    #2: You will learn how to fix the most common mistakes of freestyle breathing. Wrong breathing affects your body position and make your swimming much harder and much slower. I will show you how to get rid of these mistakes and to breathe correctly in freestyle swimming. By using my tips, 100% you will have correct breathing in swimming.
    #3: You will see a great example how MUCH your body position depends on the position of your head. By keeping the correct head position, you will decrease water resistance. Hence, you will improve swimming efficiency which is crucial for triathlon athletes.
    #4: Now that you have your head in the correct position, you will greatly improve your body position. However, most swimmers have 2 common mistakes that do not allow you to progress with freestyle swimming technique. For IronMan athletes, it is super important.

    Great video.I’m 70 years young and I just learned free style a few months ago.. The breathing was so hard for me to learn but I didn’t give up. It’s finally feeling more natural and I’m focusing in more on the arm strokes and kicking. Each time I go to the pool I get a little bit better. I love swimming. It’s my special secret sanctuary!

    This is very truthful and worded well. All swimmers should know this information. Watch more than once or twice. Before you make these adjustments know your stroke count for one length, your time and your heart rate. Then you can measure your improvement and become inspired to stick with evolving your swimming.

    I had a big breakthrough today, I think because I started my breath when my arm reaches my leg as you say at the beginning of this video. For the first time I completed 9 laps (1/4 mile) in a 30 minute session. Thank you!

    Wow! This is great. What a wonderful lesson. You actually covered everything so carefully and understanding . Very thorough. I am using this video as a theory class and will practice on another day. It is best to absorb this information and internalize it first. This practice will be a lot of fun and at least now I have things to focus on while developing a professional technique. I have just now started swimming three weeks ago and already I am gliding without using a kick board. Everyone says that I have a natural style and confidence for swimming. All I need now is correct technique. I am 74 years old.

    I learned to swim 55 years ago. This is a different rhythm. It’s hard to break old habits but doing the drills to separate the different components should help. Thank you for breaking it down in that manner.

    Most important (as a beginner) is relaxing! Lol. I've taken 4 lessons so far. Thanks to your videos, my instructor always tells me my technique is REALLY good. However, my body still won't fully relax. So my arm strokes are good, my breathing and body position is good, and my kicking is good. I still run out of breath way too fast because I'm so tense. So I'm putting way too much energy into everything because I just can't fully relax for some reason. I have no problem going under water or doing anything, so I'm not sure what the problem is. She tells me all the time I need to get out of my head. Your videos helped me so much. I was able to progress a lot faster thanks to you!

    • @33Jenesis

      Try using a swim snorkel. I find it helps me to relax while practicing. Once I overcome habitual fear and muscle tension, I can incorporate unaided breathing into freestyle. I am a brand new swimmer.

      @@leerats1 It's fantastic! I want to recommend theese videos to everyone! They are better than gold! It's not easy, it's wery challenging to understand swimming technics, I have practice a lot, the whole summer I swim at a 50 meter outside pool! In Sweden, Mjölby! Look at Google maps! I like to practice one length at a time without breathing! It's not too hard! But I really need to practice breathing technique! It would be nice to swim like a champ! I'm 52, my dream is to swim across the English channel! That' would be great! Before I turn 60? It's possible? I like to swim 5 km. 7 km. Next summer I want to practice 10 km in a big lake Vättern! Look at the Google maps, I live in A small town next to the big lake! I live in a town called Skänninge! I have 7 km to the swimming pool house! I go there by bicycle! 30 minutes!

    Thank you for this video. It’s the clearest and best example I’ve seen on UA-cam. I’ve been swimming for 60 years, always breast stroke, to a very good standard. My chiro has encouraged me to swim freestyle as I recover from a back injury and to minimize the risk of further injury by cutting down right down on breast stroke. I’ve been swimming freestyle for four weeks and doing well, but have learned through your great instruction some simple changes that will help me make significant improvements. I can’t wait to get back in the water next week.

    “You need to inhale as soon as your arm reaches your leg. You must have taken in-breath, and your head must turn back into normal position before your hand enters the water again,”
    1. Inhaling should be quick and deep
    2. Return your head before your arm recovers
    3. Start a new arm stroke when your head is back
    I feel like the information the video provides makes me want to practice them, so I can learn on my peace. I really want to practice breathing. I saw that the swimmer does not lift his head, but turns head while his body is on the side. Also, his mouth moves to the side in order to avoid water from getting in. This is difficult when you are beginner, “Turn your head to the side but do not lift it out of the water.” On the other hand, I realized the swimmer gets air, turns head back and do the next arm stroke. I saw people in my class how the turn to the side, do the arm stroke and turns the body to keep going. As a beginner, you do not see the mistakes. But clearly, it is not the best way to do it. On the other hand, “Correct body position decreases water resistance” which comes from correct breathing and paddling. I am trying to learn how to improve my swimming techniques, so this is helping me to see my mistakes. I will try the advice the video gives.

    • @artharb2119

      The breathing has been the most difficult for me, once I start running out of air I stick my head out more to get a deeper breath and totally messes up my technique and I begin to sink. Very frustrating

      Body position. The stream line position you keep emphasizing on. Even the delay the arm pull and only 1-2 kicks you mentioned.
      But I would like to ask if this applies to both sprinting in 200m events, or more suited for endurance triathlon events?

    Great video as always, thank you! I've started learning freestyle two months ago. All alone, just you good guys from youtube and me :) Today I made PR, great breaktrough, swam 750m without stopping... :))) Before that I swam 3-4 times, sets of 6x150 or 200m :), And before that 5-6 days I swam 4 pool lengths (100m) last month, struggling with rythm and legs. Not to mention first days, when I couldnt swim 10m...or did 25m lengths with my heart going to explode :) And did most in breastroke...My next goal is to learn flip turn at the end of pool :)
