The „early vertical forearm“ is just the holy grail of swimming at this point 🏆 🙌🙌

[@barbaratyler2183]

I am just a casual fitness swimmer, but I really learned a lot from this video because I had never previously heard about the vertical position for the forearm. I can really feel the difference. Thanks!

[@FaresKsebati]

So glad it was helpful! Keep up the good work :)

[@anomalyp8584]

Simple physics.

[@widowatiproborini7186]

Agree. His videos help me a lot. The breath technique, the half eye in the water and more. I swim better now. Thanks!!

[@taminabi9351]

[@qubit0002]

key here is driving forward with your hip to extend reach vs just trying to reach forward

[@missbeans]

You break it down so nicely, thank you for sharing your expertise! I'm in my 40s and getting back into swimming after 20 years 😱 I feel like swimming has come a long way since the last time I was in the water! I remember buying books on techniques and such back in the day, and trying to envision what they were describing and then put it into practice lol. Video makes it so much easier!

[@anthonykempton1414]

fingertips first as explained add as a break and slows forward momentum.Try entering the water with your thumb index finger first - keep the fingers together otherwise you will get water grab loss.

[@barefootbeachrunner9498]

Awesome demo Im a former competitive Breastroker As a masters swimmer at 57 years old I've got my 50m breastroke back down to just under 40 seconds I would love to get my breastroke back to 35 seconds Any good tips for reclaiming my youth speed? Cheers

[@cj0089]

Breaststroke kick drills really helped me in the past..1 pull/2 kick, using find with fly kick with Breaststroke, breaststroke kick on your back

[@katherinelunagate157]

It's all good, but no one ever mentions that these movements are generated in the belly: using the power of the abdominal muscles help to control these arm movements along with using the resistance from the water itself. Tighten your belt (as my Pilates teacher would say) and see if it makes any difference.

[@missbeans]

Oh this is an interesting thought. I always struggle with lack of arm strength, but my core is pretty good. I need to try engaging my core muscles for strokes. I think that might be easier on my bad shoulder too.

[@katherinelunagate157]

@@missbeans engaging the core muscles also prevent legs from sinking, providing legs are strong at the hips, buttocks engaged and feet pointed.

Finally! A swimming tutorial using metric measurements haha. I'm 40yo this year and looking to substitute some of my running sessions for swimming instead, due to its low impact nature. Fingers first, 1/2 metre directly in-front of the shoulder, thanks! I haven't done lap swimming since I was a teen, so hopefully it doesn't take too long to get my technique down.

[@FaresKsebati]

You got this! Technique is the foundation of a smooth, injury-free stroke, so keep thinking about it :)

[@dws84]

@@FaresKsebati Thanks! When I was playing football I could run sub 5min/km for 5km, so the goal is to one day swim the equivalent of that, whatever that is? haha

Wow, you a explained that Cristal clear. I am on rehab and the demo just makes me understand what I did not get till now with the freestyle catch. THANKS. POWERFUL.

Thank u so much

[@samueldenbesten]

This is totally evolutionary, you evolved swimming!

[@richardtrass]

Ok. So your buddy on Skills and Talents believes the S shape pull is the correct way to go. Based on videos of Kyle Chalmers for example. The Straight pull vs S pull seems to be something that goes in and out of fashion in the last century or so. My hunch is that few swimmers actually pull directly back in a straight line regardless of intent. You have to change path at the back of the stroke slightly to clear the hips in any event. Might be a good topic for a video at some point! Maybe you’ve done it already? Maybe a video debate with your mate from the other channel?

[@Mrfunny-u4h]

Hey man thank you with the tips! This really helped me but can you teach me how to go in the water for long :)

Good

I think you mean the Crawl Stroke. "Freestyle" is a type of race where the racers can choose their own stroke but since people always do the crawl b/c it's faster, people think it's not called the crawl.

[@alexspata]

i dont know man, I saw a lot of different versions and opinions on YT about this subject..other teachers are saying when you catch water, you should then curb your hand as it passes close to your body, not keeping it straight as it mentioned here

[@flavianofloris4459]

Thank you I'm from Sardinia grow up closer to the sea but I never learned how to swim I can like a dog or on my back like a squid 😂 this kind of videos make me feel like to finally learn how to swim

Not saying i know better, but can talk about what i see & i mostly see Olympic swimmers stretching the fingers as far out in front on top of the water, then making the pull

Did that and had a sore shoulder. Its impossible to swim this way, if you are not stretched. Old age swimming newcomers better start from less demanding technique and do the stretching.

[@artandanimation326]

Ok, about to say everything you said was wrong. (Disclaimer, there are obviously different ways to swim, but as a top ten in Colorado age group swimmer, I do it much differently) so the most important thing is power. To get power, you extend your shoulders and get lots of power from your core, while engaging your whole body. This doesn’t necessarily mean straight arm freestyle, but if you are staying long and strong, you’re not daintily sliding your hand in the water. You’re not slapping it, but it’s not a gentle sport. As for the Dow pull under the water, by doing the paddle thing you ruin all of the power, drawing it from only your arm and shoulder instead of your body.

[@elmonoconzapatos7159]

florian wellbrock's freestyle is pretty much what the video is talking about, seems to work just fine for him and other distance swimmers

[@berrianazrubel795]

This is more 200 400 and 1500 pace free technique, straight arm is used for more sprint events. He’s is teaching how to swim efficiently while you are saying how to swim with power like you said. No human is capable of holding the high octane technique you are talking about for basically over a 100 if they do it right. Great job apparently being top 10 in your age group but don’t be so cocky next time
