I saw this video some years ago and it is so clearly explained why these drills work, that it completely changed my perception and understanding of swimming technique. The images of this great swimmer made it instantly clear what he explains and what to aim for yourself when swimming. For me, it was the start of my own swimming becoming way better. So a big thanks!
me the same! I am a completelly different swimmers now after the first time I watched it a few years ago! It is the perfect explanation because the guy here is NOT for views but he works with athletes and he is professional and not just a random guy making a video for views. This is why this makes the video usefull and perfect!
my daughter, who's nearly nine and relatively petite in her squad, seems to be fighting her way in the water, so to correct it, we watch together some portions of this video every now and then, it summarises so well all the techniques that I struggle to teach her.😊
4:29 narrow stroke, swimming side to side, cutting the water; keep your back straight and your eyes down; use six-beat kick, moving side to side 6:00 overwater recovery sets up a high-elbow catch. Drills 7:20 establishing the core of stroke; light kick 8:00 rotation and posture; straight spine, drop jaw back, raise the head slightly, neutral position 9:24 twelve kicks or (six kicks) and transition; make the transition smooth and straight; could add a little bit swimming in between transition. 12:02 one-arm drills 13:46 three-quarters catch-up drill 16:38 drills with a snorkel 19:07 catch and throw drill
Best video on the TH-cam ! I have watched so many video to learn freestyle, still can’t get it. However, after watching this one, I can swim 6 freestyle strokes right away. Thanks for explaining the freestyle so clearly 👍👍👍
This is so brilliant and helpful and thanks a million Leslie. In one short tutorial you have solved all my problems with freestyle. It’s amazing your insights into the common problems faced with this technic. Your articulation makes it so easy for me to understand and follow and therein lies your genius.
Laurence Corray Leslie is the name of the account, not the narrator. 0:40 David Marsh and 1:36 Rada Owens are present tho. Did you not watch the video?
@@lzszl Is it not okay to thank the account????!!!!! My "you" refers to Leslie and the narrators. Is it necessary for you to be so petty!!!!! You must be having a troubled life to be so petty????!!!!!!!
Great video. Technique broken down really well. So much to work on for me and I love that I can keep coming back to this and get something from it each time.
Thank you so much... I have learned freestyle looking at people at diff pools and my freestyle is as bad as it gets . Your step by step tutorial is just excellent ... will start from today and I hope I get all the parts correctly !!!
I am 56 and a new swimmer....This is the best video tutorial I had seen....I am doing freestyle with Flat body position and bcos of this style I am getting tired very soon...Now, after seeing this video telling to swing around side to side kicking and reducing water resistance really helps ....Will practice your techniques in the pool....Awesome tutorial....Thank You So Much...🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this fantastic detail analysis and great underwater examples. The best I’ve seen over many months of videos, and struggle. M. Scottish Highlands.
This is the best video for learning free style swimming. David Marsh explains it very clearly, what are important, and why. Rada Owen ,the swimmer, is really really showing how to swim free style efficiently. An inspiring video. Big thanks.
I always watch this video. I think this makes more sense than most i have watched. Clearly shows it in the demo and made a huge difference in my swimming too
What a wonderful tutorial, the best ever, great for those in their learning process, a lot of details and excellent explanations. Moreover, the model, swimmer, a good one, has phenomenon skills. I am appreciative watching it, feeling thankful, thanks very much! Thanks for tutelage!!
Excelente suas dicas. Estou há 4 meses fazendo natação, mas não consigo fazer essa respiração lateral do crawl. Vou aplicar essas dicas no meu treino. Parabéns.
Great video, it really is a new approach for me as not to "pull myself forward" but to kind of swing from one side to the other. I've been working on "cutting the water" this week and it really helps, thank you!! My only problem are my legs, they just don't seem to push me forward, I must be doing something wrong, anybody has drills or video suggestions for me please?!
I am a senior swim newbie. Using snorkel enabled me to work on form and muscle memory without worrying about breathing. This tutorial will help me to fine tune to be efficient. Hopefully breathing would come naturally as a result.
"We're not trying to pull in freestyle, we're trying to set the catch and move our body by the hand". How I wish I had known this during all my years training as a masters swimmer
Hi there. Brilliant tutorial. Just one question: Does the recovery arm (fingertipps) entry the water a bit too late? One finds many videos, where the catch arm has reached already the high elbow position, when the recovery arm entries the water.
all those people who disliked are probably just people who made videos like this but are jealous that they suck at making videos like this. this is the best on youtube
Fantastic, this help me a lot with my highly resistant freestyle :D Love the drills, David instructions and Rada illustrations are straight to the points!
👏👏👏 excelenta prezentare. Este cea mai tare prezentare si cea mai complexa cred, de pe TH-cam. Păcat de claritate. Chiar dacă nu am înțeles chiar bine, am văzut etapele. Încă o data bravo!
As a swimmer, women in the water just look so much better than men. And no, I'm not just talking about looking sexy, they just have such a better flow in their movements and natural bouyancy.
Very comprehensive --- Any discussion on opening fingers on catch? What do you think of swimming in the front quadrant all the time-- Case in point of Roland Schoeman from South Africa--
Every time I see this video I learn something new about kicking technical who's provide support to most heavy part of the body position thanks again greetings from Mexico
Thanks again. Throw the arm in recovery when the other hand since pressure on the water surface is a great advice with the explanation with examples in this video greetings from Zacatlan Mexico

these drills are always done by professional swimmer, they do it flawlessly. In contrast, new swimmers dies like a whale even trying this.
Thanks AU! One of the best freestyle videos on TH-cam. Greetings from Johannesburg, South Africa.
This is similar to late Terry’s TI Swim drills but improvised and demonstrated very clearly. This one single video is good enough. Thanks 🙏
4:29 narrow stroke, swimming side to side, cutting the water; keep your back straight and your eyes down; use six-beat kick, moving side to side
6:00 overwater recovery sets up a high-elbow catch.
Drills
7:20 establishing the core of stroke; light kick
8:00 rotation and posture; straight spine, drop jaw back, raise the head slightly, neutral position

Andrew Wang thanks! Great summary.

I keep coming back to this video as inspiration for how smooth I want my freestyle to be.
I've watched countless freestyle coaching vids and this is hands down the best.
You speak my mind!
I like the course a lot, such a graceful swimmer.

It feels basic courtesy to know right names & their specific contributions, in return for all the effort, time taken by narrators!

This was probably the best educational video on freestyle technique I have seen. Appreciate the detail and a few things for me to work on!
Absolutely the best freestyle vid in my search to address my many shortcomings (especially the catch). Thank you!
Wow, the swimmer clearly and precisely demonstrated every single details of coach’s instructions. Love it.
she is likely better swimmer than the coach :)

She is amazing. So smooth and graceful!
The coaching was excellent... Thank you!
Rada certainly cuts through the water seemingly effortlessly. Smooth as silk really.
Great tutorial thanks.
She swims so easily so comfortably I know swimming is no big deal is it but I just go crazy so that's why I needed this
Rada's stroke is the most beautiful and efficient stroke I've ever seen. I am so glad I stumbled on her videos. Beauty in motion. Thanks for sharing.
Her technique is close to flawless, I could watch her glide through the water all day. Her kick is metronomic.
"We're not trying to pull in freestyle, we're trying to set the catch and move our body by the hand". How I wish I had known this during all my years training as a masters swimmer
This is a great tutorial video. She does it so effortlessly.
