Freestyle Tri Swim Club
United States
Приєднався 6 лип 2021
The Freestyle Tri Swim Club is the latest branch of work with Freestyle Tri. As ex-college swimmers turned triathletes, we understand the natural fear and intimidation around swimming, but also recognize the joy and beauty of total immersion in a body of water. We built the Freestyle Tri Swim Club to help educate and show how swimming can be a wonderful thing for anyone with the desire to learn and improve.

Bubble-arm Breathe-arm – swim drill for correct breathing technique
Bubble-arm Breathe-arm is a great drill for beginner swimmers just getting acclimated to the water or those learning correct breathing technique. Do this drill by blowing bubbles during one stroke and taking a breath during the breathe-arm stroke. Same as any practice, deliberate intention is the main goal.

REDUCE SLIPPING DURING FREESTYLE - how to feel the water during the catch
Переглядів 88 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, we work with an exceptional female swimmer with ambitions of getting her speed back to a comfortable 1:20 per 100yds. She's been swimming with some of the best swim coaches (Steve Haufler with GoSwim) since her youth, and has fantastic technique to show for it, but feels she's lost touch with small aspects of her freestyle - perhaps not pulling as much water as she used to. So, f...
HOW TO PULL MORE WATER - drills and technique tips for faster swimming
Переглядів 60 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, we take a look at a beginner triathlete that's been swimming his whole life without competition or formal instruction. As you'll see, he has a good stroke and stays relaxed in the water. The "feel for the water" is there, so we're nitpicking to find a few ways to get faster. We cover: 1. strengthening the body position 2. accessing more water on the catch 3. tightening up the kic...

Two words: BODY POSITION. If we can flatten and lengthen our position in the water without compromise, we'll be able to drastically improve efficiency and focus on getting a better feel for the water; the #1 way to impr...
SWIM LESSONS FOR AN IRONMAN - how to swim straight
Переглядів 39 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, we look at a tested Ironman athlete to diagnose a couple issues that might lead to the lack of ability to swim in a straight line in open water. We also need to figure out how to divert the energy being used to stay stable into power in the stroke. So, in this video we look at two holistic things: 1) head position 2) stroke symmetry - the ability to sync both sides of you freesty...
3 TIPS TO PULL MORE WATER - are your arms slipping?
Переглядів 383 тис.3 роки тому
In our latest swim analysis, we brought in a fellow masters swimmer who moves through the water quickly by spinning her arms fast. The goal here was to look critically at what was preventing an optimized pull. We narrowed this down to 3 things: 1) front end / catch - get your fingertips pointed down ASAP 2) back end / finish - move water past your hips 3) hip rotation - get on your side in one ...

Переглядів 19 тис.3 роки тому
This video kicks off the backyard swim lab, hosted by Jenna and Miguel @ Freestyle Tri. Today we had a 60 year-old swimmer come in looking to improve efficiency with limited mobility (from past shoulder reconstruction). Impressively, the "pre-covid benchmark" for this swimmer is around 1:20-1:30 per 100yd pace, and we chatted about many things we can work on in his stroke to get him back and be...
