- In this video I’ll share with you the 4 most important steps you need to do to learn to swim effortlessly using a real life example, Marianna. As you will see, learning how to swim smoothly is hard, but once you have mastered it, it is a skill that is easy to keep your entire life.
On this day I asked Marianna if she knew how to swim. She said "yes". She wasn't lying. But her definition of knowing how to swim was very different from mine.

Thank you for your vdos I am learning a lot at the age of 67 . India 🙏🙏🙏
Last year when I started swimming and watching this channel I couldn't go 25M without stopping. Now with practicing 3 times a week for 8 months I can do 1.2km in under 30 min. It's all practice combined with the techniques and motivational videos from this channel!
Amazing! Congratulations 👏
Jesús Loves you so much and is always with us to help us with anything❤ Trust in Him❤
Wow, that's absolutely incredible!
I’m absolutely shocked at how much better I’ve become in only 2 months.
These videos have been part of that. Thank you!
Great to hear!
I have learned a lot from your videos, as well as from the Ocean Walker. I use what I have learned from both, as well as from many others. Long story short: a year ago I could BARELY swim one 25 yard lap. Now I can do 280 laps (4 miles) without stopping. It takes me a while (3:30), but i am okay with sacrificing speed for distance. It is extremely satisfying at my age (72) to be able to swim 4 miles. Have fun everyone!
I was her last March, couldn’t breathe and out of breath in one lap (sinking legs and no extension no rotation). I was retiring in July so I made a decision to hit the pool daily. I made to pool at least 5 to 6 times a week, mileage able 800 meters to now 1200 meters. At first I could breathe more naturally right side but had a hard time duplicating to left side. I kept on practicing bilateral breathing no matter how hard. I us snorkel and paddles to practice form and correct mistakes. I was self learning how to front crawl via youtube coaches. I also self learn how to breaststroke. Breaststroke came to me much faster. Once I had the mistakes corrected I have more stamina using breaststroke. Right now I continue to fine tune forms and breathing, with the goal of building endurance and stamina. I push myself a bit more everyday to finish a lap and turn around into the 2nd lap (I haven’t started learning flip turn). It was so hard at first but it got a little easier everyday.
Have been swimming on and off for 40+ years. Because of my sports and music background I knew that repetition of good technique was key. So, I would ask other swimmers and lifeguards for tips. They were all generous and helpful. I picked up books and watched video tapes as well.
Over the years I found I was able to go further and faster. My age is 71 and I do from 6 km to 9 km in 3 sessions per week. With a combination of breast and freestyle my sessions last between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on how hard I push. I do between 80 to 120 laps per session. Once I did 140 with full confidence I could have done 200 if deciding to do it. It took 2 hours to do 140.
Your videos have contributed to me making a quantum leap in my technique translating into a much improved and fun experience in my swimming workouts. Thank you very much. I am subscribed and watch your videos consistently. Cheers from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
Wow that's impressive man! Surely inspiring to hear your swimming journey! One day I'll be able to swim that long too! Currently swimming about 500 meters every pool session. Which is 1-3 times a week. This week I'm making some changes to be able to swim 3 times a week more consistently. Striving to improve so I can also do a triathlon one day! Hoping to do one by the end of this summer :)

Thank you for your kind words. Included in my regimen is cycling and yoga practice. My partner is a yoga teacher and I attend 3-4 of her classes per week. Cycling is incorporated into my lifestyle. Very little of my cycling is recreational. When doing errands and visiting friends I usually ride one of my bikes. Congratulations on your growth in swimming. It's deeply satisfying to see tangible gains by applying good technique. There's no doubt you achieve you triathlon goal. Keep going!! 👍
Same as millions of the viewers of your "arrow free style" video, I started my swimming self-teaching sessions since 2 years ago from someone who struggled to finish 25M breaststroke, which by that moment was my only kinda "know-how" stroke, to now a swimmer who can finish 2k session with all 4 strokes , 5 times a week without too much effort. My cycling background is supposingly contributing a lot in terms of cardio capacity, and is even improved by my swimming, I call it synergy, which is so great!
Thanks to your patient explaintion and all the 3D illustrations along with the logical analysis based on comparison and datas, skill N talents is not only one of my most beneficial YTB swimming channels, but also has being shared and translated into other languages, (Chinese in my case) for swimmers around the world.
Hope you guys doing great and of cause, swim fast!
I'm in exactly the same place as Marianna was five years ago. Could you possibly create a playlist with all of Marianna's videos over the last five years? For beginners like us, this ought to be really beneficial.
Yes. I recommend that.
дякую! ваш канал - справжнє натхнення. Люблю ваші відео, вболіваю за ваших учнів і бажаю їм всім успіхів. Я прийшла у басейн у 2019 році, і моїм наставником був мій чоловік. Він навчився правильно плавати ще у дитинстві, я вміла на той час добре триматися у воді і плавати з піднятою головою. І я думала, що ніколи у житті не зможу плавати як він - красивим, плавним кролем. Але його впевненість у мені, його поради, відео у ютуб і моя мотивація все змінили. Зараз я опанувала двухударний кроль, займаюся 5 разів на тиждень і пливу 1 км за 24 хв. Дякую що ділитеся порадами та відео, вони насправді допомагають. Вітання з України 💙💛
I am a beginner swimmer and i can relate to it ..I am swimming exactly as her in 0.55sec but if you could show step by step what all drills she did to improve the techniques that would be really helpful for us :)
Her technique 7:41 catches an eye! Amazing progress, super awesome!
I watch you videos constantly, and I was surprised to see Mariana kicking the same two beats kicks I learned from you, it is a brilliant move to ensure you keep your legs fresh for the cycling-running.
This video motivates me. I just started my swimming lesson (I'm 47-year age btw). This week will be my 5th meeting with my swimming coach. My goal is to be able to swim correctly and as a beginner it is so hard, just like this video shows 😃. Just great to know that I'm not the only one 😃.
I always look forward to your videos. Great one as usual! Congratulations Mariana!
Thank you so much!!
I love rewatching your videos to gauge my progress. I just started to use 25m pool. The session is only 45 minutes tops (last session, life guard has to clock out). I have to stop after each lap for breather. My total distance each session is about 1200m on average. I like the challenge of 25m course. It pushes me to be super mindful of form, pace, and breathing. I try to get a spot 5 days a week (many dedicated lap swimmers and limited sessions in winter time). I watch other swimmers doing laps non stop. I hope i can achieve that one day in 50m pool:)
Thank you so much. I have been swimming for some time and I got impatient thinking that it is not for me because of how much progress I was able to make during that time. But now I am less worried. I am going to keep practicing.
Marianna's journey and progress was really inspiring and awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Great job Marianna! She rocked learning this difficult skill!
Love your guys video, thanks for making me want to swim harder than last time, and so motivating with all the stories
Thank you for helping me with breathing techniques. Tried it first time today and felt much less stressed. Still can't do flip turns but I am sure I can learn with your techniques 💕
6:05 6:05 thank goodness thank

From a couple of different martial arts instructors..... Sifu/teacher, am I doing this right? !0,000 more times! But Sifu, that is what you said last time.... Well then, 10,000 more times! You don't get better without practice. Marianna is the ideal student, some one who wants to learn. Good luck on your triathlon!
Wish you were my swim coach. These are so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, this video is really boost my willingness to continue swimming, as I am making same mistake those Mariana made in past, I will also correct those by this vedio.... Thank you again
Just started watching your videos and I love them. I can swim for a long time but I'm slow and have plateaued. Your tips are great and very informative. Thank you. If you do any swim camps, do tell! 😊
Sir please do video about skin and hair care before and after swimming.
Because most of swimming pools will use clorine to keep water clean.
For every day swimmer
Perfect video!!! I'am as Marianna, I understand all teorical things but I don't do well in water. I am a runner too, marathons and ultramarathons. My legs goes down in the pool ... I am trying till now 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you so much, i learned a lot from youtube videos. Wish you all the best
That’s a great explanation. I will practice the tips you have here. Many thanks 🙏
Great video and tracking progress! I totally agree with the having fun while learning a skill!! Great job to the coach and Marianna!!
Thanks so much!!
I absolutely adore your videos! They bring me so much joy! By the way, I was wondering if you happen to be teaching? I would love to learn from you!
Loving your excellent tutorials👍 and you're right about the goggles. They got me over putting my face in the water immediately which then took me onto breathing practice. Learning freestyle is my goal. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge. I'm sharing the love with my Aussie friends too 💗
you are really right about the goggles. It makes a huge difference. I have bad eyes (-3.5/-5.5) and i am always looking for good goggles with optical lenses. Unfortunately the big vendors don't care , especially if you need to different glasses. Tests are only looking on normal goggles which you can have in all forms, sizes and with a kind of features. But, at least i found some on this limited market.
I think a video on how swimming helps in the context of contemporary posture problems would be interesting
I get the message that having a good physical condition first is important before learning swimming.
Brilliant Mauricio
Thank you Sofian!
@@SkillsNT hey, im very curious about SNT apps in android. i cant find it
@@mbayukhrisnamurthi9576 here it is skillswimming.com/swimming-app/
So useful ! And motivating! Thanks for video
If you had asked me 6 years ago if I knew how to swim, I would have said 'yes, of course'. If you ask me now - after a year of spending every second day in the pool - I would probably reply with something like: I know how not to drown for at least 4 hours, but I wouldn't say I can swim, at least not yet.
Jesús Loves you so much and is always with us to help us with anything❤ Trust in Him❤
Oh, nice to see you back again Raul. I was wondering what you were up to, it was a while.
Thanks for talking a bit more about breathing, I feel like allot of swimming videos don't talk enough about it while showing good visual examples.
한국어 자막 너무 감사합니다
Happy to see you again, I need to come to your pool and learn from you 😅 , am so bad and I can’t get it
I am at her beginning video. BUT YAY!!! Let us know how she does
I am 125 lbs. Male. 68 yrs. I swim in 72° springs. Cannot touch bottom. I start to shiver after 10/15 minutes. Heavy people have no problem. I do not want to be heavy. What is recommended? Thank you. This was a good video.
Main concern; keeping things FUN 🎉🙏🏻💪
Inspiring one.
Like this vid. Touches my heart and feeling
Incredible progress. Next: address her collapsing elbow and watch as she improves even further. 👍
Exactly
Just let you that your videos are very informative. ❤❤❤❤❤ ‘em all.
Glad you like them!
Great work .thank you
can you guys make a video on swimming routines and/or how to text your swim level and what exercises to do for your level? i’ve been watching A-Aron but i feel that the exercises are TOO beginner for my level…
Last month, I could barely complete a full 25 without stopping. Now I can swim a 50m in 33 seconds, now I can swim a 100m in 1:27 seconds, now i can swim a 400m without stopping. It may not be fast but it's a huge achievement.
I love your videos I have hope. Thank you.
It seems my son should learn to swim from you...
Hi,
I'm at 10 swimming sessions.
First time i swam only 10m, my last session i swam 1.000m in 40mn in breaststroke but still almost impossible to swim the crawl (max. 20m) because of my legs who fall down and respiration.
I need to be ready to swim 5km in open water in september 😀
I thinking to join your swimming camp in Spain (i'm french).
I had to start off with 100 meters.. im 13 right now i had a hard time with swimming at first getting better now
How do I float with a 2-beat kick?
Good! motivating!
Can you please post more I learn a lot
Awesome content and I’m still on the Ad lol
Wow this is inspiring
Greetings from Oman. This channel really helped me when I decided to switch from breaststroke to freestyle because I heard that breaststroke can ruin your knees. Full sprint Arrow freestyle is one of the highlights of my days now. Could you speak more about the arm rotation you alluded to in this video? You rotate inwards as your hand enters the water?
Yes I think this video speaks about the shoulder rotation you are talking about. It's old but it's good ua-cam.com/video/aYWMN6-OJHE/v-deo.html
WONDERFUL!!!
Love to learn more
Love ur video. Learn so much thing
Thanks for watching!
You funny good teacher props up
I am so confused, there are a lot of videos and my coaches have told me to keep my elbow high and do sort of a square with it, but then I see a lot of vides like Mariana's where stat is not so evidently done, and I get frustrated that I keep trying to master that and while I try to improve that water pull, I start getting sloppy on other things like my breathing, :(
it's my third day learning to swim, in a single breath i can do 23m, after that, the fear kicks in, as the water is deep enough and i still don't know how to tread or breath in while swimming
What about fear for drowning?
I am swimming like this 😮😮😮2
Times the night before 🎉this
What time is best for swimming?
Adjusted to your sleeping and eating patterns
Exactly. Whenever you think it adapts best to your schedule based on all you activities, sleep and eating times.
Now
wow, she swims 2-beat kicks so beautiful, and her physical also looks more firm!
I have 40 days swimming every day, but i have strong pain shoulders at night, strong enough that i wake up. While swimming, i dont have any pain.
I move legs like breaststroke when I swim free style pls guide me
Hi from Italy and compliment for the videos and for the Chanel. Should be interest if you speek about he method of training and the Energy systems during the workout ( aerobic, anaerobic, vo2max ecc.). 🙂
What was her original motivation to start swimming?
Let's ask her @mc2nutriciondeportiva686
Hello!!! I'm Marianna.
I've always like sports very much, and I knew that I didn't swim very well, so I want to swim well because I was thinking on triathlon in a future.
i'm trying to build up durability and swim long distances, i don't really have someone to help me and supervise me training myself so so I'm doing it all by myself. I only have availability to go at sea and everyday apart form a cold or windy day. Do you have some advice and will this help me loose, remove fat?
Every physical activity has the potential to make you lose fat. The most effective way to lose fat is to move your body more and also move heavier objects (lifting weights for example). Imagine that you move (walk, swim etc 7 hours a day) and carry heavy boxes up and down the stairs. You would get fit no matter what. But that's not possible for most of us. So just more than you already do is enough for now. the most important thing is actually your mind. Since you are doing this by yourself it's actually harder to be motivated. So it's really important to define the best reason you want to get better and feel better. I hope this helps. The details on how to swim better are on most of our videos.
I got a frozen shoulder, what kind of style should I use ?
I swam 800 meters for the first time yesterday. I used to stop a lot during 25m and want to get better. Is it okay to swim this distance every other day if I'm not having any injuries?
Thank you very much sir for your video. This is very useful. I want to be a good swimmer.
Felicidades a Mariana
Моя мечта научиться плавать вот также) ❤️
Evryone teachers are selecting kid in our school for a swimming competition 😮😮😮
Started feb 2022. Learnt through UA-cam.
Went from hardly 1 length to 100m in 1min 23secs. Have been stuck here for a few months. Anyone got any tips?
Could you please leave a link for these googles? I bought a new pair but I looked like I was punched when I get out of the pool. My eyes are deep set, I don't pull my goggles too tight but they seem to create a suction or else they leak... I started swimming on Jan 31st, I am really enjoying it but want to improve, these videos are great!
Wow
looks like total immersion swimming techniques
Some of them, but we still work on kicking a lot and we try to glide in line with the body and not down like in total immersion. There are some other differences but it's the same sport so there will be overlap obviously
Often when I breath I take in water and it completely messes me up.
my typical swimming session now is 400m for 10 minutes. i dont think the bottleneck is my breathing or form, but my muscles get tired (and honestly i get a little bored. at least with other sports, you can listen to music). any thoughts on this? should i try to go longer?
I will think about this
Did you have a swim class.
Coach is 25m meter good enough to train for competitive swimming?
Yes
Turkish subtitels please
This is my favourite swimming channel. However, you speaking using spanish grammar with english words...
Yeah that sounds about right. If you let.me know when that happens specifically I would appreciate it.
@@SkillsNT I cant because i do the same! :) As a researcher that publishes in english journals it is not easy...
what is the app name
She was out od breath and keep taking breath every 4 arm moves?
Sta imparando a nuotare da 4 mesi e ancora non riesce a remare freestyle ea respirare
Second!
👏👏👏
No way
