I watched this video and went from doggy paddle to swimming 2 miles freestyle in 1h 20min in a single session. Took just a little over a month. I'm close to the size of the guy in the video. Watching someone my size do this was life changing! Thank you thank you thank you!

I am 58 almost 59 years old and I started learning to swim last October and just love it!!! I'm still learning more and more every day. Im just having a hard time catching on to the breathing part. With more and more practice, I will eventually get it. Swimming has helped me so much with my knees. I was in constant pain until I got in the water on a regular basis. I recommend swimming to anybody with joint problems.

I’m only 37 minutes into the video. I tried some of the stuff out (look at the ground, chin above forehead, pineapple rolls, look behind when breathing, etc.). After half a lifetime of frustration it was like a breakthrough. Huge lightbulb went on. I began lapping my old self, immediately. FYI this is my first YouTube comment ever.

Bro im 40 year old male from malaysia.. just started swimming and i must say your instruction videos top notch man.. easy to understand and to follow and it works!! 😂😂 .. thanks man

[soramame]

I love the pointers you mention. How much air to keep in the lungs. Don’t hold your breath during the drills. Take a breath before you need it. Chin higher than your forehead. These are the sayings that are helpful that the average teachers don’t mention. You help a lot of people with what you do. I love this video.

I've learnt more watching this video than I have had of nearly a year of 1 hour swimming lessons, kind of makes me angry, amazing job.

[soha]

As someone who learned swimming only in her 20s and been an occasional swimmer, I could never finish only one 25m lap of freestyle without being out of breath and exhausted. This video saved me. Today I could swim 200 m with minimum rest. It was such an improvement for me. Thank you for such helpful video. I’m grateful 😊

[depiculous]

Congratulations Mark! As a forty-late swim learner, I'm so proud of you!

[williamchristmas]

Your coaching style is so positive and encouraging. I feel motivated to keep working on my swimming skills after watching this video.

[adelboushib]

I am 43 yo just started my swimming course alone, I've struggled a lot to improve my techniques in breathing until I came across your videos, that's awesome, I went straight to the pool and practised your advices, now I can say I know how to swim. Keep the great job up dude

[Igobrunette]

I’m 40 years old learning how to swim and so far this is the BEST video!!

[michaelodonoghue]

Loving this channel, this guy has smashed his learning. Just started my self as a 39yr old guy scared of the water and anytime I can’t feel the floor I just panic, had 3 lessons so far and making massive strides already and can’t wait to use tips from this video to help

[alexis-uroh]

recently became a swim instructor and this helps me so much when it comes to small details that the curriculum we have doesn’t cover. rocket swimming knows what’s up. also jonny’s passion and vibe remind me how cool my job is

[dineshangolkar]

This video is amazing... helped me unlearn mistakes I did since my childhood days. Man.. thanks for this video 😊

[mr.laceduppp]

Im learning to swim at the Y as an adult and i learned so much more here than i did there it makes me eager to get back in the water and not be as afraid

[gloriasaliba]

I am a beginner swimmer and have learnt so much from your videos - greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[nambalirwasharifah]

Your the best coach I have ever seen oooh my coach who taught me swimming was too fake but here with you coach Rockets I have learnt quickly

[solozuccabar]

I'm 57 years old and keeping learning swimming, your method of teaching very simple and professional thanks coach for your instructive videos.

[tatianaorr]

This is a brilliant video. I’m so glad I found it. I’m 55 and I always thought I knew how to swim until I realised I was just floating about in the water! I’ve just started taking swimming seriously and so keen to learn. Thanks to your video I’m starting to practice the correct technique. Thank you !
