Freestyle Swimming tutorial. Hands. Part 1. How to improve your Freestyle Swim Technique | Beginners

This is part 1 of a series of video swimming freestyle video tutorials on how to improve your swimming technique.
I will talk about the different parts of the body while swimming.

On this first part I talk about the extremely important movements of the hands while swimming the freestyle stroke, otherwise known as crawl stroke. I give tips about what it should actually physically feel like to swim properly. The best practices and most efficient movements. The tutorial has content about how to improve your stroke, assuming you already know how to, at least, move through the water.

These tips and techniques will work best to help you improve dramatically your stroke if you do two things:
1- Focus on one thing at a time
2- Practice until you dominate that thing and move to the next.

I'm not a competitive swimmer and feel very comfortable in water as I had a pool in my house growing up. However, I am starting to use lap swimming as exercise and was shocked at how inefficient I was. Your videos made a huge difference in my stroke and endurance today!

[meganhirschi]

Learning to swim is so often behind large paywalls. Thank you for helping us and putting this out there!

[doreenlewis]

my granddaughters go to swimming club and have an idea on stroke but this video shows it all much clearer and easy to understand, grateful granny

[luiscervantes]

THANK YOU for all these videos!!! I just started swimming again after 5 years and forgot most of my technique :( but this helps a lot!! Please upload more, greetings from Mexico!

[shanasakai]

Any sport requires you to develop your kinesthetic intelligence in order to improve.
어떤 종목의 운동이건 향상하기 위해서는 운동감각지능(kinesthetic intelligence)을 개발해야만 합니다.

3
00:00:19, 900 --> 00:00:22, 640
KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE = The ability to solve problems using one's body.
운동감각지능 = 문제를 해결하기 위해 신체를 이용하는 능력

4
00:00:22, 840 --> 00:00:24, 320
So let's get started with the basics.
그럼 기본적인 것들에서부터 시작하겠습니다.

5
00:00:24, 400 --> 00:00:26, 400
1. Focus on the tip of your fingers.
1. 손가락 끄트머리에 집중하십시요.

6
00:00:27, 080 --> 00:00:29, 480
This part of your hand is extremely sensitive.
이 부분은 감각이 굉장히 예민합니다.

7
00:00:29, 560 --> 00:00:32, 260
Use this to your advantage as you improve your stroke.
이 점을 이용해서 영법을 향상시키십시요.

8
00:00:32, 260 --> 00:00:34, 760
When you swim, feel how the water moves through them.
헤엄치면서, 손가락 끄트머리 사이를 물이 어떻게 지나가는 지 느끼십시요.

9
00:00:34, 940 --> 00:00:36, 620
2. Make a smooth entry and glide.
2. 손의 입수를 매끄럽게 하여 활강하십시요.

10
00:00:37, 020 --> 00:00:42, 620
In order to swim and not exert unnecessary energy, it is important to keep your momentum with the least amount of effort.
불필요한 에너지를 쓰지 않으면서 헤엄치기 위해서는, 최소한의 노력만으로 타력(관성을 일으키는 힘)을 유지하는 것이 중요합니다.

11
00:00:42, 620 --> 00:00:46, 000
The tips of your fingers must enter the water before anything else.
다른 어떤 것보다 먼저 손가락 끄트머리가 물 속에 먼저 들어가야 합니다.

12
00:00:46, 580 --> 00:00:53, 360
Once the whole arm is in, you should reach and stretch, gliding about 4 inches or 10 cm under the surface of the water.
일단 팔 전체가 들어가고 나면, 수면 약 4 인치 즉 10 센티미터 아래에서 활강시키면서, 쭉 늘리면서 뻗어야 합니다.

13
00:00:53, 820 --> 00:00:58, 320
This will ensure that you are not causing a lot of resistance while keeping your shoulder relaxed.
이렇게 하면 확실히, 어깨는 편하게 두면서도 저항을 많이 일으키지는 않게 됩니다.

14
00:00:59, 300 --> 00:01:01, 320
3. Master the three parts of the pull.
3. 젓기의 세 구간을 숙달하십시요.

15
00:01:01, 800 --> 00:01:05, 120
The first part of the pull is very important. It has two purposes.
젓기의 첫번째 구간은 매우 중요합니다. 두 가지 목적이 있습니다.

16
00:01:05, 120 --> 00:01:08, 500
1. It will give you a push upwards to keep your body close to the surface.
1. 몸을 수면 가까이 띄우는, 위로 미는 힘이 생기게 합니다.

17
00:01:08, 500 --> 00:01:11, 060
2. It will start the momentum of the pull.
2. 젓는 힘의 타력이 생기게 합니다.

18
00:01:11, 540 --> 00:01:15, 960
To do this, it is important that the hand faces down and back at a 45 degree angle.
이를 위해서는, 손바닥이 45도 각도로 뒤를 향하는 것이 중요합니다.

19
00:01:17, 640 --> 00:01:20, 460
The second part is where most of the speed will be generated.
두번째 구간에서는 속력의 대부분이 만들어집니다.

20
00:01:20, 560 --> 00:01:24, 600
Focus on using your hand as a paddle and move the most amount of water on this direction.
손을 마치 노처럼 사용하여 물의 대부분을 이 방향으로 움직이게 하는 데 집중하십시요.

21
00:01:26, 700 --> 00:01:29, 180
The final part of the pull is very underrated.
젓기의 마지막 구간은 매우 과소평가되었습니다.

22
00:01:29, 180 --> 00:01:34, 800
But if you focus on finishing the stroke with a solid push, you will have an advantage and your hand will be ready for the recovery.
하지만 확실히 밀면서 젓는 것을 마무리하는 데 집중한다면, 손을 되돌리기 위해 준비하는 데 유리할 것입니다.

23
00:01:34, 840 --> 00:01:36, 640
4. Keep a relaxed recovery.
4. 되돌리기는 느긋하게 하십시요.

24
00:01:36, 980 --> 00:01:39, 100
Keep your hand relaxed during the recovery.
되돌릴 때는 손을 쉬게 하세요.

25
00:01:40, 760 --> 00:01:43, 820
While one hand is gliding, the other is recovering.
한 손이 활강하는 동안, 다른 손은 되돌리는 중입니다.

26
00:01:44, 380 --> 00:01:47, 740
The pull starts just before the other hand recovers completely.
다른 손이 되돌리기를 마치기 직전에 (활강하던 손의) 젓기가 시작됩니다.

27
00:01:48, 820 --> 00:01:51, 060
Depending on the distance, it might change a little.
시합하는 거리에 따라서, 이 부분은 조금 달라질 수 있습니다.

28
00:01:51, 060 --> 00:01:53, 580
For example, in a sprint race you don't need to glide.
예를 들어, 단거리 경주에서는 활강할 필요가 없습니다.

29
00:01:53, 580 --> 00:01:56, 280
But for basic training, this is a good way to swim.
하지만 기본적인 훈련을 위해서라면, 활강하면서 수영하는 것이 좋은 방법입니다.

30
00:01:56, 660 --> 00:01:57, 380
Remember!
기억하세요!

31
00:01:57, 600 --> 00:01:58, 960
1. Focus on the tip of your fingers.
1. 손가락 끄트머리에 집중하세요.

32
00:01:58, 960 --> 00:02:00, 400
2. Make a smooth entry and glide.
2. 손의 입수를 매끄럽게 하여 활강하십시요.

33
00:02:00, 400 --> 00:02:02, 460
3. Master the three parts of the pull.
3. 젓기의 세 구간을 숙달하십시요.

34
00:02:02, 460 --> 00:02:04, 040
4. Keep a relaxed recovery.
4. 되돌리기는 느긋하게 하십시요.

35
00:02:04, 960 --> 00:02:06, 840
