you can put the sound down so there’s no music

I honestly found the silence unsettling

@@Gibberish947 me 2 the silence is making me unable to focus on the tips i need some stimulation cmon now what is this video where are the exploding elephants?. i guess thats my adhd lol

Faxx brooo😂😂😢😢😢

Use Triswim after you swim to remove the chlorine 😊

@@sbrsportsinc no

what you smelled must be chloramite

@@sbrsportsinc Thank you!!!

haha thats me when out of breath

Kick for sprints but otherwise, kick less

If you watch Katie Ledecky's 1500 meter race she barely kicks until the last laps, she saves a lot of energy and still swims faster than any other rival

@@turritopsisrockola because it’s the longest distance

@@turritopsisrockola yes you’re right. She moves much faster than other swimmers with less kicks. She’s amazing!

Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming!

Regular practice, you'll end up being a good swimmer yourself in no time

Just focus on one thing first at a time first and put them together later.

best of luck

Good luck. ❤

Yes, sub-21 was done with straight arm. Tough way to swim though.

Yes when i rush the 50s my arm spinning straight like a Boat propeller ahaha

Straight arm over the water yes, but not underwater. It’s a straighter arm in sprinting than distance, but it’s not that over rotated position shown in the clip with a dead straight arm.

@@Chrissummerill even underwater it doesn't effect your speed but it makes it super exhausting

Sure but I like drink to milk with it to

You'll have to train your strength with different exercises

yea try lifting moderately heavy weights combined with explosive exercises, will help you establish more power, a swimming pool is only ever one setting of resistance where bands weights ect are adjustable to harder difficulty

My best time in fresstyle is 35 i am 12 year old

@@venomiscoming868 35 sec?, what is the length of the pool?

Same, my partners are newbies and they're not as right as me. YET, SOMEHOW THEY'RE OUTRACING ME!

Me…

A lot of new swimmers trying to go fast do this. Even me who'd at the point I'd last did this had already been swimming competitively for 10 years. (I started when I was 6) it's easy to do because the video way over exaggerates the movement. Crossing over actually usually comes from the hips and the swimmer trying to throw third arm further to get more reach

@@5amm0n79 I have been swimming for over 8 years, the only reason I cross over some times is when I breath too high up, it makes my right arm cross over a bit to my left side. Not as much as they show in the vid though. Y’all do competitive swimming?

Who tf crosses over bruh 5 year old me and my 4 year old baby brother didn’t even do that

@@BowlTheOne it’s not full crossing over. It’s your arms slightly bending over while swimming a few inches.

Keeping your legs straight. Don't forget that. Don't bend them like in the video.

I was going to make a similar comment.

I realize that this is an old comment but kicking much is only really done in sprints Longer distance swims / regular swims for casual swimmers benefit from only kicking for balance in order not to waste energy

Gotta get back

Thanks I didn't didn't believe them before

@@mdstate829 because of covid. Got start up again soon

I'm a growing swimmer (yep I'm a kid)

@@Hannah-mu8mv unless you(or family) are immunocompromised, covid should not be stopping you from swimming.

Thats good when you are a beginner, then you focus on technique and energy efficiency

And they say i should turn my head higher, to the point that i can see the ceiling lol

@@Shaitauh so really if u wanna be competitive faster kick is better but yes Technique is also important

@@vuongchuyenuh unless thats a weird drill ur coach is wrong

​@vuongchuyen

It’s kinda bs bc there are situations to use the straight arm and to kick more frequently

​@@williamspencer5394true

Keep up the great work! Happy swimming :)

🎉🎉🎉

😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

lol same😂

Agreed, the “correct” form, looks bad

It isn't exactly incorrect, it just helps you get your hand out easier while the straight arm puts alot of pressure to the shoulders

😂😂how breathing is incorrect!!!

True. My coach made me get to the point we're it doesn't look like I'm breathing. If he saw me breath it's another lap. For non swimmers if you go fast enough, a small air pocket forms next to your head. It lets you breath will both you eyes/goggle lenses are still in the water.

​@5amm0n79 i didnt know that thanks

You should fix that and be First.

Hi I'm 12 and I run a 4:12 mile I feel so slow oops wrong video

@@llewodcm20 Μίνι μάρκετ και το νερό

Over kicking ain't bad if you do it well. A good kick mean don't been you knees at a 90 degree angle like in the video. Keep your legs straight when you kick. Do it strong. And keep it fast.

The bottoms of most pools are marked, so swimmers can know where they are. Unless your pool isn't, then that's kind of unfortunate. Not knowing where you're going can really mess up your flow...

Our local pool isn’t marked, so, one time, when I was swimming freestyle, I scraped my fingertips on the wall (our wall is the sandpapery kind.) I had to hold in my tears.

@aswer huio what

@aswer huio how so

For nose you should learn to slowly breath out through it. Maybe try humming as you swim. In the video it shows the person breathing through one side of their mouth as they turn their head to be parallel with the surface of the water. One goggle in, one goggle out. That's a good way to do it or- if your swimming slow to try to practice breathing. Don't... The fast you go the easier it is to breath like this. Your head creates a wave as you swim. Coincidentally the low spot ends up just were your mouth is. If you go fast enough you only need to turn you head a tiny bit to get a breath. im talking if 12 o'clock is the bottom of the pool? Then 1 o'clock can get you a breath. Speed maters. If your arms are getting tired and you can't get that speed. You need to kick hard and fast with straight legs. This video says don't kick fast. But their faster kicking demo has someone kick with their legs bending like wet noodles. It will be very tiring at first but doo some kicking drills and puch through the pain of them and after a few weeks you'll notice a huge difference in both your kicking and your times. Lemme know if you need more tips. I almost went to state for the 500 freestyle back in highschool. I've got plenty of tips.

Oh right I'd also recommend starting out. Breathe every 3 strokes so you get plenty of air and learn to breathe on both sides. In you head count 1 2 3 then breath right, then 1 2 3 breath left continuing. Then once you get comfortable with that try to breathe every five. It gets you more used to holding your breath. In higher levels of competitive swim you shouldn't breathe inside the flags. At lease each pool I've seen has a set of flags hanging across the pool about 5 meters or 5 yards away from the wall.

@@5amm0n79 Thank you for those tips. I'm going to try them

Sure 😊

@@FaresKsebati that was amazing that two male and female are awesome swimmer and she was wearing a swimsuit 🩱🏊👫🩳 that was amazing video

Agreed! All swimmers should always avoid crossing their arms under their body and breaking their own personal line of symmetry!

I was talking about when you look down while swimming you will bump your head easily

There is an end line in the pool right. You watch that

If you haven't been told yet. The lines at the bottom of the pool help. Most end in a T to help you know when to flip turn.

Also, if you're swimming slow to fast, you'll always have a hand in front of your head.

@@cd7856 stop it i posted this so long agooo lol i’ve stopped being scared and now i’ve been told i look down too much 😭

It's just very tiring. For long swims it's all about that forearm game. Should use the whole thing to push the water. You can do the same with the whole arm but it takes more energy for a small increase in speed. Good for a 50 sprint but not so good for anything past 100. Definitely not for a 200 sprint.

Glad to hear that! Happy swimming!

Bro wtf this goofy ass comment have to do with swimming? Do you think it’ll make people like Christians? It just makes y’all look desperate and it’s mad annoying

Yes! You want to kick quick but not too much or you’ll get tried or what I do, is do larger more steady kicks at first then get faster as I go on!! But not too slow at first!

You want a small gap between your fingers! It creates a small membrane between your hand and the water, increasing the surface area of your hand so you can pull more!

@@FaresKsebati THX for that tip
