[LmfaoAFrog]

When i move my legs i just sink. I have them bent at 90 degrees and have them raised as high as i can. What am i doing wrong?

[yudokaBikes]

hey, im joining water polo this for my school, but i dont know how to thread, how long does it take to learn how to thread?

[Scarecrow545]

@yudokaBikes

Honestly, it depends. How comfortable are you with staying up in the water in general? If you know how to do a breaststroke kick well, this one shouldn't take too long. It's a similar motion, though not quite the same. The most obvious differences are that you're legs are alternating, and that the egg-beater usually uses a more circular motion from the knees and hips, and has the legs more widespread.

[99leadpencils]

OMG! I have that swim cap! ahaha 8)

[TheTheEunice]

I have to watch this video for p.e homework.

[Deafdreadhead17895]

[LastCommodore]

[ElReye03]

How do i get inside of a pool full of water?

[TheMapleNerds]

i was watching anime and then my browser froze and he said "Hi this is phillip toreyellow this is how to use the eggbeater" then my anime makes a explosion sound and im like WTF?!

[MrStCity]

The comments are too funny!! Lmfao!!!

[hohohee1]

Where the fuck can i find my lesbian porn expert

[walshwestern]

I've been trying eggbeater for the last three months and still can't come close- anyone got any tips?



[burgerdigger]

@walshwestern make sure your spinning your legs inward. thats all i got for for you =p

[mikehoncho3000]

thats an ugly eggbeater

[irishkisses3]

I have never seen this type of kick, I have been a swimmer for a number of years and have never seen this kick. Will have to give this one a try when i get in the water next time.

[lexsoft]

@irishkisses3 I will try this kind of water treading too. So far I have been using the up and down motion of my legs and hands skulling which caused me to get tired quickly. That's why I start to search for other technique which is efficient; now here I find a new thing I have never known before : CIRCULAR MOTION of the legs.

[GamertagS3CS33]

who cares if this guy has a tramp stamp and sounds gay he's a good teacher

[adamjankovec]

omg, im playing waterpolo and i thought this is tutorial how to kick someone in his balls..

[Zickino167]

Ya, i never knew how to do that, i didn't learn it the first time i was in water, and I didn't learn it in school either for some reason. Now i finally learned it, thank you! Now i can finally learn to swim!

UNNECESSARY TUTORIAL?

[unknownX51]

at 1:32 why doesnt he just stand?

[TheChillFly]

@unknownX51 Dude, he's showing you. duh

[ScopedOUT2]

[laubeatz]

[3Daver]

I've been practicing this technique for the past few weeks now and feel I'm ready to move on to the next step - shaving my entire body. Do you have a vid for that?

[iamiSniipezxX]

whats a tramp stamp lol?

[lilbabyblueblonde]

1:37 nice booty shake lol

...love the tramp stamp too!

[guardianDogg]

[superherobyday]

@guardianDogg Same reason he has a heavy lisp, and a sassy drawl.

[K9Parkour]

Thanks god i have a national water polo coach that is just awesome

[MsPEACE2012]

i am in water polo and i kinda know how to egg beat but i am kinda slow sooo yeah and just go to a public pool and ask!!!

[Giodamus]

I think a local water polo expert would be maybe a highschool/college coach

[m16mang]

The way this guy does shows how to do it and does it in the pool looks close to completely different

[ArtiEnergy]

[spiritofhalftruth]

What the hell? Does that dude have a tramp stamp!?

[xeno13]

@spiritofhalftruth he made aloooot of bad decisions lol

[zcforlife]

@spiritofhalftruth he's not even doing it right

[darlaCris]

i dont have to egg beat super fast like that. i move my hands like skulling.

or back and forth so my legs dont work out too much. 

[fenfen11251]

My swimming teacher says to move your arms too. so MOVE UR DAMN ARMS!

[Elfaggo]

@fenfen11251 he didnt mention it because it is so simple to do unless you need tips on how to do it.....

[aussieriemen]

@fenfen11251 It's easier with your arms. If you listened he said once you become good enough, you won't need to use your arms.

[ankurvermansit]

Your legs can sure beat multiple eggs!

[lilazntown]

Hmm tbh found it much easier to refine my breast stroke into an egg beater :)

i have been swimming competitively on a team since about 2nd grade and i just joined water polo for my highschool last year and i found it much easier to do a one legged breast stroke kick and add a circular motion to it

[shadrak12000]

Awesome video! HUGE HELP to me!!! practicing in my chair now.

[JDX4Lyfe]

this guy has a tramp stamp!

[vickynoodlex3]

[Coolboypokemon]

[jackson3434]

so hard to do

[viksmart]

How the fuck do I become a local waterpolo expert?!!

[bbgurl22ful]

eggbeater=biggest struggle of my life.

[xSugahighsnipa]

@bbgurl22ful same

[Nargaz]

@bbgurl22ful It's what prevented me from becoming a lifeguard.....

[kmklover]

this shit takes weeks of training if youre just starting out water training...I just started water training for Air Force Pararescue about a month ago and just barely got down the eggbeater. Once you can swim 500m with ease, the eggbeater should be simpler.

[skaterjm]

hey im training for it too. have you taken your PAST yet?

[amirmendes]

I've contacted my local water polo expert but all they say is to use a float

[leekwangtao]

exactly .. its for water polo when your defending and offending

[dymi14]

THAT'S THE KICK WE USE IN WATER POLO ^^

[sibisanmichael93]

exactly :D

[GrandmasMan]

no shit sherlock, that's one of the first things he said

[xSHOUTxITxOUTx]

@dymi14 NORLY?

[iwearimaginarypants]

ughhhhhhhhhhh eggbeater is so hard!! i just made the waterpolo team for my freshman year and this shits HARD.

[Al3cblack]

god =)) I almost shit my pants when i saw his legs in the pool

[13vickstathaslicksta]

dam you guys are wack i play for banning high school were undeafeted

[wuteve8]

i just started playing water polo and i can not do this it is sooo hard uhhg!!!

[HANDFRIER]

I second that motion! I just started about a week ago and everyone does it like it's easy :c

[thedriver]

i think what he forgot to say, also, is that you have to have your feet in a fixed position. nearly at a 90. vs. what you would be doing in a flutter kick, in a more relaxed position. also, your using the arch of your foot to do the pushing.

[ElYorte]

Where the fuck do I find my local waterpolo expert?!

[bbgurl22ful]

LOL

[evasivenose]

@ElYorte coach

[Gopfs]

@ElYorte hahahahhahaha!

[donnomar]

@ElYorte your mothers bedroom

[animal9651]

@ElYorte lmao

[IPawnt]

@ElYorte Your mother.

[araalan]

@IPawnt he just gt burnt! LoL

[IPawnt]

@araalan He sure did!

[voskospedo]

i play waterpolo and this is so0o0o0o0o0o0o hard to stay on water and don't drown!

[PiratePowell]

this guy isn't very good, he leans back too much...

[lizzdasizz11]

that's most likely because he is in shallow water and can't have his legs straight beneath him very well.

[PianistKimmyOfficial]

Hey, I take Bronze Cross, and I still have problems doing the egg beater. I think it's because of my lazy foot.. it never does the right thing. Even for swimming. Do you think this can be fixed? I mean.. I reallly wanna pass Bronze Cross, it's just that when I do the egg beater, I sink, and i suddenly have my leg s going in all different directions so I stay on the surface.

[DEChad]

As a lifesaving society examiner I can tell you that Egg Beater is not a requirement for Bronze Cross. However if you wish to go on to take your lifeguarding courses, you will need to become proficient in eggbeater.

[Tallywhackor]

haha bullshit i have all my quals and cant eggbeater yet but before i get a job it would probably be a good thing

[InfinityChallengeLuv]

thats strange cuz I actually failed my first bronze cross exam because I couldn't get an egg beater.I got it eventually, but just bearly so now in NLS its getting kind of hard to catch up and everyone is doing so easily! I recommend people get their egg beater completely down in bronze cross actually...

[InfinityChallengeLuv]

*doing it so easily

[sehctibkcuf]

唸緊佢陸上做一定很正點

[JellyBellyJustin]

so do you

[daxhoot]

Dude thanks soooo much for this one !!!!!

[Shibbyz]

The egg beater kick is the main source of knee pain in synchronized swimming and probably in Water-polo too. The best way to prevent those injuries is to warm-up well before each training by doing Half-Squats for exemple. When you perform the egg beater kick, its also important to rotate your thighs in and out. Doing that movement is still in the hips range of movement and it reduce significantly the stress on your knees.

Hope it helps.

Shibbyz

[Shibbyz]

(I'm a synchronized swimming coach for 10 years and I have an underdegree in kinesiology. One on my main concern in my coaching is to prevent injuries so the athletes can practice their sport all their life.)

[XxDEFCON69xX]

thank u for that

[gasmaster01]

lol yeah you'recool

[meiscool44]

hey thanks man i really apreciate it

[Shibbyz]

Some more tips for the most powerfull egg beater (proven by a UBC student in Human Kinetics):

- Wide knees

- Large knees

- Big circles with your legs (Nearly touch your bum and the surface of the water during your circles)

- Use your feet. (Your ankle is pointed when your foot is at your bum and flexed in front of you.

[bryanthelian]

ur talking as a swimming coach not for water polo

[theeSAMKIM]

"aegbeater" HAHA

[m1kasd]

thanks for this

I was treading water with the flutter kick and was wondering why I suck so bad :D

[daviddrane]

at 1:42 he looks like he is on crack!

[nibblefroz]

LEL

[daviddrane]

the expert village vids are good, but thwey give such weird names for stuff :D lol

[HamMan4321]

I've noticed most people have their right leg move in a counter-clockwise circle while their left moves in a clockwise circle. But is it just as effective to inverse this? In other words, you left goes counter-clock wise and ect. I just find this easier but i don't want to be doing it wrong!

[Shibbyz]

Its normal that one goes clockwise an dthe other counterclockwise because your body is symetric. To do the same movement on the other side, you have to perform it as if you're in front of a mirror in order to use the same muscles.

[bryanthelian]

it depends on what u feel confortable with..

[UCLAgirl210]

he's right, and a waterpolo expert is normally a coach.

i would love to see all of yall commentators get in and try the eggbeat or try to play waterpolo, you would sink to the bottom.

[kennybays]

Good Advice.

[ColinFailure]

Who the fuck has a local water polo expert?

[badboyforlife99]

gee i dont know any place that has a waterpolo club u dumb fuck

[evasivenose]

@ColinFailure coach

[DimachkaS]

@ColinFailure you have to first sign up for a country club membership

[johsy]

@ColinFailure hahaha "contact your local water polo expert" hahaha epic

[Garrysmod911]

@ColinFailure Go to your Local Pool. It should have a water polo team, if it does, talk with him.

[snuggl3s]

Doesn't it seem a bit silly to have a guy spend the majority of an instructional swimming video in a pool, but telling you how to practice the maneuver while in a chair? Why not have him do the maneuver... idk, while in a chair? Minute and a half goes by before he even does anything in the pool. It's good advice and a nice vid, but I don't understand the sense in having a guy use his fingers to demonstrate a swimming maneuver that you can practice in a chair. Meanwhile he's in a pool.

[trpusa]

Sitting in a chair restricts hip motion - definintely NOT what I would recommend.

[snuggl3s]

Whether or not you recommend practicing in a chair, what does that have to do with my comment? I think you missed my point entirely. Try watching from 0:26 where he recommends we use a chair, then ask yourself why he's replicating leg movements with his arms while in a pool.

[sccrallstar]

To learn more, contact your local water polo expert. HAHA that's just funny. Sounds like he's talking about a doctor...

[rev115spikafrever]

Is this painful to the knees if you do this too much?

[sccrallstar]

No, I don't think so. I never had great knees and it's find for me. It's fairly fluid and in water.

[dbisco9909]

nah i had the same question. i went from lacrosse to water polo after having a "career" ending knee surgery my senior year in high school, and the egg beater doesnt bother my knee at all. just be sure to stretch your legs out and start off slow. you'll work up to it. I never thought i'd be great at it, but im training to be a goalie now

[b4567890]

great vid very useful

[shamanqq]

and very good !

tnx!

[shamanqq]
