This video is very helpful. I have run a marathon and have gone for 150km bicycle rides. Swimming was something I always feared because of nervous and chaotic breathing. At age 63 I have decided to give swimming a serious GO. I can now manage 25 metres freestyle without gasping. I’ll practice some of these techniques and look forward to being able to swim a reasonable distance without tiring. I’ll watch more of your videos. Very inspiring.

@KenCozine 10 месяцев назад

My swimming technique is different since I swim in the open ocean. I do look up on occasion to get a fix on a landmark on the shore such as a rocky coast area or maybe distant palm trees. Also you're dealing with waves or currents. Sometimes you need to push your head further out of the water to breathe when it's really wavy or you'll get a mouth full of water. For breathing I alternate sides left and right. When I'm swimming I get into a rhythm and my mind seems to drift into a form of meditation.

@escostar6331 Год назад

thanks to this channel i started my first swim yesterday after not swimming since a teen... my first fear of getting back in the pool was 1) the water, then 2) putting and keeping my face in the water 3) worrying my freestyling like a headless chicken would cause people to look at me which affected my breathing, lol... but i got through it! my first session was my first fear so i did it... but watched a few of your videos so keen on putting those techniques to practice. can't believe how far my skills have fallen but that's ok, can always get it back with this channel.

I’ve always been extremely scared of being in water but just started taking lessons. I’m here because (just my bad luck) my instructor is kind of a bully and forcing me to go at a pace I’m not only uncomfortable with but also scared of. She called me lazy, while it was very evident to everyone that I’m just too scared after swallowing a lot of water the previous day. I wish the instructor was as kind and patient as the person in this video seems.

@NancyWhite-hv8lo 11 месяцев назад

Glad to have found this channel! Had the good fortune to start using a pool recently after 11 years of not swimming laps. Realized that 11 year old goggles had to go! Newer goggles are wonderful and made such a difference. I've had to stop between laps for 2 reasons: fear of hitting the wall, having never learned how to rebound to finish the lap; and plain old fatigue (69 yo and haven't worked out in a long time). Second time I went, I finished 5 laps with different strokes within 20-25 minutes. Pretty shoddy, but I am determined to learn how to improve my technique, speed, and agility as time goes on. I will be frequenting your channel for tips!!

@gabscar1 Год назад

Excellent video. Thanks!

@TheArgieH Год назад

Many thanks. Great advice and something to work on. The main problems I encounter are when practising during public lane swimming sessions. Despite pool etiquet asking you to use the appropriate lane and switch if necessary, speeds across participants can still be somewhat variable. You do need to know what is happening in front of you, the wall is fixed but people are not. Bluntly, without taking a look to the front, from time to time, you can end up with a faceful of foot. I am usually reluctant to overtake anyone, not least because lanes can be narrow and you certainly need to be aware of what might be coming the other way. But it is necessary on occasion and again it upsets the head position. What would be great is an aquatic parking sensor built into prescription goggles (joke).

@Flipper86 7 месяцев назад

They’re focused on breathing position, not scanning the pool while swimming. Two different issues.

@TheArgieH 7 месяцев назад

@@Flipper86Thanks, in practice I do not find them entirely separate. I was chatting it through with my swimming teacher this week (coincidence!). It's a "Be a better swimmer" class, a combination of drills and blocks of lengths addressing the main strokes. During classes you generally know where everybody is and you have your own lane. You can hold the correct head position with little danger. In a public lane swimming session it can be a bit different. The speeds of folk can be variable and you simply need to know who is in front of you and what progress they are making. I have also encountered folk doing a tumble turn, whilst taking no account of what might be behind them (thankfully not too often). I suppose my problem might be muscle memory resurrecting bad habits.

@dpmcmanus50 Год назад

One of the coaches in my masters group had us do the paddle drill. That paddle was off immediately! I always THINK I have a decent freestyle. But oops! Going to try it again by myself. As for the snorkel, weirdly I'm so used to taking a breath by moving my face to the side that water got into the snorkel and I thought I would drown. I see folks swimming a long comfortably wearing snorkels. But nope, not for me! Threw that thing off me so fast! Old habits die hard lol! That said, whatever tools help your swimming, more power to you! My favorite pool gear: pull buoy. I'm immediately about 10-15 seconds faster per 100 while using it. Which is why my coach set out to wean me away from it and substitute an ankle band. (Coaches! But seriously he's awesome!) The band means I have to use core muscles to stay level. No free ride! I still use the buoy sometimes, such as doing cooldown and for sets where all my lanemates use them. But now I also use bands especially during warm-up.

@kevinsutton844 Год назад

In the picture you can see several things that are an opportunity for improvement. First, there is a lifting of the head. It automatically causes the hips and legs to sink. For better breathing and streamline allow the water to hold the head where it will be in the water. It creates good head-spine alignment and the legs and hips will feel lighter and it will lengthen stroke length. Second, on recovery, the hand is above the elbow. This too causes the body to sink, reducing streamline. Have a "marionette" arm and hand where recovery is with the elbow. It creates no sinking, better "tracks" for entry into the water. Again, it will lengthen stroke length. Both of these will reduce drag and increase efficiency.

After years of not swimming. I came back and started using the snorkel to do my laps. I could knock out 20 or 30 no problem. About a month ago my snorkel broke and I decided I didn't want to buy another one. I figured I would just swim without it. Unfortunately, I learned that I had become dependent on the snorkel. I cannot seem to get a good rhythm whether I breathe every stroke, every 3 or every 4. i breathe out through my nose before taking a breath. By the time I finish one full lap I am out of breath and have to wait to do another lap. It is not improving. Trying figure this out. Oh and I am naturally buoyant. Couldn't go down if I tried.

Hi there! A snorkel is a great tool for getting started. You can try interchange laps with and without a snorkel so you can keep your endurance but work on not relying on the equipment completely. Good luck :)
