You went through that water like fire through bushes. When I swim, there is a tidal wave mini tsunami from my arms splashing . If some one is in the lane next to me they get violently assaulted from my tecnique. Second, my legs sink like the titanic. I'm a breathless n panting mess by the time I get to the end of the pool from kicking so hard to keep my legs up.

Yeah! Just like step onto the other world. A lot of thinking comes "after" swimming (our mind is empty while swimming), like as we all get used to clean up our body but we have to learn how to clean our mind for entire life. Swimming give me the chance to mind each and every body's movement and posture. But running still my favourite exercise, it's meditation.

I’m returning to swimming after 20 years and this video feels made for me. Training for long distance running, the idea of an energy conserving stroke for distance swimming is a perfect pairing for my goals. Props to your camera man and breaking down the stretches and components. Time to find a similar video for breaststroke 🎉

For over a week I was going through swimming videos before I go back into swimming after 3 years, just to ease my way in an acceptable session and this video just made my day! I can’t wait to try this technique out tomorrow, it makes perfect sense and I love it!

For intermediate swimmers like myself, this has to be the best-explained video on the subject of freestyle technique I've seen. I would love to find videos on other strokes explained so well. Well done!

I worked on this technique the past 2 days and I LOVE it! I had lumbar surgery earlier this year so this method is great for me because it allows for less kicking (constant flutter kicking often causes strain on my back). I'm not pulling 1:05/100m but I definitely feel smoother and more comfortable!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

I’ve been practicing this technique for the last 9 weeks in open water . I must say this is by far my favorite technique to use

I just wanted to say you have the VERY best videos to teach how to freestyle. I especially appreciate how you show the errors and then how to correct them. Your line drawings help too. Not many videos show this. You are a great instructor. I want to watch and learn from all of your teachings. Gracias!! ❤

Okay, this was probably the most dense swimming video I’ve ever seen, so much useful information and tips in just 10 minutes 👏. Thank you so much!

As a competitive swimmer this is how I always swam when I was going at a medium to medium fast pace for more than a 50. My coach would always get mad about my 2-3 beat kick. I was always the fastest puller in on my team. Lol

Thank you for you

You are not going to believe this, but I totally thought my swimming style was totally wrong. I have been swimming like this for over a year, but I was convinced there was not a proper technique for it. Watching this video has given me now more confidence. I'm doing a 10k swim in May, so your advice will help me improve my now no so personal technique. Haha. I've learnt to feel the water--as you mentioned-through time and that's what led me to start swimming like this since I do not need a lot of effort. Cheers, mate.

Since i‘ve just started training to become an agegrouper triathlet (30), i‘ve been looking for videos on how to improve my swimming technique and i found this video toda. So thankful and grateful! 🏊🏽‍♂️🙏🏽

I was swimming competitions 48 years ago. Got back to swimming and found that! OMG in 2 weeks I know how to do it. Thank you so much. Looks amazing and sounds absolutely logical

Hi! This is a great tutorial; I figured out this technique 3 years ago when I started D3 collegiate swimming. I've since become the best distance swimmer on the team and gotten all-conference in 1650 yards (18:01). This technique can be great for distance swimmers!

This is a fantastic video, and your instruction regarding energy conservation is spot on for distance swimming. One additional suggestion for beginners is to keep your “head down”, which will help keep your body horizontal. Think of bow and stern - head above water will cause back of body to sink deeper below water - which slows down your glide. This is by far the BEST SWIM VIDEO I’ve seen on KZread. And agree, your cameraman was an MVP.

Every time I am in my beginning swimming class, I think about this guy every single time. I try to keep him in mind, he is such an inspiration for me as a beginning swimmer!

The glide plus this arrow technique has made swimming hours on end feel like effortless joggin', just really easy to find the flow and pace it up at anytime I please, THANK YOU BOSS

This has become part of my daily work outs. I use it with my 3 main strokes, freestyle, backstroke and my side stroke. It gets me to focus on the pull and body rotation. I am not sure if my times have improved, but efficiency sure has.

I'm so happy for your videos :) The detailed explanations taught me in a month to learn freestyle swimming in a very effective way and make the swimming loved again for me, haven't done for about 20 years. Thank you!

I tried this today for the first time and it shot my 100m time from 2:02 to 1:52 instantly, and that was only training for 35 mins, I'm very thankful I found this as I felt like I'd reached a wall with my improvement. You were very clear and to the point with your explanations, thank you very much. I will continue to work on this technique and hopefully improve further.

I watched this video around 6 months ago. I at that point could not even swim 25m without needing to stop. Bad technique, bad breathing. This video caught my attention. Since then I’ve been working on my technique a lot and I can happily say I can swim around 10 laps with just a short pause at the end to turn around. I really feel like I am swimming elegantly now and conserving energy as I go. Your video made a guy who refused to get into pools into wanting to swim every day. Thank you so much.

Thank you! just tried this and is smooth! It is perfect for my pace! I'm going to continuing practicing till perfect 10/10

That’s soooo cool, my time is a 1:02 when I’m going as fast as I can and it’s so cool that you can go that fast with being so smooth

Revolutionary! Your arrow freestyle training really helped me to grasp it. But when I compared this method to "regular" kicking on 100 m, both took me 1:51. My trainer suggests that this is because my legs are bended a bit and I need to work on straightening them more.

I watched this video sooo many times that I impressed my couch! Thank you brother! “No matter how high we elevate ourselves, we always practice the basics, as per my personal-life experience!

This content is sooo flippin cool. Who needs a coach if you have this coach who is so amazing to give this life saving information for free. I started using this information a few weeks ago and it is helping me sooooo much. I can already feel and see a difference in my swimming.

Watching your video, I just realized that I had incidentally adopted the Arrow Freestyle Technique without knowing. 🤟🏽 I am also using a pull bouy and swim pads during my swimming exercise regime. Thank you for the video.

thanks. i practised this for a month and now im able to do freestyle swiming.

This video is magical! Thankyou! I saw it again and followed the exercises! Suddenly the two beat kick just takes your endurance to new levels! 👌🏾👌🏾☀️

Incredible breakdown of one freestyle technique. Your channel is so valuable, whatever the swimming level of anyone watching. Thank you!

All I can say is WOW! I’m new to swimming and have learned so much! I took notes and cannot wait to try this out at the pool today. Will check out your other stuff soon. Love the tshirts and the joke, too.

I tried this technique at the end of our tri club workout this morning. I was able to hold a faster pace with much less effort. Thanks for the video. This will help with an Ironman swim.

Luis makes it look so simple and smooth. A single arrow stroke has got so much of practice and experience to make it look like a dolphin.

Thank you, it's very useful. I used to be a competitive swimmer in my childhood till 15 y.o. and now (33 y.o) trying to get back into swimming and learn smith new. Attempting this "arrow" style for two weeks now (non-stop 2 km daily) and still feel awkward and clumsy, mostly because of loosing the balance on catch-up stroke after the breathing. Theory and exercises bringing some confidence.

Estupendo, llevo años esperando a que hicieras "este video", y ahora igual hasta nos vas enseñando mas ejercicios en esta linea de técnica. Muchas gracias!!!!!

Hi, This is awesome content! Thank You! -Jasen Robles, Philippines just shared this to my team... The logo shows the proportion of man "vitruvian man" in swimming... the balance of bubbles from the pull/kick and the high elbow is just awesome!

Absolutely excellent 10/10. I teach/coach so much of this technique but this progression is outstanding. Thank YOU

I did a lot of swimming, short distance and medium distance (1.5km). I like that gliding is in focus with that „arrow freestyle“. I might be wrong, but Ian Thorpe (AUS) swam like that. Best idea here and enlighting explanation was „listenening“ to your stroke. Never ever was I instructed to listen. Great tip.

Great video!! 👍🏽👍🏽 This has answered all my questions about how to swim without getting tired after a few strokes.

You are amazing!!! I have been swimming for years for the condition. Your movies are a mine of knowledge. By applying the knowledge contained in your films, I have quickly improved my technique and I am able to swim the distance of 2-4 km without interruption. Thank you very much

The coolest freestyle video I've ever seen! Thank you very much!

very well explained, swim has been changed my life

Learnt how to swim using this video, started 7 weeks ago and just finished a 45 minute non stop swim thanks to this video. Approx 2 x 25m lengths per minute literally can't believe it. Got a bit sloppy as I had done another 45 mins before! Next goal is yo work on corr strength so I can dolphin kick qnd keep better streamline.

Wow! You're a very good cameraman and the explanation is so easy to comprehend! Thanks a lot

Tried this today and my muscles are sore at places i've never felt before after swimming. It is comforting that i'm not as winded as compared to constant flutter kicks. However my muscles do get fatigued quicker than usual.

C’est une très bonne vidéo d’explication et d’excellente qualité d’images et de montages . Bravo 🎉🍾🎊🎈 !! Congrats !!

This is awesome. Most of the time, only the fast front crawl technique with flutter kick is taught in swim classes, and I'm terrible at it. The two-stroke kick is what I do naturally, and it feels right for endurance swimming, now I know why. Interesting to see is that you wait with the other hand inside the water and not outside. I always have the feeling this causes resistance, but maybe I need to train the entry and waiting hand position more.

This is brilliant, I went under 2mins/100m in one practice! I need to work on hand movement and right leg kick, but the effectiveness is just amazing. I was struggling with breathing before, this gives me a much callmer swim.

Great video! Can’t wait to try it. The picture I’m the shirt is a head-on view of a swimmer with the right hand fully extended in front and the left hand beginning recovery.

i improved my 2 stroke technique thanks to this video. the best movie I've ever found to learn swim. Well done master !

I’ve never focused on just getting a singular stroke down in order to fix my form but I will now!

It took me about 30 hours in the pool to learn this technique. The hardest part was learning to breathe while turning my head out of water. Now I can swim half the pool without taking a breath and, most importantly, I don't feel tired while swimming. Thank you for all advice, excellent work 🙂.
