Face floor, half head above waterline, one eye and ear underwater when breathing, arms at 1:00 and 11:00 when swimming, enter water with middle finger, extend on movement with shoulder, when you pull back pull with everything in your arm and shoulder, flutter kick;foot pointed straight short fast? Body rotates side to side to maximize stroke, stretch as far as needed

Swimming is amazing. I’ve been an athlete my whole life but never learned how to swim. I just started taking lessons and it wasn’t until swimming that I truly properly learned how to control my breathing. A great help indeed.

Underwater audio is a great idea. No less than three times have I been disturbed by somebody drowning. Each time I felt compelled to help. Had I had underwater audio, I would’ve been none the wiser and able to complete my workout uninterrupted.

Thank you! This video was awesome and I swam 100 laps within 2 hours and 8 minutes from watching it.

I need one step before. I struggle to breath out under water and rapidly breathe in in a short time above water without getting water in my mouth nose etc., occasionaly choking or getting air in my stomach etc. Is that not something beginners struggle with? :D

I just got back into swimming and this helped a lot!

Super helpful tips if you don't have a coach or a team!

[Gutisusa]

Thank you. I always learn from your videos. I learned as an adult so I am always working on it ! I want to start using your app on my watch and follow a plan.

[lizcotton]

[farter]

My newly redone community pool stays open year around regardless of weather except lightning. I get to lap swim everyday at a lovely 80 degree water temp. Today its 47 degrees outside & raining. I can’t wait to get to the pool! 😃 This was a big part of why I retired early at 57. The golden years aren’t golden if you’re stressed out by idiot managers, 3 hr a day commutes & office drama. Bedsides all that, swimmers have beautiful bodies & are healthier than most people in the gym. Life is good!!🏊‍♀️☁️🌧️🌞👍🏽🩱👙

I wish my pool would give us a lane each, looks amazing! We have slow, medium and fast lanes basically

Hi there. I do not understand the the arm entry at 11 and 1 o clock. Can you add more detail please?

I'm having difficulty mastering breathing while swimming freestyle. I don't seem to be inhaling enough. Are there any practices that would help with this? Thanks.

I just recently Joined a gym with a lap pool and wanted to learn how to freestyle correctly. I’m noticing many bad habits I need to correct. I tend to forget to kick, I have a fear of sucking in water so I lift my head to breath (not like your video) and I haven’t got the hip roll thing down yet. Do you roll your hip With your shoulders? Great tips; thanks
