How To Swim Freestyle | Technique For Front Crawl Swimming

Heading for a swim to try this out? Let us know how it goes in the comments, we'd love to know! 🙌🏊‍♀

U suck man

Without a doubt the video that's helped me most as a beginner. Thank you tons!

There is no explanation of the legs ??

Very informative now I see where I've been going wrong for 46 years lmao

Wht will i do, i want to stop to take more breath

When your favorite anime ship sinks, when the Mikasa Eren ship sank and Anime Only Ending believers had to swim away.

What about the feet and leg part?

Ima gonna go to the pool now. And would be nice to have a video breaking it diwn completly cuz ive never learned how to seim like that properly :'( but decided to trach myself!

Another video on free style swimming and not a single sentence about what to do with my legs. Are free style swimmers simply not using their legs for propulsion? I don't get it. I feel like this is a huge portion of your muscle mass just wasted. I was always swimming breaststroke fast, but I have no clue how to free style with any feasible velocity. Always looks like sorcery to me.

Initially gave a thumbs up.... However where was the guidance on kicking? Thumbs dooowwwwn

I wanna swim but it makes me shy when the lifeguards are staring at me 😢

I cant kick hard i kick sofe

Nice tutorial especially on rotation and keeping my head more forward and down.

All very good, but how do you breathe?! 🤣

Where will I find information about the use of the legs and feet for front crawl please?

Breathing? You don't teach breathing

This man is showing drowning swimming.

It is kinda hard to breath when you do front stroke and the water goes inside your ear if you lean your head too much.

I joined swim team and I have no clue what I’m doing, but now I do. Thanks bro

not enough about breathing which is very important. disappointed

Keep your fingers together first and that start teaching others how to swim effectively ;)

Hello guys, I’d like to ask for sth. Is rotating in freestyle similar to rotating in backstroke?

Hello, during the freestyle at which point does your leading arm start to pull into the water? What my coach taught me was that your back hand ahould be brought forward amd touch the leading hand before the leading hand starts to pull. But i observe that other people don't really do that. So do you start to pull with your leading hand when your back hand exits the water or what? What's the cue for your front arm to start pulling?

So many things are wrong...starting with the narrator's voice, ending with the awful sprint technique of the swimmer in the video. You should aim for the glide, not the thrashing.

Great breakdown. I seem to have a problem gulping some water as I breath while doing freestyle. Is there some tips on this?

I would add - keep your fingers together. Even here in slow-move moments underwater is visible, how the fingers are bent separately, how air is bubbling around each finger. It increases force needed to hold a palm, increasing a drag and turbulence behind each finger, which slows you down, increases the water surface to break entering your palm. decreases your "torque" because the water escapes between the fingers, and not all around the palm - it is like to have a holed paddle. All of it is minor effect, but you want to be efficient, right?

interesting how he says you need to get comfortable with the basics before trying rotating, for me i couldn’t get comfortable doing this stroke UNTIL i realized i should rotate!

I don't know why but I always feel like my right arm it's not doing things right although I raise up my elbow correctly

🌺🌸💐🌹

Nice
I’m a swimming teacher and love your videos 🎉

idk but i feel like i wanna quit swimming i got the free style wrong and the captin keeps drowning me like keeps drowning me i told him to stop but he still drowned me idk what to do anymore

Was this filmed on a GoPro?! Beautiful quality!

I’ve been swimming for years however I’ve created bad habits with my legs. I came here hoping to get advice of kicking. 😢

I used to be a fast swimmer when I was younger but it's been a LONG time since I did it. Just started going to the aquatic center near me, and on my first day back, they had a team training with their coach there. Oh man, did I feel self-conscious lol. I was really out of form, and after a few laps, decided to use my swimming snorkel until I can go without it. But I was happy overall and felt great after around 45 minutes of laps. Going to start swimming 3-4x a week, instead of the boring old cardio I've been doing for years.

Did I miss the legs?

Good video but the simplicity and instruction gets lost in the commentary.

I am finally getting that feel of swimming with ease because my technique is getting better, but I still need to get better endurance

Breathing is the most difficult part of this, actually in swimming in general, I finally managed to learn to properly breathe in breast style, its also harder in colder wather to keep calm rhythm while youre exhale under water because of that reflex of increasing heart rate… but here its harder because you breathing with face in the side where I struggle with catching water into nose, also it feel like it take more energy to do it, but I am learning, just need to find that rhythm and exact timeing to take a sip of air

I did my first sprint triathlon yesterday and it was a great experience. Thank you GTN for all the tips and videos! It was a big help getting me ready (especially on the swim).

the worse rotation in water history

What about breathing? I struggle really hard not swallowing water. The guy in the video doesn't even put his pull mouth above the water.

Thanks, this is helpful... although looks so easy in a flat pool, I'm trying to swim in the ocean...

thank you- well explained.

Only thing I’m missing is how to breathe

Hello, when taking a breath through the mouth, should it be emptied from the nose or the mouth under water? Thank you

a 6+ minutes video with no leg explanation.

Your guys video helps me so much ❤❤.I improved a lot.
