Swimming tutorial. Legs. Part 3. How to improve your Freestyle Swimming Technique | Stroke.

This is part 3 of a series of swimming video tutorials on how to swim basic freestyle.
On this video I talk about what I consider the definitive factor on your speed while swimming, the legs. If you have the correct legs position and technique, this will be the motor that will drive you to success. Just like a boat, the speed is generated on the back and the stirring is mostly on the front
These tips and techniques will work best to help you improve dramatically your stroke if you do two things:
1- Focus on one thing at a time
2- Practice until you dominate that thing and move to the next.

2:16 "The straighter they are, the less resistance you will create" This is gold out of context😂

[@claudia2227]

Hi! I'm a 14-years-old girl and I'm trying to improve myself in swimming, 'cause that's my biggest passion since I was a child, but I stopped attending a course for a year (during this time I trained alone once a week). Watching your videos is the most helpful thing for me, because I want to re-start at best in the advanced course. Thank you so much, hope you will do some motivational videos. Sorry for my bad english and love from Italy🇮🇹🏊

[@miraz6375]

what a charming video :) its a pleasure to watch

[@robohippy]

I would like to see maybe a full lap of your kick from behind, with those lines, or at least a couple of arm cycles. With the green lines to trace foot/leg patterns, and maybe other colors to show arm patterns, I can't think of a better way to show linking the hip/shoulder/body rotation in freestyle. Oh, the timing of the kick and arm pull....

[@joseman2001]

Perfecto!, muchas gracias. Gran trabajo mostrando lo que es correcto y lo que no. Apoyando en las ayudas gráficas que remarcan o enfatizan. De lo mejorcito de KZbin

[@aymanmuhamad8942]

I've learned how to swim in 2 weeks thanks to you! however, I have a little problem in the open water pedalling too much gets me tired I mean when I have nothing to stand on... any tips?

[@Justsaying2U]

Man if you got any solution tell us too 😊

[@fghkufzc9833]

Can u show the timing of kicking and stroke? How they are cooperate to finish to 6 kick and two stroke? Like demonstrate on the ground 1. Kick left leg first 2. Stroke begin 3. Kick right leg 4. Kick left leg 5. Finish one stroke

[@c6786]

I like the music, it sounds great with the video

[@TWDay-sy6nq]

I am, so far, totally baffled by the kick stroke. I'm 75 and working at learning to swim well enough that it is at least a little fun. Today, at the suggestion of a friend I tried a paddle board to just work on my kick "stroke." That was enlightening, at the least. Just kicking alone gets me nowhere to slightly backwards stretched out with my hands in front as far as possible and just driving with the kick.

[@bijoudas5842]

Very good information 👌 most useful.

[@ritwikranka6846]

1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:09,960 "Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days." - Zig Ziglar. "문제는, 시간이 없는 것이 아니라, 목표(방향)가 없는 것이다. 우리는 모두 하루 24시간을 살고 있다." - Zig Ziglar. 2 00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:21,530 If you really want to get better at swimming, you need to learn how to kick properly. 진짜로 수영을 향상시키고자 한다면, 바르게 차는 법을 배워야 합니다. 3 00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:26,340 Here are four things that can help you perfect your kicking technique. 차는 기법을 완벽하게 하는 데 도움이 될만한 4 가지 사항을 알려드립니다. 4 00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:31,740 1. Hip Rotation 1. 엉덩이 돌리기 5 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,720 In the last video I talked about shoulder rotation. 지난 비디오에서 어깨 돌리기에 대해 말씀드렸습니다. 6 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,200 The hip rotation should be synchronized with the shoulders. 엉덩이 돌리기는 그 어깨 돌리기와 동시에 일어나야 합니다. 7 00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:42,120 While the hips are rotating, you must continue kicking. 엉덩이가 돌아가는 동안에도, 꾸준하게 차기를 계속해야 합니다. 8 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,920 The feet will be facing one side of the pool. 발등의 방향은 수영장 한쪽을 향할 것입니다. 9 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,200 And after a few kicks, they will be facing the other side. 몇 번 찬 후 이번에는, 발등의 방향이 반대쪽을 향할 것입니다. 10 00:00:56,620 --> 00:01:01,380 2. Knees slightly bent. 2. 무릎은 살짝만 구부립니다. 11 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,700 The knees should not be bent very much. Or else, you will slow down. 무릎을 과도하게 구부려서는 안됩니다. 과도하게 구부리면 헤엄치는 속도가 느려지게 됩니다. 12 00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,820 They should be bent just enough to have the power to kick down. 아래로 찰 수 있는 힘이 생길 정도로만 구부려야 합니다. 13 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,540 And then, use your hamstrings to kick up. 아래로 찬 후에는, 뒷다리 근육을 이용해서 위로 차십시요. 14 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,260 3. Legs spread just enough. 3. 다리는 충분할 정도로만 벌려야합니다. 15 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,000 If you spread your legs too much you will actually be pushing water forward, which is bad. 만약 다리를 과도하게 벌리면, 실제로는 물을 앞쪽으로 밀게 됩니다. 좋지 않습니다. 16 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,420 To avoid this, 이렇게 하지 않으려면, 17 00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:40,680 try spreading your legs just enough to touch the surface, and downwards just a few inches past the body line. 위로는 수면에 닿을 정도로만, 그리고 아래로는 몸통이 그리는 선을 지나 몇 인치 아래까지만, 다리를 벌리도록 하세요. 18 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,360 4. Ballerina Feet 4. 발레리나의 발 19 00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:51,200 If you already dominate all the other points of the tutorial, 이 튜토리얼의 다른 사항들을 이미 다 잘할 수 있게 되었다면, 20 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,140 the thing that will make you improve the most is the ankle flexibility. 기록 향상을 가장 크게 가져올 요인은 발목 유연성입니다. 21 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,540 As you can see here, my ankles are in dorsiflexion. 보시는 것처럼, 발목을 발등 쪽으로 굽혔습니다. 22 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,420 I do not go forward very fast, even though the only thing I am doing wrong is my ankle flexion. 단지 발목의 모양만 다르게 했을 뿐인데도, 그다지 빨리 헤엄치지 못합니다. 23 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,000 So when you swim, try to have your ankles in plantar flexion like this. 그러므로 수영을 할 때는, 이런 식으로 발목이 발바닥 쪽으로 펴지게 하십시요. 24 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,560 The thing with the ankles is that the straighter they are the less resistance you will create. 발목에 있어서 중요한 점은, 발목이 더 펴질수록, 저항을 덜 일으키게 된다는 것입니다. 25 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,840 Every one has different ankle flexibility. 발목의 유연성은 사람마다 다릅니다. 26 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,840 But while some say it is not possible to gain more flexibility than the one you were born with, 어떤 사람들은, 가지고 태어난 유연성보다 더 유연해지는 것은 불가능하다고 말합니다만, 27 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,860 you can get back some flexibility you've lost since you were baby. 태어날 당시 가졌었지만, 잃어버린 유연성을 조금은 되돌릴 수 있습니다. 28 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760 So be sure to stretch the ankles daily. 그러므로 날마다 빼먹지 말고 발목을 늘리십시요. 29 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,160 Thanks for watching! Swim fast! 시청해주셔서 감사합니다! 빠르게 헤엄치세요!

What is the background music??

[@ALG397]

thank you when i kick the water i move slowly how i can improve my kicking any more exercises

[@SkillsNT]

+ALG397 It's difficult to know what you can do to improve without seeing you swim, but most people bend their knees too much while kicking or don't have good ankle flexibility. I'll make a video ok that in the future ;)

[@ALG397]

thank you for your reply i'm waiting the videos

once i move my hands , my legs never get to the water surface , what should i do?

[@SkillsNT]

Yours legs don't need to get all the way to the surface, they just need to be horizontal to your body . Check out our video on smooth freestyle swimming, I think that might help you
