Wow this is the 1st best free technique on youtube
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!
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!
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.
Been swimming for 20 years and I think you have explained it very clearly, great job. Thanks for your video!!!
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.
This is one of the best training video's I've seen to date, very helpful. Thanks!
out of all the swimming videos Ive watched on KZread Ive learned the most from this one. well done.

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.

Terrific! Keep us posted on your progress.
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.
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!
Best explanation of this I have even seen or heard!
BEST videos about freestyle technique!!!
wow. Incredible. After hours of watching different videos, his helped by far the most.
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.

That was a splendid demonstration (The box)...makes it easier to understand where your hands go during the catch phase. Thanks.
Perfect all around video for freestyle swimming.
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.
Phenomenal. Simple and clear. Thank you!
Great video. Super simple and not overwhelming. Thanks!
The box analogy is the best way I have seen this explained as a new swimmer.
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,

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/

Thank you so much, your advice was absolutely amazing
this has made me understand a high elbow position! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Your video tutorials have helped me tremendously in improving my swimming. Thanks very, very much.🙏🏿
It's best video in this subject i've ever seen on YT. Going to try this today :)
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

I've seen many kind of videos to this technic but YOU explained it so god!!! I always swim with the ellbow and not with the big muscle(latissimus),I try it tomorrow Thanks Korlyn ;-)
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
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
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!

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..
This is what youtube for. Thanks for this helpful video.
