[@kaiayasse71]

My swimming career was about 7 years long and at one point I was one of Norway’s best swimmers for my age group, I know this video is old but if anybody is reading this I can say this to anyone who is trying to get better now, swimming is hard. and it takes a lot of practice to get really comfortable doing it. But eventually it becomes as easy as walking. My tips becoming better at freestyle are take it slow, breath with one eye over the surface of the water, strokes shouldn’t be right beneath your chest; your arm should be at a ninety degree angle with your hand flat. And your kicks don’t need to be super fast or slow just make sure that they are comfortable in the background that way you can focus on other things. Those are not tips to be a pro, they are tips for beginners.

[@speedybasket5205]

Thanks man this helped a lot

[@jaydenhill4399]

As a national level swimmer myself I can say this is great advice for beginners and people trying to get into swimming!

[@cubicacre]

Oh dang good job man

[@benshiotsu8553]

I swim competitively and in the ocean, your stroke just starts to fall apart due to the cold. Sometimes in the ocean, one or two breaths head up every now and then can really help correct stroke. Also, to get over cold shock, put you feet in the water for a bit before swimming. This is only needed in ocean because the pool is warm enough. However these tips are good for beginners.

Bobby Halick if he gets a tv show with the right channel, he can have a much higher quality of a video in less time. Meaning more videos but better quality.

[@bobbyhalick]

@@dabdotnet nope-eroni.net, maybe at the most KZbin original funding or a brand deal budget could allow for more expensive ideas though. Not that Mike couldn't make an amazing TV show, but you almost certainly would get less content. Making TV is 10x slower and involves hundreds more people. Mike's videos are special because HE'S the one making the content, it's personal. He could make a great TV show with the right network / team, but it wouldn't (and shouldn't) be like his KZbin channel, and just because it's on TV wouldn't make it better content. Production value and money isn't the only thing that makes quality art. Careful what you wish for!

[@juliorafa5060]

[@ethanross6157]

As a swimmer, it's best to jump in to cold water and if you practice, you can stay calm and not hyperventilate. It also helps if you move really fast once you are in to acclimatize faster.

[@sveagol7155]

As also a swimmer I can say: if you have problems with your hearth, go in the water slowly. Otherwise you risk your live

What sets "ti" apart from just basic efficient swimming technique. Your improvement can be attributed entirely to learning a few key basic techniques

[@tykato]

Mike, you are an inspiration. I'm quite fit all around, but water has always been my nemesis. I've been wanting to do long cold water swims for quite some time now but never got around to do it. This video has inspired me to finally get off my ass and start training for it.

[@VienerSchnitzel69]

Make sure to be super careful man. I had a friend with me doing basically this in Newport Beach, CA in the Junior Lifeguards program when I was younger. It's called the monster mile. On the day we did it, the water was very cold, a little less than 55 degrees F. My friend had very low body fat, unlike myself with pretty average, so when he did it, something realllly bad happened. According to him, about halfway through the swim when the lifeguard said, "halfway down, halfway to go," he just doesn't remember from then on. When we got to the end of the mile, instead of swimming to shore he started swimming in medium-sized circles. The guards went out and grabbed him and brought him to shore. He was literally purple, and he couldn't speak or really do anything. They wrapped him in towels and put warm sand all around him. The next thing he said he remembers was when he woke up in the hospital covered in burning hot blankets while shivering uncontrollably. His lowest recorded body temp out of the water was in the 70's degrees F. You're normal body temp is 98 degrees F and death can occur below 70. Hypothermia is a scary thing folks.

[@tykato]

Thanks for the warning!

you are trying to swim 25 meters while i can't swim at all

[@paranolverizer]

Ive swam about 2 miles at a go in a little bit less than room temperature sea water but this . This would be crazy hard to do if i dont get used to the water temperature like he did .

[@cubrakadabra]

I swam about a mile in 22-25 degree seawater against the current and it destroyed me, I could barely move the next day. On the plus side, swimming back, I nearly didn't have to move how strong the current was

When u first got in the harbor my body started a warm tingling all over!

[@adamjansson7146]

Standing in a 21°C shower will be experienced as way colder than swimming in 21°C water as the shower water constantly will be evaporating, using heat energy from your body. That's why you'll cold when getting out of a shower. When fully enveloped in water, it will not behave this way and therefore not be experienced as cold

[@cubrakadabra]

A 21 degree shower is dope, not even cold

[@jetison333]

Yeah but there's a lot more water when you swim

[@Panic_Pickle]

It’ll feel cold because water is way more heat conductive than air, so it’ll absorb your heat much faster than the air.

[@adamjansson7146]

Yes, that as well

[@hermanhelmich]

Exposed in swimming water you will lose temp 25/30 times faster

Cold showers and baths are great and have loads of benefits, great for you hair and if you have oily skin ,recovering muscles,you barely ever feel cold anymore (save on your heating bills lol),burn more fat through thermogenesis and provide you with a euphoric feeling that has been proven to help depression ! If you haven't tried them your missing out!

when you get in the water if you take your time and breathe deeply for about a min slowly easing your body into the water you will get used to the cold and it is a lot safer in extremely cold conditions. Helps prevent you from going into shock
