Tried to learn the Eggbeater while in the pool a few times but I would just not understand how you did the actual motion. Like my brain could not make my legs move the way it was supposed to look like. That jump exercise finally made me understand, and it feels so natural now.
You made my night, thanks for the feedback. You never know what drill will click with the student and that’s why we do so many different one’s, so I’m glad this one clicked for you. All the best and thanks for taking the time to tell us.
@@Aritul yep. I'm now 36 and swimming in Clovelly beach in Sydney even during winter. I can stay in water for 20 minutes, float easily and tread it comfortably.
Omg coach David I miss you so much had a great varisty starting year as a freshmen thanks to you scored a lot and had amazing defense thanks to both you and coach Brittany and coach Sarah miss you guys
Does it matter if the right leg goes counterclockwise or clockwise as long as the two legs moves in opposite directions? I have mostly only seen the right leg move counterclockwise. Thanks
I don't like to focus on clockwise or counterclockwise because it ignores the up and down piston-like action of the kick that generates all of the power. Circling your feet doesn't generate power and can cause knee issues. If you go back to our first Eggbeater Video (part one) we talk about the Breastroke kick and how the eggbeater is an alternating breastroke kick. If you work on your breastroke, then one leg at a time breastroke, your leg will be on the right path.
4 years in the swim team and 10 more swimming and the eggbeater never made sense, until I read " alternating breastroke kick" in your post. Why did none of my coaches or teammates tell me this and they just go like "oh spin your calves like so and it'll work!" I've been living in a lie for a decade and a half lol
For curiosity, how much does breath control come into it for treading and water polo? Do people try to keep their lungs half full so they don't have to spend as much energy treading or does the exertion force people into breathing harder anyway?
It's very similar to any physical activity like running or playing basketball, the harder you do it the more your heart rate will go up and the faster you will breathe. I never kept my lungs half full. Hope that helps, thanks or watching!
This video tutorial is so well-executed. I turned into a mermaid! 🧜♀️. Thank you so much. I am now mingling with fish. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!

You gave a very clear and detailed explanation of how to do it. I definitely will practice with this tips once I return to the pool. Thanks so much 🌺
You're welcome, thanks for the kind words and let me know how it goes!
Note to self:
0:28 Chair exercise
1:16 Pool noodle
1:57 Jump exercise
Thanks!
Terrific！👍👍
Great video! Straight to the point ❤️ I can tread water now thanks
Awesome, I love to hear that!
Could you guys make a video about developing a stronger eggbeater to be able to elevate higher? I miss you guys!
Yes, that’s a great idea Chelsea. I’m going to put that on our list. Miss you too!

Kaylee Rojas I’m so glad Kay, you put in the work, you deserve it! Thank you.
Hey thanks, needed this for school
Really good
Thank you!
He makes it look easy when its a nightmare 😢
Thank you
You’re very welcome!
Hey coach, does this normally tire out hips even in water or no?
My hips get more tired when I'm demonstrating on land than when I'm in the water. So I would say it doesn't tire the hips out in the water.

If you already know how to do eggbeater kick, it will be easy if you practice treading in water?
I think it's very beneficial for beginners to work on their treading outside of the water in addition to working on it in the water.
i already practicing it, i hope it makes easier when i will do it in water thanks.
