FREESTYLE SWIMMING: 5 MOST COMMON MISTAKES

[@SwimUp]

What do you think is the biggest mistake? 1st - Low elbow arm stroke 2nd - Arm stroke while breathing 3rd - Lifting head for taking a breath

[@mohammadkhayata334]

SwimUP 3

[@nasimdarya1425]

1st

[@noran1026]

3rd mistake puts body out of alignment so I imagine it results in the biggest inefficiency. However, which one is the worst to one specific swimmer, also depends on the degree of the mistake, ie slightly or obviously.

[@fabian13333]

3d

[@frankhf3862]

I'd also go for the 3rd because it's the one that shows me that you are not comfortable in the water. If you know how to breathe and are relaxed, all other problems can be solved.

[@kuthanc78]

Extremely helpful video. My only suggestion is to split the screen into two videos, showing the mistake and correct technique side by side in slow motion.

[@AaronMai90]

Kuthan CELEBI good advice indeed.

[@sonnynaps3396]

Yeah that will help beacause newbies like me, mistake and correct technique kind of like the same to me

[@tayjung3568]

IMO, This video is well made. But I also think it would be better if signs to distinguish between wrong and correct cases are more clear

[@Blackjack-rs8vs]

Yararlı felan değil eğer beginner değilsen bu hataları zaten biliyor olman lazım.

[@wandersl]

Oh indeed. The only "wrong" part where he looks like he doesn't know how to quite show it is the last one, with the bent knees. All the others I was very thankful for the hints on whether the video was showing wrong or right :D

[@alfredosierra2612]

[@chewbrookaw8588]

I definitely struggle with the breathing. My form falls apart completely when i feel desperate for a breath. I’m a beginner and it’s so hard to focus on the correct form when I feel distracted by breathing at the wrong intervals. I will definitely be trying your drills to improve my breathing patterns! Thanks for the great video!

[@SubodhJ357]

Do breathing walk.. improve some breathing... then practice better... in time you'll gain confidence and will do better

[@ig5651]

focus on breathing out when in the water so you don't hyperventilate. Make small bubbles when breathing out.

[@Marsha-be]

This is my issue. I really want to get better 😞

[@petarpanonski]

As the fear of drowning is the most basic fear, we tend to breathe in too much air. Probably your problem is too much CO2 in body because you breathe in large amounts of air and not exhaling all the way. You can exhale for much longer periods than inhaling. When feelnig you can't breathe anymore, stop at the end of the pool, hold on to a rim and try to find a calm breath cycle by inhaling above and exhaling with head under water by being focused on your breathing as you're doing it. Try this for a week and you'll be surprised how your breathing improved. REMEBER TO EXHALE FULLY! You can also practice outaide the pool by holding your breath as long as you can whilst you exale.

[@kakashi_cks3159]

Me too whenever's I'm freestyle I always go out of form and when I breathe I feel like I don't HAVE oxygen and I have no energy after I breath

[@giacomoguarnieri2461]

I have just started swimming recently (~1 month ago) and there is no adult class at the pool where I'm going, so I have relied on watching many YT videos explaining how to swim properly. This was the best freestyle swimming lesson video I came across and it REALLY helped me.: Yesterday I made use of your precious advices and "unlocked" my first mile of consecutive freestyle without even getting tired (I know it's nothing but before I was able to only swim for 250m consecutively, so it's at least a factor 4 boost just happening out of the blue). So, thank you very much, I will keep trying to improve following your videos!

[@pattybishop758]

This is the best video. Thank you so much. I am 72 years old and determined to achieve freestyle. This video will definitely help me

[@ishigoku]

Patty Bishop no age n never too late to learn when there is a will there is hope You can learn anything in this life it all depends on the teacher This video is fantastic I started swimming a year nhalf ago From unable to swim 25 meters without beeing out of breath due tozero techniques Now i swim freely in freestyle And after exactly a year i was able to swim a full 1 km in one shot And sometimes 2 km when my schedule allows I wasnt a swimmer quiet afraid of water especially deep water It bothered me for so many years Finaly i told myself enough i ve got to know n learn how to properly swim

Hands down, this is one of the best freestyle swimming advice videos around here! I am swimming casually freestyle since a few years and working on those mistakes, helped me increasing my speed and endurance big time! Last habit i broke, was doing strokes while breathing. Fixing this, really took some hours, but once you get the hang on it, you see an improvement immediately! Thanks!

[@RJ-zc5vt]

This is the most detailed video on FreeStyle Swimming. You have done an absolutely amazing job at explaining the cruical aspects. Indeed the best video on FreeStyle. Keep-up the wonderful work.

[@smb06]

Definitely #2. Never seen a video directly call this out and I notice that my breathing side I always pull much earlier than my non pulling side. Going to focus on this on my next swim session.

[@MrCaneast]

I have never known how to swim all of my life. I have always just stood in the pool or ocean just watching my wife and 3 children swimming and finally took swimming lessons for 2 sessions in a row last year and I have never been shown these techniques. I finished still not knowing how to swim. These are exactly what I should have been shown. I find I'm partial to oxygen so I needed to know how to breathe while practising the techniques. Thank you very much. (By the way I'll be 71 this year and was born and brought up near an ocean beach).

[@Thattrainguy9]

Thank you for making this. I realized that I was doing a lot of things wrong and this really helped and made me realize how to swim correctly. Once I put it into practice the results were amazing. Thank you!!

[@halinamcgee901]

Thanks so much I am 67 years old and have never swam laps before I started swimming 12 months ago doing a form of breast stroke. I got up to 60 laps in an hour and 40 mins decided to change to freestyle and only swim for 60 mins as I was too exhausted for the rest of the day. Now I swim freestyle with added flippers as I couldn’t even swim a full lap without them. I swim 50 laps in around 65 mins 5days a week . I’m hoping I can get the right technique so I can enjoy my swimming much more. I just stumbled across this video on KZbin and I love it.You give easy instructions so I am hoping I can adjust my swimming style to make it more enjoyable for me. Thank you so much.

A big Thank you for including the legs. Most instructional videos pay little attention to the legs. Having said that, the most common mistake for me is everything you've instructed, especially lifting head out of water to take breath .

[@WealthyTurtl]

My shoulder was paining because I was opening my palms while taking it out of water - I realised that it was creating a lot drag and was incorrect. I was also doing short arm strokes and getting tired quickly. I learned more about breathing quickly and smoothly. Thank you for this informative video.

[@weiwei0922]

Thanks for the tips in this video !! I've had difficulties in freestyle swimming recently as I wanted to improve my swimming skills. To me, the biggest mistake might be lifting head while taking a breath and low elbow stroke, plus wrong kicking, and I felt extremely tired every time I do a freestyle swim.

Yet i have achieved 1200 Kms swimming in 3 years which makes me wonder how much energy i have wasted using the wrong swimming technique.I swim daily as a exercise hobby for fitness.A excellent simplistic video and thanks for the same.

Yet again, a brilliant video from Swim Up. Low elbow stroke and arm stroke while breathing were particularly helpful for me as these are my biggest errors. Very simple corrections are given. I have already videoed myself performing the arm stroke and can see the benefits already of turning the forearm into the correct position. Looking forward to practicing these. You have a new subscriber! Bravo.

This is really very good. Though I have watched many videos and still struggling to avoid mistakes. I believe this video will definitely help me to improve efficiency.

I have always been a fastest swimmer in the group. I started swimming very early without any coaches or lessons it was just like an essential life skill for me. I realised that there was something wrong when I was out of my breathe after 20 mins of free style swimming and some old dude just kept swimming for a straight hour. Now I see how inefficient and wrong my swimming style was... I breathe after 10-15 strokes. I hold my breathe. I always breathe from the same side. I don't use my legs at all..

[@harish123az]

breathing from the same side isn't an issue, most Olympic swimmers do that

[@cmclean1954]

Breathing on one side is proper. Holding your breath starved your muscles of oxygen ! End up w fatigue and lactic acid build up

[@dogeman0719]

Ah, I had been facing the same issue, but I got tired very fast, I thought breathing less will save time somehow.

[@XelarVFX]

@@dogeman0719 it does save time but it's more demanding on your body

[@justadude2835]

@@harish123az it isn’t an issue in competition but during practices you should be trying to breathe to both sides

This is amazing, the tip about touch the leg while turning the head helped me to breathe correctly. I can’t thank you enough! I was suffering with water on my nose for a month!

[@acabello-]

Recently, I learned how to be in the pool comfortable, in other words, I learned how not to sink. But, I want to learn how to swim properly. This video made me realized the mistakes I make when I practice. For example, my arm strokes are not strong enough because I am not pushing the water instead I am spinning it. Also, the breathing part. I have to breathe while my hand is in front, not arm stoke when you are taking air, “Start a new arm stroke only when your head is back after the breath.” Kicking against the wall is a good technique to practice taking a breath, it will allow turning to the side to get air instead of lifting the head up. For sure, I will try the techniques that the video provided. A comment says to show the mistake and correct technique side by side in slow motion and I totally agree.

[@miguelbarrera8052]

Really nicely explained and demonstrated. I didn't really know the proper arm swing until now. Something I've noticed on pros when breathing is that thanks to the speed they carry, the head cuts through the water and creates a kind of wake which leaves a sort of "vacuum" and that leaves the swimmer's mouth actually below water level which allows him to breath without having to turn the head more than 90° without lifting the head as you also rightly mention as the mistake. Am I correct?

[@ceceliac10]

Thank you so much you are a brilliant teacher I have saved this video as its packed with important and useful information for beginners swimmers.

[@batkovan]

[@noran1026]

Thank you for giving us learners another great video. I’ve recently realized that shoulder flexibility, round shoulders to be specific, can limit how much a swimmer’s ability to perform proper techniques & recruit lats. One year into swimming as an adult, my swimming still doesn’t get my lats sore anywhere noticeable like lat pull down. I started butterfly a little bit and suspected that not having enough shoulder flexibility is one of the reasons I can’t seem to get my arms out of the water sufficiently. Will you kindly consider to do a video on a extensive shoulder flexibility routine? Thank you!

[@y.g.1313]

Very good point- I am thinking the same. When I looked at the mirror, while hand extended vertically upward, I was shocked to see (side-view) that it is not straight, like I think it was.. another prof. swimmer standing by my side did the same - his hand was extended straight. My limitation - shoulder flexibility.
