There are many gold medalists in swimming, but I've never seen anyone swim as gracefully and beautifully as she does. Before going to the pool, I always watch videos of Stephanie Rice for image training. Thank you for the great videos.
She is a great swimmer thanks to you I have been able to improve my swimming styles thanks Estefani I hope to see more of your videos you are a source of inspiration
Thank you, this is a perfect video and explained well! I am trying to learn to swim. I swam 52 laps in 90 minutes before watching your video. Today I swam 55 laps in 60 minutes and was not nearly as tired as before. I finally understood what keeping your elbows up really meant and telling us to use our “lats” made all the difference in my techniques. Thank you so very much!!!❤
Ohhh that’s sooo fantastic. Well done! What a huge improvement. I’m so glad the tips were helpful and yes using your lats makes a really big difference
Thank you so much this video really helped me since I qualified for the olympics and didn't know how to swim. You are a real saver and I got a gold metal. thank u
Hi Stephanie. I've watched a lot of videos on UA-cam. This is easily the most easy to understand, I'll try to improve with your advice and become a fish like you. Thanks Mark 🎉
As for abs, as a Speedo coach said, "suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine". Less of a problem for you youngsters, and more of a problem for oldsters like me, 72... Biggest improvement in my kicking came from learning that you are supposed to go a bit pigeon toed. For those of us that have poor toe point/dorsi flesion, going 30 degrees in gives about 20 extra degrees of toe point. I also noticed that having my hand cupped like the paddle board oars, or the oars used for the facing skull row boats, will yield a bit more propulsion. Never seen that in any video. For kicking, I dropped the kick boards in favor of a snorkel. With the board you have your head too high, which makes your feet too low, and you are not learning to use the upper body rotation that you use in swimming. In the 6 beat kick, the 1 kick is the power kick that is linked to the pulling arm. The 2 and 3 kick are more like the kick board kicks, almost no hip rotation, which is why they are weaker..
Think it’s just the Aussie way of speaking, but gee you make it sound so easy! I’ve watched heaps of swim channels but they make it seem so complicated. I’ll definitely be using your tips. Thanks from a fellow Aussie. 🇦🇺 👍🏽
Dang! These are the best videos at explaining all the things I need to know!! Congrats!! I can't find anything better than this! Suggestion from a fan: I would connect more tightly your videos and your 8-week courses! You could benefit quite a bit from that!
Yes! It would give you more website visits. You have beyond excellent videos -- for real. Tying them both -- videos & 8-weeks -- will give you more website visits.
Do so, is easy, if you can. There is the for most people unknown way for get the know how it takes, and the steady effort in practice all the way to became as good. Thats actually the true way towards every greatness. Big deal is always the hard, tricky, long way to become a master.
Almost everyone out here says that you should kick from the hips but they don't specify. Now I know... down with QUADS, up with HAMSTRINGS. Just tried it out and I swear it is a game changer! It feels awesome and much easier. Thank you Stephanie.
Hi stephanie, I'm glad to see your videos. And thank you for your time Can you make video about arrow freestyle And thank you again for teaching us swimming.
Stephanie is the first woman in history to break 4:30 in 400 m long course Individual Medley - the hardest discipline. Fun fact: it earned the 400th summer Olympic medal for Australia (at Beijing Olympics)👌🙏🥂❤️
Thanks for the tips! I don’t swim freestyle the most as I struggle to a length without taking a gulp of water! I am trying to inhale with my head down but end up taking in water and everything falls apart! I will keep persevering! Thanks!
I love this video. You make swimming freestyle look so easy. I really want to perfect my kick rhythm . Can you do a video on the 2 beat / 6 beat kick ? 😃
Thanks for this video. Your technique is lovely, but it's also different than what other channels like Effortless Swimming suggest. Your arms are entering the water almost flat -- others teach fingertips first, arm not fully extended until you catch and reach straight. You're also kicking a lot more than other channels recommend. Some say, minimal kicks. You're also looking forward -- other swim channels recommend looking down to keep from dropping the legs. Are these intentional choices? Can you help explain the differences in technique? I'm concerned about learning the wrong way if there's so much variation between tutorials.
Thank you! Why don’t you try a 25m where you go really slow and take super long strokes to try and get the count to about 17, and then one where you go flat out, and likely you will be around 22. Adding my power to your push offs on the wall and also kicks under the water, will all decrease your stroke count + obviously more power and strength in your upper body
@@stephanierice-swimming thank you very much fir your answer. With a pull buoy and slowly I can hit 16 strokes. I decided to video myself and my legs without the pull buoy were completely apart (scissoring). So I have been working on keeping the kick very tight...but ended up with 19 strokes per lap 😱. My feeling is that I dont glide enough and I think it is because my kick is very unpropulsive. 🤷🏻♂️
Rice, here I see you do 2 kicks for one arm stroke. I guess swimmers do it for short distances. Could you show and tell us how swimmers do 1 kick for one stroke, like Ledecky does for 1500m. Swimmers who swim in the open water use just this techique.
Hi Stephanie, this video is a school in freestyle in itself. Two question though. As a recreational swimmer at 5'6'' tall, do you think I can achieve 50 free in less than 40 seconds with a 2 beat kick? I am not a very good kicker so trying to cut short by increasing the stroke rate.
Yes absolutely!! That will come down to how much power you are generating from your arms. If you can lengthen your stroke and get more power from each arm pull, there’s no reason why you can’t drop your time down
Stephanie, how many strokes do you do per breathe and does it depend on the what you are doing e.g. sprinting, middle distance, long distance or training? Thanks
IF u train do every fifth ,its like must be . I swim 3 years and when i started breathe every 5th, i improved my swim, but it is hard i believe . When u sprinting go with 2 strokes each breathe
Ohhh nooo. Ok so maybe your body isn’t flat in the water. Think about your head position and maybe lowering it closer to the water so your legs are more horizontal … and also take note of your feet to make sure your ankles are pointed
There are many gold medalists in swimming, but I've never seen anyone swim as gracefully and beautifully as she does. Before going to the pool, I always watch videos of Stephanie Rice for image training. Thank you for the great videos.
Elbow higher than the wrist - simple explanation that’s easy to understand and remember. Which I’d heard that years ago. Thanks Stephanie.
Thanks Stephanie. We can all aspire to look so effortless & smooth like you do gliding along the surface of the water.
Aww thank you. Yes swimming with ease is definitely the goal

nobody explained this as nicely as you did. especially the emphasis on keeping abs firm to link the upper body propulsion with kicks
Beautiful stroke, very helpful tips! 🙃🙂 thank you!!
I have learned a lot from you to coach my daughter. She is quite a good swimmer at 8 years old.
Thanks !
Thankyou Stephanie for sharing. It is beautifully done.

Wonderful
@@stephanierice-swimming Your videos are the difference between training and not training. No pressure
Thanks so much for your instructions, Stephanie!! Watching your video for the fift time now.
Do so, is easy, if you can. There is the for most people unknown way for get the know how it takes, and the steady effort in practice all the way to became as good.
Thats actually the true way towards every greatness.
Big deal is always the hard, tricky, long way to become a master.
Thank you Stephanie, i had read your book, it was perfect, this video channel is too.
Thank you Stephanie for a great video. I learn a lot from your videos. Cheers.🥰😀🤩
Learning new today , we also need to practice a up kick using kick board . Thanks Stephanie😊
This is a very concise breakdown of freestyle.
Her swimming looks so smooth even when she's showing the wrong technique 😅. Thanks for the video!
My problem of swimming freestyle is forgot to breath out when underwater. I was too focus on the rotation of my body. This video really helps me.
This is so well done. Thank you.
Almost everyone out here says that you should kick from the hips but they don't specify. Now I know... down with QUADS, up with HAMSTRINGS. Just tried it out and I swear it is a game changer! It feels awesome and much easier. Thank you Stephanie.
I am going to apply that tip today.
Thank you very much! I am learning from your swimming tech
Happy to help!
Hi stephanie, I'm glad to see your videos. And thank you for your time
Can you make video about arrow freestyle
And thank you again for teaching us swimming.
Wow.. Skill Simplified .. Well Explained
Thank you for this amazing video. Great explanation and got a lot of useful insights. can you also share some points about the hand entry
It looks so easy for her but it’s challenging in real life. I hope to be really good one day. Gotta keep practicing.
I love your video, easy to understand. Thank you
THIS video is SO good! Thank you!
you are indeed a great swimmer ! Thanks for those tips..
Thank you :)
Great technique!
Very good hand crossing and foot balance!
Hi Steph, thanks for the video, I´ve always been your fan. I´ve been swimming over 30 years and I´d be happy if i looked even 10% as good as you do :)
The explanation is so nice
So glad to hear :)
You give me good steps for good freestyle technique 🏊🏼♂️

Great job 👏🏻, thank you Stephanie ❤
Thanks Stephanie for to show how to do it nice and easy
Woohoo Stephanie! Good job!

Great instructions! Thanks!
Amazing
Good clip n thanks Stephanie. Is breathing on one side or both best? Thank you.
Beautiful swim, beautiful explanation.
Thank you
Listening to you is like swimming in the water of your nice voice.
I like the way you rotate from the core
I love this video. You make swimming freestyle look so easy. I really want to perfect my kick rhythm . Can you do a video on the 2 beat / 6 beat kick ? 😃

Beautiful strokes ever seen.
한국입니다^^
한국에서 대부분의 수영유튜버들이 스테파니 선수의 영법을 모범 영상으로 보여줍니다.
훌륭한 선수 커리어에 이어서
모범이 되는 활동으로 전세계에 선한영향력을 끼치는 선수로 기억되셨으면 좋겠습니다:)
The fact that how straight she swam along the line was soothing to the eyes.
Have a good day. Thanks
You too
So nice, tks Rice
Thanks Steph
Great clip.
Stephanie...I am stuck!
Cant improve my distance per stroke...19 per 25 meters!

She good job 👏
どの種目もステファニー
ライス❤️さんの泳ぎは美しくて素晴らしいですね❗
私はいつもステファニーさんをイメージして泳いでいます🎵
ありがとう❤️
Thank you ☺️
great tips trying this tomorrow abs on who knew !cheers
Is there anything wrong if the high elbow is not met 0:40 , versus the high elbow stroke seen at 1:34?
와 대박 수영 진짜 잘하네요.
Hi Stephanie, when u said " tight abs", did it mean bracing or drawing in(bring the belly button towards spine)?
Bracing is probably a better way to think about it :)
If I want to swim in more 800m distance, which is better, 3 times breath or 2 times breath?
Do you sync your kicking rhythm with your arm stroke rhythm?
❤️👍good job
Thank you.
She’s too smooth and fast that the water was sliced open for her, when we normally just having a small air pocket she’s got an airbag to breathe from
Good luck👍👍👍😊🙏
Very beautiful swimming ❤
👍👍👍👍👍

Any more tips for swim team
I am from Nagaland, India.. always I see Madam Stephanie Rice video & try to drill the same..
thanks!
Thanks

Omg how??? I get stuck at the same place kicking with kick boards 😩 so frustrating
Ohhh nooo. Ok so maybe your body isn’t flat in the water. Think about your head position and maybe lowering it closer to the water so your legs are more horizontal … and also take note of your feet to make sure your ankles are pointed
I cannot press chest while kicking and my legs are falling. Any ways to correct this?
❤👍👍
What does lock on abs mean. How do I achieve this. Never heard it before
keep you stomach muscles tense.
excellent
good
I really need help in swimming 😭
