Tip: Have the arms moving forward on the train tracks (# 11) is a good way to remember hand entry position.

Hi Brenton! Just wanted to say thank you so much for being such a brilient swimming teacher. I m still learning and I took some swimming lessons. As I m an adult learner I find your Fridays videos very helpful. So please keep up the good work, your hard work is much appreciated by many like me who wants to learn and improve their swimming experience.. Thank you.

Thank you, I just Incorporated swimming into my daily exercises, its great.

[@Alltagsabenteuer]

Great advice and memorable mantras. I like the small corridor! I probably do all of these mistakes times ten. But working on them.

[@leslietennant1]

Very helpful, even though I probably need to watch a couple of

[@rayleeholcomb7134]

one drill that I do is called the hand tuck where when you recover you touch your side instead of letting your arm drift outward

[@motorspice548]

Love your training videos. I watch and listen very closely and have been mindful of my strokes. Is it beneficial to use the hips, swinging them from side to side with the strokes, starting from the hips and gliding on the side?

hello brenton a fan from india here , this particular thing helped a lot thnx for breaking it down.

[@Jeph629]

Another excellent vid demonstrating the biggest mistake I see: crossing the midline, thus creating a side-to-side vector. What wasted energy! This is critically important to correct!

[@wallyworld6249]

Well Done! Great detailed explanations. Key comment: If it still feels normal, no change has been made. Thank you.

Excellent channel - what do you recommend for a typical swim cadence for a 6 footer

[@trykozmaksym]

I just saw myself in that video - the narrow corridor is what I'm always missing :) Thank you for the analysis!

[@ironmantooltime]

cheers coach! straya! 😊

[@pablovillegas1332]

I really like the videos but i think it will be better getting more underwater shots and angles so we can really see the diferences

[@thibod07]

Thanks Brenton, your video is so appropriate! I am trying to correct my leg movements that are I believe so Inappropriate! Unfortunately I do not feel my legs when I swim. I go on the basis that if I am much faster when I don’t use my legs then when I use them I must be doing something inappropriate with my legs. I guess this is a fare assumption. I will try to get a friend take a video of my swimming then I will know for sure. Thanks for that video clip as I believe that I am doing the same thing which mean that my arms pull are not appropriate either! Back to the pool! 😁😁😁

[@arishzida1548]

Thank you for use everything really help swim 🏊‍♂️ nice

[@likemarksee]

Could crossing (and poor reach extension) be caused by limited range of motion in the shoulders. Perhaps his non optimal alignment is caused by limited range of motion and flexibility. Is full correction even possible with-out flexibility training?

[@mabelcharlotteschilfrohr5108]

thanks Brenton! The girl in the lower video has such a beautiful stroke for us to model on! Typical elegant Aussie swimming ! yippee!
