I have been trying to swim for almost a year now and still couldn’t swim more than 300 without being exhausted and having to stop or switch to backstroke. 5 minutes of these drills and I swam my first 750 freestyle without stopping! It may have been slow but I was able to do it for the first time ever! Thank you!!!!!
Congrats man!!!!
I so want to do this!!
Awesome :)
Congratulations Dan. I am where you were. Hopefully I can report the same in a week or two.
@@petermcdevitt3984 Did it work?
You described every single problem I’m having while swimming! I apparently have a bit of a problem with relaxing in the pool, I sink easily, and still struggle with breathing, all of it makes my triathlon dreams seem a bit impossible... hopefully I’ll be able to learn how to manage my breath somehow
“Just grab a little bit of oxygen” : words from an expert swimmer who’s not panicking for his life! 😆
😂😂😂😂
My favourite of your many fantastic videos. Thanks very much for posting this!! 👍
Can't wait to practice these in the pool. Thanks.
Wow thank you. I can't wait to try these tips.
Dude, your tips were fantastic! It's also soothing to hear you talk about swimming.
Thanks for the tune up for a swimmer who swam competitively in High School! Great reminders going forward!
Best advice I've heard in my continuous search for learning to swim long distance! Thank you
the most helpful video from thousands of similar videos!
Great tips! Can’t wait to try them! Thanks so much!!!
I’m happy to say that after like 20 min or so of sink downs! I’m breathing through my nose and it actually feels much better then mouth, I’m not feeling so much at of breath, I feel more relaxed and more confident when water gets in my mouth and nose!! I can’t get to get to the pool again!!
You've described some of my breathing issues perfectly! Thanks I'm going to stop doing lengths for a bit and go back to breathing basics👍
Thank you! I will practice this stuff tomorrow!
This video has some great information. I can't wait to try this. Thanks.
Thank you so much. It helps that your speaking is nice and calm too.
yeah! going to the pool was so terrible during the last two months cause I always felt like I was choking after 50m. can't wait to try out the drills and fall in love with swimming again. thank you!
Great videos thank you for sharing and will keep following this 🙌🏼☺️. While watching its make easy for a swimmer to swim consistently and very simple way. Love the way he delivers the steps and drills with videos from the pool at the same lectures explaining forms with techniques! Will recommend this to my other swimmers friends and non swimmers 🙌🏼☺️
Your breathing technique helped me immensely! I'm doubling my previous swimming sessions and I enjoy it more than ever!
I'm sinking, I'm sinking! My German coach: "What are you sinking about?"
This beginner videos helped me so much!
Thanks, I've only just started to try and learn freestyle, and this is basically the first true beginner's advice I've come across on youtube. I've been trying to work on my technique when I barely even know the basics, and feeling like breathing shouldn't be so hard for me as it is in the water since most "beginner" videos don't actually focus that much on it. But now I'm reaffirmed in my belief that breathing is where it truly starts and I will definitely be doing these drills next time in the pool!
Just wanted to say thank you for the tips, I have a lot of injuries from working on wild land hand crews. It's hard to run anymore, I followed all your tips and proper form witch was my worst mistakes. At first did I struggled a whole lot and was al the time out of breath. After 3 weeks of 2 time a week swimmimg, I'm happy to say I did 10 laps 25meter pool and didn't seem that hard. Its It's a big difference from when I started because at first I was not capable doing 2 laps with out being out of breath and vanished.
Form and proper technique always.
Still have issues syncing my feet to arm trokes but working on it.
The best advice ive had in 20 years ! Omg you absolutely nailed everything ive been doing wrong … im now on the road to my goals finally Thank You.
This was very educational. Thank you
I realised today (after weeks of practising) why I'm breathless and started doing the sink & breath drill before seeing this video. So thanks as I know I'm on the right track. My coach told me to slow mys stroke but I got breathless and discouraged when I tried that. Maybe now I'll make some progress.
Thank you so much for this amazing informative explanation will try this at the sea.
Thank you so much for this information!! Very helpful 😭
Thanks Coach.I want to train these drills.I just done my first triathlon two weeks ago.Need to improve my swimming especially breathing technique
I have been watching so many videos trying to figure out the right way to inhale-exhale when swimming... I usually stop because I need air, but not because I'm tired, but I think you just gave me the answer of what my problem is... kicking very hard..! yessss..!! that's me..!! I'll try all your drills next time I get in the pool, all what you say in this video, makes totally sense... thanks for sharing
This concept helped me immensely
I am a 49 year old who struggles with fear of the water. I have decided it is time to learn to swim. This is so helpful!! Thank you!!!!!
Good decision, I have just learned aged 52, it's fantastic. Get onto it you will love it !
I struggle with correct swimming technique. Completed my last Olympic Triathlon doing the breast stroke as wasn't confident with breathing in the front crawl. Watched a few videos on developing technique and this is one of the best out there.
This is massive for me. I have no issue doing the bike and run but I’m out of breath swimming 50 meters. This is why I have not committed to triathlon. I will check the program out. Thankyou very much.
Thanks for sharing you explain so we'll , appreciate I need to keep practicing 😃😃😃😃😃
So helpful. Thank you!
I started training and learning to swim.. 6 months before January 2020, I stop cause covid, now I’m back.. has been one month or so and 8 love to find this type or content because it changes the whole deal for my training.
Thanks for the tip.. I'll definitely try it
u youtube guys taught me how to swim i jus watch the videos and go to the beach..jus this sunday i went into the deep end by myself. i dont recommend anyone to do it but i faced my fear that day....now i jus need to control my breathing but i will get it the next time i go. Thank u
Good swim tips, as always! Maximizing comfort level in the water was integral to improving my swimming, especially as a new adult swimmer. I learned when I got tired/tense to roll into a side stroke or even just backstroke or back float so I knew I had that to fall back on if things got sketchy. Learning the vertical float built my confidence even more--you don't even have to scull to stay afloat and upright in a position where you can look around and see what's around you. With that comfort level, I felt better about pushing myself with any new concepts.
Very informative I hope that il do exactly as it is tomorrow thanks
Oh my gosh you make it sound so easy 😊 I stepped into the pool for the first time today after years of no swimming (beginner by the way) and all the tips went out the window 😂 Oh dear. Will keep at it though 👍🏾
I can so relate to this! You have described exactly what a "trying to be triathlete" feels! I am new and I panic. Thank you. I will try your plan
Planing to try today hopefully it my help
Definitely gonna try this
That swim drill program changed/improved my swimming!! Thanks again!
I have much difficulties in breathing.. Very useful video.. I will try it.. Thanks so much.
This is awesome! I didn't realize so many people have the same issues. I just thought I wasn't meant to swim!
It was helpful, thanks!
Can't wait to try these this evening! Thanks for these great tips.
Judy Polstra same!
Thanks, it has been very useful.
Great Taren! I'm just learning to swim correctly and those things you talk about in the video are I'm doing. I'm gonna try just right now! hahaha
Have been training for 7 weeks now, and haven't been able to swim longer than 300 yds. Immediately after doing these breathing exercise for the first time I swam 1200 yds. Could have kept on going but had another engagement. Just order Taren's book, and excited to improve more.
Thank you. Nice one. I'm still working on 'feeling' the water. The kicking thing is also quite something. The amount of propulsion it generates is virtually negligible, 2% or something silly like that. So all you need is the slowest kick that will keep you horizontal. The amplitude is also very important. Think of yourself as a torpedo in the water. If you can imagine yourself swimming towards yourself, you shouldn’t really see your feet behind you. If the amplitude is too big it will create even more drag. Somewhere within a bucket and a round dustbin lid. The down kick should also be timed with the pulling arm on the same side of the body.
Thank you so much 😊 it help me
THANKS!
Just finished the video. The third is sooooo me! My instructor keeps telling me to slow down but I always got panicked and wanted to go to the end of the pool to breath, so I kicked soooo fast and hard and turned out i lost my balance because of the out of breath, and it ruined my entire swimming experience.
Nice tricks and tips!!! Subscribed!
Welcome here, Marvin!
Very helpful thank you
Thank you so much
These drills seem to have some TI inspiration. I like it!
This video changed my life! I’ve been so tense under water. The fin technique helped me so much just learning how to have my face in the water. Everything he says about carbon dioxide is spot on. Not breathing out fast enough or taking too much air have been my problems
I'm new and i panic, thank you addressing the exact problem I am facing, I'll try your technique
Great video just subbed. Doin my first triathlon , I can bike and run for fun but carnt swim . Will use these drills tonight.👍
Thanks for the information
Instant saved!!
GREAT!!
awesome review. i have been looking just for this. i am a new swimmer and breathing and positioning and timing is actually really difficult to learn
You feel me bro...all you say is perfectly accurate.
Newbie swimmer here - panicked, out of breath after 25 yds (!), going as fast as possible to the end to hang on the end wall and suck in oxygen. So this vid is right on point for me! Thanks for the drills and tips, and also for recognizing this issue with newbies. CO2 is the mind killer...
Many thanks
Awesome!
thanks a lot for the info....i like it....right now i am training my daughter to join an ironman this coming summer...hope i can use this for her training...again thanks a lot
This is pretty much how I was thought to swim in the beginning. Now I already swim better than a stone! 🙂
So, I'm not training for a triathalon. I came here because I need to learn to breathe (again) while swimming. I grew up in and around the water and on boats and then about 30 years ago my life changed and I haven't been in water since. We bought a waveless lap pool about 2 years ago mostly because it fits where we live and we thought it would be nice to have something to splash around in and cool off during the summer, but my little brain keeps telling me to grab the harness and USE this opportunity and become a swimmer again. I can't wait to practice these tips, I feel like this is what I need. The first time I submerged in the pool I quickly realized I was 30 years older and not as confident as I used to be under water. It was... scary. I feel almost embarrassed considering my background. Thanks for these videos, I can't wait to be a swimmer again and maybe ditch this office bod.
Thanks for explaining... I do all this but didn't know why. I can swim indifferently and never out of breath. Never understood the CO2 build up..
Thanks!
I am 45 and i just learned how to swim 2 days ago!!!!i foeget to swim because i am coordinating legs and arms. So nice to move across the water
Going to try these drills my next swim. Everything you're saying describes me in the pool.... get super tired really quick and just want to get to the other end so i can breathe.
I think these are very simple and easy drills. I will do them as soon as I can though.👌😄😁😉🙃🙂😇😋😜😝🤪
aweaome!! tips!😃
This video changed my mentality and I suddenly completed a lot more laps today than I did before without getting much exhausted
Your voice is fantastic!
Perfect 👍🏼
Today I became a fan of Canadian Math, and a subscriber to your channel.
Thanks for the advice - you just popped up on my youtube. I have been swimming for 40+ years with little training and my least favorite stroke is the "freestyle" because I get out of breath too fast. I DO blow bubbles as soon as my face hits the water all the way till it's out but maybe I don't exhale hard enough, I just let it go out naturally. I will try to blow out harder without hyperventilating. I do however kick hard since I thought it would make me go faster and burn more calories. So I'll try to kick more lightly..... what was the third thing - keep my butt at the surface? I think it's there. Anyway going to see if breathing out harder and kicking less does the trick. I haven't yet figured out what I'm doing wrong. I also think my arms don't do much besides guide my stroke but maybe you have a diff vid for that. Nice explanations!
Thank you
loved it
great vid
Thanks
Hey that's a very good advice, thanks a lot
One tip, slow down just before the pool end so u have confidence to return. This helped me a lot at starting stage and increase my meters.
On January 10, 2024, I could only swim 15 yards ... if you can call it that. I carefully studied your book and focused on breathing, etc. Today, January 29, I was able to swim 75 yards without stopping. 25 yards is now comfortable. Focusing on 25/50 yard segments with workout totals of 300-400 yards. I always practice the breathing exercises BEFORE I start swimming. Thanks for your CZcams channel and book!!!!! You're awesome!!!!
Awesome Don, thanks for this! Would you mind leaving this as a review on Amazon or Goodreads?
Will do!!! On the way to the pool!!!!@@TriathlonTaren
Excellent
Thanks Taren, it's only been about 6 sessions doing the swim drills you gave me at the trianiac camp, (can I call it Camp David?... never mind) and I'm already running just shy of 15 seconds / 100m faster than when I came to see you! Body is running a lot straighter, (tauntness and alignment improving), breathing is perfect on both sides so quicker breathes as I'm blowing out all the used air prior to lifting my head, and really getting a good aggressive angle with my hand entry (fingers, wrists, elbows), and a better straighter pull. Moving much better and faster thanks to the focused drill set you gave me. Thanks again TT.
And that's just the beginning, Dave!! Keep at it, you'll keep seeing gains. Super happy to hear your progress!!
These steps aren't bad for a start. I do like to give newbs long fins to help slow down their kick, and to help with rotation.
Hello there! Nice, NICE video. You made me laugh when you were using your fingers to demonstrate panicked kicking in the water! LOL! x) 5:15
Thanks for the breading exercises.
My blind triathlete friend loved them.

💕✔️WOW! WHERE were you when I was a kid just trying to learn to swim!?😭
You should put your link in the description :)
1. Breathing (sink downs and blow out) 2. Floating (Superman floats, hands on side of pool and feet up) 3. Slow the hell down (pool edge & small flutter kicks, flutter kick w fins while extending 1 arm)
I came here to learn how to breathe when swimming and left with life advice. How did that happen?
