Why You Can't Swim Front Quadrant Freestyle 

Did you find this helpful? Do you think you're front quadrant? Comment below and please share this video!

Really helpful for a Rookie (64 year old) new to freestyle, and swimming. Great, clear detailed analysis. Best description I've come across so far.

Best stroke mechanics videos anywhere. I've watched many--the good, bad, the ugly. I resumed swimming 6 months ago after a nearly 10 year hiatus (bike racing, where I was avoiding upper body weight.) These vids have really helped me dial back into form, increase speed and efficiency, and most importantly helped me re-love swimming! I've seen real improvement by implementing your advice. Moving through the water a lot faster with less effort. GREAT instruction and visualizations. THANKS!

Eye opening explanation, I think it's finally clicked, great video.

Awesome video! So well explained. The only reason I understand it is because I have started doing it. It took me three years of swimming.I came to the conclusion that there is no shortcut. Swimming with intention as often as possible is the only way to acquire that technique.

you're really helping me improve my swimming techniques. Thank you so much

Thanks for the videos. I started swimming 5 years ago. Only 25 meters huffing & puffing. Now swim a few kilometers but want to get more efficient. I like the explanations with the recorded swimmers. I need to work on the slight rotation of body and extension. Want to swim greater distances without stopping. You have the best info. Thanks.

New to swimming as I committed myself to a triathlon recently. I find swimming is like golf. I go to the pool and struggle to go more than 50m without a break. I come home discouraged. I watch RU-vid and find these helpful tips. I'm excited to try them out and return to the pool. Said tips are helpful but I continue to struggle. I leave discouraged. The cycle repeats!

I didn't understand why I couldn't let my front hand without pressing down while breathing. The answer is I'm over rotating, and I think I really am. Thank you very much. You are the best.

Grazie Coach! Very helpfull video and explanation.. The swiss swimmer🇨🇭

Best swimming youtuber ever!!!!!! so many details are explicit!

Comme d'habitude, Brenton nous livre les meilleures informations. As usual, Brenton gives us the best informations. Wonderful.

This is exactly what I’m trying to achieve these days. The trick is also about the catch, it seems that there’s a subtle elevation on the hands after entry to align with shoulder; or else the hands will fall and too early for the catch.

Hey Guys, I was on a swim analysis yesterday as was told that the worse thing ever is to front quadrant swim and under no circumstances it should be done.

I'm so front quadrant that my coach says I'm swimming catch-up drill even when sprinting :)

Off to the pool now, gonna give it a try. Great videos, thanks.

Thanks!

Im always front quadrant except on the breath stroke. That arm that should be in front instead does the stroke too early so I can gain speed and thus take a breath... How could I fix this?

Thank you

Great! Thank you! I've always wondered about front quadrant swimming! Good to see it's true and that you can have a nice long line at end of each stroke, and a little room to recover there. Must say the footage from the front around 5:40 is really, really good at showing that. It seems to me it shows everything you need to know! if the front quadrant is right, that helps with timing of shoulder and hip rotation (where I seem to have the most trouble). Also, I appreciated the comments about glide and that it's just a nuance to keep in mind. No, it's not glide in the sense of stopping the stroke but it is the perception of slowing the stroke down when extending at the top of it (and not for racing, etc). The 'glide' is the really enjoyable part of it- I think- like in rowing. Glad it's also in swimming- yay! If I"m not swimming in the front quadrant already, I sure will be! Thank you thank you thank you!.

Just described my swimming! Lots here for me!

Amazing information from a top and talented coach...thank you so much for sharing

Great drills.

Good video! It combines many important tips from the previous videos. I've tried to swim front quadrant and I feel like it helped to make swimming more effortless.

Brilliant explanation. Late swimmer , following your videos to improve my freestyle . Indeed there are so many nuances and all of them need to come together . I think I am making improvements slowly but will be there .

It is tough to change! But thank you. Will work on it.

Excellent..gonna try it right now actually...thx coach

You are the best!

His swimming while doing drill is faster than me😄

extremely helpful video, one of the best i have seen

This is so informative. Thank you so much!

Very detailed.Thank you. I will try these steps and let you know.

looked like a modified catch up drill. BTW, your videos has really improved my stroke....keep em coming.

Great video and explanation

Thank you for this video and all your other videos. VERY helpful! Subscribing now.

Thank you very much!! Very helpful !

Whoa look at that massive watch at 2:15! It’s like Apple Watch 0.0!

Good things to think about to help me not have that treadmill heavy breathing feel. My kids and I will work on our reaching and extending today 🏊 thanks

Thanks for your sharing

Great tip and advice i practiced that tjanks greettings from México

Thanks! Very helpful explanation!

how do you breath with your head still in the water.....

I like front quadrant swimming but I cannot say that front quadrant swimming is the best or only way to swim freestyle.

Really great tips thanks.

There is no front quadrant in backstroke. Why?

So I’m a fairly new swimmer I mean I’ve only recently started to actually practice because I want to be able to do 500 meters in a few months for something I want to do. At the start I’ve always gassed out after just a short distance. I’m on day 7 and breathing feels natural now as opposed to the first time I can last 50 meters but I’m tired. I’m not sure if it’s a combination of my cardio overall not being that great since I haven’t done much in years due to strength training and my technique still be not that great. I’ve had an instructor watch but he says my body position is good my strokes are good at least by his standard for a life guard on the swim team but I do kick a lot which I can’t seem to slow down.

Where are you swimming ? Is that a montain ?

I am trying to create a triangle with the arm (shoulder, elbow, hand) above water so the fingers enter first. But I think I am doing it wrong because after a few weeks, my left shoulder is starting to hurt. Like I am forcing the triangle. Any suggestions?

I'm afraid I will have paralysis by analysis - that's what has happened in skiing, tennis, golf.

This is very helpful, thank you! Is that tan lines on your nose?

As much as I understand We are trying to do ''Quadrant Freestyle'' but also We want to increase the stroke rate how can they be possible together ?

I wonder why some distance swimmers aren't front quadrant?

I feel like when I leave my arm out like that my breathing side and non-breathing side stroke at different rates, I’ve taken a video and this confirmed what it thought but I’m not quite sure how to fix this

👍👍👍

He rotates a little more on his left side.

What is shoulder depth?
