-look down or at an angle -rotate stomach side to side per each stroke (to prevent shoulder injuries) -kick from hips with straight , not bent legs -pull straight during your breath break -don’t breathe late and breathe out slowly

This video will make you think you've learned how to swim already, but the pool will say otherwise later.

The more swimming videos I watch the more confident I get in swim class

Out of all the videos I’ve watched about doing this stroke properly, this was by FAR the most helpful! Thank you!!

I was naturally acquiring some swimming techniques in freestyle as I was paying attention to details. Glad to see it being validated in this video.

Freestyle is probably as difficult as learning the piano...and I've done both! Breathing, kicking, turning, rotating, center of balance....etc. I've been swimming for many years but still have so much to learn - like the piano!!!

Thank you for this. I am 55 years old and just learned to swim about 2 years ago in adult swimming lessons. I swim 3-4 times a week now and although some individuals at the pool say I have gotten so much better and faster there is always room for improvement. I noticed from your video about swimming flat and I do have that habit and believe it or not...just like you said...I've had some problems out of my left shoulder. I thought I must be catching the water too hard, but this makes me realize I wasn't rotating.

My main problem is that I run out of breath after the first lap and I already need to take a break to breath, meanwhile everyone around me just keep going and going non stop like it's no big deal, and I'm just trying not to pass out. when I try to swim slower to reduce intensity, It becomes harder not to sink. I need some serious tips

Training for my 12th Ironman, and worth viewing, Thanks for making the effort to film, edit and post this.

Thank you!!! Getting back into swimming and really need to tighten up my form. I think if I work on what you have here it'll help a lot.

This was a good video! As a competitive swimmer I say this video is spot on. "Easiest stroke to learn, most difficult to master" - Agreed. It seems super easy and then you realize, to gain seconds it is about technique 75%+ and strength

Excellent video. I've been making most of these mistakes for years. I knew the stroke didn't feel right but I didn't know how to sort it out. All this makes perfect sense. Thank you so much, I'll bookmark this video and work on the stroke

One of the best videos I've seen on improving the forward stroke. If you could elaborate more on the breathing part that would be immensely helpful.

Thank you! Your tip of rotating solved my breathing timing!

Surprisingly very helpful! I'm actually a bit irritated now, since for PhysEd in highschool, I had swimming at the teacher instructed us to look forward while we swam rather than look directly below us. Thanks for this. I always used to struggle with breathing : )

Exactly the mistakes I'd been making. Learned many things. Thanks for the video. Highly appreciated.

Great tips. I love the recap list at the end of the video. I figured out my mistakes now. Thanks

PERFECT video! You can't explain swimming any clearer than she just did. heading to the pool to practice haha

Thanks i was looking forward and swimming with flat stamoch this was adding resistance...after watching this my swimming improved....

I made all but two of these mistakes, and I actually improved my swimming a lot, thanks to this video.

wow I had to search through a ton of videos b4 I found one that makes sense. this video was very helpful indeed. well done!

Good instruction, summarize most of the mistakes I've made before.

My coach : *shows us this video Me : watches video in my own time to review over what happened My coach : why don’t you trust me

I suppose ! am a "self taught" swimmer, as it's been decades since I took lessons. I was doing many of these mistakes! After the correction, it trimmed noticeable strokes off my laps and I find that I'm suddenly across the pool way faster while remaining much less fatigued. Thank you so much!

i have my swimming training today .. i will try to apply some of the tips i watched .. thanks for the clear demonstration of the tips

One of the best videos I've seen on improving the forward stroke.

Thank you for sharing the technique of coorect freestyle swimming. I believe and confidently apply the joy of swimming. What beautiful and graceful swimming demonstration.

This video has been so helpful. All the way from Kenya i have learn t so much especially about not swimming straight,i am still to master my breathing techniques but i am getting there. Loving Swimming....

Thank you! That was very useful.

Very useful! Thank you!

I am learning swimming as natural, no coach available here. I did all 5 mistakes in my early stages, I am practicing to fix the issues with help of other friends and working on it. If you would not teach us I would be wrong for ever and ever. thank you for be a good coach for me.

Excelente las tomas debajo del agua.muchas gracias

This was actually really helpful.

Great video - thank you. I've just started having adult swimming lessons & these tips will really help !

Thank u. This fixed my life long swimming mistakes

I was making all the mistake very good video helped me a lot

Nice technique I can watch this all day :)

These simple tips helped me enormously. I was a terrible swimmer. Now I'm less terrible!!

Great video. Thanks. I'll use this. Hi from 🇬🇧

very supportive I have that problem of bending my legs now am going to work on it. Thanks

Been tryna go down in the water every morning and night now, thanks for the tips. Lovin the tuts

Thanks to this video, my freestyle swimming got a LOT faster after correcting my technique. I just got work on my breathing and timing.

This is actually quite informative!

Very clear and easy to understand to the point, I am so THANKFUL!

I love you. Thanks for this tip

Another one is slapping the water with your hands

Helped me a lot!

Wow, thanks for endorsing the things I managed to figure out myself since I got back into swimming after a decades-long break. Actually, it's the first time I've taken my swimming seriously. In addition to the points in the video, one other thing I try to do is to synchronise my kicks with my arms. I do big, full-leg kicks and they seem to sync well with the opposite limb, so as my right arm comes over, I kick with my left leg. In other words, their rhythm is the same. I'm sure this makes a huge difference, but would be interested to hear if that makes sense to any swimming coaches out there.

I. Wish. I. Had. A. Fucking. Pool.

Thanks a whole lot I'm 12 and I have been swimming for 8 yrs now this will really help young swimmers like me.😎😎😀😀😀

Amazing video, thank you. :)

When I was in swimming school nobody told me about body rotation but I have checked youtube and learned a lot. :)

Simple yet great video.easy to understand

Very helpful! Just what I was looking for!

At last I found one video making some sense to struggler like me. Good job.

Hey you just awesome ...I started going to pool without knowing swimming .... I tried to swim by so called swimmers. They told me to do strokes by leg and hand propelling ... but I was thinking some thing is extremely wrong.... Now I have tried your technique .. I am feeling awesome in water while free style swim....

I need to fix every thing coz I dont know how to swim in the first place... 😂 But thanks for these tips.. I will definitely try them out this summer 😊😊

Thank you so much!!! I just started a couple weeks ago and felt like I was doing everything wrong!

this video was so helpful to me

Brilliant. I'm a beginner. The breathing and the rotation are areas I have to work on. Also my kick, which is rubbish. Thanks again

Good. Clear, simple & effective. Well done

One of the best videos 👍

Awesome video. Thanks 👍🏻

Very informative video. Had no idea your face is supposed to go down and that you should rotate your body during each stroke. Thank you! I'm self taught and I just go to the pool and try and mimic others.

fantastic video..finally a summary of proper freestyle. thanks

Good tutorial on common mistakes. Was very helpful and useful.
