I saw this video some years ago and it is so clearly explained why these drills work, that it completely changed my perception and understanding of swimming technique. The images of this great swimmer made it instantly clear what he explains and what to aim for yourself when swimming. For me, it was the start of my own swimming becoming way better. So a big thanks!
me the same! I am a completelly different swimmers now after the first time I watched it a few years ago! It is the perfect explanation because the guy here is NOT for views but he works with athletes and he is professional and not just a random guy making a video for views. This is why this makes the video usefull and perfect!
my daughter, who's nearly nine and relatively petite in her squad, seems to be fighting her way in the water, so to correct it, we watch together some portions of this video every now and then, it summarises so well all the techniques that I struggle to teach her.😊
4:29 narrow stroke, swimming side to side, cutting the water; keep your back straight and your eyes down; use six-beat kick, moving side to side 6:00 overwater recovery sets up a high-elbow catch. Drills 7:20 establishing the core of stroke; light kick 8:00 rotation and posture; straight spine, drop jaw back, raise the head slightly, neutral position 9:24 twelve kicks or (six kicks) and transition; make the transition smooth and straight; could add a little bit swimming in between transition. 12:02 one-arm drills 13:46 three-quarters catch-up drill 16:38 drills with a snorkel 19:07 catch and throw drill
I am 56 and a new swimmer....This is the best video tutorial I had seen....I am doing freestyle with Flat body position and bcos of this style I am getting tired very soon...Now, after seeing this video telling to swing around side to side kicking and reducing water resistance really helps ....Will practice your techniques in the pool....Awesome tutorial....Thank You So Much...🙏🙏🙏
This is the best video for learning free style swimming. David Marsh explains it very clearly, what are important, and why. Rada Owen ,the swimmer, is really really showing how to swim free style efficiently. An inspiring video. Big thanks.
Best video on the UA-cam ! I have watched so many video to learn freestyle, still can’t get it. However, after watching this one, I can swim 6 freestyle strokes right away. Thanks for explaining the freestyle so clearly 👍👍👍
As a swimmer, women in the water just look so much better than men. And no, I'm not just talking about looking sexy, they just have such a better flow in their movements and natural bouyancy.
This is so brilliant and helpful and thanks a million Leslie. In one short tutorial you have solved all my problems with freestyle. It’s amazing your insights into the common problems faced with this technic. Your articulation makes it so easy for me to understand and follow and therein lies your genius.
Laurence Corray Leslie is the name of the account, not the narrator. 0:40 David Marsh and 1:36 Rada Owens are present tho. Did you not watch the video?
@@lzszl Is it not okay to thank the account????!!!!! My "you" refers to Leslie and the narrators. Is it necessary for you to be so petty!!!!! You must be having a troubled life to be so petty????!!!!!!!
I always watch this video. I think this makes more sense than most i have watched. Clearly shows it in the demo and made a huge difference in my swimming too
"We're not trying to pull in freestyle, we're trying to set the catch and move our body by the hand". How I wish I had known this during all my years training as a masters swimmer
all those people who disliked are probably just people who made videos like this but are jealous that they suck at making videos like this. this is the best on youtube
I have been doing those drills for the last 25K being in the pool and must admit I progressed my front crawl pace from 2:20/100m to 1:35/100m and still working on it so definatelly recommend to anyone who wants to make a significant progress :-)
This is great. My 100m time is 2:17. From today I am going to do all the drills in the video every day. Dear Tomasz is there any specific issue that I must follow. Thanks in advance.
Wow, my absolute best 100 time is 1:47 and it's nowhere near consistent. Consistently in in the 2:04-2:09 range. If i could do 1:35 that would be amazing
Thank you for this fantastic detail analysis and great underwater examples. The best I’ve seen over many months of videos, and struggle. M. Scottish Highlands.
What a wonderful tutorial, the best ever, great for those in their learning process, a lot of details and excellent explanations. Moreover, the model, swimmer, a good one, has phenomenon skills. I am appreciative watching it, feeling thankful, thanks very much! Thanks for tutelage!!
Very educational. Do not think i will be able to do all they show and explain. After all the video is more about competitive swimming than recreational one. Wish i could swim that smooth.
Gracias por está clase de natación aprendo mucho y puedo lograr entender de dónde mis errores y asi lo llevo a la práctica,mejore mucho en todas las tecnicas me llevó mucho tiempo porqué no sabia nadar a mis 63 años logré vencer el miedo y lograr nadar gracias a Dios! Hoy sigo la meta gracias nuevamente muchas bendiciones desde argentina.
I am a senior swim newbie. Using snorkel enabled me to work on form and muscle memory without worrying about breathing. This tutorial will help me to fine tune to be efficient. Hopefully breathing would come naturally as a result.
Thank you so much... I have learned freestyle looking at people at diff pools and my freestyle is as bad as it gets . Your step by step tutorial is just excellent ... will start from today and I hope I get all the parts correctly !!!
Great video. Technique broken down really well. So much to work on for me and I love that I can keep coming back to this and get something from it each time.
Every time I see this video I learn something new about kicking technical who's provide support to most heavy part of the body position thanks again greetings from Mexico
Thanks again. Throw the arm in recovery when the other hand since pressure on the water surface is a great advice with the explanation with examples in this video greetings from Zacatlan Mexico
احسنت احسنت شرح وافي ومفصل رغم اني افهم اللغه الانكليزية ٤٠ بالمئة لكن الافادة الكبيرة كانت بالتصوير الحي تحت الماء ...اليوم تعلمت جيدا طريقة التنفس اثناء السباحه واحاول ان اطبق ذلك عملي في المسبح
Really this video will help me a lot.. since I am learning swimming for last 10 months.. wanna to see more videos for backstroke, breaststroke and butter fly
Fantastic, this help me a lot with my highly resistant freestyle :D Love the drills, David instructions and Rada illustrations are straight to the points!
Thanks very much for this wonderful information. I never learned to swim and I would think to myself "How in the world could I ever get more than a few laps?" I was doing everything wrong. No wonder I was winded, trying to muscle through. Then I found this amazing video, with Rada swimming amazingly without splashing, just cutting thru the water effortlessly. I appreciate you explaining the drills and putting this video together for everyone to learn. btw, I didn't see any date or time stamp on the video, and it is 2020, and Rada sure doesn't look like she's aged at all, certainly not a decade or two. You guys got the fountain of youth or what? :)

these drills are always done by professional swimmer, they do it flawlessly. In contrast, new swimmers dies like a whale even trying this.
4:29 narrow stroke, swimming side to side, cutting the water; keep your back straight and your eyes down; use six-beat kick, moving side to side
6:00 overwater recovery sets up a high-elbow catch.
Drills
7:20 establishing the core of stroke; light kick
8:00 rotation and posture; straight spine, drop jaw back, raise the head slightly, neutral position
9:24 twelve kicks or (six kicks) and transition; make the transition smooth and straight; could add a little bit swimming in between transition.
12:02 one-arm drills
13:46 three-quarters catch-up drill
16:38 drills with a snorkel
19:07 catch and throw drill
Andrew Wang thanks! Great summary.
Thanks for taking the time to post these timelines.

Wow, the swimmer clearly and precisely demonstrated every single details of coach’s instructions. Love it.
she is likely better swimmer than the coach :)
@@mehmetdtx Which what it should look like.
This is similar to late Terry’s TI Swim drills but improvised and demonstrated very clearly. This one single video is good enough. Thanks 🙏

Rada's stroke is the most beautiful and efficient stroke I've ever seen. I am so glad I stumbled on her videos. Beauty in motion. Thanks for sharing.
Her technique is close to flawless, I could watch her glide through the water all day. Her kick is metronomic.
I keep coming back to this video as inspiration for how smooth I want my freestyle to be.
wow, she is so calm as as if she's swimming in air
🤔
Where did you saw this ?
Nice girl with extraordinary swimming skills

You speak my mind!
That was fantastic. Thank you so much!! She’s a beautiful swimmer.

The best freestyle videos on UA-cam. Fantastic!!!!!
She swims so easily so comfortably I know swimming is no big deal is it but I just go crazy so that's why I needed this
"We're not trying to pull in freestyle, we're trying to set the catch and move our body by the hand". How I wish I had known this during all my years training as a masters swimmer

Absolutely agree
Really good in-depth training stuff.
I’m going to watch this again and again.

Fantastic coaching and the swimmer
12:37 "Plus, you'll stay a little hydrated..." lol!
astonishingly beautiful freestyle.

She is an absolute pleasure to watch , such a beautifully relaxed & efficient stroke pure poetry.
Thank you for this one, the best . You explain so well and demonstrate. What a fantastic swimmer.
That makes lots of sense turning the body to a angle . This would be less resistance . Causing the swimmer to go faster.
I've watched this video like 5 times now, excellent drills and explanation!
Hello again, this time I am seeing the foot moves and kick rithim greetings from Mexico
Finally I found it. This is the best video . I will practice . Im sure I will improve.:)

Thanks again. Throw the arm in recovery when the other hand since pressure on the water surface is a great advice with the explanation with examples in this video greetings from Zacatlan Mexico
Thanks so much. I am thinking about to do a little pause with the hands in front of the face is important for to alternate with power armstrokes

i keep watching this wonderful tutorial again and again.It is always helpful.
Best drills I have ever seen. Thanks so much!
Funny that she's timing her kick with the entry on the same side, not on the other side or slightly in between for powering the rotation.
Probably the best swimming video I have ever seen
Great video... now I can teach my son how to swim freestyle correctly... thanks a lot from Bali
25:57 She made 25 m by 12 strokes without any evident effort.
Probably this is swimming along the width, approx 22 m for 8 lanes. Amazing technique anyway.
6 strokes, actually, impressive!
Really this video will help me a lot.. since I am learning swimming for last 10 months.. wanna to see more videos for backstroke, breaststroke and butter fly
Fantastic, this help me a lot with my highly resistant freestyle :D Love the drills,
David instructions and Rada illustrations are straight to the points!
It was wonderful information. Thanks lot.
I’m going to try this tomorrow with all the drills. I’m hoping to reduce my 50m freestyle time.
Before you hip rotation after pull arm, you remember report results
SomeNerd Hk I dropped my time for 100’by 9 seconds maby I can drop with this video
Let me know your improvement.
