Wondering if there is a trick to stop water going up my nose? I was never taught to swim, and can get by, but when I try the breathing and “ leaving one eye in the water” water tends to go up my nose. I see the person in the videos doesn’t use nose things ( not sure what they are called). I’m currently nursing a nasty ear infection from water going in my nose. I will keep trying!

It would be nice to have a video about the real basics, like how to relax in water so to breath easy and avoid CO2 build up, how to use strength while performing flutter kicks so swimmer won’t go backwards or stagnant in water, how to get the accurate breathing window so swimmer is not pressing the water down with lead hand just to bring head up to water surface, instead of using shoulder rotation to help breath at ease. Don’t get me wrong, this is a fantastic video, but it’s more for people who can already swim a lap or two to fine tune their techniques instead of a real “how to” guide for non-swimmer, just my suggestion.

Thekidisalright agree, good video but no mention of breathing (how/when/techniques) or what to do with the legs. As a total beginner researching ‘how to swim’ I feel this does assume I have some prior experience & a basic foundation to build on.

I am 70. Hard to believe and I have recently started swimming again. Never really cared for it the past, but the gym was getting a little boring and I wanted to try something different. What I have discovered is there is a lot more to swimming than I thought --- much more than showing up at the gym and going through a my roiutine. Swimming is more mental and the questionis is applying what I just heard when I get to the pool which is where I am going next. I'm starting to see the importance of seeing myself perrorming each movemnet down to perfection.

Hah - I'm 30 but never managed to swim due to phobia - however I've started taking swimming lessons now just becuase of this/I wouldn't want to regret it when I'm a bit older. So far so good! Love it. Second lessons and I can already flutter kick almost properly and I feel comfortable in water

Without a doubt the video that's helped me most as a beginner. Thank you tons!

Those are excellent video shots. The pacing, cuts and lighting really help with the narration. Thank you 🙏🏼

Fantastic job by the film crew on this one. And great explanation of course!

Awesome. Can say this has greatly helped my front crawl. Nice that everything is in one video from the same people. Rather than scattered technique tips from different companies. Thanks.

I have very little swimming training back from my when I was 15. Now at 37, this whole week I've been going swimming at my local gym at 5 am. There are always 2 older Asian ladies, in their 70's, swimming with such perfect form! I must look so silly when I come in with my pink beach trunks, no goggles, no hair cap, and splashing all over the place. When they are swimming, it's completely quiet !!! I Just got my head cap, and goggles; With this video, I'll be showing them bitches wuzzup soon lol.

Tried the arms and breath timing today, both very helpful.

Thank you, my daughter was much better at this now it was the breath part she did get better, and the arm part too. 👍

How would you structure a complete swim session, from beginning to end, so that it includes both drills and intervals?

Your guys video helps me so much ❤❤.I improved a lot.

Can I confirm that post the catch phase, your straight arm goes directly down prior to bending it and pushing back. I have also been doing an ‘S’ shape after the catch. Does this help?

I do swimming lessons this actually helps because I usually struggle with freestyle

Hello, & thank you. I learned a lot. Do you recommend using a kick board to help with speed for the front crawl?

Well done, beautiful explanation and editing. I will try the rotation bit at the end, never thought about it up until this moment!

Hi. Very informative but I am used to open water so struggle with breathing correctly during stroke. I often lift my head before turning it to the right. My current average is 2 minutes per 100m but want to go much faster. Stroke rate averaging 14 per 25m. Leg kick tends to slow me down. If I use ki kboard I can do 25m in 2 mins 15secs as I can hardly move jyst kicking. I still do not know how to sort this issue. I do however have a good catch and pull but seem not to be able to completely turn my shoulder over to get maximum stretch. Can you please advise how I can improve further? Thanks.

Excelent video 😉👍

I used to be a fast swimmer when I was younger but it's been a LONG time since I did it. Just started going to the aquatic center near me, and on my first day back, they had a team training with their coach there. Oh man, did I feel self-conscious lol. I was really out of form, and after a few laps, decided to use my swimming snorkel until I can go without it. But I was happy overall and felt great after around 45 minutes of laps. Going to start swimming 3-4x a week, instead of the boring old cardio I've been doing for years.

i have been training to swim for 1 year but had to move on due to financial issues i can mostly freestyle but titling my head to breath has been a challenge for me so i might try to go back into swimming

Great breakdown. I seem to have a problem gulping some water as I breath while doing freestyle. Is there some tips on this?

Best video thank you

I know swimming but I feel I am very clumsy swimmer. I never learnt it from a pro. This video helped a lot.

Amazing info!!!!!

I am finally getting that feel of swimming with ease because my technique is getting better, but I still need to get better endurance

Fantastic

How to breath? How to move legs and knees?

I get the whole concept cleared in the movements and everything but what about the breathing part how do you breathe lol. Cause if I wanna learn how to swim, I first wanna know how will I save myself if I drown, I should be able to breathe

Breathe out from your nose in the water and when you rotate your torso, your head should only come out of the water slightly to take a breath. Don't lift your head out, you can really strain your neck. I like to use the lane line or wall as a focal point.

Hi. I am a newbie swimmer. When I turn my head and breathe on my left, my feet do not sink. But when I turn on my right, my head rises excessively, and feet sink. Pl advise some corrective drills to prevent excessive head elevation and leg sinking. One seems to be connected to the other. Thanks in advance

These videos look great and are super helpful! Should I press the thumb with other fingers, or let it loose?

Good will try hope to see more

Very informative now I see where I've been going wrong for 46 years lmao

I wish this video had been around in 2009. I was a ok swimmer with lots of raw strength. I had a good coach but I literally needed a visual and almost someone to direct my arms and this wasn’t the style of teaching that my teammates or coach had the temperament for. And KZread existed but now it’s been around long enough to find anything you want. Oh well I still love swimming and improvement is a lifetime habit.

One word. BREATHE!

Good Explanation 😉💅

this is a top top video

After first time watching turned of video

Hello, during the freestyle at which point does your leading arm start to pull into the water? What my coach taught me was that your back hand ahould be brought forward amd touch the leading hand before the leading hand starts to pull. But i observe that other people don't really do that. So do you start to pull with your leading hand when your back hand exits the water or what? What's the cue for your front arm to start pulling?

Started swimming again after many years absence to help reduce fat tummy but also really helping early arthritic hip, I'm just getting confidence enough to do this Front Crawl but I can't get the breathing in without catching and taking water causing me of course to choke very annoying so how do I time that? 🤔

Great vid just wished it included what to do with the legs. Thanks for the content!

Very nice

Thanks, this is helpful... although looks so easy in a flat pool, I'm trying to swim in the ocean...

Im new to swimming.I can swim but i havent done it regularly like im doing now. I swim 3 times a week but im finding my right shoulder hurts the next day. Is there something i can do to counteract this other than warming up,cooling down and trying to do good form strokes.?

That's what we like to hear 🙌

the 'slicing' of the water is actually a very bad tip. Most people tend to cut in way too short en way too slowly because of that general advice. Most top swimmers actually have a pretty heavy entry with quite some splash. The splash itself is not such a big issue, as long as the fingers go in first, elbow high and aligned with the shoulder. So don't bother trying to slice the water, just go in smoothly and don't mind the splash that much
