Freestyle Swimming: Arm Movement. Complete.

- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- This is my attempt at creating the reference that I wish someone had given me when I set out to learn swimming freestyle.
After 12 years of learning, this video combines everything I find important about the pull in freestyle swimming. I'll use the words of Brett Sutton: "Place, press, push makes my swimming go woosh!"
Many thanks to Sheila Taormina, who wrote the book that changed my perception of swimming: Swim Speed Secrets. (www.amazon.com/dp/1937715817/)
And many thanks to Huang for translating the closed captions into simplified and traditional Chinese! Last but not least, many, many thanks to Majo and Fernando Ramos for putting in a huge amount of work and translating the narration and the labels to Spanish and providing a Spanish audio track! You're awesome! 🐳💝

20 minutes, no ads, no sponser, no sale, just info. You are a great human. It would be amazing if you could do one for kicking too.
Thank you for the kind words! If I ever make another video of that kind it will definitely be about kick mechanics and kick timing. 🐳
@@schnodopics I'm an adult beginner and this video has helped me really understand the role of the arms so thank you for that.
@@schnodopics Please do one !
@@Spaxcore deyourtube
I had ads start and after few minutes minutes. I stopped
Masterpiece. I can't even imagine the amount of work and time that went into making this. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
Well, it did take me a while to get it done. 😅
Thank you for appreciating the effort! 🐳
@@schnodopics thank you!
At the end of the underwater phase, why not extend the arm completely, locking the elbow?
@@fernandomartinhofurtado4088 for two, reasons, I think: It prevents injury (golfer's elbow) and the change of direction from back to forward becomes more rounded. (Check out this link: tenniselbowclassroom.com/exercise/swimmers-elbow/)
By far, after browsing dozens of websites, the best place to correct mistakes and improving the swimming technique. Many thanks from Madrid.
I read the book, liked it, but was too abstract to implement. Then, I came across your video. I saw many videos about swimming, but this is the best one! Thank you for taking the time in creating it. I'm sure it helped many swimmers, like it helped me. Huge thanks!
I'm happy to hear that my video could achieve that. I created it, hoping it would have that effect for some swimmers. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
After years and years of viewing swim videos, this is the one to call, a masterpiece! Thanks for spreading the love!
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you very much for letting me know! 🐳
Aeh, ho jiak boh?
Best swimming video on youtube. A highly detailed catalog of all the touchpoints to focus on. Answered several questions about the feeling of the propulsive phase that I have wondered about, but that no one else has addressed.
This is exactly what I hoped my video might be able to achieve. Thank you very much for letting me know!
Nothing can beat this freestyle tutorial video
A better video might. 😉
But it is very kind of you to think so. Thank you!
I've watched hundreds of clips about freestyle technique. Many of them are very interesting and useful. But this video clip surely is the best!
Wow! That's a huge compliment. Thank you!
@@schnodopics You deserve many more subscribers and publicity, an amazing video.
@@faroukm4148 Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the video!
agree totally, watched also many many but that is very unique - great work
@@whocares623 It's very nice to hear that the work I put in wasn't in vain. Thank you! 🐳
What a masterpiece! Incredible level of detail shown of the proper technique but after reading his responses to comments, I'm equally impressed with the level of humbleness of the creator of the video. Such a kind and generous gentleman...thank you sir, much appreciated!
It is very kind of you to think and say so. Thank you for appreciating the effort! 🌻🐳
What a gem. I have been looking at swimming videos for several years and this is by far the best and most complete stroke analysis I've ever seen. Bravo.
It is very nice to hear that! I certainly did my best. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🌻🐳
Coaching for few decades now. YOU DID SUCH A EXCELLENT NARRATIVE VIDEOGRAPHY AND EDIT TO EXPLAIN IN DEPTH WITH EASY TO UNDERSTAND WORDS OF CHOICE. 👏
I did my best. Thank you very much for your praise and for taking the time to leave a comment!
You got me as soon as you mentioned Weissmuller, this is the best freestyle instructional video on the web..thank you as it will be a constant reference for me as I continue to re-train myself at age 72. I was coached some bad habits on my high school and college swim teams, your video has already started to bring me up to date.
Wow! That is huge praise from an experienced swimmer. I only told in my own words, and showed with the pictures that I saw in my mind, what others - more knowledgeable than me - have taught me. Thank you so much! 🐳
I have been swimming incorrectly all my life and just in the last few years swimming is my main form of exercise. I have been slowing learning how to swim correctly, watching tutorials and practicing. I have improved tremendously but I really wish I could have viewed this awesome instructional from the start of my swimming journey. This explains and shows with reason the freestyle stroke! 👍💯
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you'll keep improving and having a lot of fun while doing it! 🐳
Astonishing! This is the most acute, complete, clear video about freestyle! I think I'll learn it by hart.
I'm glad to hear you like it! Thank you!
However, I only focused on the movement of the arms. Even there, some might debate the "completeness", and I probably wouldn't argue too much. There are so many, many more relevant parts like body position, kick mechanics, kick timing, head position, breathing... It never ends. 🙂🐳
Just started learning front crawl and this video is excellent. I will certainly be trying these techniques out in the pool in the coming days.
Glad it was helpful! Have fun swimming and thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
That is the most comprehensive description of arm movement I have ever heard. I will watch this video over and over. Many thanks.
I've seen countless hours of swimming videos over 8 months since I am just learning, this one does truly sums them up all, but there is no way that I would have understood you if I hadn't watched them all.
It certainly does help having familiarized yourself with the subject beforehand and I'm happy to hear that you find my video useful. Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Thank you for the detailed explanation and phases break-down, I'm currently training for my first Half IM and this video is definitely helpful!
Thank you for the kind words! I wish you good luck and an awesome race day!
I have watched many freestyle instruction videos, but this is by far the best I have seen. Thank you very much.
That's nice to hear! Thank for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
After taking freestyle instruction from elite coaches for 5 years, I hit upon Sheila's book on freestyle only a month ago. Since, I have been re-reading the chapters on the stroke several times. The book is a source of inspiration, but hard to read. Your video says it all in just 20 min. An absolute masterpiece!
I'm really happy to hear that my video is making Sheila's fantastic work more accessible. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
The best video I've watched so far that explains arm movement and covers every details. I tried my best to follow the focus point during swimming today, got surprising improvement. The "going over a hump" is such a brilliant analogy that made me suddenly figure out the transition between catch and pull phase. Thank you very much!
I'm always most interested in hearing what particular visualization or analogy clicks with different swimmers. Thank you for letting me know what worked for you and also for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Thank you for this comprehensive and quite helpful explanation.
Thank you! I'm glad you got something out of it! 🙂
By far the best video I have watched. I spent countless amount of hours as well. This video, although with a lot of information captures everything in a short time. Well, done, well explained, and super useful. Thanks, Schnodo for putting in all the effort and digesting things for us, and put it back together as effectively as possible ... :)
I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the video. I really did try to clear out the fluff as much as possible. Thanks for the comment! 🐳
Thank you I have never seen something more comprehensive than this video
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you very much! 🐳
I'm a 70 year old who used to swim 1 km a day 1/2 a life time ago. Just returned to swimming on doctor's advice for knee arthritis and MAN I wish this stuff had been around 35 years ago. Brilliant.
I'm so happy to hear this from someone who has been around for a while. Thank for you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
this video is a great summary of all you need to know about freestyle stroke. thank you!
It's nice to hear that you like my video! Thank you very much!
I've watched tons of videos about freestyle technique. This is the first one that actually takes the time to fully decompose the arm movement, which is so essential to freestyle. Congrats to you Sir!
I'm happy to hear that you find my video well made! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
This is like 20 videos explaining parts of free style, condensed into one video !! Amazing job and thank you!!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
I have been following this video for few months and can already see the improvement. As many others have noted, this is one of the best explaination of Sheila's amazing book. And not only you've done such amazing video, you're engaging with people leaving the comments and helping them. This is such a nice gesture, and I applaud you for the efforts you've put. THANK YOU!!
Last week, I helped few people in my pool with the tips mentioned in your book. I feel best way for any of us to thank you is pay it forward in the community.
Thanks again.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this. Paying it forward is a wonderful concept and I'm really happy that you're spreading the word and helping other swimmers out. Thank you for your kind words and providing support for others! 🐳
Wow, great detail and marvellous schematics throughout the complete arm movement. Excited to apply this as I re-enter the water after a considerable layoff. My journey from “Competitive swimmer to triathlete to masters swimmer back to just enjoyment and fitness” now has a more important set of goals. Thanks and cheers, great job.
I enjoy getting positive feedback from beginners to intermediate swimmers because they're the ones I created the video for, but it's even nicer and quite reassuring to receive affirmation from experienced swimmers. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
This will be my guide from now on. The summary points for each topic is wall poster worthy! THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the praise! It's nice to hear that the effort was not in vain. 🐳

I commented two months ago when I 1st saw this video. Yesterday was a very special day for me. It was my 71st birthday and I set a personal best time for 70 lengths (1750 metres), about 2 minutes faster than my previous best time. This was due to me practising and improving my arm action. I am so very grateful that your video has made such a difference to my swimming. Thank you.
Wow! Happy birthday! 🌻
Hearing that my video helped improved your swimming that much in such a short time is really rewarding. But I only did the talking. You put in the actual work. 👏 Congratulations and thank you for letting me know! 🐳
This is the most detailed instructions for a freestyle swim technique out there on CZcams! I've rewatched it several times and will rewatch more as I improve my technique over time. This video is super helpful and easy to follow. thank you! I also think it would be helpful to take a note from this video on a piece of a paper and take it to a swimming pool, so it will be easier to practice and checkmark the points while doing drills and not forget anything. Good luck to everyone who is swimming out there and looking to improve their swim or learning from scratch, enjoy the process! You got this!
I'm glad you like the video! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Congratulations for producing such an amazing video! This is the clearest demo video on the crawl I have ever watched.
Thank you! I created it in the hope that many adult swimmers could benefit from watching it. It is very satisfying to receive such great feedback!
Masterpiece!, well done and well appreciated! This video is full of relevant information from beginning to end! Thank you for producing and sharing it with so many people! I laughed so much when you said that for many people swimming fast is bla bla bla! They simply live in denial as swimming faster with proper technic is heaven! 😁😁😁😁😁!
Thank you for the comment! It's good to hear that you found my video helpful! 😊🐳
Awesome. Clear. Concise. I’ll be implementing this for my 2k swims. Thank you for posting.
My pleasure. Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Great Video! Love the detail you put into describing the freestyle swim. One of the best swim videos on CZcams.
Very happy to hear that you like the video! Thank you! 🙂
Excellent - direct, clear, no nonsense - best I´ve seen.
I tried to avoid the fluff that I dislike in other people's work. Thank you for noticing!
Thank you! I really like Sheila Taormina’s books because she breaks the stroke down and really analyses exactly how the stroke works. But OMG you have taken it so much further. There is a ton of info here.
In addition to Sheila's great descriptions, I tried to gather analogies that I thought would help in building a mental image of the stroke. I also thought it would help to show how things can go wrong and how they should be instead. Thank you for noticing and appreciating that! 🐳
i think this is the best swimming visualisation video I have ever seen
When I started planning it, hoped it would turn out to be a good one. Thank you for confirming that! 🐳
just the best free style teaching video I have found
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Actuellement, la vidéo la plus compréhensible et la plus intuitive que j'ai vue sur le sujet ! Merci !
Je suis heureux de l'entendre. Merci pour vos aimables paroles !
The best video I've ever seen on youtube. I benefited greatly in the past two weeks from watching this video. Thanks so much for posting!!!
Great to hear! Thank you for dropping a comment!
So much to digest in this video, and it’s much needed. I’ll find myself watching this video over and over, finding different things to focus on for the next swim. Thank you for a great analysis!
It's good to hear you're finding my video useful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
I hurt my shoulder from bad catch form. Best video I’ve ever seen for proper form.
I hope your shoulder has recovered. I know that it can take a while. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
@@schnodopics No, actually I just met with my Ortho surgeon today and there is a full thickness tear so I'm going to have to have surgery which will keep me out of the pool for almost a year. But, my love of swimming is why I'm going to have the surgery. When I start swimming again it will be with a coach that can make sure I'm using proper form. Thanks for your videos! I'll see you in a year. 🙂
this is what i have been looking for. let's make every stoke counts, not counting every stroke.
Happy to hear that you like it! Thank you for leaving a comment!
Excellent book recommendation, also one of the best in my collection.
Thank you for backing me up! Everybody should own "Swim Speed Secrets". 🙂
Great video, great help in teaching my 68 yr old wife to swim .!
Good to hear! I hope she enjoys the process. Thank you for the comment! 🐳
Wow, this is an excellent video! I'm a 50+ yr old, former national level competitive swimmer, now age group triathlete and masters swimmer. As we age, we lose muscle mass, so I wanted to work on my swim technique to mitigate the natural pace slowing (from less strength). I've been watching quite a few swim videos on CZcams trying to finesse my technique. You can't capture everything in one video, but this one certainly does an OUTSTANDING job of capturing almost all the issues. Big thumbs up from a somewhat competent swimmer!
I created this video with others like myself, a few years ago, in mind: adult beginners, potentially struggling. The idea was to provide a few not-so-obvious "shortcuts" to better swimming (there really aren't any shortcuts but it helps being able to paint a detailed mental picture of what you're going for) that I would have taken gladly, had I known about them earlier. Hearing from an accomplished swimmer that I may have succeeded is huge praise. Thank you very much for your appreciation and taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
This is a really high-quality video, excellent instructions because it also discusses the “why”! And talks about shoulder injury risk. It has it all. Thanks so much, can’t wait to get back into the water to try these tips.
It's good to hear that you like the style of presentation! Thank you for commenting! 🐳
Thank you! I will watch this several times; amazing detail. I think I now understand HOW to engage my back muscles. I knew this is important I just didn’t understand how to trigger the back. Your explanation & demonstration make perfect sense. The shoulder & scapula positioning…so helpful.
I will watch your video several more times as I work on applying your techniques. I also love how you demonstrate the catch by using the tree log, then the pull concept which moves your body past the log. Brilliant!!!!
Also very helpful is showing the incorrect positioning then showing the correct ones. Many instructing videos only offer a verbal narrative of what not to do. I could really see the differences with your visual comparisons.
Thank you!!!
I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you for pointing out in detail, what about the video you found helpful. Much appreciated! 🐳
Grabbing an armful of water - that's the best tip in all of this. Thanks Tarzan.
You bet! He was an incredible swimmer. Thank you for the comment! 🐳
Amazing video! One of the BEST I’ve seen. Thank you for the detailed descriptions and the images of the correct movements as well as the wrong ones!
Really glad you find my video helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Excellent work!
Your video has really helped my understanding of certain swimming principals that, to this point, were confusing to me.
I owe you a beer!
That's exactly what I hoped it could achieve. Thank you for the feedback! 🌻
Best video on catch. Very detailed and methodical and connects all the pieces I was missing. So excited to try my new learnings. I appreciate you putting all the efforts for this video.
And I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Thank you! 🐳
Watching this video I felt I was Ian Thorpe. This is one of those videos that I will be watching again and again and again.
I'm happy for you! Thank you for the comment! 🐳
Best video I have ever seen on youtube about front crawl / freestyle technique. Pure gold.
Happy to hear it! Thanks a lot! 🐳
This is an incredible breakdown! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment! 🌻
Beautifully done!
The visual component is clear,varied and great to watch.
The dynamics of muscle movement's and comments re coordination with arm and joint movements
are elegantly presented.
Thanks for such a great presentation.
Thank you for appreciating the details of how I structured the video! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
The most detailed and complete explanation for free style hand movement i ever come across on CZcams. I practice it and it help me a lot with speed, especially on hand movement after catch before exit water part. Thank you for uploading the video 👍
You're very welcome! I'm happy to hear that you're getting good results! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
This was an amazing video and well done. The examples of breaking down the front crawl and all the fine pieces to make it beautiful and effortless is by far the best video I've seen yet on YT. I can't wait to practice these techniques in the pool!
Thank you🙇
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
This is so informative and much easier to understand with the live examples -quite a feat of photography for which I''m truly grateful! Thank you! I'm not very good at freestyle being mostly self-taught and have no speed whatsoever as my technique is terrible! So, I'm going to try what I've seen as soon as it's warm enough in the lake to stick my head back under water!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that I picked images that are helping you understand what's going on. Good luck with you swimming! Keep it fun! 🐳
Excellent teaching technique without a wasted moment. Thank you and thank Sheila Taormina for caring enough to do this!
Thank you for leaving a comment and appreciating the effort! 🐳
Masterclass, the most practical, informative and simple breakdown.. perfect 👍. Thank you
Happy to hear it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Wow best video! Thanks so much for making this. The explanations are so detailed and the side by side video comparing good and bad form is super helpful. Kudos!
It's very kind of you to leave such a nice comment! Thank you! 🐳
Well, thank you very much for this video. I am having a hard time trying to swim faster and this video has a lot of useful techniques and many answers to my questions. It is really a complete tutorial on freestyle swimming.
Thank you! Just keep in mind that the video only deals with the movement of the arms. And even there, you'll find more variation than I would want to discuss. For example, some very successful swimmers like Brent Hayden recommend not doing the "shrug" but instead keeping the shoulder neutral. And of course, there are the issues of kicking, kicking timing, kicking patterns, body position and breathing and breath patterns etc. The rabbit hole goes very deep. 🙂
Good luck with your swimming! 🐳
Muy buen video! Un resumen muy bueno de los 📚 de taormina!!
Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed to polish my style. I love every bit of it.
Glad I could help! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Thank you for taking time out to make this awesome video! Your narration and summary of each movement is easy to understand for a newby like me. Please keep the swimming tutorial videos coming. Subscribed alrdy. Just this video alone is so helpful. I’m going to watch it over and over again till i get my technique right😊Thanks again!
I'm happy to hear that you liked my video! I wish I had more time but I'm rather busy at the moment; so, unfortunately, making swimming videos is relatively low on my list of priorities.
Good luck with improving your technique and thank your for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Every day before I go swimming, I see this video.
Thanks a lot! It is really the very best content, that I have seen.
Thanks for sharing this powerful video!
Wow! Your words make me proud of having created something that other swimmers value. Thank you!
Outstanding..clear concise effective tutorial..a must share with students of the art of swimming
It's good to hear that you're finding my video helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
thank you so much! you did such great job with easy explanations and proper techniques
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment! 🐳
Thank you very much for creating this video. It's probably the most detailed video on this subject I have encountered. I didn't realise the arm movements were so technical!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
By far my most favorite Video on swimming!!!!!!!
I'm honored! Thank you for letting me know! 🐳
Far and away, thee most informative how to video I have seen on this subject! Believing is seeing and seeing makes learning so much easier to understand and improve by replication. Thank you 🙏
I'm really happy to hear that my video makes sense to so many people. Thank you for the praise! 🐳
This is the best video there is on freestyle swimming. I watched this and was able to do my first freestyle swim! 🏊♂🏊♂
Thank you for the praise! Keep improving and most of all keep having fun! 🐳
Greatest freestyle video I've seen in 25 years of trying to swim. Thank you, thank you.
Wow, thanks! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
I am new to swimming, and this is the most detailed and easy explained video I have found in my search, I know if's best to do the technique right the first time instead starting with bad habits. This will be my go to video, thanks.
I'm happy to hear that you're finding my video helpful. Thank you for leaving a comment. Have fun swimming! 🐳
Right? I’m going to have to watch this like 100 times to soak it all in (once before each practice).
Excellent work!! Professional explanations made easy
Happy to hear you liked it. Thank you for the praise! 🙂
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME MAKING THIS VIDEO. IT WILL BE MY GUIDE FOR ARM MOUVEMENT SWIMMING CRAWL. I SAW IT FOUR TIMES AND I WILL SEE IT, AGAIN AND AGAIN, EACH TIME BEFORE GOING TO SWIM. KIND OF MY DAILY ROUTINE!
It makes me quite happy that you find my video valuable enough to keep re-watching it. Thank you for letting me know! Good luck with your swimming and have fun! 🐳
Excellent analysis and such a great way of explaining proper techniques. So helpful to have the side by side comparisons of wrong vs. correct way of swimming freestyle. I've been doing it wrong for decades and now understand where the flaws are! Thank you.
It is very rewarding to hear that! That's what I hoped my video could do. Thank you for letting me know!
Absolutely fantastic video. Best one I have found by far! Thank you for all the work and love that went into this gem of instruction and motivation.
Thank you for the praise! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! 🐳
This is the best tutorial on this subject, thank you so much!
It is very kind of you to think so. Thank you for dropping a comment! 🐳
I have watched so many swimming videos and this one is easyly the best one!!!THANK YOU!
Awesome! Thank you! 🐳
The most comprehensive video I’ve ever seen detailing the catch phase. This will help me a lot.
Thank you! I'm always happy to hear that my video is helpful! 🐳
A very comprehensive breakdown of the freestyle stroke which surely will result in faster swimming if followed through meticulously. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation. Your voice is also quite soothing as well. :-)
That is very nice of you to say! I'm glad the message came through. Thank you! 🌻🐳
This is the most useful freestyle I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for making sharing the content 🤟
Thank you for leaving a comment! I'm glad to hear you've find my video useful! 🐳
Hello Schnodo, One of the best videos for front crawl arm movement, thank you 👍👍👍
Happy to hear it! Thank you for the comment! 🐳
The two throw method is awesome, i used to think the 1st throw is useless and not necessary and all your forward speed is coming from your 2nd throw, you explain it clearly ,really appreciate it !
It's good to hear that my explanation makes sense. The second throw builds on the speed of the first throw. Standing on the shoulders of giants, so to speak. 😊
I used to notice that elite swimmers apparently "wiggled" their hand mid-stroke. I wondered why they would not correct what I thought was a stroke defect. Only when I read about the two throws in Sheila's book, I realized that what I saw was the transition from pressing/squeezing during the power phase to pushing for the finish.
Thanking you for taking the time to mention that in a comment! 🐳
Fantastic! I don't have words to thanks for the video. Everything is perfect❤
The information, the velocity and editing.
That's huge praise! Thank you very much for the kind words! 🐳
Sir,
Thank you so much for uploading a comprehensive video that focusses on the "Arm Cycle in freestyle".
Being a self taught Swimmer, i must say that the Arm Cycle is, "THE MOST challenging element in the stroke".
After watching this video, I can bet my bottom dollar, that nowhere on web one can find a similar content.
Besides, I would really appreciate if you can extend the same effort (i.e. research) towards simplifying other strokes.
Thank You and Good luck.
Regards.
Amar Majeed (India)
Thank you very much for your comment! Your assessment of my work is very kind. I felt compelled to create this video because over the years I had been given so much valuable information that I could not find gathered, structured, and presented in an easily digestible form anywhere else. Unfortunately, a lot of effort goes into such a project. Swimming is only a hobby for me and I simply don't find the time between work and everything else that is important to me. I hope that someone else will create what you are looking for! 🐳
Brilliant. I am trying to master the free style technique late in life for triathlon and this video really helps. Thank you for breaking down this complex stroke in such an easy to understand way.
Thanks! Good luck with your upcoming races! 🐳
German engineering of hand movement of front crawl 😂 thank you so much for the details and anatomy of the movement (100 of 10 in dedication)
Love the wetsuit too
I did my best. Thank you for appreciating the effort and leaving a comment! 🐳
Thank you so much! You explain this very clearly, thank you so much. This is the best video I have ever seen
I'm happy to hear that you've enjoyed it. Thank you! 🐳
Fantastic! AGREED...this is the best arm freestyle video....Now, he should do a video on integrating the kick with arm and hip timing.
Thank you for your appreciation! Actually that's next on my list but it won't come anytime soon.
In the meantime, check out my playlist on kicking and rhythm; especially Paul Jaeger's video is very helpful: czcams.com/video/HKKry7FQY9w/video.html. And then keep it simple and do like Sheila suggests: For a six-beat kick, try to focus on one dominant kick and let the rest fall into place. For example when counting ONE-two-three, ONE-two-three, set the first - slightly stronger - kick with the catch on the same side: Kick with the LEFT leg when the LEFT arm catches, and with the RIGHT leg when the RIGHT arm catches.
That is the best ever ...Thanks a lot, all the information I needed, I have watched a lot videos till now, have not got that much information of arm movement techniques with this clear explanation like this video ...The too many books you have read and researches you did can be touched by the patient way you have explained every single arm movement in your tutorial. Appreciated.
It is very observant of you to recognize the diligence that was necessary to create this video and it is very kind of you to appreciate that effort. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
Absolutely love this video, im coming from 6 years of rowing now trying to swim for a triathon. These rowing examples are amazing.
Happy to hear it! I won't say it'll be a breeze for you, but having experienced for years how propulsion works in the water is something that puts you way ahead of many other late bloomers. My guess is, when you're swimming you'll actually feel when your "paddle" loses traction and be able to correct that. Combine that with the strength to produce a solid power phase, which I assume you have, you'll be plowing through the field no problemo. Good luck and thank you for letting me know that I didn't say something absolutely stupid about rowing, which I don't know much about! 😅🐳
Great video, the time and effort both in the pool and research that must have gone into gaining that amount of knowledge is mindblowing. To have a condensed reference point with so many useful tips with clear demonstration and explanation is fantastic. Congratulations Schnodo pics on creating such a great video and for sharing your knowledge. Know that it is greatly appreciated, Thankyou ..... 👏 👏 👏
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to so eloquently express your appreciation! 😊
You're right, my little project did require some effort, but receiving wonderful feedback like yours makes it well worth the trouble. Thank you! 🐳
Amazing and so detail in explaining, really appreciate it ❤️
Thank you for the kind assessment and for leaving a comment! 🐳
The best swimming video, ever. Excellent video.
It's very kind of you to think so! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🐳
In my first pool visit since watching this, I managed to make a fundamental change to my stroke. I have struggled for a long time to get a "high elbow". Within 5 minutes, I could feel my stroke had changed. Suddenly, I could feel what I had heard many times and never been able to master - "getting an arm full of water". I was using my shoulder and back muscles to keep my arm curved instead of trying to manage it with my arm muscles. After half an hour, I got out of the pool and could feel that my shoulder and back muscles had been working - a completely new feeling after my regular, morning swim. I had given up on improving mys stroke but this video has really excited me. Thank you so much.
And thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌻
I love those moments when something clicks and you're suddenly able to actually feel a concept that everybody was talking about but that personally seemed completely foreign for a long time.
A word of warning: Don't overdo it. It is okay to feel your back muscles after swimming, those can handle a lot of work. If you still keep feeling your shoulder muscles like that after a week or two, you're probably working the shoulder too hard. Give your body some time to get used to activating unfamiliar muscle groups and then be very careful to protect your shoulder. Keep the shoulder stable, perform the catch with VERY little power. Best of luck! 🐳
