How to Swim Faster Freestyle. . . with High Legs and Low Drag

[jshaules]

Glad you now have the tools to swim with high legs now. You'll eventually be able to lightly tense the back muscles and, with a little leg tension, swim as flat as can be.

Thank you for the epiphany!!! can't wait to get in the pool!

Thanks! We had never found any intelligent instruction on how to remain horizontal to the surface of the water.

Excellent - and very entertaining too! wish I'd seen this a few years back when I started trying to swim 'properly'. I'd just about given up on getting my kick anywhere near decent but I think I know where I'm going wrong now and more importantly how to go about fixing it - many thanks.

great one, you stated the basic problem why people sink their lower body! gonna tell my friend what their problem are :-)

Cool to see how it's possible to lie flat on top of the water. It's helpful to have the illustration of the muscles that need to be used to accomplish this. Lots of fun to watch too!

Great video. Thanks for posting. So many people have this issue, especially triathletes and those new to swimming. I like your drills for correcting the problem. No one else seems to address this basic idea for good technique. I will have all of my swimmers watch this video.

Very good description of a technical aspect of swimming. Should be helpful to many swimmers.
