This video won't make you swim faster 

I’m trying to build my endurance to swim 500 meters and then a mile. Some more videos on building endurance for beginners would really be appreciated. How to breath when resting between laps. How to swim to conserve energy. How to do flips in shallow pool. How often should you practice in a week. Would really be helpful to me

I’m a former college swimmer and currently a coach, been watching for a few years now, and I use your videos to show the kids in my practices. So yes, very helpful👍

I discovered your channel almost six months ago, but since then I've "fallen in love" looking at your sinuous and hypnotic strokes in water: this encouraged me to re-start swimming twice a week and I am trying to put in practice your drills, although I often feel clumsy and I would need someone providing personal hints. Your weekly videos are spurring me to try re-learning swimming backstroke: it is a stroke I quitted swimming after learning freestyle, many years ago. I have still a lot to practice before doing it decently, but I am resolute to improve it: it is one of my goals for the next season. This year I have improved my freestyle endurance a lot: 1.5 hour almost no-stop. I am trying to improve my stroke-per-length count: every time I enter in the pool I feel it will succeed, soon! Thanks a lot for inspiring!

We really apologize for not commenting that much although we do watch your videos often, I am an amateur and I learned useful tricks from your channel. Many thanks for your work.

I`ve been whatching your vídeos for about a year and a half and it has been an inspiration and also it enabled me to realy improve my technic. Sometimes even whatch them over and over again. Thank you so much.

I have been swimming for 14 years and your videos are great to understand techniques better when you have done them in the water in practice.

Hello from Brazil, I learned how to swim basically watching your vídeos! I started not knowing how to do bubbles, breath or stay in streamline; and now, 1year later, I can swim well the 4 styles! Thanks for helpping and motivating me and others

Ustedes me ayudaron en todo, entre a nadar hace 2 años y la verdad no aguantaba ni 1000m nadando pero sus videos, su pasión por el deporte, de alguna manera tambien me contagiaron esa pasión. Hoy en día puedo decir que nado 3000m sin problemas. Graciass de verdad sigan así, sus videos me han ayudado en mucho

Your video on the danger of shallow pools was great.In the summer I have a shallow plastic pool,and I didn't understand why I would feel dizzy and faint a lot. I was practicing without lifting my head to breathe very often as I felt fine underwater. That video may have saved my life. Thank you

I must say that your channel really motivates me and also helps me with technique! Every time I watch something I just wanna jump into the pool and try it by myself! Thank you and congrats for this wonderful job!

Hi I am a 37 old ladies that have decided to learn to swim and your videos have taught me to improve my swimming and also inspires me to get better.

Your videos really helped me swim better, to improve my technique,and speed too. When I see the blue water on your pool I become very motivated to go to the pool too...so I think your channel is reaching its goal! Thanks for everything!!

Hey ur videos helped me swim faster. But I have another doubt is straight arm push better for Sprint freestyle or bending better?

One year ago I was literally watching every video about butterfly swimming and to be honest that was inspiring and one of the most exciting phases in my life. I watched the videos in slower speed and observe the different body position and movement to learn. As soon as the video ends, I’m again motivated to jump in the swimming pool and start revising and improve. Can’t thank you enough! I apologize for not commenting on the way. Support from Taiwan!!

I just discovered your channel. I am learning how to swim and your videos are high quality! I train several times a week, have a coach and keep learning on Internet after the training. Right after posting this comment I'm going to train, especially the horizontal posture. Thank you!

Todos tus videos los veo y los llevo a la practica.llevo un año aprendiendo a nadar puedo decirte que me han servido bastante.gracias por compartir

Hace casi ya un año me encontré con este canal, porque tenía ganas de conocer más sobre la natación y aprender técnicas para masomenos orientarme o aprender, y hace 6 meses empecé a practicar el deporte, siento que sin duda alguna me ha servido bastante ver los vídeos que suben, ya que me hacen sentir motivado, además que siento que he aprendido más sobre la técnica viendo los vídeos que cuando mis entrenadores me las han explicado 😅, además que se me facilita aprender nuevas disciplinas o me adapto muy rápido, este canal es el único por el que estoy al pendiente cada que sube vídeos (ademas del que está en español), en verdad ha sido de gran ayuda y se agradece

Your videos have helped by teaching me the smaller skills, building confidence and motivation and helping me remember to think about what I’m doing while swimming. Love your videos!!!

I honestly don't use too many of your tips because I am on a daily team with a coach (but when I do they are very helpful), but I really enjoy your motivational videos. They really help me out!

I have health issues and was unable to swim farther than 25m without feeling like I may pass out from shortness of breath. I was determined to improve my health, so I signed up for swim lessons. Overtime I was able to swim a bit further but my technique was bad. I started watching your videos and practicing what you suggested 3x a week - religiously. It’s been 15 months and I can now swim 1500m in an hour and I’m still improving and gaining strength and endurance. I’ve lost 20lbs and have improved health. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I greatly appreciate your videos.

I have been watching ur videos from a month and I learnt a lot from u and I improved my swimming skills from u

It was so nice to watch your videos like everyday. These days you don't post a lot as you did in the past. I think you might be spending your time for new challenges at the moment. I hope things work out best for you wherever you are or whatever you do. Happy new year♡

Yes I have learned to swim in the last 2 years and I watch you videos to get tips and ideas to aid me along the way......especially breathing which I have found the most difficult. So thank you for all your help and advice......it really has help me improve.

yeah your videos really are inspiring! what I like about them is that you deliver your ideas in a casual, accessible way. What I don’t quite like (and that’s my problem, and mine alone :D) is the slogan “Swim fast!”. Dunno why, it just doesn’t feel right... to me anyway 😬 Otherwise great channel, I’ve been doing swimming for about half a year now, and have mastered my freestyle only recently. Thanks to your videos, esp. the ones with workouts and stretches, they really boosted my own warm-up and stretching routines. So keep it up folks! Looking forward to further content

I am the leader of swimming in Korea. Korea has a high swimming population but still tends to teach swimming in an unscientific way. So I study and research and try to teach comfortable swimming, efficient swimming. Your videos are helping me to make an ideal swim. Ideal swimming I think is logic, training, and proof. I would appreciate your steady upload. I do not speak English, so I make comments with translator. I do not know if the translation worked well.

I really like your channel and the way you explain everything has helped me a lot, for example the "physics of swimming" videos. Sadly I am one of those people that can't do things without knowing the reason why and you are one of the few channels that care to explain. Thank you for helping me so much!

Yes thank you .. i tried a lot some of the drills are so hard but i practice every day though not too much bcoz of my college studies but yes i regularly practice and i have improved i feel .Those videos have inspired as well as guided me . Awesome initiative thanks to your whole team for making such explicit videos.. Looking forward to more of them.. from India

This channel has been VERY helpful. My breaststroke has improved remarkably and is now my favorite way to swim. So thankful for your work.

We are really sorry for not commenting tht often. But trust me your videos are not only educational but motivational too. I enjoy watching them and saw how you people have made fun out of something boring i.e routine practise. This video shows how genuinely you like to reach out and help people like me. I admire your intentions. I amatuer swimmer but after initial phase of learning strokes i got bored and busy in my work routine. Your vdos motivated me to restart my swiming practise. Thank you ... Again.

I used to be fit, but lost 12 years to significant injuries and ill health. I wont bore you with the details. Coming out the other side after 2 open heart ops., I felt I had to get into swimming (cleared through my cardiologists) to gain control of my heart. Your videos have helped me do that in many ways. Every time I get in the pool, it is exciting, interesting and challenging. And to improve, I have changed my dry land exercises and stretching. Your videos have been and continue to be a significant part of my recovery. My goal was to get back to sub 1:00 100M long course. Yes I'm delusional, 40 years places my body in a very different place. Where did the strength go? Don't talk to me about swimming endurance. Does anyone else get the chills when pushing yourself in the pool? Thank you again for the inspirational help.

Dont worry, watching your skillfull videos is part of the learning process. Neurology teaches us, that we all harbour mirror neurons in our brain. And mirror neurons love watching and feeling they are part of the business. Watching, rembering, feeling and practicing are just part of embracing a new task. Thanks for sharing your beautiful knowledge.

I figured out your channel 8 month ago and I was amazed. I learn so so much from your video, the swimming detail, the knowledge about building muscle and many many more tips and tutorials that is extremely helpful for my swimming progress. I appreciate the hard working and enthusiastic job you're done in each videos by watching all your videos, contribute Vietnamese subtitle for some videos (now I am busy or lazy 😖, sorry about that). If you could do more about common fault in swimming (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and especially butterfly), I would appreciate. And more butterfly drills too, hihi😊😊😊. One more thing... I watch your video before go to swim to make sure I am training in a good way.

I am a non-competitive, adult swimmer, working on self improvement in an area without a masters program or coaches. Your videos provide tips and drills to help me improve my stroke technique as I work toward my goal of participating in a swim competition. I’m recently recovered from a broken elbow, preparing to begin swimming today, hoping to be able to swim a 2K July 15. I’ll be looking to your videos for inspiration because it usually takes me 3 times longer to back to where I’d been swimming, after I’ve been out for a while.

You're right. Your videos don't improve our time but they motivate us to swim faster, better, harder,... we learn new drills so they actually improve our time 😁 Please keep doing videos !!! My favorite is "Swimming is like flying" cuz I rly understand those feeling 🔥🔥

Hi, first of all i want to thank you for all of your videos that you have shared with us and say that you are doing amazing job and if you ever feel like giving up, please dont forget why you have started. For me it was at a start of collage 3 years back when I was 20 years old with 115 Kg weigh with absolutely no idea of swiming and only PE lesson that i had time during semester was for swimming. At start I couldnt even swim 100 meters . As a time past i developed a habit that becomes a passion and feels like a drug to me. Now i swim 6 times a week (50min practise+/-) and i couldnt feel better about my self. I want you to know that you have made a better man of me and with your help i could become a someone else than i have been long time ago. I want you to know that behind every 6:00 AM morning practise that move me forward and sometimes drive me crazy, you have played a major part and i want you thank for it. Now i am 23 years old and regurely swim around 2km breast /free and i have managed to lower my weight with to 74kg. Once again thank you for inspiring me and giving me a passion and opening a new way of possibilties for me. Without you as my personal coach i couldnt achieve good technique, endurance and love for chlorine. Swim fast! :)

As someone who swims just for fun your videos motivate me to swim and also teach me things that I can then practice whilst swimming

Really appreciate what you doing. I do practice a lot and learn a lot from it too. Thank you

You have helped me, im getiing better, and your fly guide was amazing. I have now more than 690 fina points. 2 years ago i havent even 500. I am so thankful for you guyzz.

Yes your videos really helped me by showing me what I have to do to get a faster flip turn and get off the wall fast

Your video's have been a great help! The daily swim workouts were probably the biggest help, but they needed the motivation and tips to bring out the best. I'm on forced rest, in Italy the pools close for the summer. Looking forward to fall

Yes your videos have made me swim faster. I also learned a lot of flips, like the crossover flip and the breastroke flip.

I love your videos. They always motivate me to improve the next time I go to training. Plus, I put your advice into practice. Thank you very much.👌👌

Actually I have just started to practice swimming and I learned a lot from your channel. However I still need time to be a not bad swimmer. Thanks for your helpful videos and I hope that I will learn more from your next one .

I do watch and then try to apply the changes. Some more successfully than others. My main problem is the try to focus on a limited number of changes and try to see if those do improve my endurance and/or speed. I also do this with the help of my swimming coach who is more than happy to see if those changes do make a difference. Please keep them coming.

I liked swimming when I was young but I didn't have the chance to practice it by chance at the age of forty I started to learn swimming but as an adult coaches don't focus with you I took level one with a coach and started to ptactice with you everything breathing, strokes, kicks, body positions , posture in all swimming types freestyle , back swimming breast and butterfly everytime I had the chance to stay at the pool I stay I learned swimming by my self of course with your great help now I am learning my child how to swim and with all proud and happiness I am a lifeguard now at the age of 45 . I thank you again and I consist that you're doing a great job so keep up and I am sure that I'm not the only one who gets the benefits from your vlogs your techniques video were the most important made me learn fast I was writing your workouts on papers and take them with me to the pool I still do that till now and train it was very hard at the beginning but it changed my swimming alot . These days I m focusing on butterfly workouts and still swimming watching your videos with a lot of concern Sorry for writing such a long comment but I hope you do like my story.

I use your tips about the details in practice and than made me more focus on the small things that need improvement. Also your mentally tips are quite useful especially if you are a competitive swimmer.

Your videos are very informative and I'm really glad that you organized some of them sequentially in a playlist in order of most basic and fundamental to more complex skills. Even though I've been swimming since I was a kid through the typical swim lessons offered in my city and have swam in a Masters club for a couple years, I haven't reached the competitive level I want to compete at and your videos along with other successful swim channels on youtube are gradually helping me get there. I just wish I wasn't held back by my annoying shoulder injury but at least it's just impingement and a partial tear and nothing severe. Despite not being able to swim yet, or at least I haven't yet because I am being cautious with my injury, I'm still doing a lot of stroke technique research on youtube and am still passionate about the sport. So to conclude, thank you for helping me keep motivated with your guys' impressive skill and talent for the sport!

Your videos are so useful for me , i learn many little things and it will i improve in my stroke, keep making vidoes

I feel totally motivated. And these videos of yours encourage me todo it more effectively.

Yes, yours videos give me motivation. Very often, I like to reviews one of them before going to swim in order have something to work on the session. This morning, it was just motivation. Hey, I swam 3.5 km. Thanks and have good days.

Sus videos son geniales. Si bien, como dices, con sólo ver videos en RU-vid no se aprende, al menos he aprendido muchos tips de natación que me han sido de bastante utilidad en el poco tiempo que llevo en este deporte. Han sido una fuente de motivación a seguir mejorando y demuestran que cualquiera puede hacerlo. Sigan con todos los consejos, advertencias, recomendaciones, regaños y todo lo que tengan por compartir que son de mucha ayuda. Thank you for helping me to swim fast! P.D. Orgullo saber que son de CUU

Your videos help me plan what I'm going to do during my next swim session

I have been watching your videos for a year or so, can't remember. I have maybe 3 others that I like. You do a good job of explaining, and have a funny sense of humor. From my days of taking Wing Chung, and Tai Chi: "Teacher, am I doing this right?" "10,000 more times." But Teacher, that is what you said last time." "Well then, 10,000 more times." Sadly for me, no one else swims the over arm side stroke any where near like I do (I will do a video on it eventually...) so I can't observe some one else swimming it, but I can watch others swim and adapt to what I am doing. Getting back into freestyle again. Maybe a video on linking the hip and shoulder rotation in freestyle. Lots of videos on the necessity of hip and shoulder rotation, but not how they link together to get you moving efficiently through the water.

thanks to all your amazing videos, they are very helpful and detailed. Keep it up

In the last couple of years, I’ve learnt to swim all five strokes (altho’ my backstroke, fly & sidestroke need a lot more work) purely from RU-vid videos including your own, and have gradually got faster using all the tips from here & similar programmes. I don’t go swimming v.often and do zero cross training, but have nevertheless graduated from nearly drowning to the slow lane to middle lane to fast lane of my local pool, predicated on swim tips. I am yet to start learning the Trudgeon stroke, as I wanted to try to perfect my crawl first.

Everyday I check the youtube menu on the left looking for a blue dot on your channel to check if there is something new to see... On youtube there are plenty of swimming related channels, but most of them are dedicated to front crawl (in the anglo-saxon world called freestyle, why? :D ), but you guys are trying to cover all the main 4 swimming techniques and I must admit you are doing it pretty well. Nice videos and a lot of useful materials (strength training and anatomy related videos are great) and tips for improving our swim techniques. Keep the nice work. Thanks and greetings from Croatia!

Of course ! Your videos have helped me immensely. (Please don't say that you are going to stop making videos or I will cry.:() I started learning to swim 3 months ago. I haven't been taking any group classes or anything. I get private lessons from a swim coach albeit not too often. Thus far, I have only had 9 one-hour sessions. I know how to do the breast stroke, freestyle, turbo kick, dolphin kick, and back stroke. I started swimming in the deep end a month ago. In my opinion, I have learned fast. I could never have magined myself as a confident swimmer and having these skills several months ago. I feel so free in the water. It has changed my life completely.I watched a lot of your videos many times because I needed technical swimming instructions and modeling of the strokes and kicks. Your videos were like having a friendly swimming buddy (since it can be lonely learning to swim by oneself every day), giving easy to understand instructions (your voice is calm, kind,and you speak slowly), creating a friendly atmosphere, and motivating me. At the end of the video, I always wait for you to say: SWIM FAST. I hope you continue to make more videos. This video here is what I really needed. Much success for your channel. Swim Fast!

Your videos have helped me improve my time by ten secs and I all ways het first now so thank u a ton

Muchas gracias por toda su dedicación y amor a todos sus subscriptores , de verdad me han a ayudado mucho a mejorar en natación y no solo como nadador también como compañero , ya que siempre que aprendo algo de ustedes , yo se los comparto a todos mis compañeros , ya que me acuerdo que ustedes digiero en un vídeo ,que las personas aprenden mas rápido y mejor cuando eso que aprendieron también se lo comparte con las demás personas. Les mando un muy fuerte abrazo y muchas bendiciones para ustedes y sus seres queridos . Gracias por todo (:

You actually motivate me and I’m a good swimmer I swam for 4 years and almost became a lifeguard

Your videos helped in motivation and also to improve technique

One of the freestyle vids made me swim so much faster I almost couldn’t handle it 🤣 trying to slow down and focus on form and breath. Just saw the 5 tips for free styling and definitely planning to apply them during my next visit to the pool at my gym.

Amigo aprendí demasiado ,gracias por tus humildes consejos .Saludos de Perú

Really enjoy watching your channel

I thank you for your video; I fund this channel about one year ago and I learned a lot following your tips, first of alla how breathing correctly in free style

Yes your videos help alot. I actually have the 1750 technique set posted at the Rec Center and use it to work on my technique.

Videos are awesome. I learned to flip turn from them!!!

I always watching your video and that's very hepful to improve my swimming skill~thank you so much your regulary update~!

I watched your video about “leg cramp “ “Swim with open or closed finger” “And about side breathing” I am working on it I hope you make a video about dolphin kick on you back without nose clips Awesome content Keep up the good work

Your videos are very usefull because i can see information for technique that may be differrent from my coaches' information

A mí me motivan para mejorar en las brazadas pero más en la patada es donde se me dificulta. Y con sus videos trato de aplicarlos por qué solo voy 2 veces a nadar

Your videos are very inspiring indeed!!!

I am a 29yr old black South African female who steered clear from the water mainly because 'duh black people don't swim' and 'duh I can't get water in my hair'. After being a 'Google swimmer' for over 3 years I decided to take the plunge, let go of my deeply ingrained stereotypes and fears and got a swim coach. It's been 8 weeks now and the only thing I can say to you is I've gone from not being able to even float in water to learning to swim freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke in 8 weeks - my coach says I'm a ''natural swimmer" and I say bulls**t. Your swimming tutorials and workouts have me looking like a boss in the pool AND I've saved a lot of money I would have spent on lessons and more coaches. Now I just have to keep getting in that pool, watching your videos and perfecting my technique. I'll try the butterfly stroke thereafter. Your passion has made me more comfortable in the water and willing to learn. Keep up the excellent work..! Love & support all the way from South Africa. :-)

Your videos helped me very much becouse I go and practise the things after I watched your videos.

Always use them..my early vertical entry has been great

Hell yeah.... I feel like I can be Michael Phelps after watching ur videos..... Though it's limited 2 d feelings only😁.....

Actually i have learned a lot from you guys really thanks for sharing your experience with other people, quickly question, i do practice and stretching in home and lately i got foaming roll i just want to know what best time to do rolling, many thanks ❤ 🎆

It is super helpful even though my boy is 12 years old . He needs to learn more endurance, power, how to take care of long distance

Hi, I do watch your videos, currently most of the video's are beyond my skill level. When I was 8 I was playing at the beach and my mom walked me out in the water and this scared me so I ran back to shore, but what I did not know was some one dug a deep hole in the sand when the tide was out and now the water covered it and I feel in. By the time I could stand back up gasping for air and trying to make my way to shore it scared me real bad. That was the beginning of being terrified of water. I stayed that way for 50 years. Last fall I got a private instructor to help get over this fear. I still struggle with jumping into water, from a standing position. I jump in like a pencil , sometimes, I remember to breath out my nose and when I do that bring back the fear of that day. Doing a vertical bob also bring the fear on. I keep trying even when I feel bad...... Can you do some video's on how to jump into the water with out going down so far along with the vertical bob. Lots of details and tip and trick would be nice. I am working on learning the front crawl. But I still need lots of good advise as I have no base line to draw from.

I have definitely improved. I need to practice a lot in order to make the exact movement, though. It's tough!!!

Can you make a video on how someone should train if they’ve been out of swimming for a long tine and want to be strong enough to get back?

Your video seems to be helpful. Keep it up

My form is better from watching your videos. I don't get injured any more. But I'm still pretty slow....someday I'll swim fast \m/

Sorry for retroposting. I’ve been wanting to comment but only recently have had the time. I’m an adult who’s been trying to learn to swim with little or no success for the past 7 years. I commented on your video 2 Reasons Why Learning to Swim is Hard. I know full well that just watching RU-vid videos isn’t enough to learn to swim or anything else. You have to go to a pool physically and put in the hard, tedious practice. One problem I have is something I call “pool anxiety”. I’ve heard of the problem of “gym anxiety” and I suspect it’s a lot like that. Swimming pools and their environment just aren’t inviting places for me. I feel self-conscious at them, especially when just about everyone but me, including children and old people, are jumping into and swimming in the deep end, and I’m flailing around clumsily in the shallow end with a buoyancy belt on. The young life guards have cold, worried, bored, or disgusted looks on their face when they even bother to glance at me. Unlike with my running, in which I feel a reasonable competence and solidarity with other runners, I just don’t feel part of the swimmer culture, the scene. Of course, this is my own problem. More videos won’t help. As for giving you feedback, I think your channel is aimed much more at people who already know how to swim and are aiming for excellence. I’m not in that class or even trying to be. I’m aiming for basic competence, and as I’ve just said, that requires some consistent real-life practice. I’ve tried finding swimming buddies, but nobody’s been interested. Lessons are a bit out of my price range. Professional psychology is much too expensive, and I reserve the right to doubt its theories. I’m not the only one. What some swimming teacher or teachers need to do is start some program that addresses the hardcore of hard cases like me. People who can’t seem to float, tread water, panic in the deep end, etc. Most of the videos just repeat each other and don’t really address our hard case problems. I’m not saying you should do this. It may not be your thing, and that’s okay. But it’d be great if there were some kind of support group for swimmer wannabes who’ve tried but haven’t succeeded. Just a thought.

I feel way more Motivated to swim now

i watch whenever i have a swim meet and other days

I get tips on how to better my form which make me swim more efficient

But the videos or for me watching some movies about swimmers inspire me to work harder.

저는 솔직히 빠르게 수영하는법을 익혔어요 많은 도움이 되었고 예전에는 수영이 힘들고 어려웠지만 지금은 남자들과 견줄수 있을만큼 빨라졌답니다 발차기 롤링 이미지트레이닝 등등등 빠른 수영을 하고싶었던 제 희망이 이루어졌어요 수영시작한지 5년 되었고 영상 보고나서 약 2년정도 시일이 걸리긴 했지만요 고마워요~♡

Your videos knowledge made swim in a more fun and efficient manner

After often watching you i learning swimming technique every day (just theory). But i have severe weakness for me. My endurance to swim is too poor. My breathe always outta control. I always practice breathing but the result are zero. Do you have a motivation or suggestions for me?

Yes,your videos really helped me!

Yes I have used your videos to learn to backstroke better

I hope you keep your promise and read my comment: Your videos are great for thinking about your own style and improve it in the next training. But I have one unanswered question (or its answered differently in different RU-vid Videos). When do I have to kick with which leg? I do one kick on the other site while pulling, then two not so powerfull kicks, so that I can start again with crossed kicking and pulling. Is it right? Or is there no such thing as wrong and right?

Great my dear friend 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Very helpful

It can be an image training , isn't it?

Genial tus videos me ayudan ah mejorat

Can you please tell me what practice should I do for 50 meter freestyle.

Hello! Can you talk about the different head positions in breaststroke? Which one of them is better? Thank you!
