EASIEST WAY TO SWIM FREESTYLE

[@PhlexSwim]

Let us know what you would like to see in our next video! As usual, THANKS FOR WATCHING! 🏊

[@DonostiGros]

More on fly technique please! I'd love to improve mine which at the moment is pretty rubbish. Thank you

[@patrick9150]

Phlex Swim BUTTERFLY PLEASE

[@alexandreguyon241]

A lot of suggestions ! Back stroke start, Back stroke flip, efficient "wall touch" at the end of a race, warm up in The pool before a race (according to your distance), warm up out of The pool before training, exact movement of your arms in breast stroke... Again thx for your vids, you give a very original way to learn and get some concepts I never saw before. It gave me new motivation to go Back training !Keep going !

[@PhlexSwim]

All such great suggestions! We will put them in queue

[@snehafojdar5142]

Thank the

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Great explanations for the freestyle stroke!! Nice job.

[@MikiStormTrooper]

That was the key! I've been struggling to rise my left elbow, for some reason I just couldn't do it. This "elbow up, finger tips in the water" drill is really working for me. Thanks!

[@danielliden6829]

Make sure to water the pool so it doesn´t dry out!

[@PhlexSwim]

Great point!

[@kjkuchma]

At 3:16 in the video is the BEST overhead shot showing the leading hand orientation before the catch begins. Pinky slightly down, thumb slightly up. Many mechanical reasons why this is good. Most people have pinky and thumb horizontal putting internal strain on their shoulders. Great video!

[@PhlexSwim]

You rock! So glad you appreciate this shot so much. We not only try and make these videos aesthetically pleasing, but we also pick the shots that we find to be the perfect fit to show the dynamics of the drill. Thanks for the support!

[@mastersavage3148]

You have such good muscles, Luke.

[@jakitp859-q5j]

There are many drills on the internet but you perfectly explain what they are all about, great.

[@PhlexSwim]

That means a lot! Thanks so much for the support and let us know what you'd like to see us cover next!

[@jessapearayup9974]

“Easiest way to swim freestyle” *dies no matter what*

[@ariane0966]

Jessica L Good tip haha

[@anra54]

could'nt agree more! this drill that finally gave me the lightbulb moment for freestyle. It really help me to understand the importance of body rotation and positioning to reduce drag..

[@PhlexSwim]

Amazing when that happens, right! Even when we step away from the water for a few weeks, we can always count on this drill to ground us and show us exactly where we left off. Thanks for watching!

[@Jjroh1224]

My free was so slow but after this it really helped! Thanks a lot, Phlex!

[@yonghe9276]

I swim at GSC! I'm in the intermediate section! Omg everything looks so familiar!

[@2icelollys1goat]

Great video all round. Sound n visuals; and the instruction, too, was a lot of fun

[@azizamnunna2503]

You should have filmed more thru drone camera your swimming practice.

[@mariaevanoloroza1768]

Amazing catch and will try this

[@monikathomas4985]

Great tips!!

[@funkyed985]

Nice video. I've done this drill before but now I realize it's one of the better freestyle drills.

[@PhlexSwim]

Definitely a drill we would recommend keeping in your repertoire

[@lzaerlight4169]

God Bless you all, have a great week!

[@co36]

Whoever produce this did a great job taking something rather bland and making it very entertaining

[@PhlexSwim]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate the kind words.

[@fajarmangadan2476]

Cool guy

[@ArpanDasRockstar]

Very nice video

[@bassambassam4412]

nice guy and nice swimming tip

[@jatinshetty]

liked it just cause the video was well made and editted

[@1danleung]

Great tips, I'm improving from it. Thank you

[@kiracoleman5735]

I just did this at practice today what a coincidence

[@PhlexSwim]

Tell your coach to keep watching our videos 😉

[@aminebati7681]

Nice

[@jamesbuikman6393]

Cool, gonna try that! By the way, awesome pool! I've never seen this... sprinkling equipment in one.

[@zydrunassavickas1]

wish i had a lane that long

[@MrLutzyboy]

Channel Added to favorites!....I would have liked to see the snorkel demonstrated as well with this drill.

[@PhlexSwim]

You rock! Welcome to the Phlex Swim Team! We will work on some snorkel demonstrations for a future video.

[@shireenhendricks2194]

Thanx. Enjoyed this.

[@yairdr1]

hey there I actually got my self a snorkel but swimming with it is not that natural. it looks like some training is essential. I'm almost 40 and I swim from the age of 14 so my body and muscles are used to certain type of swimming. I am swimming in a team that helps me refine my style but still old habits are hard to change. how would you recommend to practice snorkeling

[@zaheerqureshi7]

I have a fin it's like dolphin with strips but I don't know how to use it.

[@ge3346]

It would really help if you would show the drill from a chosen angle for more than 1 second before cutting to a different angle. Constant video cuts makes it hard to follow what you're trying to demonstrate.

[@mousababboud9308]

is it good for swimmers to have short legs and long torso ???

[@debralauren6618]

Mousab Aboud yes

[@fajarmangadan2476]

So,u keep ur fingers close or open when perform catch??

[@harshitsoni8085]

What is the lenght of your pool in which you swimmed in video is it a 50m pool or a 25 metre one

[@MRfisheri]

Great drill. Just started subscribing few weeks ago. One thing, or request I should say though about your videos, is that could you make the shots longer? Make the stroke clinic of each shot longer. Currently your style is more like in short montages. But that would ruin the channel's signature style though using longer shots. Maybe one suggestion is to upload a separate video of the drill but with long shots.

[@PhlexSwim]

This is a great idea! We are doing some brainstorming in the background about how we can just be able to provide beautiful long montages of the drill. Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!

[@احمددهجيان]

Very nice

[@athay1397]

For some reason i though rotation was bad and was trying to mimimse it. Smh

[@Mietchannel]

i think rotating is good so long as you only rotate your upperbody, b/c if you start rotating your hips your whole body will sway

[@athay1397]

Lucas Davey thank dude ill try to keep that in mind. I should really take notes lol so much tips to remember.

[@dm7539]

ur supposed to rotate ur whole body and ur kick is supposed to be rotating

[@athay1397]

Immortal_ fart whole body or just to your hips? Thanks for the info i just got into swimming recently.

[@floessens]

have a look to this video here. the video explains the difference between hip driven and shoulder driven freestyle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGiXZ4JpgdmtapY

[@stephenhowell3773]

Awesome work as always guys. Aussieswimcoach

[@PhlexSwim]

You Rock!! Thanks for the loyal watch and good morning from Aussieland!

[@safctilidie]

So, is this something which will ultimately become how I swim on race day, or is it just a drill? I don't want to over kick as I'm a triathlete and need my legs for the other stuff.

[@PhlexSwim]

Hey! Thanks for your comment. This is definitely not what you will be doing usually, this is just a drill that will help touch up your normal freestyle stroke by engaging in your core and legs. If you are a triathlete, we made a video explaining a bit of this style of training. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWKXn2h6mq5qebs

[@jun920918hao]

Thanks for this drill Phlex. Another great vid. Always thought I was really slow when doing this drill; turns out I'm slacking on my legs hahaha. Thanks for the correction. When I first used this drill, I tend to hurt my shoulders. Don't actually know what I did to correct my stroke; I listened to my body, and experimented with the catch until I get one I'm comfy with. So yeah, careful with your shoulders when drilling freestyle. P.S. I'm way behind the pack in this vid (sorry, offline world stuff), but I still luv u guys all the same

[@bodi.a.r]

Yo guys! love the work that y'all do. I got a question btw. I swim with a 2 beat kick, even in events as short as the 200 free; so, is overkicking cool, or should I be doin something different in the drill? Thanks. Keep up the awesome work.

[@PhlexSwim]

Thanks for the love! In our experience you are going to have to learn to become a dynamic kicker. Me personally (Ryan, from the last video), I was a distance swimmer so I am like you and always had a 2 beat kick. Once I got to Florida and trained under the great mid distance US Olympic coach Gregg Troy, I learned the importance of bringing my legs into my freestyle. You should treat your stroke in a mile and a 200 FR completely different and definitely start training that way before implementing in practice. Next time you are doing anything fairly quick and pacing (50s and 200 pace) give it a go with a strong and not exhausting attempt of 4 or 6 beat geek. Look to the best mid-distancers in the world for visual advice on this.

[@bodi.a.r]

Alright man. Thanks again :)

[@xiangbinsia747]

Are you Kit Harington’s brother?

[@jimbendtsen8841]

There are a lot of “common” mistakes that swimmers make in their everyday training that wind up affecting them later on.

[@luongngo1802]

Hey I wanna ask if you mind sharing what ur GPA and SAT & ACT cuz joining a swim team and high school homework is kinda a lot stuff to do in one day. I’m a swimmer for school team but it really hard to manage all at once

[@funkyed985]

don't worry about it and swim!

[@isabellazz7323]

Is it the same as high elbow catch? Why is the finger too touching the surface of water. I don’t understand ,that’s why

[@fajarmangadan2476]

This guy s fun to watch.handsome also.

[@kashishsharma2095]

If we race in competition then rotation is beneficial to us or not

[@jasonstack122]

I'm 60 and live in crystal river I swim at the new YMCA so I swim about 1 hour 20 min. but I swim down and back as that is one lap then rest 10 to 30 seconds so my lap swimming is more power swimming is this okay?

[@nagaseharuhiko3558]

yes Let's go to swim at yokohama international swimming pool in japan.

[@PhlexSwim]

We are totally in! Can you get us a plane ticket?

[@decaalv]

video starts at 00:50

[@zaman_tousif]

I find it difficult to swim when the pool water has been treated and feel nauseous after the swim session. Do nose plugs help with this or is there any other way you control that? This small issue affects me much.

[@worstforever1999]

Good!!

[@martin.B777]

Requesting the easiest way to catch Caeleb ;)

[@أبوقدس-ن3س]

رائع

[@subankarvlogs1664]

Nice bro

[@JohnDoe-vu9wn]

I like that lady writing on the board. Good bums

[@rxge6979]

I really don’t like using my legs in freestyle since they get super tired can you help me?

[@PhlexSwim]

Honestly we wish it was an easier fix than this, but practice makes perfect. Train your legs and eventually they won't be tiring

[@samirachid2011]

Look at freestyle Sun yang

[@svalactubes]

I do backstroke daily around 2k , not much free style , while swimming freestyle I lost breathe quickly

[@isabelsafi6157]

We call this drill shark fins at swimming

[@hassanm.m2653]

fine

[@sashabrixham9316]

i wanna hear a collab with LX Xander so bad...!!!!!

[@samirachid2011]

😊

[@mariaevanoloroza1768]

Hi ! Im good in breathing on my left side during freestyle but right side breathing is sooo hard ☺️🙏🏼 pls help

[@quincytennyson6020]

If I am a weak kicker, are fins acceptable in a drill like this?

[@PhlexSwim]

Of course! That's the best step to work on a weaker kick and get it stronger will working this drill. Great thinking!

[@alanito9282]

I am a swimmer pro but your technic not right enough

[@makbrel]

This is a drill

[@hehemmedhehi1039]

👍👍

[@MrLeonardino]

The intro actually takes 1/3 of the video. Good video though.

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁

[@floabdosando2727]

Why the sprayers??

[@PhlexSwim]

They keep them on to keep the pool cold. They also look super cool in videos 😉

[@jameshuang2677]

Murica

[@Falquiboy]

Do you swim faster in cold water?

[@decaalv]

Abdalla Mahmoud if it gets too sunny and hot bacteria can colonize the pool and make it green.

[@EmilyKline]

we call it zipper drill

[@PhlexSwim]

I think I like that name more! 😃

[@openyard]

This technique is emphasized on Total immersion (TI) programmes.

Waste time with straight arm? Straight arm recovery is one of, if not the fastest way to swim, but it's also the most tiring

[@modeerfrehgif1062]

Anyone think he is hot?

[@endurancemiles]

75% of the video is awful music and aerial shots. This is not Instagram guys, keep it clean, keep it simple.
