[@michaelloves2learn]

Awesome video! I have some questions about the breathing too, so you said to breath less air more often, especially during meets, should I also breath every two strokes durning practice then too? Or should I do something different?

[@mylifelearnings]

Hey buddy, awesome video! I've been swimming since I was 2, went to nationals in Mexico until I was 19, stopped swimming for 13 years and recently started swimming again.

Thank you very much for this, I am grateful.

[@DJWakening]

I am not/never been an athlete and I am a beginner at swimming in my fifties. I watched for a few tips and finished feeling inspired. Thank you so much for your hard work. I easily injury myself constantly (on land due to hyper mobility ) and have been given various exercises included in your five pillars. I had previously dropped the exercises as soon as I felt better as I didn’t appreciate how they could help day to day (then re-injure 😅), however this video has shown me functional and aspirational purpose. What a boost and motivation! I’m now excited to continue my rehabilitation knowing it will also help me to swim.

[@SkillsNT]

Yes! That's great news. I'm glad this helped

[@kingsley8949]

[@33Jenesis]

Excellent lecture!!! You remain my most favorite swim coach :) I can attest to all your points. I figure out the breathing on my own. Every two was most difficult at first but now it becomes the easiest. I can swim longer by every two shallow inhale exhale. My core is not that strong. My spine is not as flexible as i’d like. I can feel the limitation trying dolphin kick and breaststroke kickoff (balance suffers a bit). I need to work my arms. Using paddles helps my arms not get tired but it’s not enough. I have been working on ankle and toe strength/flexibility for some years mainly for dancing, running, and hiking. The effort translates to swimming. In water I often envision my feet become my fishtail.

This video is truly profound. The amount of knowledge, wisdom, and overall value provided here is unparalleled. Thank you!!!

[@TwistyTrav]

Wow, I just started learning to swim by teaching myself. One of the things I noticed that gave the greatest improvement is staying underwater & bubbling constantly. I quit trying to tread water by staying above the surface all the time, instead focusing on being underneath more often. I have made more progress in such a short time simply by accepting that I can be underwater to swim. To most people, it probably looks like I'm drowning. But I'm actually just coming up for air whenever I need it & staying underwater the entire rest of the time. Once you get in a good rhythm, it becomes effortless. I never get tired and honestly feel like swimming this way makes it almost impossible for me to drown in almost any conditions. When people ask, I say "I'm not a strong swimmer. I'm a strong breather".

[@AbolarinwaAyoola]

I love the story telling and the "days of future past" illustration. It is so educating and aptly captures the common problems and challenges of all categories of swimmer and the possible solutions to the challenges are proffered. Great job.

I just found out his video and i know that all the exercices you showed here can be used for other disciplines like tennis, fencing and climbing too. Core exercices for stability, strength and mobility. Shoulder exercices for the same reasons, and it applies to the feet as well.

[@sagar73594]

This is the best video I've ever watched to enhance my swimming wisdom. Great Scott Man.😊

[@catcan221]

I have been doing these exercises in hot vinyasa yoga classes for 12 years. Planks, side planks, boat pose, arm balances, all kinds of strength training that gives one agility, balance, strength. That and we do powerful breathing. But I am just learning to swim and while I am glad I have such flexibility and core strength, the NOT breathing in and out all the time through my nose is my weak point. Holding my breath a long time is not something I am trained in. I am grateful for the tips so I can learn this new activity that, along with yoga, I plan to do for life.

Wowza! The breathing technique worked. Monday i was ole school (from 20 years ago) going 3 or 4 strokes before taking a breath and ran out of steam, just like i did many years ago, then Tuesday after watching your video, i tried breathing every other stroke and was shocked when i made it across the whole pool. Life changing. Thanks so much

[@SkillsNT]

Great job!

[@ЕкатеринаШишкова-о1р]

16:50 yeah! Went on vacation this week, I planned to go to the swimming pool. Didn’t visit for a while. The first thing which caught me off guard was how hard it is to control your breathing while swimming. I had a recovery swimming session. Little by little I noticed that I swim faster by rotating my body. I also noticed that it’s easier if your arms are straight but you still need to bend them. All in all, balance is truly a key in swimming ❤

@@SkillsNT I’ve started swimming regularly 4 years ago and watched so many different channels. You’re absolutely right about right advice at the wrong time is also a wrong advice. I learned so many lessons from mistakes myself and recently wrote up a personal note. Surprisingly it matches with so many of your points made in the video - especially the strength conditioning exercises for the core and back. I think teaching swimming is still ongoing development. There’s still no best teach method out there yet. But I do believe yours here is the closest guide thus far. Cheers.
