Great!!

A cisti muito seus vídeos,quando estava apresentando o nado,obrigado professora!!

Thank you! Really useful tips! I wish I'd seen this video before my first open water (and panic attack) swim!

Excellent!

Always swim across the water and never at oncoming waves. Not obvious unless you've been told. Dont swim where you can't stand, at least you can go under water dig hands and feet into the sea bed by frog squatting and leap back into a direction with enough force to help you start over. Warm up and walk in slowly to adjust temperature. Even shallow water has a tremendous force especially if you are fatigued, short of breath, get water in the lung from a wave. If you're being bashed by waves don't fight it submerge kick roll and turn on to back. Small waves are dangerous, water is dangerous full stop. Bring a waterproof bag that acts as a buoy.

Absolutely agree with others - this is the best video I've found to help with my open water swimming 🏊‍♂️ THANK YOU!! Looking for more ..

"Sighting" would have been a good mention. It's wise to periodically look ahead. Otherwise, I miss my escapees from Alcatraz. Much love from Lake Ontario!

Nice ❤

Awesome video. Thanks for all the hard work in putting it together. Appreciated.

Thank you❤

Best advice, thank you! 😊 🏊‍♀️

THANK YOU IT IS LIFE SAVER !!

I breath thru my snorkel (coc k)

Best video on sighting 👌

I dont swim at all but I have a challenge for charity to swim 750m in the open water in 14 Sep 2024. So this is the first video I liked. I am going to start with this. This is Day 1 for me.

Thank you very much, you just answered all the questions I had in mind, it helps me a lot, it's difficult to find all these tips and answers in one video, thank you!

The suggestions for breathing drills are really wonderful. Thank you!

Hey Thanks Leslie!

helpful

thanks for the tips! i've been going swimming the past few days and was getting frustrated by my faulty breathing. I used to swim a lot as a child and was surprised that i'd lost the habbit of doing what you explained in the video. It was very annoying for me since I knew that I was physically capable of doing it right, but had a mental block (I panicked because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to reach my goal with sufficient breath. I'm trying again tomorrow with your advice in mind!

Thank you!

Nice...Nowadays you are not adding videos? Please add. Thanks.

I mostly just swim on my back, that solves a lot of breathing issues, lol. I guess if you're swimming competitively you need to do the front crawl for speed, but I just swim for pleasure, so I'm not restricted in that way. Side stroke is also good for breathing continuously. Back swimming and side swimming also keep your eyes in the water less.

out of at least a dozen videos i have watched, no body talked about these drills and taking rests and breathers in open water like this. Super practical. Thanks a ton

2:45 “spit don’t swallow when it comes in your mouth” …. LMAO

Beware Leslie a Hungry Great White is nearby!!

Thank you for these tips! Have always wondered how one can stay in water for long! I have been swimming in the pool but still have no confidence in open water swimming 😩

My left ear really enjoyed this video

this vid is 12 years old, today was my first time taking on really choppy water, and even now, this vid is very real and relevant to me. thank you for making this vid. i think that mental element is a good one. especially when swimming alone, but also swimming with mates help as well.

Thank you so much, Leslie! These are wonderful tips before I try swimming in the sea for the first time this year! :)

Thanks alot 😊😊😊
