Excellent demonstration of how to communicate: a clear focus on what you deliver, no wasted words and good judgement of what the learner can absorb.

Thank you, returned to swimming again years after a frightening drowning episode in rough sea. By following your advice and teaching my swimming has definitely improved. Usually swim three styles (except butterfly which I find very energy consuming). Full turns are still a problem, I suppose I should learn to do them quickly but still scared of not being quick enough, although just swimming underwater is OK. Anyway always grateful and happy to find your new clips and videos. Kate

I enjoy this channel so much. Always great content.

Great tips. For the past two years my only goal was to get comfortable in the water doing the front crawl. I'm a triathlete and I just wanted to finish the swim. Now it is time to change things up to increase speed. I'm throwing the ego out the window and going to do more swim drills and do not care what Strava says. Might even drop the watch because I'm sure my body will record what I have done. Cheers

More great tips. Always appreciate your advice 🙏

Thanks for these really helpful suggestions!

Fantastic and practical discussion, Thank you!

Thanks for sharing those as always super valuable advice

Your teaching is very simple & easy to implement. Hello from India

Thanks for your sharing

Great advice i love your videos. Doctor always say don't bent because I have problems with my spinal so is it ok to me to do flip turn?

Good content - do you have a link to stretches or exercises for #4?

At 64, I feel keeping the same speed, for 20 years, is actually improving. Can’t kick, or push off hard, because of knees and hips, and any other stroke, but freestyle, so many broken bones! I can only dream of extra speed!

Aww B I’m focused on bilateral breathing. I can feel my legs dropping during a left hand breath , which leads to panic . Started 2 weeks ago. To be honest it’s gotten worse, but I’m so determined to get this ( such a rookie ) . I only noticed the issue because over the past few vids and a podcast or two , you mentioned’ get a feel for the water’ . Well … it showed up a few things and the breathing to the left sucked and I need it for balance and timing . Well that’s one thing there r others 😢😅

1. Train another stroke 2. Change the way you're training 3. Be diligent with your skills. 4. Be supple (mobility) 5. Join a squad or a group 6. Go low tech (smart watch, goggle etc. 7. Be calm under pressure (relax and lower heart rate) 8. Committing to a swim block 9. Pick one thing and stick to it for 3 months 10. Get professional help

Thanks!

Let me know when you want to come to Seattle and teach. I'll send word through my PNW masters network and can help you connect.

Sorry - but there is one piece of "advice" that's more important than ALL 10 of these combined .... no long warm up non-sense - just 10 min of "feel the water " then 4x25 absolute max speed - timed by a coach ... I know - I rarely ever see coaches timing anything with an actual stop watch - HORRIBLE !! There is nothing more important even for distance swimmers...
