Just got my 2nd private lesson and am doing your video and is consistent with my instructor's. Your videos are awesome and thank you for sharing, I am a 67 year old first time swimmer.
Thank you. After giving up years ago, I am trying again to learn to swim. These videos are so helpful. And why are commenters worried about her make up. Obviously, when making a video that people will watch over and over, one might want to look her best.
Drill no.4 single balance breath that's the most important and toughest, if you master it you can swim longer and faster without gasping for air. Thanks for the video.
I did 6 of these drills yesterday and they helped so much while being fun at the same time (I did feel sore the rest of the day so maybe it was too much fun 😂). I was finally able to move a significant distance while kicking. The improvement on the overall freestyle won't happen overnight BUT this helped tremendously to improve body position awareness and it gave me tools to check each individual component of the technique. THANK YOU!
The problem with many beginners swimming techniques is bad training. Many start with a friend teaching them the dog style. Where you simply famble in water ..mixing short free pulls..hands wide apart ..head above water while doing frog kicks. Once one is able to float with this mixed tech it is hard to learn the basics.. one finds it hard yo do proper techniques and refuses to learn. In my experience it is easier to train one who cannot swim at all than one with these mixed motions. With free style..start with leg strokes.. master the leg strokes ..then learn the arm pulls...then learn body rotations then breathe. All these can be learned in two sessions. Provided the student is good at listening
This is by far the most helpful tutorial as well as narration EVER! My problem is sinking when trying to swim. I’m headed to the pool in a few, now I know what to do 😉
Thanks for the video. I think you may have hit on something I never gave a moments thought to when swimming… having an actively engaged core. I’ll try to incorporate this into my swimming next time I’m out.
Have not swim for a long time. I dont know or i can swim or float in the water. But this kinda calms me down. Gonna practise this soon before my holiday comes 🤣
Just want to say thanks so much for making all these videos! I only just started swimming, your videos are so extremely helpful. And I think you are awesome!
This is awesome! I have been practicing the freestyle drills you recommend in your other videos and they have definitely helped me improve my technique. I will add these to my routine.
A proper professional with easy steps to learn and practice. Some videos too much talk to the point were you're lost Nd can't follow anymore. Thank you!!
Love your channel so much! I am passionate about swimming, and watched a bunch of your videos to learn by myself. You are so professional! Thank you very much! By the way, love the way you make videos. The episode and the background music make it so fun! Hope to learn from you one day and to be a professional swimmer like you！
Awesome! I appreciate you sharing these free tips, my legs don’t sink but I have trouble with the free kick and will definitely be using drills 5 and 6. Thank you so much!
Ok...these look really tough! I know I have the power in my upper body but my legs are just like rocks. I'm going to try these for a few weeks as part of my warmup and see how it goes. Thank you!!
With covid-19, all community pools are closed, which is good but i miss ‘em so much, and can’t practice what you just wonderfully just taught... i lack these techniques and finds sinking at times
Thank you Chloe for the video! I was stuck with leg sinking for the longest time, until I tried the drill #4 and I finally figured out which core muscle to use to keep the feet up. In addition it corrected my bad habit of pushing my hand down to breath. I swim so much more efficient now. :) By the way drill #1 still seems impossible to me...
I tried "Drill #1: Floating" I give myself an F minus. I tried it with lungs full & lungs post exhalation. With lungs full, the legs sink a little faster-- they cut a hole through the water, down through which the rest of me slides.
Awesome video! Thank you for your recommendations! As you mentioned in your video it is not that easy to stay horizontal to the water surface while swimming the front crawl. For me at least it is extremely hard to do, my legs are sinking so much. I will surely do the drills you are recommending to do and see what happen! Have a pleasant day.
The thing with the float is thogh, not everyone can do this. Men have a disadvantage. I for example have strong and heavy legs, and I can engage my core as much as I wont, there is no floating for me. The only way to stay up is by kicking.
I suggest trying to practice floating (staying still) by gently holding on to the hand rail (that runs along the pool). Lower your head, facing the pool floor, this should raise your legs above the water, bringing your body into the floating position. I am also male with a muscular body and heavy legs, the above technique helped me.
Subscribed....and what I'd like to understand more is ankle flexibility vs forward propulsion with kick only. As an Ironman I can swim but I get almost no propulsion from my kick even though I feel like I'm doing the same kick with my legs! :-(
You don't need 20 minute videos when you really know what your talking about. Best swim vids out there. Thanks C.
You're a great teacher; so informative.

Hooray for you... I took my 1st lesson at my 60th birthday. It's never too late to learn.

You go girl!
Chloe..... You Genius ❤️❤️❤️
After 30+ years of doing it wrong.
I can finally kick "my anchor legs"
Thank you. After giving up years ago, I am trying again to learn to swim. These videos are so helpful. And why are commenters worried about her make up. Obviously, when making a video that people will watch over and over, one might want to look her best.
Thank you! Yes!

Thanks for the video.
Best advice ever, short but very practical ! Thanks.
Thanks!

Engaging the glutes did the trick for me! Thanks a lot!

Great video, thanks Chloe.... How could 297 people actually dislike this video? The internet is weird!!
Very useful advices and drills, and really well explained too. Thank you very much!!
My pleasure!
Finally one useful video about sinking legs
Thanks for the video. I think you may have hit on something I never gave a moments thought to when swimming… having an actively engaged core. I’ll try to incorporate this into my swimming next time I’m out.
Yeah! ENGAGE your core! Sometimes we forget our bodies have everything to do with actually swimming!
That's true not only for swimming, it helps in many activities. E.g. slacklining.
Have not swim for a long time. I dont know or i can swim or float in the water. But this kinda calms me down. Gonna practise this soon before my holiday comes 🤣
Great drills. Great tips. Terrific swimmer.
Thank you!
Oh Thank you so much for this.I have saved some money to learn how to swim on UA-cam.Will share this video.
Just want to say thanks so much for making all these videos! I only just started swimming, your videos are so extremely helpful. And I think you are awesome!
This is awesome! I have been practicing the freestyle drills you recommend in your other videos and they have definitely helped me improve my technique. I will add these to my routine.

Amazing drills. Thank you !!
Great Drills, thanks
Great content miss, I've learned a lot from you'r videos.

Can you make one on how to tread water?
Will try and show this clip to the swim club that I swim with next week!
Thank you 😊
Any time!
Thank you for this training information.
My Pleasure

Vídeo muito instrutivos, parabéns.
Thank you for your inspiring video. I am practicing like this but not confident. Will keep going.
Thanks for those drills brill
You are a very good teacher. Do you have an academy where children can be sent to learn?
The speed she gets from just kicking. Wow! I need to work on my kicks...
Thank you so much
It's really helpful

Mind - Now I know how to swim.

Body - Whoa... Where are you going?
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha so true
Hahah
