He gave deep insight of human body mechanisms according to each movement swimming style in the water. It takes time to grasp and adapt to my body movement. Great video.

[@eltribun]

I've been watching this videos now very interested, because I've been doing triathlon for almost 14 years now and have always been a pretty bad swimmer, without any real improvement. so this is ultimately my last hope to improve my swim finally. it is so frustrating always to get out of the water with the last ones, but to know that run and bike would be enough almost always to finish top30. So many thanks for upping the vids, they give me new motivation!

[@SVC-hz6dq]

Also, if you allow yourself to glide, that (again, as I can observe) is when both hands are opposed the higher distance to one another; one in the front and the alternate prior to starting recovery stretched backwards. The recovery of one arm would then take place simultaneously as the alternate one rotates the arm (seeking to keep the elbow high) prior to starting the pull.

[@09eena]

this taught me how to cross a 50m lap pool. just 2 days before I watched this video, I could only do a 25m and I was panting crazy.

[@SVC-hz6dq]

I had the same problem myself. The solution I found, observing Sun Yang's videos, is kicking with the same side as the arm that pulls, immediately before the latter starts. In fact, if I observed well, the arm entering the water (hence ready to push forward) is at the same point as the alternate arm ready to start the pull, which is the very moment of the kick. The sequence would be then, kick with your right foot and immediately after pull with the right arm; obviously the same with the left.

Practice syncing the right leg and arm movements with the underswitch drill that they do in the video

@YardMonkey hello there, i am not a super fast swimmer, however a year ago i was able to swim only 100m maximum while doing front crawl. Now i can easily do 2000m without getting tired. I can do that Mostly because this video (and other TI videos) exists. I never used any fins, pads or snorkler... I belive without it, you are more forced to imprint proper strokes. Distance swimming = only if you already have proper strokes... Jan

[@PerfectorZY]

there should be markers at the bottom of the pool that tell you when you reach the end, in my pool, there are black lines that end in a t shape that help me stay on track, and let me know when to turn

[@RoryODonoghue]

It's good balanced swimming technique. He makes no mention of Alexander technique. The less thought processes the better. Relax and keep it simple.

[@swimwithsue]

I always swim my free style effortlessly using flutter kick..now switching to TI forcusing on 2 kick is quite a chore and tired ..but I manage

[@sdmax00]

i am having the exact same problem! have you found any answers?

[@uhaish]

yes

[@dkaczmar]

to give an example: 1500m freestyle record holder Sun Yang is 1,98m (6" 6') tall - the same as Michael Jordan.

[@YardMonkey]

Hi there - firstly I must say that I am completely intrigued by your TI swim concept. I have very little swimming experience so I am very dedicated to learning your style. A quick question - as I try to put all the technique together, I am wondering if you feel it would be beneficial or detrimental to practice long distance swimming using a snorkel. This would take the breathing out of it as I try to imprint the proper stroke? Fantastic video series and many thanks for posting it.

[@haitaozhu9518]

Soooooo Awesome！

[@Harnas31]

so only the torso is rotating, head stays straight, right ?

[@dkaczmar]

no, you are wrong here. longer objects create less resistance. That is what I was explained at my TI training. Also look how tall the swimmers in Olympic finals are.

[@elinfiernoentusojos]

@TheLeilisa yes and also having 1 ft hands like michael phelps

[@jonathanmartin4435]

you are correct father!

[@klinsmeier]

@eltribun so did you make some progress meanwhile?

[@oaktug]

Breathing is the hardest one..There should be another way to make it easier..

[@swimwithsue]

Orkan Aktug use snorkel

[@sandip0sheta]

THANKS SIR

[@user-jy2tj6gi3j]

Interesting points. Which firm?

[@juliedonnellan2097]

It's not easy to get speed. It's bloody hard

[@RyanSHansen]

Not every lap, 6" total. You still have to push off the wall with your feet, not your hands.

[@c14davidhopkins]

Yes because compared to someone who's 5'6", you have to go 6" less every lap. Eventually that adds up.

[@robertrobertson9934]

This is really about applying the Alexander Technique to swimming. Not new, this knowledge has been around for 120 years

[@swimwithsue]

Robert Robertson yes applying again and it's good acts as reminder

[@mansengchio9161]

🏊😍😍😍👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@ThatFailedartist]

sigh @ 0:17

[@ashleybrookes86]

The only advantage is bigger lungs which will only help you if you want olympic medals ...otherwise the most important thing is having an efficient stroke, regardless of your height.

[@raven92m]

he is fucking right,but stop yelling

[@ThatFailedartist]

stabilizers need dryland workout that's why professional swimmers like mike phelps goes to the gym twice a week, you need to polish up your speech son.

[@fionalaughlin]

“Son”?

[@ThatFailedartist]

so much bad information i don't even know where to start
