3 Crawl technique-tips to transfer your strength to swim speed

I am a Newby to swimming but very passionate about learning to swim. I have lower back problems and have been advised that swimming will help. Your videos are the easiest to understand and put into practice immediately.

Thank you for such clear instructions. I haven’t seen the practice plan yet, but it’s a great idea to send us with some hands-on tips to take to the pool.

Thank you.

Really helpful video. I went to the pool for the first time in many years 3 weeks ago as I am practicing for my divemaster certification. I had no idea that my swimming technique was so bad until I was in that pool. I kicked and kicked and went nowhere, or I kicked and kicked and went backward. Watching this and other videos I learned it was my foot position that was the problem. Now I need to get my arms in the right place, and my breathing down.

I plan to go to the pool twice a week at least to work on my technique.

Kindest regards,

Todd

Great tips

Thank you! Clear explanation and demonstration of common mistakes

Very good !! 🙂

Pretty clearly explained thank you.

Excellent, simple starters tips to improve technique and consequently efficiency. Thanks.

Good very goodvenjoyedvit and will try his tips cheers.

I always swim with kicking mistake position like in video and also the way to move my arms is not correct with uncompleted circle , moving like chicken wings.

I’ve Just started swimming lessons after a major stroke and this video has illustrated exactly where I can get better at what I’m trying to do. Thanks very much – Harry

Very helpful info. Thanks a lot.

I make these mistakes and more. I really liked this video. The explanation is clear and concise. The videos are very well produced and again, easy to understand and visualize in one’s head. Thank you so much.

Thank you

Very helpful. Can’t wait to go back into the pool. Thank you.

very useful videos

thank you

Very interesting, I’ve definitely be kicking wrong and I think crossing g my arms. Keen to get back in the pool to try these tops out

very informative especially the arms and the feet. Thank you.

its really excellent but i prefer to watch at the end the whole swimming correctly .

amazing

very good video even for those who think are good at swimming

Excellent video and tips. Thanks.

Fantastic information – thank you.

Excellent video! explains very Cleary how to correct mistakes and as a beginner I was making all 3.

I.,attended the pool for about a month. so far i am able to glide and stroke holding my breath mostly underwater however when i lift my head to take a breath my whole movement breaksdown help required. thanks

I have a different problem. When I start swimming, i use to kick 1st, which is ok, but then when I stroke kicking stops and when i kick stroke stops. I can’t do both simultaneously. Pl guide me

Hi, I would like to learn to swim with technique and style, and gain resistance to be able to do the iron man thanks

I started swimming more seriously last winter and these tips really helped focus my efforts to become more efficient in the water.

Spectacular! Excellent illustration and explanation. 5 stars

Very helpful — Thank you very much!!!!

Excellent video which I have played repeatedly many times to make sure I really understand everything and memorise your tutorial for when I practice in the pool. I have been a breastroke swimmer for 41yrs nd I am now 66yrs of a ge. I am enjoying learning the front crawl and have bought a kickboard to concentrate on my leg movement and build up the strength. I am just about getting the hang of bilateral breathing and turning my head with one goggle below the water line. I have found that breathing out through the nose and mouth with head facing down has been a huge help to me as it has helped me to relax better. ( i was previously exhaling only through my mouth and running out of breath very quickly. I am now beginning tofeel the catch of the water much better since watching your video and keeping my arms rotating in line with my shoulder line is helping as well. I feel as though I am beginning to make real progress and cannot thank you enough

Hello from Argentina.
I’ve seen your video at you tube and you explain very easy to understand, thanks for that.
Nowadays, on my 37’s, it’s been two years I practice this magic sport (I used to be a rugby player) and I’m starting to enjoy it, before I suffered it, no technique at all but I think I’m stuck and that’s way I got here.
Regards

very simple but mostly overlooked techniques. great to see it under water to fully get it, thanks.

You make it so clear

That’s great! I can not swim but still it will be of some help. Thank you

what a clear way of explaining the different aspects of swimming the crawl
thank you very much.

Dear Sir/Madam

I am interested to buy the swimming course however prior doing so, i would like to have some sort of a demo. Is there any demo of the full course? For example, provide videos, pdfs, exercises, schedules, drills or any other material provided in the paid version for just a single topic (footwork).

Thanks

Many thanks. That was simply put and very informative.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’LL DO MY BEST TO IMPROVE MY SWIMING SKILL GOD’S WILL

I like your information given in this vedios.sir i am from india and like to swim.sir from so many i am watch vedios but iam not getting which i saw yoday i will practice your tips but my exam are going on.once again thanks

Thanks for the instructive video!

Thank you for this video. I am starting to swim regularly and find this video very helpful as it gives practical tips that only a coach with lots of experience can transfer to a student. I especially like the part about kicking the ball to show how to whip the legs properly. I will take these tips to the pool and hope to improve my swimming techniques. Thanks again!

Very good communication of method

very useful tips given about improving freestyle and correcting mistakes on it.
thks

My mistake:
I am unable to kick faster than I move my arms. Legs tend to follow the same speed as arms.
I end up kicking little and move very slow.

Can you help?
Thanks

Great instructions – I hope – for me and my better swimming ! THX 😉

This tutorial brought an awareness of the mistakes I was making. I am happy to note these very useful instructions. I like the sincerity of the tutor

First error I was not aware of but I luckily don’t “slap” the water as I swim.
Second error I knew but I have that one under control.
Nice explanation on the leg work (error nr. 3). There is some serious work for me to since my ankles are not very flexible.

Just one remark : the swimmer in the video is always looking forward. He should be more looking downards to the pool since this reduces drag and makes it more easy to have a high position in the water.

Dear Jens
The video is of a greit help for non profesional swimmers. I`ve had for years problems with my kicks becouse it is not efficient. I hope the tips you posted will help me to improve my stile.
Thank you!

Thanks for the 3 points, as a beginner I’ll try to go through it… thanks a gain

Im a total beginner and i thought this video was brilliant , i down loaded it cos i want to look at it a few more times

Thank you for the tips.The best tips I have watched so far. Will definitely work on the problem using the techniques suggested.

Really useful, i think my problem at the start was with my foot position, due to an injury years ago my right foot suffers from cramp in the toes, but it is getting better with practice.
Will work on the techniques shown in the video.

thanks

Very interesting details you have remarked, thank you for posting.

Very useful tips,thank you

Excelent vídeo my friend.I am very glad with this swimm training.
Thanks a lot
Antônio

excellent video…what I am trying to figure out is what is the optimum pace for distance purposes. If I am swimming a half mile for example and I want a consistent pace how long should I glide forward before bringing down the crawl motion, so that I maximize distance and conserve my energy.

thanks again

Thanx for sharing. I like swimming. As for me it’s good exercise for my body. I even buy a nice swimsuit on http://www.proswimwear.co.uk/ so now I want to become a professional swimmer=)

OK Friend

I´m a brasilian citizen and a i´m a swimmer. I have been praticized swim for a long time, and this vídeo add much more to me. Great video and camera angles.

Certainly iám going to learned with this vídeo very much.I would like to buy this vídeo. Where can i get there. I have requested the free workout and look forward to watching more videos. Thanks you!

The position of the head at the start and in de trayectory of the swimm

Great tutorial!

It’s so clearly explained and shown on the video. Totally put attention when im training

Glad to have seen your 3-common mistakes video and glad a course is available to improve it. Otherwise, I’ve tried different corrections to improve my freestyle that are wrong.

Very useful for me, especially the exercises with the pads and for the kick !

Very interesting.thanks

“Danke” this helps a lot

Exciting to finally understand how I I can develop a better stroke; thank you!

Very good tips. Thanks alot.

Excellent Video…Thanks for the tips…

Hallo Jens

Where about do you teach in Hamburg. Are you able to do 1:1 swimming lessons for the second week in April?
Best wishes
Doris

Great video and camera angles. I really like the slow motion work and the footage of the first mistake, which so many of my young swimmers do. The description of “bubbles” vs. “no bubbles” is perfect. I am going to try it with some of them today!!!

I agree with the comment below about head position on the streamline. The chin should be down with the eye focus on the bottom of the pool. Watch videos of any Olympic swimmer and you will not see the head or eye focus that high. I agree that the head can lift a bit for the breakout, but then it should come back down again for the swim. That said, I coach at an international school and find that many of my students from Germany and France have been taught to swim with a high head. I find this odd because it is not as efficient or streamlined. Any comments on this???

I have requested the free workout and look forward to watching more videos. Thanks you!

The position of the head at the start and in de trayectory of the swimm

Sounds and looks good – looking forward for the 10 videos in the web course! I make 2 of the 3 mistakes myself, so maybe there are more I can discover and fix… Thank you so much!

I am a frother and just dont know what my legs are doing. This video is going to help me a lot I am sure.

Excellent Video…Thanks for the tips…

Well explained, thank you, Jens! I´m looking forward for more in the course… Especially the under water movies are great and very helpful!
