The Most Important Swimming Skill

- I learned the most important swimming skill when I was 7 years old. When I started this channel at 26, I’d already forgotten how and why I learned it. I did it instinctively and trained it every day.
It wasn't until I spent years researching, reading your comments, and teaching how to swim in person that I discovered just how important this skill really is. Later on this video we will see why it is the most important swimming skill, if you need to improve it or focus on something different.

Let me tell you, im a beginner swimmer since i started in december 2021 and only swam for 3 months, stopped until last month and didnt stop since then. Nevertheless, every time i followed your advices, exercises and comments, ive always improved at least ONE bit more, and I find it fantastic, because you always hit the right key. Your clips are GOLD for me, congratulations for you ability to share and explain you knowledge and THANK YOU!! Pablo from Argentina
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's very good to hear
How is A-Aron? Is he all right? Is he improving? I miss him brother
He's working on something. Waiting for breakthroughs before we bring him back
@@SkillsNT Yay! Send him my greetings and i hope to see him soon. I have been watching lots of your videos since I discover your channel and improved a lot. Currently trying the smooth freestyle with one kick per stroke, I struggle in the coordination a little and splash too much water while kicking. Thanks a lot man! Swim Fast 🏊
Yes! Bring back A-Aron! 👍
@@SkillsNT please put the videos in Serbian subtitles.I'm struggling to translate them for myself.Thank you and big regards.
May be AI killed him😅
I am new to the sport. Used to be a runner in youth, stayed active all my life, yet haven't done much proper serious training. Am 50 years old now and only went to swim due to back injury, but found out that I really enjoy learning to swim properly (since swimming "holidays style" :-) is boring and I love challenging myself).
Just tested sitting idly, it takes 35 seconds to blow slowly out of the nose. In the pool my comfort zone is to breath every 4 strokes. I only started going to the proper training pool just over a month ago, but I've made a big progress from not being able to swim continuously for more than 25 meters (due to not knowing just how important it was to breath properly) to swimming for 2 hours with only short stops when switching from one drill onto the next and I do feel the burning muscles now instead of just running out of breath.
Thank you for all your videos, they help so very much 👍🙂
Oh man, you are a genious teacher.! You 've just confirmed some important points which i ve instinctively worked it out for myself through trying, making mistakes, reflecting on it and self correcting, and reflecting again.
This channel is liquid GOLD!
Thank you for the quality of your videos. I love swimming and I find your tips and lessons very useful.
Thank you so much for your hard work .
This has been helpful. I'll try this today.
Great video! Thanks!
Love your videos, man. You've helped me improve so much- I get compliments on my technique at the gym, like, quite often now and I'm kinda chubby- I feel like I must look competent and I owe it to practicing your tips! Thank you for your content ❤️
That's great to hear! Congratulations on your improvement!
I love your videos. Thank you.
I absolutely loved how you were evaluating your arm and hand position at the end of the video.😅 Watching your feet in the videos has helped me to relax my own feet/ankles and figure out (a little more) what’s wrong with my freestyle kick. Thank you. 🙏🏾
I thought no one would notice the end 😬🤣
i like your swimming skills I also do light classes here I have new boys to learn swimming But I teach her swimming in dasi style I learn a lot from your videos too
Great content as usual, breath control is indeed an essential part of swimming yet not taught in a way that it should be. It was always a self pick up skill of mangy young learner. Thank you to point it out with such convincing explanation! And there is somthing to share. I am practicing freestyle and backstroke together and doing LA practice which means long axis practice, combining these two strokes together at the moment, realizing that the synchronization of the feet and stroke in the period of transition from freestyle to backstroke or backward is really interesting but hard to explain. Would you be interested to make a video to uncover it?
Hi, I met you at Masters Nationals in Irvine. Thanks for the great content. Hope to see you at the next Meet.
Swimming is the best pranayama
Thank you 😊
Hi, your videos are great. I learned lots of things from them. Especially smooth arrow was a lifesaver. Nowadays ı am focusing on freestyle with dolphin kicks. Can you do a video about it with pinpointing key points of them so ı can get feedback from it. I am sure it will be useful for lots of people since this drill teaches a lot about timing and feeling the water.
Merci 👍
Hi, can I ask something? How many time per week do we have to train to be faster? . Everyday or 3 times/week
Thanks Nora from Morroco
I love swimming and do have the I-can-do-it-forever thing, whereas with running I have to stop and catch my breath very quickly. But I am SO SLOW. I got people doing the breaststroke passing me one after the other. I have checked my technique, I guess I just need to focus on moving faster.
5:14 That background shot was hilarious! 🙂 That's probably how my breakout looks sometimes.
Glad you saw that! 😂
I just tried a few times sitting here in my seat - managed to get breathing out my mouth to a minute (first try was a bit over 30s) but through my nose first try was 20 seconds, got it to 27 after two more.
So still some practice to go to increase my nose exhaling score I think.
I got 50 seconds out of the mouth and 20 seconds out of the nose. I wouldn’t exactly call myself the strongest swimmer (32 second 50m freestyle at 14), but my breathing has always been better than most people in my club. For reference the furthest I’ve swam in one breath, whilst fully submerged, is 50m.
Indeed it is 💪
I love running and was so happy I learned to breathe properly so that I can stay focused on how my legs move. Now I started attending swimming technique course and all we do is exercises for swimming, but almost everybody who I spectate including me have huge breathing troubles. I understand that without breathing I would not be able to go further, yet there is no universal way to breathe - you have to feel it yourself, that's what I've learned from running.
I also feel very uncomfortable with water in my ears, so I need to swim in earplugs. And I have no idea if i'm doing it right - does water normally go there when you turn your head to breathe in crawl?
Usually it goes in yeah. That's another thing I don't think about anymore 😯
I always swim with earplugs. Just don't like water in my ears. It's quieter in the pool, also. 🙂
I've done Wim How, I believe I can do over a minute on the first try. Will update :)
I do 1500 meter freestyle continuously through 36 minutes, then I do 1500 meters butterfly separately either 100 meter or every 50 meters then I finish in 1 hours, then I rest for 10 minutes then I do 500 meters freestyle sprinting separately every 50 meters during 25 to 30 minutes then rest 5 minutes then 500 meters butterfly every 50 meter during 40 meters and try to make sprinting/ what is your say about this schedule?? Is it good ? The whole session of swimming took about 3 hours / two times week
In the water, i forgot to kicking. Sometimes i cannot control my body. How can i manage my body easily? do you have any suggestion?
Your the Guru
I'm a half decent swimmer css 1:47, 400m (PB 6:36 @1:40) and 100m (PB 1:30). However, breathing out of my nose on dryland is extremely hard I can only manage 5 sec, but out of my mouth I can easily do 45secs. I will test this when I'm in the pool, I think the resistance of the water helps to slow down my breathing. Also for reference I normally breathe every three strikes and exhale water out of nose/mouth at the same time and I still have Soem left before turning to breathe.
Yeah exactly. Try it out and let us know.
How can I watch members only videos? I’ve already subscribed to the channel
you have to join the channel, not subscribing, meaning you have to pay a membership fee.
Moin, 48 seconds.... Thanx for this nice Video.
Whats the ideal breathing pattern for 100m freestyle?
Being a newbie I use snorkel to get form right. Even with snorkel I try to breathe the same way as if not using it. Right now it is a struggle to maintain even easy breathing while body is exerting physical energy. It just means I haven’t made swimmer breathing into DNA yet. Come to think of it, just because breathing is like sitting or standing doesn’t mean we all do it right.
Exactly! It takes time and practice. But being aware of it is something most people struggle with. Good job!
I am 40 and I just started having swimming lessons and breathing technique is the one I found difficult.
I found easier exhaling thru my mouth than nose.Any advice? Thank you.
While swimming you should exhale through the mouth
@@SkillsNT oh I see in my lessons they told me to exhale thru the nose.Thank you.
What sort of swimwear men should wear for swim? Can you please make video about it.
Tight to the skin, not super tight but the fabric shouldn't be flailing around
you said to inhale through the nose after exhaling through the mouth. Is this how we should breathe when swimming also? That is inhale through the nose?
No
done.
I'done this excersice dry after waking up.
Results-> 1:20
I got 50 seconds without the pool, though last 10 seconds I was pushing air hard from lungs and it was not so consistent
39secs
I have require Can u translated in hind
62 seconds on the first try (will update as I feel I can improve). (52y)
I don't think there is really a huge need to improve it since it looks like it is already a strength for you.
I can swim all day but running is not my skill at 40.
And this is the biggest challenge in teaching young children how to swim. A lot of them are either fearful or can’t understand why you have to have a proper breathing pattern, so the challenge is working your way around it
I think every child is different. My 6 years old is a natural swimmer, he learns really quick and never had fear of water. He was taken straight to stage 4 after I took him to the pool for a few months, teaching him the basics while I never had any swimming lessons in my life. He now has a great swimming teacher and had progressed onto stage 5, so, as an older adult I am having to keep up with him instead. I might still have more strength, but the technique is all with him. Hm... :-)
I last 1,15 secs exhaling under water .
This guy sounds like an Aaron!
Thank you❤ I learned freestyle,breaststroke and backstroke just by watching your videos in 4 months
I'm still amazed when people tell me that. But you are not the first one! Congratulations and thanks for sharing
Exhaled for 59 seconds. 71 years old
60 seconds, and then 71 s on my 2nd attempt, sitting here. Will try in water.
The exercise at the end is not for the average person..
The average person will probably last 2 or 3 seconds. That's ok
I can run 120 k. But still not relax in water.phsycology also important.
Very true
One thing that drastically reduced my fear of water is constantly blowing out air while getting my head in and out of the water.
What if you have a lot of muscles which needs large volumes of oxygen?
45 sec out of nose, only 25 secs out of mouth. I'm a beginner swimmer still learning how to breathe properly but can happily run 5 miles
Please put an Arabic transfer
I did 27 seconds, but it took me about 12 attempts
I have more muscle than my colleagues. I don't know but even me being more fast... I need rest more than them. 🥺🥺🥺
Hmm. got me thinking, again.... This channel is really good for that.
For the long exhale, one critical component is your lung capacity. This makes me wonder if swimmers have a larger than normal lung capacity. I do know mine is some where, according to the doctors, between 'at least double capacity' to 'you are totally off the charts.'
As for aerobic conditioning, if you are in good aerobic condition, and you switch or pick up a new sport, while your body is not in 'condition' for that sport, you will get into good condition faster than some one who is starting from scratch. I would guess that the reconditioning would be more for running to swimming than for running to biking, but not positive.
I need a schedule to be like Olympic or sub Olympic
It's always annoyed me when people tell me theyre no good at swimming because their body is too dense so they sink... you got 2 huge sacs of air in your chest! keep em full! you can also tell people who aren't comfortable in the water by the way they tread water- novice swimmers will keep their mouth and nose above the water all the time, burning up energy trading hard. Someone 100% comfortable will take a deep breath and chill low in the water maybe sculling a little, and pop up every so often to get a fresh breath
Hi ,I actually took swimming class for 4 months and I had pneumonia..I suffered with lot of cough..so I left swimming.But I really like swimming..Can anyone let me know..how to learn swimming and not get any Lung infection ,Pneumoniacough,cold..Please.

🌺🌸💐🌹
Like your fantastic swimming channel.....I found out fitness channel Jeremy ethier
That is actually my problem now is breathing
Много воды
Почему ты пишешь по-русски на английский channel?
I’ll keep it simple for you guys that are struggling because you didnt swim like this guy at a young age. Swimming is not natural for humans thats why even yoga practitioner who has good breath control even struggle learning how to swim.
Theres also this thing called said principles. Of course you are short of breath when doing running because you trained most of your life swimming. Common sense really.
比技术更基本的东西： 控制呼吸。
Why is the word dislocation added. I watched the body language in this and was distressed by what I percieved as a very subtle almost subliminal message watch his hands. If you read this .... can you help me by answering. Im concerned by this.
You talk too much! You took 3 minutes to explain that you want to talk about breathing technique. You said blah blah blah about how certain things are boring but you created 3 minutes that were boring. Just get to the point when you make your videos. In stead of explaining in circles like thought 20 minute long fitness ads that don’t teach you anything unless you pay
I also can perform long and fast in water, and I'm a poor runner. I indeed believe that it is linked to the way I'm breathing 👍 Water also regulates my body temperature greatly during a maintained intense effort 🌡️🥵✅
How are you not getting tan/dark while I swam for few months and become significantly darker 🥲
His pool is indoors I think
