Very good tips. I swim open water daily, sharing a few things I have learned on my own: 1) Breathe in the pocket - When you roll to breathe, the head and shoulder moving through the water carve a low pressure area which is a small "pocket" (bowl shape) in the water under your mouth... use the pocket, and you don't have to roll so far... definitely saves energy (in my opinion, it's consumes excess energy to roll your mouth all the way to vertical to breathe) 2) In rough water - If swell coming from the side, breathe to down-swell side... this requires learning to breathe comfortably on both sides so you can deal with swell from any direction 3) Timing and technique of exhale is as important as the inhale - Time the exhale so that you complete it underwater BEFORE your mouth rolls up to inhale... there should be a very short break between exhale and inhale (appx 1/2 second) 4) Breath technique (inhale and exhale) - Take a good yoga class, learn about the pear shape of your lungs, and why you always breathe (in and out) from the low abdomen, below the diaphragm... to many people, especially men, breathe from the chest... very inefficient in regard to volume of intake and discharge, and uses WAY too much energy. (I learned this freediving)
i rarely comment on anything, but THANK YOU! finally some good info about open water. its so annyoing that 90% of open water tips are concerning triathlons! so the tips focus on the race, the swimsuit and spotting other competitors. I couldnt care less about this and just wanted this kind of tips!, thanks again.
Although I'm a triathlete myself, amem to that! Also, triathlon videos tend to focus on the ideal open water swim conditions, while glossing over when the swim is really choppy, windy, in lakes or rivers.
This one of my few comments here but i had to thank you I felt your tips were exactly what i needed and talked about the exact problems i face in open water swimming. A very useful video unlike many waste of time vids on youtube about this subject. Thank you again
out of at least a dozen videos i have watched, no body talked about these drills and taking rests and breathers in open water like this. Super practical. Thanks a ton
despite the informal way,it seems this is one of the best video I have seen for such advice. The little tips that you give have made all the difference for me. You have answered questions that I did't know how to ask. You also have such a relaxed way of doing things. Thank you very much
I dont swim at all but I have a challenge for charity to swim 750m in the open water in 14 Sep 2024. So this is the first video I liked. I am going to start with this. This is Day 1 for me.
@JennaOnTheBeach I'm actually doing 1.2 km in the pool EVERY day and doing my 4'th sea swim today. I'm 57 years old and just learned to swim this year which I was afraid of all my life. Anything is possible if you really focus. Ps I love your vids. They really helped.
Thanks Leslie! Your film presence is wonderful...I wish I lived in SF to take lessons from you. I choked on the swim in my triathlon over the weekend and will incorporate your techniques in practice to avoid the panic/hyperventilating in next race.
This advise took me from swimming 2k but having to stop every 100m to swimming 2k non-stop...the first time I tried it. Such a small change but massive impact. Thank you!
Great just great counsel, it really helped me in my training for my upcoming triatholon, simple to the point, well formatted and explained, you're a natural Leslie! Wonderful!
@@StephenMorris Nope, she is treading water, it's easy of you're buoyant - which she is - and/or you have good technique - which she also has. I can tread, shoulders above the waterline, no arms and speak just fine. It's all about water comfort in the end! :))
Thank you, got my first event in 6 weeks and am struggling to transition from pool to sea....feeling motivated this morning, off I g! Thanks from Pembrokeshire Wales!
I never took a swimming lesson in my life. I didn't like swimming up until I turned 30... so basically I rely on youtube videos for improving/adapting to open water swimming. I can say that I have seen many MANY swimming videos and this video is one of the best if not the best. The reason is that this video gives honest, thorough and straight to the point instructions for open water swimming... Not competitive swimming just swimming. None of the videos I've seen till now mentions panic attacks. I was getting them and I didn't know how to cope and now I know and I already feel confident :)... Also all instructions were given while in the water... wooo. Anyhow great video and thank you Leslie for sharing!!! I wish I saw this video a few years earlier. Swim safe!
I love the way that you speak, It's very genuine, and it's not too professional or overly urban. I'm a pretty strong swimmer ( ability wise), but I have breathing issues while doing the front crawl, and it I get tired quickly. After about 50 meters, I am ready to tank. I need to learn how to slow things down, and not be so anxious while in the water. My goal is to run a Tri in August.I'm hoping I will be comfortable enough with my form and technique to transition from the pool to open water.
I second what Miguel says, I'm an excellent runner but I can't swim for shit, and these breathing tips are really spot on! The rolling tip was a real eye opener for me! Thanks so much coach Leslie! Going tomorrow so I'll let you know how I got on! .
thank you for this video. i experience everything that you mentioned...cold water/panic attack/short of breath in my first open water. i was terrified to do another one. i thought i was going to drown..it was tough to shake it off. this information is gold to me.. thank you! i need more videos like this
Thank you for the great video. I also like the way you can stay still on the water so comfortably for a long time. At first I thought you are in shallow water standing. Very useful video.
I also rarely comment but want to thank you very much as this has been the most helpful video I have seen - as I’m preparing for my first ocean swim in a triathlon and having a difficult time adjusting to ocean swimming
Hi 70sDub. Good for you. Learning to swim as an adult is difficult! Breathing is much easier with breastroke. Everything is easier, except the timing of the stroke. If you can float during the crawl breath, then you can take as long as you need to to get air. Don't rush it. Also, make sure you exhale under water. Keep up the good work and, if you live near open water, you might give that a try soon! Leslie
Thank you for these tips! Have always wondered how one can stay in water for long! I have been swimming in the pool but still have no confidence in open water swimming 😩
Thank you. I'm an open water swimmer since my childhood, I'm 45 now. 100% of the time I swim front crawl, but ! to tame any fears I've always have my (mental) panic button: breast stroke. I never knew what is my limit. once to test my body limits I swim breast stroke in a pool for hours, and left pool without knowing my limits. It works for me. As far as I remember only once I've used breast stroke to come to shore with a big cramp. Only this year I'll be using for the 1st time openwater swim suit and buoy. my wife calls me crazy...but I've only used all my life a swim shorts swim goggles and nothing else. 200 meters from shore, 1h/2hours swim sessions. no cold :/ Cheers.
I felt better just watching your video! Thank you! I panic in the water doing freestyle (probably cause I never had instruction) - your video was so pleasant and informational and specific on how to fix anxiety. I especially thought you were genius at slowing down the breathe portion (Drill 1 and Drill 2) in beginning! Thank you so much! I am going to try this in the pool today! :)
Thankyou so much for putting that video together!I recently completed my first super sprint tri but freaked out during the swim .Watching your very informative and very encouraging video makes me feel that I may be able to try again now that I understand what may have happened. thankyou again arlene
I'm glad I saw this video, as i also teach open water swimming in India and i also cover almost all of the points you mentioned in this video. Good to see the same teaching techniques from other part of the globe is same #shakirkhanfitness
Thanks for this! I’ve recently taken up open water swimming each morning with an experienced group of swimmers and have been struggling. Stroke technique is good but breathing is not since I’ve breathed in salt water a few times which results in nasty breathing issues (out of the water) later in the day. Shall give these drills a go! Again, thanks!
What helps me with hyperventilation in cold water is "bubble first": before swimming, get into the water about waist deep then put your face in the water and exhale slowly. Stand up, inhale, face into the water, exhale. The first couple of iterations usually give me sort of panic attacks in cold water and I start hyperventilating, but doing this several times usually calms me down and I can swim more or less normally after that.
Hi Arele, Thanks for your comments. OW swimming gets better with time. My next video will be about panick attacks. Unfortunately they are common, esp at the start of a race. Don't give up!
Hi Hunter, Thanks for writing. If your head is raised, even slightly, you will sink. If you keep your head all the way down in the water (submerged), while swimming and while breathing, you will float. Let us know who the race goes! Leslie
i am a keen swimmer but barely could swim at all. for safety is first especially in open water. but no matter little ability to float will count, maybe save life. i remember when i was very young my little abiliy to swim had saved me, when the tide raised. do not be shy wearing a life jacket, it is life at stake.
Trust me, that stretch of water in the bay area is as cold as anywhere in Scotland! Why do you think Alcatraz was built there? Extremely cold water and vicious currents! Nowhere in the UK is warm to swim, regardless of the time of year! My suit never comes off!
Why do so many people give this comment a thumbs up? Scottish ego? There is very little in it. Ocean Beach, SF is very cold water. It's the North Pacific, after all. It is a colder body of water than the Atlantic. Scottish, West coast is very manageable due to golf stream and is not at all bad during the summer for fairly long periods once you have acclimatised. San Francisco is a touch colder during the summer months but on average a 4 or 5 degrees warmer in winter. Of course, Scotland is further north, after all. I've spent time swimming and surfing in both areas. I was shocked by how cold SF was the first time I visited. But, yeah... Try Siberia, mate ;)
I'm pretty impressed by your teaching ma'am... It's really very informative and important part of swimming... I think.. I lost my brother and father... Due to drowning in the lake...😢😢😢😭😭 Because this can be the reason I lost both of them..🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇🙇🙌🙌🤗🤗❤❤❤😍👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏👑👑👑 Ma'am.. Ur really amazing.. I adore you.. 😇😇😂💞🤗🤗
I've been so surprised at how I have initially panicked again and again in open water triathlons, even though I regularly swim and am very comfortable in open water. I'll try your tips next time ... thanks!!
Maureen Levesque I feel a sense of panic just thinking of this. I'm not an avid swimmer but it was a daunting task barely snorkeling the deep ocean. She seems like an incredible teacher but I fear failing so much
"Sighting" would have been a good mention. It's wise to periodically look ahead. Otherwise, I miss my escapees from Alcatraz. Much love from Lake Ontario!
thanks for the tips! i've been going swimming the past few days and was getting frustrated by my faulty breathing. I used to swim a lot as a child and was surprised that i'd lost the habbit of doing what you explained in the video. It was very annoying for me since I knew that I was physically capable of doing it right, but had a mental block (I panicked because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to reach my goal with sufficient breath. I'm trying again tomorrow with your advice in mind!
Those are very useful tips. I wish I could join you in sf now. I was there backpacking in august 2013 and decided that I wanted to try swimming in the Pacific so I asked a couple to keep an eye on my backpack and swam a good half an hour in my underwear. It was fun and I remember a lady pulled out of the warm in a thick wetsuit asking me if I wasn't cold. I was a bit but that feeling of freedom. Greetings from an Italian walrus :)
I mostly just swim on my back, that solves a lot of breathing issues, lol. I guess if you're swimming competitively you need to do the front crawl for speed, but I just swim for pleasure, so I'm not restricted in that way. Side stroke is also good for breathing continuously. Back swimming and side swimming also keep your eyes in the water less.
What happens if a shark attacks you on open water? What stroke and breathing should I utilize? Or should I stay still until shark passes by? The only thing that has prevented me from swimming on open water is because of sharks
Great video ! Are you still swimming I just start swimming on June at Topanga beach and I love it, I’m learning a lot of great swimmers like you sharing theirs knowledge , I learn a lot because I’m on the same conditions And I relate a to all your video thank you, at what time you swim at what beach I’ll might stop one day and It would be a pleasure to see you if one day you are in the area
Roll the whole body? Perhaps this is different than indoor pool swimming techniques - where you keep one goggle in the water at all times, breathing with part of your mouth

I couldn´t said better! This is a spot on tips!
totally agree. I'm new to all this and have my first triathlon next month and find most the tri videos hopeless
Don't forget to check out "Wild Swimming" - this is more like true "Open Water" swims, no Triathlete info. :))
This one of my few comments here but i had to thank you
I felt your tips were exactly what i needed and talked about the exact problems i face in open water swimming. A very useful video unlike many waste of time vids on youtube about this subject.

Some very useful advice for a newly converted triathlon participant in the making!
How are you talking and keeping your hand also out of water. Could you pls teach us that also. :)
Anyone knows the background music at the beginning of the video? like it very much.
Hi Hunter, Thanks for writing. If your head is raised, even slightly, you will sink. If you keep your head all the way down in the water (submerged), while swimming and while breathing, you will float. Let us know who the race goes! Leslie
i am a keen swimmer but barely could swim at all. for safety is first especially in open water. but no matter little ability to float will count, maybe save life. i remember when i was very young my little abiliy to swim had saved me, when the tide raised. do not be shy wearing a life jacket, it is life at stake.
You think the water's cold in San Francisco!?!? Try Scotland mate
Trust me, that stretch of water in the bay area is as cold as anywhere in Scotland! Why do you think Alcatraz was built there? Extremely cold water and vicious currents! Nowhere in the UK is warm to swim, regardless of the time of year! My suit never comes off!

Yeah... but this is in San Francisco no?

excellent video, thx!
Should I punch the shark open hand or with a fist? I am afraid that I will break my hand if I punch the shark really hard and that may hinder my swim.
Only if you survived your hand and fist!!
great stuff.
Agree with others here, excellent video especially the drills. Simple advice really, but explained in a clear easy to understand way. Thanks!👍
Thanks Leslie!
