in here!!! To me focus in reaching full extensión is what mades me to do a good body rotation, to maintain my body in good position, and to do a full movement of the hand inside the wáter... also the high elbow comes by itself. If I focus on another kind of thing, that doesn´t happen :)
Genuine wisdom shared by a very generous person. Reveals the firehose of flaws in the other "swimming" videos.
I just figured this out today, then later searched this topic out. I was working hard on my 100 meter intervals and just paddling faster wasn't increasing my time, just tiring me out by the end. I realized that if i could move more water with each pull i can cover more yardage with each stroke, tried reaching further and found much more pull there! really worked my muscles but kept my pace pretty efficient all the way through and i wasn't crashing the water trying to go faster, met my current best lap time and wasn't killing myself. This is going to be awesome as I explore this and develop it. Much more efficient and a much stronger stroke.
That's a neat video. Especially the narration is as smooth as a seasoned swimmers breathing.
great video to know the important of full extension reach
I am watching many swimming tutorials,videos of various ways and advices,but this is one of the best here on youtube (along with good explanation below video,also). Very accurate,easy to understand. To start with a proper techique,and later to make adjustments,sense of "flying" in the water,to be conscious about what you doing,reaching full extension... Just that little suggestion about flying made me "force" myself to think (and ,I hope,act) in that manner,therefore to be more confident in the water.
Its not like in the gym,although it can be similar - there could be "distraction" from others,from possibly present girls around the pool,maybe you want to "show" yourself and be good swimmer just like that or whatever,but this stuff grounds you in a good way,make you more self-conscious,persistent,more confident in yourself,regardless of other (maybe good or better) swimmers around.
I will continue to watch and learn from your videos,they are among my favorites...:)
+1 Free Star 1 FInd the feeling of yoga?
+1 Free Star 1 can not agree more
1 Free Star 1 i have tried many yotube crawl styles either, and i agree, this is the less energy demanding and the most hydrodynamic.

Just love the guys presentation. Great voice for the task!
Excellent analysis
This is very very important swimming skills. Very very important.
ok
Skills
I und tecnique but not simple to do... leg and hand don t go in the same time.... now only 1.40 min 100m 😆
I absolutely love the last punch line!
Based on the principles of Total Immersion Swimming, Founder Terry Laughlin taught and coached this swim coach the TI technique in 1998.
Very nice! I do try to do this because a full extension of the body is so elegant! I will try even harder now. 😊😊
شكرا. merci beaucoup. 👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💝
Excellent video.
Will do extend and pull !
Very informative, nice video!!
I love the slow motion starting from 0.57 (put it slower at 0.5). It allows me to analyze this excellent swimmer strokes. Aside from feeling of flying (balance) I found this swim thought working for me. (I play golf and they always talk about swing thoughts so I try also to figure out what swim thoughts will work for me.) As I kick, I imagine it powering the full extension of the opposite fingers as the trunk rotates 45 degrees. There is an extra flutter kick to take advantage of the streamline of the glide, before the flutter kick to power the reaching of the opposite fingers. As I reach/extend the fingers, with the opposite hand, I imagine crawling on the mud under barb wires, to facilitate the EVF. I tried different swim thoughts to facilitate the EVF but this "crawling" thought works for me. I can now cover 25 yards with 8 strokes, occasionally just with gliding I covered it with 7 strokes. I focus more on slow efficiency than speed.
reach, reach, reach..i love it..how my stoke came together
Funny I just had this talk with a coach, he's told me my turn over needed to be quicker and I found out my slow turn over was due to the full extension for a fuller catch and was taught from the beginning "learn to be smooth - smooth is fast". Upon telling him this he said in a sprinting situation you'd rather enter and pull right away, this is more appropriate for distance swimming.

Alice Hi, u speak as if you are improving your 100m from 1'20" to within 1' :-)
Yes, that is why parents should focus on teaching their toddlers to use racing blocks to start the transition from crawl to walk.

شكرا على الترجمة
Exactly
Been stagnant on developing speed for a number of months, new to freestyle old to a very efficient breaststroke. Watching this and experimenting with it has taken over 30secs of a 250meter set in a single session and dropped my strokes per length by two to three average. Looking forward to the morning to experiment with it a bit more. Really helpful video and narration. Gary 52 years
hi i just have a question i can't keep my breath longer that i can swim good ..so what you suggest
mm nn it might sound silly, but streamlining under the water everyday for a couple of laps will build your Lung Capacity, try that
hi i just have a question i can't keep my breath longer that i can swim good ..so what you suggest
Yes
He is not exhaling under water ?
Good catch! I notice he is not breathing every three. I suspect he was holding his breath for this video so it could focus on the pull without him rotating away to breathe. Just a guess.
thanks
"As far as possible" leads to overextension, over rotation, and likely shoulder issues.
I was always taught to keep my fingers together
U were taught wrong
my technique is be better by your videos .. thank so mutch ❤
Which swim googles he is using in the video?
Smooth as silk.
فيديو جد مفيد ، يؤكد على الأمر المهم في السباحة الحرة.
Well explained, thank you 👍
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله اني عندي مشكله وهي انه انسى رجلية عند السباحة وابقى اعتمد ع يداي ف اتعب تعب شديد
앞쪽의 손을 쭉 뻗는데 집중하면 스트로크도 좋아진다
I swim freestyle and this true! You have to reach and have a long stroke!
thanks it is very useful pleas provide more how to get fast free style techniques
Great - thanks! I did some coaching and competitive swimming in my twenties but still found this video useful, especially learning your point about the extended fingers of the hand (not the palm) taking some or most of the force. Thanks for sharing this. :-)

احسن تحليل للسباحة الحرة 👍
This is so different with freestyle method. I am confused.
TI I meant
Good
الشكروالتقدير على جهودكم وشكرا على الترجمة
الحمد لله تباعت فديو والان تعلمت
Thanks but I am completely agree with organicsuperman
The finger issue is a fact of physics and chemistry. Fingers slightly apart catches more water...counter intuitive but true. All high level swimmers have the same finger gap.
Beautiful
he is bending his knees, wrong!
Awesome vid.
Great one, will apply asap.
Very helpful tip. Thank you.
Best advice on free style!
Thanks for your help
Very concise.

this is all plain wrong- you will become an overglider, plus the guy does not exhale
