My struggle is breathing when I try to keep my head horizontal. I feel like I use too much energy turning my head to get air. Love the tips you're giving.

Thank you great instruction will be following for more video. You helped me correct head position because I used to sink looking up unstead of downwards. Furthermore I struggle with hand movement.

I think I need to practice swimming more often, and need to find a pool in metro.. I hope this video will help me. I love how you show arm pulling while standing at the pool, this is what I need. And I need to practice kicking to make myself comfortable in the water. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Hi Joe, I am just in beginning of my training. I am 41 man and I usually like to play tennis a lot and weight lifting. I train 7-8hour /week 4h tennis 4h weight lifting. I been feeling lots of heelpain and shoulder pain from tennis so my goal is to swim as rehab. I am now on my 4hour learning freestyle 🤣. I started with laying on top of water like a ball holding my knees with my arms exhale out all air and sink to bortom of the pool (get the feeling of what happens to body after exhale) Press from the bottom up to the surface breath in above surfa breathe out under surface repeat 6x. Next excersize i lie on side and hold my both hands parallell to my legs and only kick 2-3x then breath 8*25m the goal here is to only to fokus on breathing without using hands, 3 drill I try to swim with 3 stroke freestyle then breath but I get tired, I Think reason is I exhale true mouth and not nose and also sometimes I feel stressed out when it is time to inhale I exhale I need to take is easier slow down the process 🤣. When i feel exhausted I turn on back inhale turn back to normal position. Breathing is most difficult I need to learn how to fill up air to diafragma 70% and take big inhale only smal but control the breathing. Breathing is the most difficult part. I FIGURE out that heavy breathing is causing stress and stiffness in body. I need to be relaxed all time and listen for the sound I find it also difficult to bend forearm. I saw you tip drag fingers on surfa e 👍

Love this channel. I was breathing out using my mouth, and changed after watching your videos and it definitely has helped immensely.I currently am struggling to get my head out to get some air when breathing freestyle.

[ajaysahuwala]

sir your explanations are very clear, loving the tips you share

[robohippy]

Well, I settled on a breathing pattern a long time ago, which is every other arm stroke. I did pretty much completely change my arm pull about a year ago, mostly due to 2 videos, one from Effortless swimming about getting full extension, and one from Swim Skills about 'shoulder shrug'. I had always thought I was getting a full extension, but after watching the one video, realized that I could still extend more without starting to snake through the water. The shoulder shrug one made me realize that I was starting to use my shoulder, back, and lats as soon as I started my catch. Proper way is to do the catch, then the 'set up' as the Effortless Swimming guy does, which is mostly getting your forearm vertical, and then engaging all the shoulder, back and lat muscles. It really changed my stroke. Still having to work on it though. Too many years of not swimming it correctly.

Thank you Joe for the awesome tips. Looking at this I found the mistake I'm making.
1. My legs drag cos I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward cos I'm watching my arm pull.
2. I need to do the movements without obsessing to see it for myself.
3. I'm definitely going to practice the finger drag drill.
Thank you for the awesome video 🙌
