Great video thanks for sharing
I always wondered the specific reason for the fist drill. Thanks for these drills!
Good demo and I especially liked the tip on swimming with the paddle high on the wrist,
thanks for this trainings, super important!!! thank you again
I’ve been swimming for years but in a fairly self-taught way, but now I’m making amends so I’m binging on these videos. Anyway, I’m doing better but sometimes I’m not sure if I’m keeping my elbows up or not. I do both drills you recommend and I’d say the hand paddles help me the most with EVF.
I’m looking forward to your next video because I need to improve my breathing, and I always run out of breath. I think some things only come with time, but I’d love to get some pointers. Thanks!
Keep up the great work! It takes time and effort. See you at the next video :)
Thank you for the tips. When I go to my pool at 5 a.m. - right when they open - I have a lane to myself - :)
😀
Thanks so much👍
Very helpful!
Thanks coach..... It helped
Super video!
Just what I needed.
Hi there. Thank you for posting these drills. This is a very well done video and I will be trying these drills next session. Question for you: at the beginning of this lesson you mention that you have other videos on drills for the kick as well. Will you be posting a link, or how does one get access to these? Many thanks for the upload. :)
Hi Peter! Glad you enjoyed the video - hope the drills help! We'll be posting our next video in this series soon. Just follow the channel and hit the notification button! You can also check out the Fares Ksebati CZcams channel for more kicking tips here: czcams.com/video/008Fscz2ah4/video.html
I like your videos because they're concise and well presented. "In theory" I know all of these things but it's always good to see the different drills that different coaches use to implement them.
I also like that you focus on technique and the basics. There are so many videos out there aimed at competitive swimmers who want to shave milliseconds off their PB and seem to have all the (pool) time in the world to follow an ultra optimised training schedule.
I'm in my late 40s, I swim with a social club and I just want to keep doing it - largely injury free - till I drop dead, haha. A good technique is essential for that so thank you.
One question: I have smaller, ergonomic paddles - what's the advantage of using larger ones and grabbing them without slipping them on, the way you do?
Hi there! Grabbing the paddles helps with your early vertical forearm (EVF). When you glad the top of the paddle it forces your wrist to stay in line with your arm so you can get a better feel for that high elbow catch and pull!
excellent comparison of the straight arm lousy technique I use vs. what I am trying to get to, good drills, thanks for the great video :-)
Glad we could help! Let us know if you ever have any questions and happy swimming :)
Thank you
thank you ~ looking forward to your breathing clip
I am gonna try it
Very nice information thank you
You're so welcome! Happy swimming :)
Thankyou very much ...✨✨✨✨
nice!
Taylor , you are the best swimming tutor I have come across on ytube. The background was bit noisy though. I have subscribed .
Thanks for tuning in! Happy swimming :)
Hi. What a great instructional video. I hope you read this question: I own a snorkel, but i was told to not use it. Can you please share in what instances it makes to use it in training? Thank you so much.
I’m not a pro or a coach or anything but I assume breathing with a snorkel allows the swimmer to eliminate the focus of breathing during a stroke. There’s probably a different, better reason tho
Merci 👍
I like her way to speak. So clear and cute. Thanks!!
Thanks for doing this , I am recently learning free style swimming
Keep up the good work! It's all about progress!
Can you make a video on the deep pull/straight arm pull
Mam which glasses I will purchase because I learn swimming in India without glasses if it's possible send me link of that please I followed you for last 2 months tysm for ur efforts and it's my one of the dream now in my dream list to meet you and train under you for the compititions because here there is less or I guess no opportunity in swimming I said about my area where I am living. I actually want to achieve medal in this field.
Interesting instruction
I'll try it today.
Where are you filming?
Let us know how it goes! This was filmed at the Thanyapura Sports Resort in Phuket, Thailand :)
I tried your way
Surprisingly felt different
At first, it became faster unbalancing my tempo. But, eventually easier on shoulder s gliding faster. Thank you so much.
This drill helped me in my swim workout earlier today. Thanks and keep sharing good content to improve our swim
Keep up the great work and happy swimming :)
많은 도움이 되었습니다. 감사합니다. From Korea
천만에요 :)
I think it is useful
Good comment.
I will give it try
thanks from Korea
Thanks for tuning in! Let us know how it goes :)
Where is the pool located, don't need specifics, just like country. I'm curious with the palm trees in the background. 😅
Snappy, coherent, enthusiastic - very fine instruction.
loved this! the shoulder pain is not there anymore!
So glad to hear that, Hamed! Keep up the great work :)
Thats a nice pool!
It really is! It's the Thanyapura Sports Complex in Phuket, Thailand :)
I love you so much
wow, that's a nice pool in a nice place. Thailand right?
Yes, it is! The Thanyapura sports resort in Phuket, Thailand :)
Super 👌👌👌👍
Next camp in Thailand

I’m new to swimming, I have been learning on my own for the passed two months. I find the high elbow catch actually less comfortable and weaker, surely I am not doing it right😄
It takes some time to learn and that's ok! Try these drills out next time you're at the pool. They will definitely help :)
Try slowing it down. A slow high elbow catch will beat a fast straight arm.
Try and feel the water and push it back.
Sometimes people try to pull too early as well. Focus on getting the catch, even timing it to just increase your naturally falling arm.
But alternatively you can change things up a bit. I've recently increased my roll and reach, when I was always trying to limit it. Surprisingly it's decreased my drag and helped my arm stay higher and a better high elbow catch. It's just practice, time in the water. Get someone to film. Join a swimming crew. Just some ideas, but enjoy :)
Keep your other arm stretched straight out in front while you are pulling and pushing with the high elbow.
Please add to Turkish subtitles 🌻
The way she put her cap on so easily-
Would never have thought about using the paddle that way. Cool idea.
are there specific types of paddles recommended for someone who’s not used them before?
If you haven't used them before, start off small! We like the FINIS paddles.
@@myswimpro thank you! i just dropped a pair into my cart. going to try out a snorkel too! myswimpro has taken me from swimming a panicked, hyperventilating 25yds to happily completing a 2500yd dawdle to relax! it has changed my life!
So glad to hear that! Keep up the great work and happy swimming :)
I fell in love with this girl.
Did you mean wearing fins for both fist and paddle drills?
You can! It's up to you. Try a set with and a set without :)
I am sorry but either am I misunderstanding something but I dont see your elbows being high during the pull phase. It seems like your are catching the water but then you drop your elbow, when pulling.
Clear, concise and helpful video EXCEPT for the annoying and extremely distracting hip hop track added to the background!!! Please, please, please nix it; try experimenting with background tracks with no vocals. I had to strain to listen to your content.
Agree
Thanks for the feedback! Sharing with the team.
@@myswimpro I agree with the above mostly. I am fine with backing music but it ought to be in the background and not overpowering the speaker, if the music here was half the volume it would be great.
Can’t imagine that a continuous music background of any kind in a classroom or a lecture hall would help drive the message home. Just because it’s technically possible doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
People are exagerating a bit, english is not even my first language and i didnt have a problem listening to taylor at all, its true that it could be just a little less distracting but a the same time it gives a dinamic and fun feeling to the lesson, if anything, maybe turn it down a bit, but its not a big deal IMHO
You are so cute with glasses 😍 atta girl
Your comment, at the start of this video, about the straight arm pull not being the most powerful is not correct. Straight arm pull and recover is used by all of the men 50 meter sprinters. Most of the women do not do it. This is a power move which gives you a faster stroke rate, and for a flat out sprint, this straight arm pull/straight arm recover/kayak/windmill stroke is best. It is not some thing that can be done by anyone for much more than 50 meters, and pretty much all swimmers will use it for the last 10 or so meters of their races for the winning 'kick'. You do need to train for it, and if you try it without training for it, you will have shoulder problems.
Hi there! When we said the straight arm pull is not as powerful, we meant the portion that is under the water. The straight arm recovery (over the water) is what sprinters use and that is proven to be more powerful. However, they pull with the early vertical forearm under the water for maximum pull. Hope this makes sense :)
@@myswimpro For any distance over 50 meters, yes, for the 50 meter men's sprint, straight arm pull, straight arm recover. The women do not swim this way because they don't have the muscle or power to maintain it for any more than the last few meters of a race. The longer lever of the straight arm is more powerful than the shorter lever of the EVF. Physics 101. Yes, it takes a lot of power to do this.
This is a much different arm pull than what is used in the 100 free:

Greetings from Türkiye.I am the fırst person who come
hi pretty teacher
ur speaking is so fast
pls make subscribe
Lane to myself?! hahahahhahahaha... no :(
Why add all of the distracting background music and noise to this? It just detracts from what you are trying to convey.
Swimming is making me mad.I bet I am a lot stronger than this lady but she would leave me for dead in the pool.
Very clear and concise, also to show how ist very good 👍🏻 ✊🏻 demonstrated 🫡. Better than Fares 🫣. Please, I don’t want to take as a offence, Fares
