[@chickenofthecave1406]

Swimming is such a mental sport. More so than all others because you don’t have your teammates to help you get through. I’ve played and done many sports in my time, and they’re all difficult in their own ways. But in each one, your teammates can push you to keep going in a workout. But with swim, it’s only you. Your teammate can’t tell you to keep going and support you in the middle of a hard set. You have to push through on your own. It is up to you. Its so much harder to rely on yourself to get through these things. Which is why swimming is the hardest sport by far

[@elizabethwarry2873]

Someone who gets it!!!

[@julielepage1315]

Your not kidding I'm at the beginning of my swimming journey. I have had 4 lessons so far and at the age of 59 it's possibly even harder. So I shall stick at it. I wonder why it is only since I was on My summer holiday in August with family. That I decided to take swimming seriously.

I found your letter inspiring,as I have recently started swimming because of a trip to the Bahamas to go snorkeling,I remembered the last time I was active in snorkeling I would tire easily.So I watched so vids,and started practicing learning strokes and such.Im 44 and sometimes I feel foolish as I look like a fish out of water,and seeing actual swimmers swim I really feel it.But when I'm done flailing I do feel the workout and I SEE results if the last few weeks,so that motivated me to get a powerbreather by ameo and that is such a help since I'm not a strong swimmer yet I experience issues with keeping my head up. Your letter speaks to the guy that LOVES the water and lives in Florida,but spent years being lazy and not active.Thanks for your words and your spirit.You gained a sub and I will put your vids to good use

Just want to say: BIG thank you. Last march I couldn't swim. At all. But because L5S1 I have to swim to improve my condition. So I went to youtube and remember the first video that got me to today is yours: smooth freestyle. So then I bought center snorkel. I put 4-5 days a month and force myself to fear of water. Started to put 4-5 days a week last July and went from 9mins/100m to 4mins/100m, 1000m last september. Then I decided to brace it and learn breathing. Drank so much of chlorine water. But today I got 1:50/100m without snorkel with reduced distance around 300m each session (tired arms). Will have to build endurance with breathing, so much to learn yet. So excited with how I manage my back condition, and looking back this year is a good year for me. Personnal achievement. Again, thank you.

This is straight up my life. I get up at 5am to go to the pool before school starts at 7:30.

Other people will say, “I had to get up at 5:30 this morning because my dad wanted to leave early.” My response is always. I got up a 5 am after my cat woke me up 30 min before and worked out in the pool for 40-60 min and then got ready in 30 min and got to school 5 min before the final bell rang. I have you beet

[@mr.meeseeks5127]

I mean it's cool but it's pretty patronizing the way you worded everything. "Normal people?" is pretty vague, just because you're a swimmer doesn't make you abnormal, just because someone paints, plays an instrument, works on cars, or rescues animals doesn't make them special because of their passion. I mean it's cool you're a great swimmer and all, but it's silly to think that someone who doesn't dedicate their life to swimming wouldn't understand it.

[@SkillsNT]

Just talking from my limited experience. I said “normal” people not “normal people” 🤪

[@skaladdy1164]

Swimming make you push to your limits and have a good mindset and it is physically and mental challenging to do and that swimming is very under rated

by "normal" he's kind of saying swimming makes you feel like you're amphibious and you're equally at home in the water or even better adaptes to the water - walking on dry land is possible but not optimal

[@galapagosthewonderwaterdog2890]

Why is everyone so butthurt in the comments? This video is not directed at you. It is directed at all non high performance athletes and people that disrespect high performance athletes. As someone who also is a high performance athlete, I understand why he has made this video. Many people just don’t seem to understand the amount of hours and the level of effort it takes to perform at a high level. We aren’t doing it just for “fun” anymore. We have ambitions and goals within our sport and spend countless hours trying to achieve them. He’s not saying he’s better than you, or that he’s something innately special, but what he is doing is quite amazing. To dedicate so much of your life and so much of your resources to a sport and for it to mean the world to you is not common, and many people fail to realize what goes into becoming a pro. I have played at high levels in both team sports and individual sports and they are insanely different. They both take a lot of effort and time, but the culture and the training are of two different worlds. For people to be coming at him saying “you’re not special” or “you are just like any other athlete” is so disrespectful and completely incorrect, and proves his point that people are completely missing out on what it means to make a sport your life, or even any passion your life. He’s not bragging or showing off or looking down on others. He’s merely trying to shed some light in his sport and what it takes to do it since many are ignorant of the facts. Swimmers train individually 24/7. There is no one to fall back on, the results depend fully on you. If someone made a track video like this I feel as if people would not be so offended, but for some reason swimming seems to be hated by the general public. Great video man, I really appreciate your insight and I can see why you get frustrated. Cheers

To help some of y'all understand, swimming is one of those sports where it's not fun, but enjoyable. Other sports like football or basketball or baseball or softball or volleyball or soccer or handball or even chess to name a few are all games, they are fun to do. We as swimmers do not have games, it's more like running/track and field, it is a mode of transportation. We go to meets, not games, and we can be dequed, or our time will become invalid over taking a breath, so you can imagine how different it is. Not to mention swimming is a year round sport where as other sports usually have seasons.

I needed this because my bff is a swimmer and she is in the pool a lot. I can swim but I can't due to my ears not draining properly (I was supposed to get surgery) I wish I could go swimming more often but when I go to any pool I have to stay on a floaty and not put my head underwater too much.

[@kaitlynly]

Lol I swim but I still watched this

[@dcoughman]

This is laugh out loud funny! I need to share this with my non swimmer friends!

[@ashley-jq3hf]

0:11 that was beautiful

[@SkillsNT]

Thanks 🙂

[@BltchErica]

Literally any person with any other passion could make this video.

[@BltchErica]

@Warren Lawrence That doesn't matter. Any person with any other passion could make this video because people who don't have that passion probably don't truly understand whatever they are doing.

[@BltchErica]

@Warren Lawrence Idgaf if you're a swimmer. A video like this is totally pointless. We get it, you have a passion, everyone does.

[@BltchErica]

@Warren Lawrence "Instead of people telling *us* shit"

[@BltchErica]

though I meant "you" as in any person who's a swimmer

[@BltchErica]

I just don't see a point for a video like this to exist. It really just feels like they made this video to brag about their skills to people who don't really care.

[@SerenityScratch]

This can apply to a lot of professions haha

[@SkillsNT]

Exactly

[@ea7535]

I loved this video so much, especially the way you get out of the pool 0:09 LOL :D I'm not a passionate swimmer but I do love going for a swim once in a while. You guys seem to be having a lot of fun though

[@krxzzzaka]

I need to send this to all my “normal friends”

[@chun-weilin8095]

I feel I can relate to this video. Every training we do outside the pool is to help us get faster in the pool. That was my purpose every time I go to a gym. I also pay attention to many great swimmers in the world, which no one around me cares.

[@SkillsNT]

Yes!

[@Effici]

Oh wow, you're an athlete. How special.

[@SkillsNT]

Thanks, you can be one too if you set your mind to it

[@defyinggalaxy8742]

Destroyed

[@chanahliorawizenberg4799]

Yep. 😊 I never thought I would I would find something I love as much as I loved dancing. I have 🌞

[@TheArrowsPath]

Wow, this is the least exclusive club in the entire world. Great job completely missing the mark.

[@SkillsNT]

#1 in the least exclusive list 😎 Wow!

[@joeross7724]

Lorentz the annoying Llama That was a roast and a half 10/10

[@charlottewatkins1137]

Lorentz the annoying Llama maybe he did not want to be in them anyways.

[@leesdroidaccountharbin9665]

Yesterday, some kids wanted to challenge me to a race. I told them "It wouldn't be a good idea to race me, I'm just too good". They insisted. I didn't want to destroy them in a race, so I pretty much said "This is why we can't race against each other". Then I gunned it to the opposite end of the pool while they were just looking at me, with awe. I probably did a 15:02 on the 25 meter. Not my fastest, but a pretty good time.

[@flamingfishes]

Something similar happened to me when I went to Italy with school. 4 of my friends wanted to race so I did a 200 and they did a 4 x 25 relay and I still beat them. They didn’t want another race after that 😢

[@plopplop5218]

I want a pool now lol

[@SkillsNT]

👏🏻😃

[@djamilahalouane446]

This was so relatable. I sing as well as I swim and when I need to just take a breather (yes, the irony) I just stay at the bottom of the pool and feel the calm underwater.

[@MegaBouayad]

5 "normal" people saw this and disliked it.. they couldn't understand the message obviously 😂😂

[@SkillsNT]

Probably 😜

[@epicgamernik76]

Well excuse me for not being able to swim

[@shinozaddy5939]

Skills NT what was the message?

[@zjwunwun9075]

B. Moulky 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fuck off this video is filled with pretentious bullshit

[@kaitlynnonya9170]

YES seriously I will have the same song stuck in my head for the whole practices

[@raviolionrye9669]

I love swimming and I live in Nevada, so most of the pools aren't heated in the winter because the water and temperature gets to be around 30-40 degrees in the winter so I can only really swim freely without discomfort for like 6 months of the year and I don't own a pool so I have to go over to my great aunt and uncles house

[@Dwooswa]

dude same im in Nevada and im a swimmer and we swam outside this winter cuz there was no snow and 5 30 practices are so painful the pool is so cold lmao

[@caitlinjago4164]

a lot of these really relate to rowing as well

[@crys.]

This is painfully cringey. Couldn't even finish the video it was that edgy.
