I basically learned how to swim at age 56, almost drowned at 15 and been in trauma of water since. Got a swimming coach and after 3 months training in the pool, I was able to swim on cross-channel open water and joined in open water race competitions. Frequency in open water also helped gradually improve my water confidence. Will be doing swimming as a regular exercise as a triathlete. This video is so helpful, made the basics so clear to follow.
This is one of the best swimming videos I've ever watched...If you are new to swimming I'd recommend watching it a few hundred times and practicing the drills one at a time. Learning to swim as an adult is not easy but not impossible.. A free style snorkel will help a lot.
The no "windmilling" arms helps me tremendously. I just watched and applied it the same day and I could go from 200m to 600m without losing breath. Thank you so much! 😊
I am a national level swimmer...you are very genuine and explained everything very clearly what you know...people need a swimmer like you to explain every authentic data about every stroke your muscle memory knows
I took up swimming for exercise about 6 months ago. I've watched numerous videos on technique and this is the most succinct one I've found. Thank you for making this.
Thanks. I am a newbie. Among swimming lessons videos I have been watching, this one open up more on correcting my bad habit especially with my arm stroke and body positioning. Cheers mate
Good video, unlike many other videos you have clearly explained it. It makes things a lot clearer for me as an average swimmer. Can't wait to be in the pool to test them out. Thanks for your tips.
Frankly speaking, this is the best Freestyle video I have seen so far. It is short and right on the point. Using easier to understand language with drills. Thank you!
I am watched numerous videos as I must much... you have managed to explain/ demonstrate it far better that than any one else.. Pls help us how to be clam even in open water/deep water
being novice this is tremendous helpful for me. Thanks for sharing these very very useful, "what to do" and "what not to do technics". Big big thanks 😊
This is my favourite video on how to perform the front crawl!! Thank you so much for this. I think of this video every time I start working on my stroke. I have the music in my head! It’s brilliant!! ❤
This is great, I have watched so many videos by other instructors and this is by far the BEST, not complicated, clear and easy for someone to understand…. Thank you so much.
hey tim , you are a natural teacher and kept it really simple and intuitive ,i learned a lot and i appreciate you for this video . swimming is a serious hobby of mine and one day id like to take it to the next level, that is from the pool to the ocean. maybe if ur looking for ideas for your next instructional videos, u cud make one on open water swimming and the adjustments necessary in freestyle for that kind of aqua terrain?
Awesome video and nice demonstrations....thanks a billion...I'll work on these steps...gives me some confidence now....I think it is all in the BRAIN that we need to program /remind these instructions and then things will improve with practice...
Great video. Looks like I'm doing all of those things wrong, except for keeping the head neutral. Lots of practice ahead I think, especially on not windmilling the arms.
