+Whatever do you speak tamil

Dragon Master no, why?

XD

same, I'm like a Swimming Exercise Noodle, forgetting how to use my limbs. I'll never make it, I can say I'm a professional floater.

***** Why would you take your laptop to the pool? Cover it up man

Lol hahaha!

***** Also my WiFI

***** you don't need to bring laptop, what about bring smartphone?

+Gigatless had to record it on my phone lol

Good luck breathing 😂

same

Give me some skill :(

Totally...

Pablo Lopez I like your doggyyyyyyy

Thanks for the feedback Marko, we'll keep those ideas in mind for our future videos. Speedo

+SpeedoInternational Hey I just wanna know that a swimming cap increases speed or not.

+Mohammed Masood not too much, better go to the trainings

+franck malottky Not too much but does it have some effect???

Mohammed Masood yes it does have an effect

Kick bruh

@@yashpanjrath3807 🤣

Vincent2wice Big mood

Remember to practice to remember the proper position and to generate speed. If you swim enough, you might just get enough endurance to not pass out after a 50. I should know because I am in swim team and always want breath.

Wtf !!! Im in toilet too while im watching this

My coach said l should watch RU-vid lol

Easy way to confuse things and poop in the pool.

Keep your head down and neck down and keep core muscles pulled in. Break water with the crown of your head and hold your body straight all the way from crown to tailbone. Legs are quite floppy for a long set. The high elbow technique and breathing to the side will help you not to raise your head/shoulders which it what sinks your legs. The body rotation is important for that too, try to have your hands close to your body so you aren't wasting energy and you kick on the water you've pulled.

Breath to the side every third stroke, keep the water line at your hairline (assuming you don't have a receding hairline). Head position determines whether or not your legs sink. It is surprising but true.

I agree this is not for competition. This style is more like front-quadrant swimming that Thorpe used to do which is hard for short distance sprinting. I think straight arm recovery depends on shoulder structure and swimmers choice. Some fast sprinters don't bend their arm much to get a quicker catch i.e., not having to extend arm in water to save fraction of time I guess.

Bend your arms during the pull and straighten when you push them forward again

okaygn started at 30 and able to swim a bit with the help of such videos in just few tries already.

Ha I'm learning at 14. Its never 2 late. My issue is with breathing. I know my strokes but I never intake enough air, mostly pool water. And that causes me to panic and stop swimming to normalise my breath. Its also really frustrating when you're learning with a 10 year old who is so much better than you. I want to excel in my class, I just get nervous once I'm in the water

Did you get the job

Because swimming flat, can lead to serious injuries later on, and medical problems

Like what?

Chuck Norris Shoulder issues. Also you will go faster on your side. A physics thing. lol

when you swim flat, your arm has to reach behind your back as you pull, straining your shoulder (it can lead to injuries.) if you rotate as you pull, your arm doesn't have to go past your body. you can also reach farther forward with your body rotated.

because you might fall in drown

Im noticing some questionable demos too.

Freddy Rodriguez how do you know that

Every phase is wrong. Recovery - keeping the wrist above the elbow. Catch with straight arm. You'd just get a rotation cuff injury. Catch is awful, a lot of power wasted on down move. An extreme overgliding. You will never get past 2 minutes pace...

talk to michael phelps, not us

Thank you sir

Thank you

I'm a tired old footy player, 40yo. I'm starting swimming as a low impact alternative to running.

It gives you cardiac arrest.

Have no regrets, it's better late than never. Cheers!!

@@bastogne315maybe if you have a heart condition, but that has a chance of happening with any physical activity.

you made me laugh hard lol haha

+Gino Bretana you should try sepak man

+tomaramudarurls how old r u? and thats quite good

that was me when I first started! good for you for searching up these videos! you'll get to varsity soon!

I've started swimming when I was 6 and now I have a pretty good freestyle tehnique and I'm kinda fast lol But I'm hoping to join college swimming club soon so hopefully I'll improve!

No no no if it was ign they would either say everything's shit and give it at least 7 or it is very nice and give it less than 7

Ррғүгг

🤣🤣🤣🤣

A little something for everyone

simple, swim as best as u can. and keep breathing

Breathe, it's ok :). You focus on one or two techniques at a time until they are mastered and begin to become muscle memory. It takes even just good swimmers practice to master these. Great swimmers have spent years learning and training outside the pool to become great.

+Franky Acosta put your belly on something high off the ground with your legs and arms off

***** Training outside the pool is fitness training. Sorry.

hahaha

lol

I’m going to do that today in swimming lesson and I’m nervous :c we are going to do it in the deep too and I’m short T^T

@@Sara-wq1lj you can always hold on to the wall

Icey how are you now?

That's what you need Speedo.

Try breathing every stroke until your stamina improves.

How are you doing now at it if you are still doing it? Also I’ve been swimming for 8-9 years and I still breath 2’s. Breathing 3’s is most likely the best for most swimmers for stability over long distance. Breathing 2’s or 4’s is on one side and can leave you unbalanced after multiple strokes of it.

​@@berrianazrubel795can replay based on my similar experience. When I started freestyle I couldnt swim half pool without going down like russian axe... I could easily swimm two kilometers with breaststroke at the same time! Month later I could do two pool lengths of freestyle. Year later I could go finnaly 500m with freestyle. After that it was purely mental overcoming because once I reached freestyle 500m swimming it was my brain that was limiting me. Once I overcame mental barier I could do 2km of freestyle swimming. That took something like a month for my surprise... I started with breathing every two. Skipped every three and went to breathing every four. How I got there? I started swimming pool length under water. That is 25m lenght without breath and breathing between pool lenghts. Went further by going to olympic size pool and doing same excercise there too. Personal record so far 40m on single breath under water. Hopefully someday I will reach 50m on single breath... One day.... Even more so, I was swimming at the depths of 4,5 meters. Thats how I went from two to four strokes between breaths swimming freestyle - mental barier and underwater swimming excercise.

Yeah it does take time but apparently, our teacher wants us to learn it in a DAY. Plus with only one demonstration.

​@@ottery2242 Sounds like Navy Boot Camp.

ive been swimming for 15 years wrongly lol

Thanks

the most important thing is swim frequently, the more frequent you swim the better your swim

I have swimming tomorrow so we'll see if it works da?

Man thanks

ok

passion taylor facts

Same

Don't worry, It's really poorly communicated. There are dozens of better videos on front crawl than this.

it was confusing for me at first too (I first just watched the video without pausing or anything), but I'm only watching this bc my coach made the swimmers do online assignments for the swim team lmao. and he made us take notes on the techniques he's describing, and honestly now it makes a lot more sense lmao I just broke everything down :)

Jon Manilenio lol

Jon Manilenio same here! Lol

LMAOO

they are "killing you as fuck" ???

yea lol
