Here’s why your KICKING is WRONG 

🤨📸

You…..you…….

You're goddamn right

Then you haven seen mine. They're god like.😊😅😅

Fappin' time

Hahahahahha

My whole lower body would cramp after doing this for 5 seconds

​@@stephanies3862😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣

Yes i have this problem also 😢

fr I get thembad

My leg screwed me over when I was underwater 🥲

@@Gudiesthat doesn’t sound as bad and painful as getting cramps while you sleep.

​@@TheodoreRizzo"drowning"

@@SadGameOrVidEdits I was referring to cramps not death

Preach

My coach just said this to me. I had to come to RU-vid for answers 😄

My coach didn't even mention the hip 🤦

Huh i dont do swimming very often but i always kicked from my hip for more power/speed

It means "engage your core."

I wish they'd use real words. Like, in the correct context expected for American English speaking people. I have no idea what they're talkimg about either and had no clue this was a thing. I'll work on it though. I'll have some sexy thighs!

You need to glide

hey, how is your progress?

@@thegodssin guess I have to start looking for "how to glide" videos :)

@@jdb725 Last time I managed to do this drill for 30 seconds and it was still exhausting. Swimming itself goes quite good, I mean progress is slow, but sometimes despite I swim slow I feel like its smooth at least and I'm not very tired in general after 60 mins. Proper kick is still not there... I still have a lot to improve :)

@@jmydy nice, still shows progress though, sometimes i feel like im not kicking as much as i should on my front crawl, something we could both try to focus on to improve :)

i leave my turd behind before i go to school.

Newton meant, that throwing something behind pushes you forward, transfer of momentum....👍 Jesus™️ is fake. 😂

@@cmayy8317Jesus Christ is the truth

That’s impressive

What’s ur time?

yeah for 12u

Ur coach sucks if u ranked 9 and dont know proper kicks 😅

name?

😂😂

I’m a beginner myself but I believe you may not be breathing rhythmically according to your body’s movements…breathing in tandem and being relaxed and calm is most of what swimming is about for me. Hope this helps😊

Some people are negatively buoyant. They sink! You might be too

some people are negatively buoyant so this could be your issue (you can do a float test to figure this out). this is also a very bad kick for treading water which is what this man is doing and you kind of have to have advanced technique and a very solid kick to be able to tread water like this. try using the breaststroke or rotary kicks to tread water if the flutter kick (this video) doesn't work.

That's because the pull of the arms, if you don't generate enough speed, your legs will sink.

@@rod750. it's not because of the arms. you just have to keep bringing your legs back to the surface (this is very easy once you get used to it). you should be able to keep your body horizontal in the water without using your arms at all

Keeping your toes pointed contributes to being able to keep your legs high as well.

😂😂😂

Smack your foot on the bottom 😭

Why would anyone even attempt to swim in shallow waters if they can walk instead? This is why I learn swimming at 30, because all the watera around where I grew up in the mountains, were so shallow that they barely touched the ankle level and when there was rain nobody could swim that because it was extremely fast and with a lot of things in it such as rotten woods and other random things that fell in water.

@@naomilarisavoicu because it's faster

Well, it's not possible anyway.

This might be a good way for me to remember 😂

If your watching how Rob Jones is dressed right now, what else can I do about it...?

How’d it go?

@@jadenthedancer_ lol not graceful but working on it 😅

Hey, how's your progression?

@@iamcyborg7972 Slowly but surely! Thanks for asking!

Sometimes my legs stop working altogether, even in the water. Have to keep going... Arms it is.

Just learned this doing my first Ironman! Legs are a waste other than keeping on planed out

Thats right, legs is more for balance, gliding and helping to keep torso as tight as possible on the water surface.

Not enterely true. Apart from Paltrinieri, most 1500m olympics still kick everytime (slower and with less power than shorter distances, of course, but still very relevant indeed)

you do use your legs long distance, you just kick slower. this is also not true for every stroke. the breaststroke and butterfly kicks are a lot more powerful than the flutter kick

Same, i figured out it was Basically creating your own surface area, so you can use your arm as a platform by swinging them around and your feet as a platform by doing different kicks

Knees above your hips, shoulders behind your hips. Like sitting in a deep chair angled back, femurs 45 degrees up. Also, knees outward 45 degrees. From here we can rotate, from the knees down, our legs inward. Imagine you’re drawing circles parallel to the bottom of the pool with your heels. Arms moving back and forth in a sculling motion near surface & to your side, palms down.

@@hansa9159 this is actually super helpful

@@abiolaadeleye267 I’m glad!

@@hansa9159 you have video of this?

Robert just went in the pool today. Not in a women's speedo swimsuit, I was wearing traditional swimming trunks. I do not wear Leotards in public anymore. I only have a crossdressing desire for working out at home. I just wear shorts and a T-shirt in a public gym.

Dont do it too much

Michael Jackson approves.

Damn. Such injustice. I stand in solidarity with you brother 😩✊🏾

We ain’t talking about ballet here.

😂😂😂

Gotta work on that flexibility! I would follow some folks who work on flexibility for athletes!

They just means you don't use your ankle muscles well. My get used to hurt like crazy when i started to drive manual car. Within a couple of weeks my ankle soreness vanished, and they're very flexible now. Yoga helps a lot!

How do you effectively thread

@@yvonneblake2 use a breaststroke or rotary kick. the flutter kick (the one in the video) is very inefficient in comparison. you can also try using a scissor kick to tread water, but breaststroke is the most common amongst competitive and recreational swimmers alike i believe (probably because breaststroke is a stroke that people learn regardless of whether they're swimming for recreation, fitness, or to compete, and it's both powerful and not too taxing so you can sustain it for a long time) and rotary kick is favoured by water polo players and synchronized swimmers (when they're upright) - it's also powerful, slightly more taxing imo (i'm a competitive swimmer though so i'm biased) and the main thing is that you don't bob up and down using this kick. the scissor kick can also work for treading though you will bob up and down with that one too.

I float straight up and down
