As a competitive swimmer and swim instructor, watching this made me realize all of the techniques we unconsciously incorporate when swimming every day. Fantastic video, great portrayal of freestyle.

Pro Tip: Look at this image at 1:05. This is how to swim WRONG. While going forward, the whole body becomes a source of resistance, due to the angle. The leg kick is actually one of the least effective means of propulsion. If you just do leg kicks, you could tire out before reaching the other side of the pool. It is extremely inefficient for propulsion. Don't cater to it. That said, the leg kick is VERY efficient for raising the legs. You can do a lot of the leg kick at the hips. Keep your legs STRAIGHT not bent at the knees. You only want to kick your legs enough that your body straightens out like a bullet when you swim. No more than that unless you're definitely in sight of the finish line and have no concern at all for conserving energy. The arm stroke is many times more efficient for propulsion than the leg kick. Not even close. All your real work is done by the arms. Kick with your legs just enough to straighten out, and then use your arms to move like a rocket. Maybe a 10/90 or 5/95 split as far as effort. The effort you save in the legs can then be used for your arms and you will blast past everyone. Most to least efficient propulsion: 1. Kicking off the wall or bottom of pool. 2. Pulling on a rope, such as the divider rope in the pool. 3. Using flippers. 4. Arm strokes. 5. Leg kicks. 6. Flapping around like Patrick Duffy in "Man From Atlantis". This does next to nothing. For the kind of swimming described in this video, use MINIMAL leg kicks (just enough to keep your body horizontal) and maximal arm strokes. This is how to win. Very very easy to do, even for beginners. The way to find the sweet spot is to kick harder when moving forward (like they normally teach you) and then reduce the effort gradually until you feel your legs drooping down at an angle. This causes drag and you will lose speed fast. Kick just a little harder than that and you have found the sweet spot. You will be able to go much farther because you're not burning oxygen at the same rate as before. You're not draining body energy as fast. You can therefore maintain a high speed for a very long time and sail right past your competitors. Remember, you can use your hips and torso to "flick" your legs using even less effort. Utilize the torso rotation used to keep the stroke arm down, and let that "flow" down to your legs, kept stiff at the knees. I don't lose races in the pool. Younger stronger guys are confused every time.

[@kingofthejungle3833]

Having experienced nearly drowning twice, watching your video has made me realise why I was never a confident or even competent swimmer, for someone like me, relaxing with my head underwater and my lower half not floating as it needed to caused much subconscious anxiety, which quickly manifested into very conscious anxiety, I'm definitely going to watch this video many times and practice swimming.

wow, im so proud of you. kudos to you for conquering your fears!

[@tribalpyrotechnicsforrando2621]

You really wanna swim without getting tired? Forget such useless techniques and just move like a gecko inside the water (of course with slower movements). You will have a very mild pace while saving tons of energies and if you administrate it well it makes you save even more energies than remaining in fixed position with legs down , at the same time you can move too. If you want to give more thrust you can occasionally move the legs like a frog does. You can soon naturally learn it , just keep in mind the movement of a gecko and you will quickly adjust the whole. That's honestly said by a person who was born by the seaside and has swam all life long , even against waves and currents , even underwater while exploring , and it works in a swimming pool too. People who are just going to learn swimming in a swimming pool will never be able to swim for long time such as in an emergency situation. At the swimming pool you learn techniques used to go fast in a competition and without adverse water conditions , swimming without getting tired is another matter. Often people who don't live by the sea are not able to truly swim by practical convenience and just apply the techniques they were taught in a pool. Not having much muscular mass helps a lot too , the ones having muscle mass get tired quicker and drown quicker , also having too much fat make you drown quicker though it protects you from the cold , and also being too skinny makes you drown quicker , both because energies and because you become more vulnerable to the cold , while a balanced body is the best type for surviving into the water for long time. I will not read possible replies so to prevent fanaticism.

[@MS-_-4891]

Agree. Staying calm is KEY. Using goggles helped me see where I was at, how deep or shallow the water was and that calmed me down heaps. Not seeing where you are can play tricks on the mind, triggers panic, and a downward spiral from there. Snorkels can also help for absolute beginners.

[@MS-_-4891]

[@AdrienLegendre]

The most important steps to improve swimming endurance: 1) use fatigue resistant core muscles to generate force needed to pull arm through water; use fatigue sensitive arm muscles from shoulder to finger tip to maintain minimal tension needed to keep the arm in a catch posture, 2) maintain horizontal body position by swimming posture, not by kicking, 3)use proper catch position, 4) rotate, not lift, the head to breath, you can find air in the trough (depression) of water near your armpit, 5) learn to swim in a straight line, 6) do not hold breath, but release air slowly following inhalation as you would during normal breathing 7) meditate while breathing, 8) keep arm and hand close to center-line of body to generate more force while minimizing swaying right and left. Using core muscles: extend right arm forward, form catch position, thrust the right shoulder backwards while simultaneously thrusting left shoulder forward and thrusting your hip to rotate your body. These thrusting core body movements pull the right arm through the water. The right arm muscles from shoulder to finger tips maintain the minimal tension needed to maintain catch position and reduce fatigue, any less tension in the arm muscles would make the arm collapse. Feel the shoulder and body rotation pull the arm through the water. Horizontal body position: lie supine (face down) in water, lower the head, extend both arms in front, lower the arms with legs horizontal. If your legs begin to sink in the water, lower your head and arms more. If you get this right, you can easily swim in a perfect horizontal position with no kicking movements. Catch position: flex arm at elbow, point palm backwards to your feet, pull arm through water keeping the palm pointed to your feet. Your palm is like the flat surface of an oar, pushing your body forward. Meditate: focus on slow breathing and minimizing muscle tension of your entire body.

I'm 39 years old and I've been trying to learn how to swim for so many years. Many people have tried to show me but it doesn't work. I am a yoga teacher, so I have body and breath awareness, I am fit enough to cycle 100kms in a day, and I play the drumset with four limbs, so I have coordination, but swimming is by far the hardest skill I've ever tried to learn. I feel exhausted so quickly, and I feel like I'm not moving. I went to lessons last year and still didn't get it. My friend was trying to show me some stuff over the last few weeks and I feel I made a tiny bit of progress. For me it's like some kind of superpower. I have no idea how you all do it!

[@sherrywhite1517]

If you're exhausted quickly, might be you're holding your breath; if you do that, you will hold a bit of air in bottom of your lungs, then you'll do the same with next breath, and quickly you can't catch your breath. Practice breathing out as soon as you're face is underwater and expelling ALL air out of your lungs.

[@jovesheerwater]

First you learn to play in the water. Forget about swimming. Just make friends with it. Use Goggles! It's not about doing the crawl back and forth for 20 minutes. Have fun.

[@richarddunne9802]

@@jovesheerwater Oh I've spent so much time in the water; in swimming pools, in rivers, in the sea. I love being in the water, and I have goggles, I just really struggle to learn the skill of swimming. I've recently realised that it might be the result of an incident when I was around six years old, walking into the deep end of the swimming pool, swallowing lots of water, and thinking I was going to drown. I remember I had lessons soon after and I was holding on to the edge, terrified, telling the teacher I thought I was going to drown. I guess there's been some mental block there ever since. I also got into a bit of trouble around five years ago, when I was snorkeling in Tenerife. I went out to what I thought was a very modest distance but when I tried to come back the current was very strong and I nearly didn't make it. I've been making a little bit of progress with the help of a friend the last few weeks so I'll keep practicing and see where it takes me.

These made so the breathing was way easier for me then it was for ages.

[@williamjeffreys2980]

Thank you very much for this! I have been a swimmer my entire life, but I've never been comfortable with freestyle, as I use too much energy, so I will try your advice. I have a stroke I use, on my back, extend the arms over the head, frog kick while pulling with the arms. This is very easy for me and I can swim for hours this way, but you have given me renewed interest in freestyle. One further point - to anyone that swims in the ocean it is vital to have at least one stroke you can use that for you is at the same level of effort as walking. If you get pulled out by rip currents, simply look at the beach to see which way the current is taking you, then swim diagonally with the current towards the shore. Do not be in a hurry. You may end up well down the beach from where you went in.

The things we learn late in life when our bodies are faulty and the opportunity is lost. Our schools has swimming pools back in the 50's and 60's. We were as just tossed in to the water, and fished out if we sank. That was the swimming tuition I recall. I never got to swim really, but could sometimes survive 25 metres. So I am not a swimmer and have avoided swimming. Now I have developed other issues that mean I will never swim. My point is that in my view, it is crucial, not only for children to have access to swimming pools, BUT to also have coaches who actually know about swimming. Watching this video, I am convinced my teachers knew nothing at all. But how many times could it have made a life saving difference! I recall in my twenties that a family friend's daughter got into trouble in deep water just a few metres from shore. I could not go in to help. But someone else saw and heard the distress, ran across the beach and dived in. He probably saved her life, and I felt bad. Swimming is a great capability as well as fitness and sport.

55 years old scared of water, it took 4 weeks & few tips from your video to control my breathing & heart rate. Im nuch calmer now. My issue is inside water i can swim as long as i dont bring my head out of water to breathe, as soon my heafs come out to breathe my lower body goes down & touch the floor(im swimming in 4 feet deep pool in a gym). So i have to stop swimming, stand up, take a breathe & do it again. What can i do so i dont sink?

[@Jina_Park]

I really appreciate your videos including this !! I am good at freestyle & butterfly but poor at breast stroke and long distance swimming. Your video really help me. Thank you !!

[@roborob819]

Thanks, this video helped me a lot as I've always struggled to swim well and I'm not in bad shape! The 3D diagram helped too. I always assumed I had to have my body very-very parallel rather than finding a good balance point + using my lower legs. Thank you!

[@jhschuster]

Started swimming just a couble of weeks ago. Loving your videos so far, they're really helping me with my technique

[@numbzinger350]

Rather than constantly kicking like the other swimmers shown in this video, the Swimmer at 5:24 kicks in tandem with his arm movement. Constantly kicking is tiring. I've been a horrible swimmer my entire life but when I learned of a technique called 'total immersion swimming' using timed kicks, I became a much better and more relaxed swimmer. Disclaimer: FWIW, I'm a non-competitive amateur. Check out Total Immersion Swimming. Once I learned that technique it changed everything. It made such a difference in effort that I went from hating swimming to loving it.

[@justsoyouknowthis]

Thank you, I have swimming test tomorrow. This was good revision.

[@HDJess]

I've always found swimming impossible for me, since childhood. I'm tall and underweight and I feel like my body doesn't want to float at all, the effort it takes to swim just 10 meters is insane to me.

[@samajestewarrenondovevo1056]

Same with me

[@fulldnbboy]

Same here but practice is the key, always has been. Being 2 meters tall, roughly 30kg underweight (damn you hard gainer body...) and also long legs, the effort is massive. Its so frustrating to see kids flying past you like its nothing for them! But going to pool three times a week helped a lot to improve the endurance and now 1km of swimming is not so hard anymore. Occasionally was doing 1.5km and once tried baby marathon swimming course aka 2km swim which i was impressed i managed to do. Turned out it was already way past the moment I must have needed to get to next level, I was idling at 1km with my efforts already, but I was swimming frog style those 2km. It aint effortless still, I still have blackening on my eyes after 500m like Im at my limits but its not like it was before where freestyle swimming 25m and Im dead whale at the poolside... Swimming other techniques first helps before progressing to freestyle, frog is the easiest and with proper technique and practice you will be on par and better than most people swimming freestyle by itself already. Hardest must be butterfly which is still a bit no no for me. It is seriously hard one...

[@valerius9751]

bold of you to assume that I can walk without getting tired

[@portnoyden]

Thanks a lot! You make the best swimming content on youtube! It's a great idea to collect all individual videos into blocks and supplement them with important little things. Special thanks for the graphics and animation - it's very visual.

[@SkillsNT]

Thank you!!

[@StaffordShares]

I agree. You guys are the best. I've learned and still learning a lot. Your videos are awesome. My swimming is improving from the knowledge received here. The Aaron series represents someone like me who just took up swimming since August 2021 and I am able to swim now and just working on better breathing technique and less kicking to conserve more energy. I am about to go swimming in about 30 minutes and will include the kicking while on the back in my sessions. Thanks again.

[@beckyb8929]

basically my favorite KZbin swim videos because the presenter seems so friendly. IDK about A-Aron though.

[@saumyacow4435]

I only swim to lose weight (plus I feel in my element and it helps me to relax and think). Never thought much about technique but this is a brilliant video. Thanks.

[@ehku6900]

Same here❤

[@MrSridharMurthy]

I learnt more about swimming in this video than in my 50 years of 'swimming' !

[@baconthegatewaymeat9131]

As a swimmer for 30 years and swim instructor/coach for 15, the only thing you need to stay on top of the water is keeping your eyes looking straight down for freestyle, turn to your back to breathe then back to your stomach. if you can do this freestyle becomes very easy.

[@jovesheerwater]

This sounds key. Thanks.

[@madamuplifttv]

Nees to work on this. Maybe I need to focus on the back more than the face. Sometimes I can get my breaths in and sometimes I miss it smh 🤦🏾

[@GaZonk100]

no way , no matter what l do l sink and choke

[@Necronomous]

I don't need any help to float. I just put myself on my back, totally relaxed, watching the sky. Almost fell asleep once when I did it. Another time when I was on vacation I was floating on my back. Didn't think about it, but suddenly I was far away from the shore. But I calmlingly swam back. Wasn't even exhausted. So yeah, I guess I have mastered it.

[@robohippy]

It will be interesting to see what you have to say about Aaron rehabbing his knee. I picked up swimming maybe 15 years ago after a long lay off. I knew I had to get both hips and one knee replaced, and needed to lose some weight and get as physically ready as I could. End result was I got bilateral hips done, which is both at the same time, and a year later, the knee. I got through rehab in half the time that others did. Also, as soon as I was able to get back in the pool, which was 4 weeks after, Swelling vanished, and range of motion improved much faster. Zero impact and total aerobic exercise.

[@projectembrace1964]

Thank you so much for your comment. I am about to go for a total ankle replacement and have to get fit and lose some weight too. So I went back to the pool after about 6 years. To know that swimming helped with your rehabilitation is great. I'll keep swimming till my surgery. Thank you.

[@robohippy]

@@projectembrace1964 Half of the preparation for replacement surgery if physical, and half is mental. For the physical, it helps build your circulatory system so your blood moves around more efficiently which helps speed the recovery. For the mental part, I did Thai Chi for years before my surgeries, so lots of meditational standing and breathing. You can learn to calm yourself. Between those two things, the surgeon said I was a perfect candidate for bilateral hip replacement. Good luck with your repair job!

[@metasolo1222]

[@kangjhha]

I've always had excellent running endurance but could never figure out why I get so exhausted after a lap of swimming and could never utilize my legs which feel like dead weight being towed under water.. thanks for this guide

[@teekey1754]

The technics, coordination.

[@carveratutube]

Me too, but after training constantly over months I can now swim easily 10 laps. You need to train, same as running.

[@teekey1754]

It is not that easy with utilizing legs. You have to synchronize them with your arms, and it also depends whether you are doing sprints or swim longer distance.

[@sundeepsinghbhullar6320]

Yea, it takes time. I am a runner too. Swimming is just whole new thing. It's more like your arm endurance rather than your legs. Good thing we have enough endurance for our legs. Just need to train the arms. Good luck . I am trying to complete a lap .

i have a swim marathon coming up, its a fundraiser for my team. sponsors can pledge a dollar(or more) per lap or simply send a flat rate. my goal is 500 laps, so i can raise a little over 500 dollars. most i can swim without having to stop is 200 laps (each lap is 25yds) this video is quite helpful thank you!

total immersion swimming was/is also the answer for me. shout out to Terry Laughlin and Tim Ferriss!

[@arthurchan7934]

First of all, thanks for your training tips videos. They are helpful and useful to me as a self taught swimmer. I started to train myself for long distance swimming since November 2023, didn't realize that I could make it an hour without a break swim in freestyle. I have observed that there are 'issues' during my swimming. Hope you can offer me advice to improve or resolve these issues. 1. the first 20 mins, I will have sore shoulders. But once I passed beyond this point. I don't feel tire in my arms. 2. Often my right feet has cramp after 50 mins, I usually stop my kicking and continue without using my leg(s) for two laps. Then it seems to me that my cramp is gone. Your advice would be appreciated:)

[@carveratutube]

For me swimming is a cardio workout like running (definitely not walking). You need to train to improve. After training a couple of months I can now swim for 30 minutes easily. When I started I needed a break after 2 minutes.

[@igronus]

It's definitely not about cardio. I can run half of a marathon (can't say easily) or 12 minute sprint but few minutes of proper (more or less) swimming increases my heart rate dramatically. And a year of regular training hadn't helped. More over, I can feel increased heart bpm right now writing this text. It's something about ancient animal fear which can't be controlled at all.

[@carveratutube]

@@igronus I didn’t mean that when you have a good condition at running you can also swim for a long time or vice versa. Same for other cardio workouts. You have to train it individually. And yes I agree, if you are anxious nothing helps. You need to control that first.

1. try breathing less often to increase co2 tolerance 2. train rotator cups to avoid tendonitis 3. shoulder internal rotation when hand still in front, if not possible start pull more open, more out to side, palm facing backwards. 4. keep lats and pecs stretched, 5. push shoulder down while elbow near surface. 4:54 (internal rot injury?) not necessary for me 6. clean entry, shoulder rotation when hand enters water 7. bring had out more if waves. head up to make sure current doesnt take you.

[@getinthespace7715]

When I was a teenager I figured out how to swim a side stroke basically forever without getting tired. I would offset kicks and armstrokes coasting in between. Longest I swam was the length of the lake at my grandpa's cabin and back. About 7 miles, I wasn't tired at all and could have done it again. Lol. Once you figure it out you are good. Now I'm old and fat. Was out swimming with my daughter got a little winded after treading water for 10 min. Reverted to that side stroke to swim back in and regained my breath. It's so low energy.

[@NoBaconForYou]

That dude at 5:24 is so satisfying to watch. I want to get into swimming now. We have a highly specialized way of movement in all environments! Walking heel toe, running on the ball of our foot, brachiating in trees, and all our weird swimming techniques, all thanks to our apeness.
