The swimming pool where I go to doesn't allow camera.. Can your app improve my swimming in that case. Does the app has diet plan as well? I am just a beginner trying to build correct posture and stamina.
I changed my swimming technique to a two beat kick and a breath on every right stroke like in this video. Over a 1 year period, about 4 months of the year. I can now swim for 2 hours. About 500m at a time and then rest a bit and then swim again. 20 laps in 25m pool. Then rest. People think I'm a professional swimmer now. These UA-cam videos are so amazing to people who can study something and apply it through feeling your way through different swimming drills. I taught myself to swim from watching UA-cam videos. Thank you. Your channel and skills and talents channel helped me a lot. Hi so I haven't been swimming since maybe a month after I made this comment. I was enjoying swimming so much that I over did it. I messed up my shoulder so I'm busy with physio for my shoulder right now. It's also winter and I used a public swimming pool around the corner from me, so the pool is closed until summer again. However I was only swimming on weekends..I would go every Saturday morning to the pool and occasionally in the week I would go for a swimming session, but also we were by the beach almost every weekend with family and friends, so I would swim in the ocean top, but the beach I went to most of the time was like a cove, the water was very calm so I could swim up and down in the ocean too.. so I basically went to swim every weekend and I would either be in the beach almost whole day lol, playing and swimming laps, or I would be by the public swimming pool for about 2 hour sessions but I always wanted up being like 4 hours in the water. Damm I miss the water. I actually went one day to the gym like 3 weeks ago to use the indoor swimming pool, but I can feel my shoulder is not ready, so I just swam one lap and got out. 😪😭 I can't wait for my shoulder to get better. But what I would suggest to anyone is to learn to slow things down when learning how to swim..that's how I learned. I started doing different swimming drills that I saw on youtube and it absolutely changed my swimming drastically. I swam at the beach once and I swam with lifeguards and a swimming instructor. The group started swimming and they were racing eachother..they swam a quarter of the way and I decided to join in to test myself..when I came to the finish point. I thought they had finished way before me. But when I looked back, they still had a quarter of the way to swim..I was so shocked that I swam so good in the ocean. They then came to me and the swimming instructor asked me if I swim professionally because they don't recognize me. So I said I'm only learning how to swim. That's how I realized that I am swimming Damm good and I never had one person teaching me one on one. I just watched UA-cam channel like this giving different advice and swimming drills and I applied it in the water.
Love this. My kid's USA swim coaches don't even go into this much detail. This is more like the clinics we send him too. Now I am learning to swim on my own and these videos are amazing. 🎉
At age 52, i decided to learn swimming. As an adult learner, we want to understand first, then apply! This video is very helpful. Can't wait ti get into water and try these techniques!
Thank you very much for your clear & detailed tutorial on freestyle. With these key points, I believed my skills should improve & make a happier swimmer😊
Phantastic slow-motion and clear teaching. Showing the aesthetic art of easy swimming and coming into the flow with water. Sorry for my english. I‘m german
I have most of this down just need to refine as I returned to swimming after a hiatus and need to remind myself / build back muscle mem. Wish me luck! It’s huge deal for me to to return after struggling with cfs. Also I feel swimming moves energy and density out of our body. It’s giving to body a non dense earth free way to be in the world.
Wow, Thanks so so Much. You covered every single detail in this video. You answered every single question I had. I’ll use this video to practice with. I just know I’m gonna get better at swimming watching this video again and again. And then practising. again and again
Greetings And Salutations this upload made myself recall when I first got into swimming & triathlons. I actually told my swim meet instructor that '' I want to train like I was an intrepid swimmer.'' Good Luck THANKS
I just only yesterday learned freestyle it was like EUREKA - its so easy . I signed for swimming membership 3 weeks ago - I was good at breaststroke with head up ..I just found more relaxing Frog style ( I am from Poland) . ..so after 20 years not swimming at all , I decided to go swimming , and fall in love again.. I will learn now all techniques soon with the help of yours and others on You Tube .
Wow what a great video. Because I have some shoulder issues sometimes I use open hands to alleviate the pressure in the shoulder .... I have difficulties keeping the body position when I breath. I will try these drills.
1- Regarding the method of blowing from the mouth under water, the problem is that when I start to open my mouth to blow under water, water begins to enter, so what is the solution? 2- I tried blowing air out of my mouth and it was good at first. However, as I progressed in swimming, I began to have difficulty expelling all of the air. What is the solution? 3- Why do I get tired quickly while swimming? Note that I start out very well, but as I continue swimming, I find myself tired and in need of a break. 4- I am accustomed to blowing air out of my nose into the water, and when I swim in the sea and when I turn my head inside the water, sometimes salty water enters to my nose and causes a painful burning sensation, so what should I do? Is the solution a nose plug? Or is there another solution without the plug? 5- My real problem is exhaling (blowing air into the water) which prevents me from continuing proper swimming. What is the best solution? could you please specify a video for all above questions? Regards
These videos are so helpful. I just started swimming for exercise a month ago, and the breathing technique is something I need to work on. After just one lap, I need to take a break to catch my breath. So, evidently I'm not breathing right. (I'm in good shape, go running alot.. etc.. but this swimming is a totally different exercise!) Is it bad if just start swimming with a snorkel? That seems like it would allow me to keep breathing, and keep swimming without taking break. Or.. would the snorkel-use introduce bad habits?
It is different when someone really explain the reasons and whys, I have never understood why to do a short drill swimming with my hands closed now I see the reason , makes sense.
This swimming style is the best for physical fitting and workout.It's good for older folks and those with joint issues who may have joint and ankle pains running on the treadmill or exercising on a stationary bike.But it can be indoors😂
This is really effective. many many thanks for making the video. By watching this video I tried today and started swimming in the water. Just yesterday I tried and watched the video yesterday in night and today I applied those technique... I was able to swim. ❤
What frustrates me about swim technique videos is that the body your parents or Darwin gave you will determine how you should swim. Janet Evans held the 1500m free record for about a decade or so. Michael Phelps's head goes completely underwater when he goes to pull with his right arm. I would like to see a technique video breakdown by body type.
this question is mainly for backstroke, how do you manage to swim straight while doing backstroke, unfortunately i use the roof of the Aquatic centre, but the roof lines are not straight so i always hit the wall or rope. When i freestyle i follow the line in the pool to stay straight. Maybe i should close my eyes and use instinct, but i probable swim so crooked i end up in the parking lot HAHA
Don't worry - we've all been there! You should try to use your peripheral vision to eyeball the laneline, and work on one-arm backstroke drill to even out your pull strength :)
Thank you so much @@FaresKsebati , i just came back from the pool just now but i did backstrock without my arms, kinda flapped them on the side to make sure i dont feel the wall or rope, had some good laps and one that i ended up in the other lane and dont know how that happened HAHA i will try and eyeball tomorrow :)
Thanks. I swim for 30 minutes and break for 10 minutes and swim for 40 minutes and break 10 minutes and swim for 30 minutes. 3 time's at week. Is there bad or good? I am 54 years.
I’ve been swimming for a year now and I would say I’ve learned freestyle pretty fast. Not perfect but I would say my form is really good. What’s funny is I solely swim for fitness/recreation but I’m too obsessed about my form. I don’t know if that’s really warranted. 😅
I have a question : I used to swim with one side breathing instead of bilateral breathing. Do you recommend that I continue my way of breathing, or when I do many laps, is bilateral breaching going to give me advantages over side breathing? However, bilateral breathing is uncomfortable because I am not used to it.
I suck at swimming. I learnt at the laughable age of 20. I have to get a certificate of 100 meter swim as fast as possible for September. I only swim with my head out of the water. Everything I do is bad and I'm out of breath after 25 meters. I'm trying to learn freestyle but at the second my head gets under water I'm not able to move correctly. I really hate swimming but I have to get good at it. I have swam for the first time in almost 3 years just a day ago and surprisingly I'm doing better than before. I have 50 days to get better so I'm binge watching everything that will help. Those advices are good but damn doing everything at the same time is near impossible. It's like learning to skateboard while also juggling at the same time
Hand entry with SMALL finger first to avoid insider rotation of the shoulder. And after that DONT fully extend the arm but pull a bit earlier for the same reason. Efficiency does not equal ergonomic!!! Please make a full video on ergonomic swimming!
Question specific to open water swimming, how do I stop my feet from dragging when I need to look up to spot where I’m going? There are no lines at the bottom of the ocean so I need to look up every few strokes and my feet sink. Thanks!
question for the group: why did they change all 4 strokes to include butterfly in each one? you didn't used to be allowed to do butterfly in freestyle and backstroke, and you had to keep your head and neck rigid in breaststroke, not bobbing like a dolphin's.
hhmm, that is gonna be tough.. core stabilty, with that counterweight around my core.. But let's start with my head position first tomorrow.. i do think i am looking down, but maybe not enough.. and the catch is also in need of improvement.. i know i use my ars aswell to move water, but not even close to what i think you are talking about.. that is gonna feel weird i think, just got to get through the hard part.. And i thought i was ok with my head with breathing. I breath every 3 strokes to not move my head too much.. so i wonder what is happening when i start to do this "natural way of body turning when reaching out the arm" as i usually do bilateral breathing. Thx for the tips

though I am watching it on sitting in a desk are we supposed to be watching it on a swimming pool??

Love this. My kid's USA swim coaches don't even go into this much detail. This is more like the clinics we send him too.

"The water is 800 times more dense than air" is the swimmer equivalent of "the midochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"
This nice
Yea, midodochondria in the Dodo which have gone extinct
Mitochondria*

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us beginners!🤩
This by far the best video that ever exist about explaining how to swim
Thank you very much for your clear & detailed tutorial on freestyle. With these key points, I believed my skills should improve & make a happier swimmer😊
I think this is the only vedio where i came across class room teaching on board, which is very easy to understand the body mechanics behind swimming.
Phantastic slow-motion and clear teaching. Showing the aesthetic art of easy swimming and coming into the flow with water.
Sorry for my english. I‘m german
Thanks for watching
Full and adequate explanation, thank you sir 🙏
Manny thank for your best infomation and technic advice 🎉
This is pure gold, trying to learn how to swim @ 45…thx for the tips!

This is so helpful. After scouring dozens of tutorials on YT and downloading a few apps, this is everything. Thank you!
Thank you bro, I am also facing the same difficulty. I will try to follow your instructions
This is PERFECT tutorial! Thank you!
I am trying to fix my freestyle skills, and your video is awesome. Keep it up! 🏊🏻♀️

Just got back from pool where I practiced what Fares has tought. Wow I swim more relax and more speed! Thanks a bunch coach Fares!
Absolutely the best video explanation for freestyle I haver seen and I am 76!! TY
I just only yesterday learned freestyle it was like EUREKA - its so easy .

This is the best advertisement for the app, really convinced me to give it a try
exactly what i was looking for , just started to swim again after 50 years
old, gray haired
best video explaining it properly i have seen so far. wish I could understand the feet part better though
1st view ! Thanks Fares, that's definitely gonna help a lot of people like me, how want to take their freestyle further !
Thank you very much! It's very good. Best teacher ever!!!
First test to find out if you have enough stability and balance: can you float in streamline?
Wow what a great video. Because I have some shoulder issues sometimes I use open hands to alleviate the pressure in the shoulder .... I have difficulties keeping the body position when I breath. I will try these drills.
Fares, your tips really help improve my swimming technique. And yeah, water is 800 times more dense than air ;-)

Just keep practicing breathing consistently and you'll get better. Make sure you're also blowing out air when you're underwater.
It is different when someone really explain the reasons and whys, I have never understood why to do a short drill swimming with my hands closed now I see the reason , makes sense.
Thank you for the detailed but easy to follow explanations. Which swimming watch do you recommend for someone with a small budget?
This swimming style is the best for physical fitting and workout.It's good for older folks and those with joint issues who may have joint and ankle pains running on the treadmill or exercising on a stationary bike.But it can be indoors😂

question for the group: why did they change all 4 strokes to include butterfly in each one?
you didn't used to be allowed to do butterfly in freestyle and backstroke, and you had to keep your head and neck rigid in breaststroke, not bobbing like a dolphin's.
Very fast good video ❤
