How to Keep Your Legs Fom Sinking in Freestyle

A very common issue in freestyle is when a swimmer's legs sink. This doesn't usually have much to do with how hard they're kicking. It's more about posture and core engagement. Watch this video and follow this drill progression to improve your body position for a faster and more efficient freestyle

You don't need 20 minute videos when you really know what your talking about. Best swim vids out there. Thanks C.

[@jesuscruz836]

You're a great teacher; so informative.

[@1ceQube]

Chloe..... You Genius ❤️❤️❤️
After 30+ years of doing it wrong.
I can finally kick "my anchor legs"

[@nme7885]

The problem i face the most is that when I am only kicking my legs ,i hardly move a few feet and then get tired

[@lolnarak]

Just want to say thanks so much for making all these videos! I only just started swimming, your videos are so extremely helpful. And I think you are awesome!

[@patrickwhite8144]

This is awesome! I have been practicing the freestyle drills you recommend in your other videos and they have definitely helped me improve my technique. I will add these to my routine.

[@mommynerdo]

Just got my 2nd private lesson and am doing your video and is consistent with my instructor's. Your videos are awesome and thank you for sharing, I am a 67 year old first time swimmer.

[@e.m.5499]

Hooray for you... I took my 1st lesson at my 60th birthday. It's never too late to learn.

[@zain4019]

You go girl!

[@danieliskander9680]

The problem with many beginners swimming techniques is bad training. Many start with a friend teaching them the dog style. Where you simply famble in water ..mixing short free pulls..hands wide apart ..head above water while doing frog kicks. Once one is able to float with this mixed tech it is hard to learn the basics.. one finds it hard yo do proper techniques and refuses to learn.
In my experience it is easier to train one who cannot swim at all than one with these mixed motions.
With free style..start with leg strokes.. master the leg strokes ..then learn the arm pulls...then learn body rotations then breathe.
All these can be learned in two sessions. Provided the student is good at listening

[@meetwaghela7247]

I love your technical drills

[@bg2g]

Excellent tips. Thank you.

[@weimondo]

Thank you Chloe!

[@jelle191]

Engaging the glutes did the trick for me! Thanks a lot!

[@shuaijunli3282]

Love your channel so much! I am passionate about swimming, and watched a bunch of your videos to learn by myself. You are so professional! Thank you very much! By the way, love the way you make videos. The episode and the background music make it so fun! Hope to learn from you one day and to be a professional swimmer like you！

[@hotivalmir]

Awesome! I appreciate you sharing these free tips, my legs don’t sink but I have trouble with the free kick and will definitely be using drills 5 and 6. Thank you so much!

[@joseluizengelke5128]

Thanks a lot my Friend for the videos.
You are so important for us.
God bless your way!

[@Beech1900pilot]

Thanks for the video. I think you may have hit on something I never gave a moments thought to when swimming… having an actively engaged core. I’ll try to incorporate this into my swimming next time I’m out.

[@mrwillwgp]

Yeah! ENGAGE your core! Sometimes we forget our bodies have everything to do with actually swimming!

[@GenePavlovsky]

That's true not only for swimming, it helps in many activities. E.g. slacklining.

[@LimLux]

Great content miss, I've learned a lot from you'r videos.

[@jed88]

G'Day from Australia! Your awesome. I really like the idea of balancing a paddle on the crown of the head drill. Thanks for all the trips.

[@kirtyshakya2234]

This is very helpful.
Thank you mam.

[@mahmoudfarid498]

Wow will try this next time. Thanks a lot!

[@monicablack7139]

Thank you. After giving up years ago, I am trying again to learn to swim. These videos are so helpful. And why are commenters worried about her make up. Obviously, when making a video that people will watch over and over, one might want to look her best.

[@ChloeSuttonswim]

Thank you! Yes!

[@primusinterpares9665]

Thx a lot for the perfect inputs...

[@Brandclothespakistan]

Well the way you teach is very easy to understand thanks im learning alot from you

[@laveenr]

I learnt to swim but I needed the technique one of the best video thanks🤗

[@BIMLounge]

I did 6 of these drills yesterday and they helped so much while being fun at the same time (I did feel sore the rest of the day so maybe it was too much fun 😂). I was finally able to move a significant distance while kicking. The improvement on the overall freestyle won't happen overnight BUT this helped tremendously to improve body position awareness and it gave me tools to check each individual component of the technique. THANK YOU!

[@emilygathoni2196]

Very good lessons.thanks alot

[@jarekro812]

Drill no.4 single balance breath that's the most important and toughest, if you master it you can swim longer and faster without gasping for air.
Thanks for the video.

[@glenndrew7917]

Thank you. These drills and ideas help break up a swim session. Will try the paddle on the head thing when its quiet in the pool.
