Activating the glutes and hams means they need to be adequately firing and have functional ROM. Be sure that DEEP extensive stretching is not just coming from a foam roller, but from effective techniques to not create hypertonic glutes after one or two practices. Multitudes of swimmers start from a dysfunctional hip imbalance developed as a compensatory solution to weak and unstable hip joints (especially when young). Then you'll get more technique correction results.
I've told too many swimming teachers that something had to be wrong with my technic. You just nailed it. I don't even have to try to know that's the problem. And BTW, I'm a mountain biker.
I took swimming lessons as a kid, and the teacher emphasized kicking from the hips instead of the knees. This video explains what the teacher was trying to explain.
Yes, our instructor always told us to keep our hips up at the surface in backstroke, or our butt at the surface in freestyle. I always thought it was to help us keep afloat better, but b turns out they were after this kick fix.
@@user-fq3lk5se6p I really need someone to teach me. I can swim and probably enough to get myself out of trouble but I really want to be able to do this long, lazy swim that you can go for miles on
It looks effortless because they probably trained for hours on how to perfect their techniques. This is only the end result, and no doubt with practice you can swim as "effortlessly" as they do as well. I remember struggling so much with my kicks (though that was with breaststroke) and being amazed at how easy the coaches could do it, but after a lot of practice, I was able to kick well and now it's almost muscle memory. I believe in you, you can do it!!
This is the best explained and effective advice concerning the sinking legs problem. I came to the same solution after a long time of trial and error. Another way to articulate the solution is imagine the surface of the water as wall. When standing against the wall the body needs to engage the core to make sure the upper back, the butt and the back of the feet touch the wall. This in effect says a good standing posture means good swimming posture too.
The least amount of effort is only kicking gently, with the only real flexing joint being the ankle. Using the feet like flippers. Pointing the toes, keeping the streamlined shape through the hips and knees. As an Aussie, our best swimmers seem to move through water almost lazily. Only a few kicks per stroke of the arms. The key is not having your legs fighting against your arms but gently working in unison with them.
I imagine my body like a fish, nothing big or contradictory to the flow of water. It felt weird at first as if I wasn’t exercising hard. I guess this is why swimming is such a good reset or cross training. I had to let go of dry land movement to be able to work with water.

I tried this today in training. It was the best tip ever, I never felt so high in the water.
The other “half” of the solution to sinking knees or legs is activating your core. Activate your core by Raising your bellybutton towards the surface and you will see an immediate change in your body’s position in relation to the waters surface.
I agree with that, most of the leg work will start from the core. Also, you should see your legs as fins (smooth bending and coordination), after all you are not on the ground
This was the right video at the right time for me. I am a pretty slow lap swimmer, for I think exactly this reason. Glutes and back side of legs are not areas I am normally very aware of. A few comments have asked what it means to 'activate' to me the answer is, to start with at least, simply keeping those areas of the body in mind for a bit while you swim. Just doing that, without necessarily 'engaging', helps. Then once you develop an awareness of their very existence, you can gently engage, or activate, and with a bit of time notice a difference. I shaved 4 mins off my mile time today thanks to getting more horizontal. Thanks for this, good work.
I’m just an age group coach In my experience, I gave couple of glute activation exercises with free pull and swim; the results were ok But when I paired plank, side plank with free pull (pull boy on ankles), the results were actually amazing with really high body position
Can you explain the plank and side plank in the water exercises a bit more in detail? A bit unsure how to do those in the water, or maybe the plank/side plank are dry land exercises? I already do a small exercise with a pull buoy between the ankles and freestyle pull for core activation and balance.
@@henriki8015 I'm still developing and refining it but. What I do is 10 sec of plank and 10 sec of side plank (each side) and immediately after finishing the plank jump in the pool and do 50m pull with pull boy in ankle and after pull do 50m swim where you visualize your feet being up on the surface. Repeat that 6 times or more. I usually give this set in warm up. typically you'll get results after 3 weeks. Yes it's mix of dryland and drills and swim.
But the pullboy remedies the lacking glute/hamstring activation, so it is not surprising that you get more success with the planks + pullboy. I didn't know I had hamstrings until I did kettlebell swings. So I can recommend the swings for finding and training them.
Interesting! This is exactly the same in horseback riding. It gives a lot more stability and longer feeling to the legs together with the core muscles… I teach this everyday to my students and the results are almost immediate. This video might help me explain better the reason “why” and the examples you showed were also very clear. Thank you!
I tried this today and it works. My speed increased and number of strokes per length decreased. Sometimes my core was too loose (especially when breathing) and my legs were too tight - I need to practice more and find the balance. Thanks again. 🙂
I watched this last night and couldn’t wait to try it in the pool today. I felt so much faster and swimming felt so much easier. I only learned to swim last summer, and I appreciate all these tips. Thank you.
I didn't even knew this. I started learning swimming 2 days ago and i have severe aquaphobia. I saw olympic gold medalist swim in a documentary for in his home swimming pool and one thing i noticed was he barely bent his knees. Almost like his legs were straight and second thing i noticed was he didn't splash water with his hands. It was like he is stretching in water and he just looked so effortless. I just hope maybe i can swim like that. Not fast or anything just the smoothness of the way he swam.
Swimming, yoga, cycling. Weight training will be added as I age. But, for now those three work very well. First off I'm not a recreational cyclist. Cycling for me is so I can cut my car usage. Utility cyclist. Takes me 10 weeks before refilling. Yoga is 5-6 times weekly as my partner is a yoga teacher and I go to all her classes. Swimming is between 80 to 120 laps 3x per week. A combination of three breast stoke warm ups. Then 15 freestyle. Then one breaststroke. 15 freestyle. One breaststroke, etc. Taught myself 3 count strokes to breathe from both sides. My swimming has improved greatly over the years from videos, tips from lifeguards, other swimmers and my own body awareness. Still can't do a flip turn, but thats ok. lol These videos are the best. I've picked up a few things and had alot confirmed, too. If you haven't subscribed? Do it. You won't be sorry. Cheers.
I have weak glutes and hamstrings, due to anterior pelvic tilt and constant sitting, resulting in very tight hip flexors. This video made me look into strengthening my glutes and hamstrings with weight lifting. Stretches for improved flexibility and work on joint mobility.
I swam competitively (somewhat pooly, lol) in high school. I wish I had these tips about 40 years ago! Very well explained from the perspective of reducing drag. 😄👍✌
This is good. I knew not to drop my knees, I’ve swam thousands of miles, but I want to see if I can improve that little bit more. The next time I swim is Wednesday.
As a former professional swimming athlete, I can tell ya this video is quite accurate. We dont really good at explain how to swim faster, its just in our blood.
Working on the "hollow body" abs exercise, gluteus bridge and stretching the quads(foot to the glute) in a lunge position like footballers do will help any amateur swimmer to solve that issue.
I'm a child swimmer from Indonesia, very good video, I don't know or maybe I'm too early to follow the advice in this video, but I'm sure it will be useful for me, thank you
One thing I have realised that no UA-cam videos gonna help you in learning swimming. Because the moment you put your feet on swimming pool you tend to forget every tips from UA-cam.
This raises a question for me. You have to flex a bit at the hip in order to get the lower leg into a slight angle so you can get some thrust on the front side. Just how much flex at the hip seems to be the question. If every thing is coming from the hip down, with no flexing at the hip, you don't get much thrust, no matter how flexible your ankles are. Surely you don't need as much flex as is used with the dolphin kick. Also, when they say the kick does not come from the knee, that makes me think the comment is aimed for those who try to use a scissor kick, which comes way out to the side. With back stroke, that does come more from the knee, at least as near as I can tell. The problem most have with back stroke flutter kick is they try to do it the same way you do freestyle flutter kick. That is why knees tend to come up out of the water for those learning the back stroke. Heel and lower leg don't create as much drag as your thigh does, so less flexing at the hips, and more flexing at the knee. I never seem to have foot/lower body position problems. Probably from my days as a gymnast where straight body line was essential for doing a hand stand and swinging around the horizontal bar. Suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine... Best advice ever. Primary thing that does is keep your back straight.
I remember having problems keeping my legs under the water while snorkeling. Fins don't work very well out of the water. Of course that wasn't a problem while SCUBA diving.
I learnt swimming naturally in my village ponds and canals. Seriously I don't know there are technique for a effortless swim. I learnt by directly jumping into water.
Once upon a time, when I was in a school swimming competition, I discovered swimming wasn't my thing when for some odd reason I couldn't keep to my lane, swam left across other lanes and smacked my head in the wall. Never tried swimming in front of people ever again lol
Finally got the tip I needed. Thanks. The another problem I face is timing the breathing. I used to hold my breath. (Mainly due to improper technique, I would sink) I could not tell whether any changes I made with my technique made any difference or not. Since I have respiratory problem, I feel more comfortable with backstroke.
You should be breathing out in the water between breaths (blowing bubbles) also when you first starts swimming it's totally normal to have to take multiple breaths at a time until you build up your breath control and swimming efficiency I would just work on sidekick (with mouth out of the water, Google it) to practice frontcrawl breathing, then when you need to breathe when swimming on your front you turn to sidekick, gradually you reduce your breathing down so that you only take 1 breath and only stay in sidekick for a second Normally swimmers breath every 3 strokes in front crawl
I will mention another way to achieve maximum performance. *Try to have your bottom outside the water.* It is difficult in the beginning but when you achieve it (after weeks or months of training, depending your level) you will see how much faster you swim.
My sister was diving athlete with multiple medals. My body was natural born swimmer. My feet is very wide and streamlined. But idk why, I cant swim. Heck cant even keep head above water. Idk why but i cant float on water even if trying
I've always used a kickless style of front crawl I was always the fastest swimmer at the inter school swim races when I was younger. recently some famous swimmer uses my style, I'm older it's my style 😎, and I'm like told you to all my friends lol
Can you make some videos on how to tread water? egg beater kick is very difficult for begginers is there any other way that can keep you vertical in water for 5 minutes with minimal effort?
I had the same issue as a swimming learner. my lower body tends to sink quicker and I find myself struggling to maintain my position of paddling stronger and rotate my body . I end up with hung strings exhausted or cramps .
I train swimming everyday. Thankfully my coach says that I have a good stream like. And also with the pull boi he gives us 500m aka 20 laps easy. Easy means slow.
I swam since I was 4 to 14 won a lot of competitions,swimming with this style and the trainer kept telling me I was not using my legs properly. Glad I trusted My instinct and never "corrected" it.
This is amazing and great - I tried this, and found it very effective almost immediately. And if you can come with drills to activate necessary muscles better, it'd be really appreciated too. In my case, it took me couple of 25m to get used to the movement - after that, my lap per 100m improved by 10sec (I am a slow beginner, used to be 2:00/100m for endurance swims) with much less fatigue.

Best swimming teacher is a former swimmer who was at least on your level. If he’s not, leave him
Sitting too much makes these muscles too tight and short. So that may be an issue too plus the activation.
The only thing wrong with your "technic" is the "technique" and none have to be your teacher or youtuber to know that.🤗😇

Another reason for the legs dropping is swimming with an extended neck, looking forward.Gotta face the floor.
Great video! Kudos; question to y’all how to fit swimming goggles? Do they all leak which ones are best? Thank you
Thank you
i'm just beginner :D
FANTASTIC! this is one of my hard mistakes
I train swimming everyday. Thankfully my coach says that I have a good stream like. And also with the pull boi he gives us 500m aka 20 laps easy. Easy means slow.
In short: The trick is, you have to dive to the ground but don't.
This immediately lifts the legs.

Glad I trusted My instinct and never "corrected" it.
Thanks 👍🏼
This is simply Brill!
Thank you 🙏
The trick is to have a part of your hips (usually 1/3rd) above water which is very difficult. But that is how professionals swim.
Mine is definitely not knowing how to swim. But, I counter it by not going in bodies of water....
Thanks
This sounds interesting. I'll try it next time I go swimming.
