- What makes you tire after 50m or 100m? If you're breathing by exhaling through your nose (instead of mouth) and still having trouble, try these 5 things...
I'd recommend going through the 'Virtual Freestyle Clinic' drills in the Video Membership which will help you swim faster for the same effort, reduce your drag and get better results in your swimming.

First comment on CZcams ever. I'm a relatively new triathlete and had sinky legs. 2 hour run, got it. 100m swim...heart rate 180. Fastest 100m was 2:08. Did literally ten minutes of drills from the things in this video; chest up, belly in, fewer kicks timed with the catch and my first 100m after was 1:44. That's 24 seconds in one session. Faster, easier, and HR was at least 30 beats lower. Revelation. THANK YOU!!
I have sinky legs too...head position helps a TON with this. If you look down your legs will stop being super sinky...
@David P 1:01 for 100m? Are you a triathlete or a swimmer?
Great to hear! I think i need to try these....very new to triathlon also!
Pl0]has
@David P ur slow I swim a 57sec 100m free get fast loser
100? I’m exhausted at 25!
Antonio Avila 😂😂😂😂 this is me
Try another sport
@@bigjohnson9606 you are the definition of an asshole
I cant even do 12.5
Alan H thanks for sharing!
I go to gym for swimming only. 54 years old quit smoking after 35 years. Getting better slowly.
I want to quit smoking too. I am 23 smoking since 6-7 years
@@AbhishekPatel-ps9pz do it. Best decision ever :)
I learnt freestyle swimming a year and a half ago at the age of 36, it took me about 6 months to get to the point of being able to swim 500m non stop without having to stop in between. I find all these things very useful HOWEVER in my opinion no swimming coach ever adresses the one true thing that's preventing you from being able to swim freestyle: You can't pull yourself through the water enough!
I think it's that simple.
You don't have the muscles on your shoulders and back to be able to pull yourself enough to be able to create enough speed to be able to float on the surface to be able to move through the water. You can learn how to kick properly, early vertical forearm, breathing, body position etc. but you still won't be able to pull yourself through the water. The only way to do that is by strenghtening your muscles in and out of the water. I think swimming coaches take this as self evident and don't address it. When I discovered the feeling of pulling water heavily with my arms it became clear that I can do no more than about 10 miserable pulls before being fully exhausted.
After 1 and a half year of regular swimming the muscles on my arms, shoulders and neck visibly changed (some feel like steel!) and now I can swim freestyle forever even with a poor technique. Your arms, shoulders and upper back should hurt while you're learning how to swim freestyle, otherwise you'll never succeed. There's no easy way of learning this, only if you can endure some pain. For beginners there's no such thing as effortless swimming guys, that part comes after you've gone through the pain.
Cheers and love to every swimmer out there!
Wow, thanks for sharing this :))
My triathlon coach cannot emphasize enough the strength training sessions. Twice a week we have an hour of strength training with focus on exercises that build the muscles needed for swimming, running and cycling. So, the aim is not to gain a lot of muscle, which would have quite the opposite result. Also for triathlon you need A LOT of open water swimming, as swimming in a pool is one thing, swimming in open water is a different beast. I know, I had plenty of panic attacks and still can get over it all the time. :)
Not sure about this. I know someone who is not super athletic. She has good cardio but her upper body is not strong at all. Yet, she is able to swimming non-stop for 30 minutes like it's a stroll in a park.
Eh. I don’t know about that. I’ve seen plenty of lesser muscled folk move through the water continuously and almost effortlessly for 500, 1000, even 1500 meters. The frail elderly as well. Lung capacity, aerobic capacity, and being a comfortable swimmer matter most. And of course, having decent technique. Though from what I’ve seen, there’s a lot you can get away with form wise, assuming it’s freestyle.
Glad you found swimming and enjoy your next workout!
So so true well said.ive been looking for the effortless feel but like anything physical its gotta hurt to get anywhere.
Excellent video. Thank you! Learning free style swimming at age 70 has been daunting but I haven't given up. I apply these tips little by little with lots of patience. The breathing was my big challenge and now I finally am feeling more at home in the water. I can swim 14 laps with breaks of back stroke swimming intermittently. I feel like a bird who learned how to fly!
You go girl!!!! You got this 💞
You are an inspiration to all! Keep at it. Having taken up swimming at 40+, I felt I could've done it sooner. But it certainly ain't too late to teach old dogs new tricks, as long as the dog is willing to watch CZcams videos and practice drills! 😊
try Adam ocean Walker’s video’s...I’m 68/ 10 years swimming, self-taught with real issues from major open-heart surgery (shortness of breath/ no power available) +quietly applied changes to my technique +can go long distance (2km is usual) in a meditative state of mind...love it..total time-out.
This is so awesome and great to hear. I’m 62 and I just started my 4th season of real effort to swim laps freestyle since age 48.
Each season was 3-6 months of genuine effort with swim classes , private coaching and practice practice, practice.
Ive been a hiker , mountain biker, some cycling and short distance runner (5-10 km) since my early 30’s.
Thought I’d try to do a mini triathlon at age 50 and was blown away how hard it was for me to freestyle 😮😒😌
So needless to say , 50 came and went without the accomplishment of reaching any goals of a triathlon.
So now I’m 62 and no longer reach for a triathlon but I do want to tackle this beast of a challenge for myself in the water with freestyle.
I’ve restarted swimming for the 4th time with genuine effort a month ago and with what I’ve previously learned and what I’ve gained with these amazing CZcams videos , I am slowly starting to see smidgens of a difference with ease of my technique with strokes , kicks and breath.
Right now I can do 25 m and feel I’m gliding smoothly through the water .
I can swim under water 12-13 m with one breath.
Goal for now -
* swim 200 m freestyle without breaks
* swim under water 25 m with one breath.
Thank you for inspiration and sharing ❤️
Amazing!
It's important to remember: Your legs take up the most oxygen in swim by a significant amount. Kick will only provide around 10% of your speed. If you're getting tired at 50 or even 25, don't even worry about kicks. If you really need to work on kicks, just do it with a kickboard. It'll make your practice much more efficient. As you get better, then work on kicks.
I stopped kicking. Doing just 1 beat small kick just for balance.
Went from 25m to 200m in 10 days
I rarely comment on CZcams videos, but I would like to thank you for your swimming tips. 2 weeks ago, I was struggling to swim more than 50 metres freestyle because I was getting out of breath. Yesterday, I comfortably swam 100m in under 2 minutes. Your technique made a huge difference in how relaxed and enjoyable my stroke has become. Cheers mate.
Exhaling through my nose has made a big difference! Thanks, I was tired after 15 meters originally. I can now complete the 25 meter length of the pool and I'm not exhausted. Getting easier every time I'm in the pool. Awesome videos, thanks very much! Cheers
I'm gonna focus on thta from now on i can swim 25 but I'm literally dying after so imma try exhaling through my nose
@@lazarebedukadze7244 any improvements after a month???? I’m so scared to start exhaling through my nose!!!!!
@@lazarebedukadze7244 how about now
The fact you go to the effort to provide these succinct videos for free is incredible! Thanks mate!

I just started freestyle .. it’s is a progression for me.. After learning how to properly breathe with my fins on, then w/o my fins learning how to keep my legs from dropping, then 15 meters, now at 25 meters..focusing many aspects of the high elbow stroke( my head, fingers first, the catch and pull) . So I’m sticking with it and am always excited I’ve gotten as far as I have. Yes, at first I was exhausted after the first weeks of finishing a 25 meter lap, but each day I’m less tired… more energized because of it being easier….I’m recently retired, 69 years old, and would love to show my 3 grandchildren not to fear the pool . Hang in there.. enjoy your progress!😉
Love watching the underwater, (and above water) strokes of a proper swimmer. Thanks for the tips.
One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen! Thank you so much!
This video was exactly what I needed. I am going to watch it again and give all the suggestions a try. Super helpful!! Thank you. 😁😁
I accidentally volunteered myself for the 200 free and I never done it before.. y’all wish me luck 😔
Good Luck!
MyLifeAs Val just volunteered for for the 50 fly for the first time wish me luck 🤪
good luck it’s not that bad i just was last place and behind by like five seconds 😂😂😂 but don’t worry haha i’m terrible i’m freestyle
MyLifeAs Val It’s not all thst bad. I do 800/1500 free all the time. Don’t sprint too hard at the start and try to be consistent.
😂😂 the ambition!
Thank you for this video! I’m still new to swimming and I struggle quite a bit with sinking legs. I will take all of your advices with me the next time I hit the pool 🏊♂️
I’m also exhausted after 25 meters BUT I’ve only had 2 lessons and I’m working on
remembering technique , breathing etc, etc , determined to put it all together in time.
Dude. What a find. You explain things in a way i have not heard. I've only been swimming since September 2021 and have really been struggling. A lot of what you said adds up. Going to try and implement some of these... if i can remember them all while in the water.
This was great. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into the videos. Can’t wait to put these tips into practice.
Your suggestions help me a ton!!! Before I can only swim 25m, at the end of it, my heart was racing and my body was working hard to get air. Your video makes me realize that I have been kicking too hard. The moment I slow down in my kicking, I can swim further as I'm able to keep my heart rate low. I also constantly tell myself to relax. Today, I was able to swim 100m for the first time! That's a huge improvement in just one week!!! Thank you so much!
That is so nice to hear! I am a new swimmer myself and I do struggle. The max I can do is 2 laps of 25 then I got to stop.
I see your comment was about 1 year ago. I am curious to learn about your progress if you don't mind.
Cheers
@@nathaliamedina5470 I switched over to use breast stroke instead of freestyle. Then, I can swim forever. It's a slower stroke, but that's okay with me. Good job in learning such an important life skill! Keep up the god work!
good tips, thank you, will try!
I've learned a few of these on my own with time - I had a very hard time w/ breathing - getting better. I appreciate this topic. Thanks.
Thank you! I watch your videos everyday and subscribed to your virtual clinic.
Glad I found this video since I was always wondering why I get tired after two lanes so quickly. I was exhaling from the mouth. Thanks a lot for the tips, I can't wait to try.
Thank you. Extremely well organised presentation of the issues. VERY much appreciated.
6 min into this video and I've already received more valuable advice than on any previous swimming technique video. Thanks.
Great tips! Cheers!
Brilliant video ! Always so insightful and concise.
brilliant advice, this guys videos covers so much on all levels.
Dude thank you so much! The nose thing and turning the kick level thing is so helpful! Thank you for making this video!
Thanks! Stoked to try some of these
Super helpful video, this is what I've been looking for. A lot of the "swim freestyle perfectly" videos out there are essentially "how to swim", not specific tips to improve if you know the basics already. Thank you so much!
Pause was the thing i was missing, balance improved a lot with pause. Thanks a lot man 🤗
Brilliant explanations!
I started triathlon 5months ago I have no coach but I always listen to this and Im improving 🤙🏼 first tri I joined swim was 32mins and then next was 30 and then 29 and my last was 27mins I manage to join 4 triathlon. Thanks to you 🤙🏼
27 this is good result for amateur
Thank you, the details are well highlighted and explained.👍
Brilliant tips! thank you!
Brilliant presentation......even the accompanying ads are health related and excellent products...I tip my hat to you and will incorporate these lessons
Thanks for those tips. Kick with pause helped me to get rid of the drag with back legs and cut down the number of strokes by 4-5 per 25 metres.
The nose thing is a revelation to me. Thanks
same
Thanks man! Great video and content!
notes for myself (Ignore):
Don't overkick
Good posture, tall proud posture, chest out, belly in, activated glutes,
Lean on your chest, press into the water, only crown of head above the water
Excellent explanation, thank you!
Doing my first 6x100 tomorrow…these are BRILLIANT tips…thank you!
Loved the skewer analogy in relation to body alignment, very helpful. Thanks.
This was so well put together. I am a runner trying to get over an injury so have decided to take up swimming in the view of possibly doing a triathlon. I can swim but have never learnt any technique whatsoever. When I freestyle in the pool I get overtaken by 80-year-old women doing breaststroke! The positive side is I burn a lot of calories and gain fitness!
Thank you very much I'm going to subscribe to your channel.
After 3 years, I am still watching it and savouring it: Master Effortless your session on this topic is the best ever !
You are the best at teaching swimming on CZcams, period
Thanks for the video, it really helped me!
For future videos, I would like to see more of someone swimming with you speaking over the footage as I feel like that would help much more to understand the movements.
Hi I can only keep one instruction in my head at a time so I am working through these slowly but the first tip has already made an enormous difference thank you.
At 71, I too struggle to retain all the information presented in these videos. Perhaps someone might consider a series of shorter, “potted”, videos for veteran swimmers.
Please don’t run away with the idea that we are novices, merely experienced swimmers looking to improve what we have lost over the years!
finally someone else also thought swimming "downhill" cannot really be related or applied into the water
Seriously good video, I'll give it a try asap, not expecting miracles but hopefully little things will make enough of a difference to a leg sinker. Thanks mate.
started with 0 expectations more like "oh i'll probably hear the classic, you dont exhale right, you keep your head outside the water etc." and it was really useful. Can't wait to practice these. Subscribed!
REALLY helpful, thanks 😊
Excellent video
bro your crawl stroke is CRUISINGGGG. I love it!
Great ideas. Thank you.
Very well explain.. This problem I face everytime waiting for summer to join my practice again with your tips thank 🙏💕you
Helped a ton!
Starting to see improvement because of this channel. Very useful tips, thank you.
Thanks for the advices!
Great video , thanks
I loved this video... thank you for the free content!
Great tips. Thanks a lot.
Great video!
Great tips!
This is so useful. I am a runner who wants to add a day of swimming to my training for cross training. I have never really done swimming for exercise so my technique is very inefficient. I can’t wait to try these tips.
What a brilliant video
Excellent tips.
Brilliant video :) Thank you.
A big thank you breathing through my nose helped me get through my workout. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this: really helpful advice!
Thanks very much. Very good 😊
This video is helpfull for every one ,,, thanks a lot, man ,,,
Very informative… Thank you.
Thanks so much for these tips. Aweseme! 👍👍👍
Nice ring pull at 08:11, cheers...I'm in line with Kolt above, similar result..thx.
This is brilliant.
Hi, these are great videos. I can comfortable swim a couple of km but my breathing seems to be a big limiter on my pace. Have you got any progression on breathing technique or is it more likely to be down to fitness? (currently swimming 3 to 5k a week)
I love your channel... used to liv in beautiful Oz... wishing one day being back... anyway, can you do some video about the most ideal food before and after a session?
You videos clips are so good. Well done indeed.
Helped a lot!
Thanks for advice
Nice information
I've seen on other channel videos (where they've analysed some elite swimmers smooth swimming footage) that they're doing the catch and kick on opposite sides, rather than the same side. What's the rationale behind having left side catch and left side kick together vs alternate sides? (Thanks.. great content)
Very good tips.
Good tips 👍🏻
Great advice 👍🏻🤙🏻
honestly best online swim coach I have ever seen...
This is super helpful.
That’s the video I needed! Thank you :)
Hi there. 1st thing:Thank you for posting these videos for free. Much appreciated. 2nd: am still trying to not be tired after 50 or 100m. I use a 2 beat kick, breath bilaterally every 3 strokes, and avg 200 or 215 per 100. 1 spend 3 to 4 hrs a week on swimming since december. But my technique seems to break down when I try more than 100m non-stop. Or if I try to go faster. I am hoping that some of your tips will help. I love the section of this vid with the chap with that 2 beat kick. What I aspire to. :)
Nice videos with tips we don’t find anywhere else !
Thanks
we are on our day two of swimming lesson with my daughter...she will be competing a triathlon this summer...i downloaded your videos and hopefully it can help us...thanks a lot
Only think that can help you is practice. Swimming is something you have to do over and over again the form will come.
@@StrikerFin you are right...it will really improve once you do it multiple times..right now, she has difficulty in breathing that is why she is exhausted after
Your videos prepared me to IronMan :) 2 months of practice with your tips and from being tired after 1 pool I was able to finish 3.8km in 1h 21mins. Awesome content of yours, thanks :)
How often did you swim?
@@SugarLandFishingBros Everyday for 1 month (that was my worst discipline so I focused on that) and after that ~3times a week mixed with bike. Last month of prep included ~2hrs of training a day, 6 days a week. And before IronMan 1.5 week of rest
@@pawetarsaa9904 hey pawel, great insight. I am training for an Ironman in October and can currently only swim 120 meters or so without being completely gassed. Luckily I can comfortably bike for 2-3 hours and run 10-13 miles. I am mostly worried about the swim. Do you think I can scale up all the way to 2.4 miles in a little less than 4 months or so?
@@SugarLandFishingBros It's definitely possible. Watch videos, see your mistakes, apply corrections. I had the feeling that I need to build proper muscles endurance, so I have noticed all my initial mistakes (like very bad breathing, not being aligned with the water, using legs too much) and after that, I started swimming for muscles growth. One of the most important things for me was that I always had some kind of goal when entering the pool. Sometimes 80x25 overall, sometimes 60x25 in 1 hour and at the beginning 40x25 overall. I have never left the pool without achieving it. Sometimes I felt like shit after the training but it was worth it
Menace
I watch all of your videos and absolutely love them👍👌
Taking lots of notes 📝
Thank you. I am a beginner and have found your videos to be exceptional
I struggle with the turn of the head in the water/air intake because a mouthful of water does have you coughing a lot. Think i have a reasonable streamline/posture in the water. 3'00"/100m roughly 1700+ meters 3 times a week. getting very close to continuously swimming for 50 minutes. The more tips we all watch/learn the better we all will become.
You are so awesome, learned so much from your videos, love from Denmark
thank you!
