I self learned free style since last year as a newbie. I hadn’t been active since pandemic so totally out of shape. I couldn’t control my body line or movement at all; sunk legs, crossover arms, over rotate torso….. however, with more pool time, yoga, and weight train my body got better. Now I can free style with much better control than ever before. The hip moving towards reaching arm is key to keep a streamlined body and ease of breathing.

So awesome to hear. Glad our videos are helping you improve your technique!

Great video! My coach was correcting this in my stroke but she phrased it differently. She told me that while I should be rotating from the hips, my feet should not be kicking side to side. Kicking side to side is a sign of over rotating and that is what I was doing.

Special thanks to the coach. After some practice, I realize this is a very useful tip for better swimming. By focusing on hip rotation, you can keep the hip and leg from sinking, and remain parallel to the surface. It is easy to implement and very effective.

This is a very difficult concept to teach, Cokie, in part because of the subtle differences involved. Most swimmers can see what a serious over-rotation looks like, but its not so easy to see the correct movement when there isn't an overt over-rotation. I suggest that perhaps you stop or dramatically slow down the video and use a voice over and a yellow or red pen and mark the area where the hips are nicely aligned vs a subtle over-rotation and give us the explanation right there along with the exact visual. Thanks for taking this on. I love watching all your videos.

exactly. from my newbie perspective this was not clear. Plus the examples shown looked the same.

@emmyin 3 месяца назад

Yeah I couldn't understand what this was about, not letting the belly button slide but ride on the hip? Can't understand..

@Vanfinity88 4 года назад

Wow, that is a nice clean pool that I always dream of.

@Alfakkin 7 лет назад

when I realized how controlling my hips was essential, few years ago, everything changed for the better...nice video

@peterkim7707 9 лет назад

Thanks very much for sharing!! This awareness has taken my freestyle to the next level!!

@nerd9992 8 лет назад

awsome instruction. thank you very much. plz keep posting.

@adamding3873 4 года назад

Just focus on the core. 1. taut core keeps a better streamline position, minimizes resistance. 2. core/hip rotation makes the arm pull more efficient: (1) hip rotation leaves room for the arm to pull in full length. (2) the arm can pull closer to the middle line of the body. if you pull from the side, the body spins and the energy is wasted. (3) like throwing a baseball, with the rotation your arm can swing with more power.

fantastic video! thank you

@dannylad1600 5 лет назад

This is a great video. The overall rhythm of your swimming is governed by the timing of your hip rotation. If you get your rhythm right, everything else should follow suit.

@Dee3917 7 лет назад

Great video & explanation. Thank u!

@Giof230 8 лет назад

Brilliant advice

@robohippy 4 года назад

First heard the 'suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine' tip here. Then saw it on a clip from Speedo, which may have been the original. Best tip for me to keep correct posture/body position when swimming, and keep legs from sinking. The body/hip rotation thing comes naturally to some...

I have no clue how I ended up at this video but watched it and found it really interesting. Giving a thumbs up and sharing on twitter

@souheil3 Год назад

You are great, that’s waht I really need to know. I will try tomorrow. The hips shouldn’t overturn. Thanks a lot

@chinhvannguyen1685 4 года назад

Nice, rotate hip is same wingchun, hip is power arm - rotation hip before pull arm

@duman7070 6 лет назад

Thank you

@theraceclub 9 лет назад

Great Video! Thanks Cokie and I must say the Swimmer in the video was exemplary!

@gybx4094 7 лет назад

Gary Hall Sr. calls it "hip driven" and it helped me use more body muscles rather than stressing the shoulder joint. (I'm older, so it was therapeutic).

@richc47us 3 года назад

At the 1:00 mark, I'm confused about too much twisting motion in your hips and over-rotating when doing Freestyle. ..."reaching my hip bone so that my belly button doesn't slide to the side". I realize the importance of over-rotating, but I need an image in my head for correcting that mistake. Thanks

@USMastersSwimming 3 года назад

Rich Coffman your follow thru should take your hand past your hip bone and when you finish your stroke that’s where the slight roll comes in. I think if you say to yourself “stretch” when your arms are extended in the front and back position you’ll start to feel it. Drills help too so check out some that we have on our channel as well.

@lennonoeliam2897 4 года назад

top of the hip bone and reach it to the other end of the pool? what the what now?

@saurabhjibhenkar4396 4 года назад

I am not able to differentiate between 'DO' and 'DON'T' Would you please make it simple for me? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@USMastersSwimming 4 года назад

We are working on it...stay tuned!

@MarijaCZadar 2 года назад

I'm having the same problem. I do see the difference, but then again, I don't (can put my finger on it).

@feimberg Год назад

Same

@robohippy 5 лет назад

Biggest difference I can see between correct and incorrect is how much your hips pivot. Too much pivot and you don't get the transfer of energy from shoulder to toe kick.
